We all know that Hollywood hipster types have been wearing skinny jeans for quite a while now... Cameron Diaz, Sienna Miller, Nicole Ritchie, Hilary Duff etc... and now skinny jeans are at retail virtually everywhere. My advice is PLEASE, approach with caution!
Skinny jeans should be worn only by super skinny people with small butts... sorry rest of the world. Skinny jeans put a focus on your lower legs and ankles - if the top of your legs and butt are large this contrast is just not going to look good. Personally, I think they look pretty dumb even on skinny people.
I am sure that 99% percent of fashionistas will disagree with me about skinny jeans. People are always looking for a look that is new - and skinny jeans are - we haven't seen tapered jeans since the 80s. Perhaps it is easier for younger people to adopt the style because their fashion history reference points don't really go back that far. I guess I'm just an old fogey.
If you must wear skinny jeans, they can look cool tucked into a killer boot. For the non-super skinny who must wear them, it's probably good to pair them with a tunic style top which are pretty popular now anyway.
