SKINNY jeans have been trending for some years and they don’t seem to be going anywhere soon. The good news is that you don’t have to be skinny to rock them. "Skinny” is a name given to them in the fashion world. And they come in all sizes and colours. While they are known to make the legs longer than they actually are, you have to know that they accentuate every part of your lower body. So, if you are one person who is afraid of showing off your figure, then most probably they are not for you. Anyway, for whatever size you are, here are a few tips on how to rock them and flatter your body shape:For a better slimming effect, go for the dark colours as opposed to bright colours. The latter is known to make things appear larger or bigger than they are. So, if you are a plus size you might want to leave the bright coloured ones for the relatively small people. The skinny jeans don’t have to be tight. Go for the stretching material; that way you won’t feel constricted. Skinny jeans don’t have to be very tight on you or very loose for that matter because they lose their skinny-ness. The shoes you choose to wear with them is entirely up to you. However, heels and wedges make you look taller. So, this should work well with the petite ladies. Taller people can pair the skinny jeans with ballet shoes or slip-ons. On cold weather, you can pair them up with boots (that’s if you are a boots person). Good thing with skinny jeans is that they can match with any top. However, fashion experts advise one to wear loose and flowing tops to balance off the effect of the skinnies. However, you can rock the skinny jeans with your own personal styles. Whatever you feel works for you as long as you avoid looking like a clown. Skinny jeans can be found in most textile shops in the city centre and the downtown. Prices range from Rwf8,000 to Rwf25,000.
