Skinny Jeans?

    Just looking for suggestions on this really.

    I bought a cheapy pair of skinny jeans to wear with boots. I'm 5ft 11 with a 35in inside leg so a good pair will not reach the floor, so i thought a cheap pair would do cos you don't see how short they are inside jeans.

    Any who, i'm just wondering the do's and don'ts about wearing them?
    What are the bad ways to wear them?

    As i personally think i have big thighs - so not sure what to put with them ie long top or short top.

    Thanks!

    You're tall so you should look ok both ways. Still, the best is to check both in the mirror!

    I can only wear in jeans cos they would stop at my ankles otherwise.

    Are skinny jeans encouraged with wide hips and thighs? And how would you disguise them.

    I guess you try different lengths of top and see which ones look best. I find that a top that ends at the widest part of my hips looks best but other factors like the fabric colour and whether it's a print or not also play a part.

    Well, whatever you wear, wear it well! :D

    Maybe others will have advice that makes it all simpler!

    Depends how wide.. your pretty tall so you would compensate for 'wide'.. never the less.. who cares? Wear em if you like em.

    imo, hightops/lowtops/cowboy boots... thats about it

    I have big hips and thigs, but am half a foot shorter.
    I would go for a long top, they'r really in at the moment anyway, so you'll have no trouble finding them. Otherwise your legs can look like two carrots.
