Julie: Should I Be Wearing Skinny Jeans?
I recently received another great question on the Ask Julie main post:
"Hi Julie! I created a profile and it suggested a number of jeans for me, some of which were skinny jeans. Because of my proportions, I know for a fact that skinny jeans don't work (I have thick thighs and calves). What do you think the problem could be if I am being honest in my measurements, but my results still don't fit properly because the thigh is way too tight?
- Sharon"
Great question Sharon! For the fit predictions to be accurate we need you to be honest about your measurements, but one feature that is great about our site is the style search. Truejeans will generate a personal catalog of all of the jeans that will fit you in a certain size, paired with a star rating. From that point, it would be up to you to narrow your personal style preference and you could eliminate skinny jeans altogether, amongst other categories that you don't feel comfortable in such as extra low rise or snug fit, etc.
It is a pretty common misconception for a figure that has a fuller thigh so stay away from skinny jeans. If you are uncomfortable in the style I would definitely stay away, but if you are comfortable in a skinny it should be paired with a heel and a longer top, or tucked into a boot to balance out the top of the leg and hips. We also suggest for a fuller thigh to stick with a darker wash to create a slimmer look, and a fabric that has some stretch to it. Thanks again! - Julie

I just filled out the form for true jean fit. I am curvy and have a long torso. I put waist as where I wanted the fit as it is hard not to show too much rear. The results came back with low rise which doesn't even cover my back side. I bought some Levi curvy boot which are about 8" front and 14" back. I need a little higher in the front and strech. I've tried on tons on jeans and can't find anything to fit.
