Tips on Buying Skinny Jeans
By Jacquie Generra

The current trend in fashion is ultra tight or skinny jeans. Purchasing the proper pair of close-fitting jeans demands a special talent. Follow this guide on how to bring out the best and hide the worst when buying skinny jeans.

Measurements: A high-quality tape measure is needed for this, whether to measure a pair of your own jeans or your own body or both.

Measure yourself in these important spots:

Waist – The point where zipped jeans close by button or snap is the level where to measure around the body for the waist. When measuring your waist, be sure the tape measure is tight. Very tight jeans usually give two to three inches because of the elastic built into the denim. As it gets older it will fit your body more generously.

Leg – Using the tape measure, gauge from the crotch seams down to the spot where you would like the jeans to fall. Depending on how you wear the jeans, they can be as short or as long as you would like.

Low down hip – This is the edge of your widest part of your butt. It can be measured between your navel and the crotch seams. Almost all pairs of skinny jeans contain enough elastic to stretch a bit, keep this in mind.

Top thigh – Measure the circumference of the top of your thigh – just below the crotch.

In most cuts, this is the widest part of the leg, then it will taper at the knee.

The cuff is measured across the width of the very bottom of the leg, just inches above the ankles. Cigarette or stove pipe pants become narrow at the end so make sure you can squeeze your feet through.

High style. Pencil thin chinos are intended to make really slender women look sexy by emphasising their silhouette. They are not suitable to be worn by everybody. These are fantastic looking paired with lengthier shirts and a pair of pumps. Avoid boot legs which are wider at the base – opt for the slim leg fit and avoid ‘loud’ colors or your legs will appear wider and your body will look shorter. Your legs will look defined and shapely when you frame them with lighter colors.

Look for sales and good deals. So you have your measurements but fitting the jeans by trying them on before you pay for them is essential. You need to look in the mirror while you are in different poses, including sitting, standing, and squatting. Examine how the jeans stretch and the excellence of clasps and zips. At the back of the waist it should fit snugly.

This jean emphasizes volume around the midsection, for both men and women and gives an illusion of a leaner silhouette to exude sexiness. Just about everyone should have one pair in their wardrobe because of comfort and versatility.
