Hello. I was watching television with my daughter one night and a plus size teen had on some skinny jeans. I was just wondering if any plus size women wear skinny jeans. I haven't attempted to go that route myself! I prefer the boot cut or the flare because my butt is rather round! I also have some hips! I remember back in the 80's when we had those stretch jeans. I did not like them then. They were too tight and they rode up. I was a bag of bones and I hated them. No change of heart now! However, my daughter is in middle school and she thinks they are all the rage!!

I love skinny jeans. I think they lengthen the leg and look great with longer tops but it's all about body shape more than body size. If you have bigger hips, skinny jeans may accentuate them. Boot cut jeans balance the hips and make a woman's body more proportioned. And that is any woman's body. I am thin and I have to admit that, while I love skinny jeans and wear them a lot, boot cuts actually are a bit more flattering. They balance out my long chicken legs and make me look more feminine because a boy shape.
I think if skinny jeans are something you like, you should wear them! But if you look in the mirror and don't like how you look, then I'd go back to what you feel best in. My older sister is plus sized and looks great in skinny jeans. She wears heels and a longer top and looks slimmer than she ever did before. On the other hand, my shorter, hippier plus sized younger sister doesn't look good at all in skinny jeans. They make her hips look wide and legs look short. It's all in body shape!
I think most women look best in boot cut or slightly flared jeans. But I still love my skinnies and have several pairs. I wear boot cut and flared jeans too. I just won't wear the ultra high waisted new jeans because I am short in the torso and they go up to my boobs. lol.

I honestly don't think any sized person should wear skinny jeans! I hate them, they are UGLY and they make people look anorexic. I'm with you, boot cut or flair all the way, they look good on any size person.
