Get the Skinny…
Posted on Thu, Apr 14, 2011 Spring is here and it’s time we all got the SKINNY on Spring’s SKINNY jeans. I’ve selected a few of my favorites that are perfect for any occasion where you want to look extra sleek. First up is Tory Burch’s take on the trend. This is a downtown chic look. The gold zippers at the bottom are a perfect touch to add to your bad self. I would wear these out to dinner with a flowing top and some super cute pumps. Nothing to much though, you don’t want to compete with the gold zippers, but do accentuate with gold jewels up top. Next is D&G.. this euro brand is all about the distressed look and for good reasons. This trend is still in swing and will give you a more relaxed look that you can easily glam up or play down. All cropped/skinny jeans should be worn with amazing heels- that is their appeal, at least in my opinion. Bootcuts, flares, and wide-legs have nothing on the skinny- especially in the shoe department. You won’t get this kind of exposure of your fab Jimmy Choo’s without wearing a skirt or shorts, but sometimes you want to cover up- especially after a long winter- and that’s where the Skinny comes in.
Citizens of Humanity has two great takes on the trend. I love the red for a pop of color, especially with Memorial Day and the Fourth coming up. Wear these with a muted top and some chunky accessories. When you do a bold bottom, it’s important to keep everything else low key so you don’t scare anyone or get taken away by the fashion police. And then COH has the white cropped option. White is always right in the summer. It’s hard to not find a nautical top or something more earth tone-ish to go with white on a spring/summer day. It’s a crisp clean look that always turns heads- just be careful if you’re a messy eater. And lastly we have a pair of skinnies from Hudson. I’m a personal fan of Hudson because I think they flatter most women in ways that a lot of other, more classic brands, are unable to. The flap button pockets are great for accentuating a behind that would like some more attention. While my booty has plenty, I still like the low rise feel and length of these jeans.
So there you have it- the Skinny on skinnes for Spring 2011. Now get to the gym so you can wear these… just kidding, they are great for all body types!!
