And here’s why:
within your silhouette, you can always wear a shorter version with skinnys under.
It may not be easy. Back in the 90s, when the oval (long sweaters and leggings) was the look; it was all but impossible for me to achieve with my proportions. The top never quite covered my bottom. 😉
But now, I think fashions have loosened up a bit; and I have too. If I can’t find the exact thing I’m looking for, I may need to spend more or alter something to work.
So, the point I’m trying to make is this:
if you want to wear slim pants, and you are a body type that normally wouldn’t; wear a long top, or even a short dress, that creates the shape you are after for the shoulders, waist, and hips.
Nine times out of 10, that will work!
I guess it would, because a person has legs, anyway, and those are “skinny” (form-fitted). 😀
I hear the skinny jean silhouette has taken hold the world over and people refuse to give them up.
Though I did read one piece by a guy with the new skinnier suit and he couldn’t squat to change a tire!
I have never owned a single pair that has that creased around the knee sausage casing look. Philosophically, I think it’s TMI. And if they’re close to a typical skin tone, just awful at a distance. Is that woman half naked?
Lol. That is so true! I confess, I recently biffed a perfectly good pair of summer ankle pants just because they were light pink 😉
I am still figuring out what all this means for my own wardrobe, but I am very thankful that at this point, while I am still figuring it out, it is small! 🙂
