Skinny jeans are probably at the peak of popularity right now. Unfortunately, skinny-leg jeans are not for everyone. It's much of a no-flaws-allowed trend that many women don't manage to pull off. Skinny jeans will definitely look great on celebrities and models with stick-thin legs , but can the next-door woman pull off this hot look? The answer is  yes but only if you follow a few tips. A lot depends on your body shape, still many women can carry off this style and make it look fabulous!

Balance skinny jeans with volume on top such as tunics, bell-sleeve tops or dolman-sleeve tops . Remember that dark washed skinny jeans  are the most popular and look the best.

Slim-fitting stretchy jeans will look great tucked into your boots. The combination is to-die for! You can also pull off a pair of skinny jeans, pairing it with high heels for a leg-lengthening look. This is a great look especially for women with shorter legs and the effect can be very slimming.

 Flats will work as well, for a more casual vibe! Especially if you are tall and thin! Be careful though, flats tend to exaggerate the butt and hips and make you look heavy.  Last but no least, if skinny jeans just aren't your thing,  there are plenty of other options. Be sure to avoid trying to pull out a look that doesn't make you feel beautiful and comfortable.

During the 60s, skinny jeans were mainly the domain of rock n roll's trendiest men such as Mick Jagger. The late 70's brought punk in the spotlight and punk bands such as The Clash, The Stooges, The Ramones and The Sex Pistols immediately adopted the runaway style.

However, men's jeans scene has been very much dominated by the pants-exposing hip-hop/skating boy, low-slung look. Skinny jeans are mostly considered the antithesis of that. There are indeed a large number of hip waif-like indie men who can pull off this look. However, the truth is that skinny denim is probably not for everyone. First of all it will definitely not work if you are on the plumper side. If you are toned or thin chances are you will manage to carry off the style especially if you pair it with a slim shirt and finish off with a pair of converse to add an extra indie touch. Your look will radiate Rock'n Roll!

At some point, they have all agreed that skinny jeans are the trendiest for men and women as well.

Most men think that wearing skinnies makes them look gay. Others, the most adventurous ones, say that wearing skinny jeans help them define their long, toned legs and provide emphasis to the size of their package. Bottom line, they tend to look ridiculous on men who are not the lead singer of a rock n roll band or something like that.
Risky challenge but it's probably worth trying!

Another disadvantage lies in the fact that it is terribly hard to find your fit. Skinnies aficionados must be prepared to try a bunch on until the perfect fit comes by. Just be sure to avoid jeans that are so tight you can't even move or breath! One size larger is fully recommended!

Skinny jeans can look fabulous indeed on a tall and slim figure. However, chances are that they will make a curvy woman look like a duck. Especially if she teams them up with ballet flats. And yes, they can make a girl's bottom look about three feet lower than it actually is.

Skinny jeans are trendy only if they actually work for you and your body. If not, you must shed no tears, there are plenty of other jeans in the sea!
