For 99.9% of the women in the world, the words “skinny leg”, “straight leg” or “jeggings” brings a serious sense of panic on the level of words like “cellulite”. Contrary to popular belief you don’t need to be “skinny” to wear skinny jeans (but you do need to be proportionate). Check out a few of our favorites below.

Uhm, this article doesn’t help at all. The pictures show stick thin girls wearing them, except for the last one where the pants look horrible.

WOnder why they don’t show heavier women in skinny jeans? I am too afraid to try.

same here, I disagree with this post. I really don’t think that “Skinny” jeans can be for a plus-sized especially for people like me who are petite plus-sized, it’s very unflattering.

i love skinny jeans…at first i was afraid to wear them b/c everything i read about skinny jeans and big chicks being a terrible combination…then i tried them and loved them! they’re pretty much all i wear, besides leggings. fyi, i’m a snug size 20, i came down from a 24 and even wore them then. i’m 5’8″ and 277lbs.

Although, I dont think article is satisfactory, I do agree with the statement that skinny jeans are for everyone, its just how you wear it. I am a size 18 in jeans and I rock those better than most size 5. In my opinion they look better on curvy and plus size girls because they emphasizes our bottom half more.
