Why I'll be out of style for a while

Yeah, it can be argued I am never really fashionable. But now that skinny jeans are on their way back into the stores, I will definitely be unfashionable for the foreseeable future. I am in the process of buying enough boot cut jeans to weather the skinny jean storm. Want to know why? Because skinny jeans suck for anyone who is over a size 2, and even some of those skinny ladies can't pull them off. Skinny jeans just aren't made for people that have things like thighs and hips. Check out the following photo. The lady on the left is wearing the dreadful skinny jeans. Even though she is clearly thin, the jeans make her hips look particularly humungous because the cut drives the eye from the smallest to largest area. The girl on the right has got on the comfortable boot cut. The semi-tight on the upper leg, widened at the bottom pant leg jean elongates the leg and minimizes, rather than maximizes, the hips and thighs region. Still don't see it? Try looking at the photo while allowing your eyes to go a wee bit blurry. Boot cut girl is in proportion while the only thing you see on skinny jeans lady are the hips and thighs. And she's skinny. Put those jeans on someone who actually has hips and thighs and you're in for a world of hurt. So yeah, I won't be buying those jeans, unless I suddenly drop into the Karen Carpenter weight zone.
