This is no April Fools. There is such a thing as fabulous, flattering skinny jeans that you will love, at any size! Skinny jeans can be your friend or enemy, it all depends on the particular pair. But we’ve all learned from What Not to Wear that wearing baggy clothes only adds the appearance of pounds. So take them away with the perfect body-hugging skinnies!
The best skinny jeans for curves have a mid to high rise that contains the muffins and slims the tummy. Also, look for a super versatile dark wash that goes with everything and is even more slimming than basic black. The last key to that perfect fit is length. Find a pant that hits right at the ankle and looks great with flats, sandals, boots, and even heels.
