Skinny jeans



Recommended Posts

In your opinion, what jean size is a appropriate to wear skinny jeans? Lets be honest! This is on my bucket list but I am oh so reluctant....

As soon as you feel comfortable. Challenge the status quo!

Ok I keep hoping skinny jeans will go out of style because they look horrible on anyone that isn't skinny. I'd say try them when you get out of plus size so maybe a 10 or 8? I do agree wear them when you feel comfortable but we've all seen people who look horrible in them.

I will be waiting to get to that size 10 or 8 myself. I was my healthiest at 135 lbs, and I was buying 8s and 10s then. Good grief, that was 30 years ago! Just getting started, so that will be 100 pounds from now.

It all depends on the person's shape really... I do agree with you tho, you should be a smaller person to wear skinny jeans, but I've seen some beautiful pear shaped women wear them with a pair of nice knee high boots and they looked killer!! So??

I agree knee high boots with them can look pretty good!

I tried on a16 and looked pretty decent, but they just aren't my style and I didn't care for the look in general.

Anybody in em'? What brand worked the best to flatten out the tummy region.

I'll be trying them once I have the confidence. I plan on only wearing them with boots....

I like the ones from Forever 21+ I get size 14-16 depends if they stretch. I feel comfortable in them. I don't think I look bad either ( no one has said anything at least lol)

It is definitely more dependent upon shape and body proportion rather than size. Also style: if you are wanting to wear just the skinnies and sandals then yeah, you pretty much have to have either skinny legs and a flat ass, OR have legs that are longer in ratio than torso length. If you have short legs and a long torso (like me) then the skinnies and sandals look isn't satisfying. However, a universally flattering look whether you are a size 00 teen or a card carrying Lane Bryant shopper, is what I call the "Riding Academy" look; a structured jacket/blazer, loose empire waist blouse/shirt/tunic that hits right at the lower hip/crotch, skinnies in a dark rinse denim, and just below the knee riding boots. I have seen this look on skinny little girls and voluptuous women and it looks killer on everyone, and now that we are headed into Fall, it's especially fetching!

When I started this program, I was size 22/24. Because I am pushing 62, I will only get one pair of skinny jeans, in a dark navy blue wash, probably just to wear around the house. But I will do it because I can. It will be a tangible goal prize.

I am a size 14 and I have a few pairs, however I am hour glass shape, and tend to wear them with boots. So needless to say I haven't been wearing them this summer, but I love to rock them babies in fall and winter.

I'm down to a 12 in pants, and very tall with no hips or butt. I'm an apple. I tried on a pair by accident the other day and while I COULD wear them, I won't. I've lost so much in my thighs, that they are all jiggly now when I walk. Not a good look for me. I'll stick with straight leg jeans. By the way, I like Not Your Daughter's Jeans for tummy control.

Not Your Daughter's makes a skinny, in a dark indigo wash, very nice! And apple shape looks great with skinnies, in the riding academy style I mentioned above!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
