I have been learning all the ins and outs of how to wear skinny jeans - with boots of course but because we are coming into summer, also with killer heels, flats and flip flops. R says that the worst mistake you can make when taking ups jeans is to make them too short - flared jeans need to be almost to the ground but skinny jeans are a little tricky to get right. Have them as long as you can make them without cupping the bottoms too much; a certain amount of cupping however is necessary for the look and with summer jeans you can fold up the bottoms for a casual look.
This is what she says on her site http://www.shopatnextdoor.com/ - click on Jean Scene at bottom of Home Page.
'No, you do not have to be skinny to wear skinny jeans. It's all about how you wear them that makes the difference. Going into a Wisconsin winter, we all know how great it is to throw on your favorite skinny jeans with a pair of boots and a big oversized sweater. It's the one time that living in the frozen tundra makes fashion fun as well as practical. But thankfully that is all behind us for another seven months or so. So now what? Well a picture is worth a thousand words. Wear skinny jeans with killer heels, your favorite flats, barefoot if the moment is right and of course your favorite flip flops. You can wear a skinny jean scrunched around your ankle or cuffed for a casual look. That solves some of the length issues, which is nice for us as well as you. Of course we'll always shorten them for you if need be.'
Off now to help take up some jeans - I am learning how to do a professional job but am under threat of dire conscequence if I devulge the secret. Sorry!
