Determine Which Trends Work For You
Just because skinny fit jeans are in trend does not mean you have to wear them. Take your time to determine if a particular trend works for your body type. If you think your legs are too skinny, then opt for straight cut or boot leg jeans over skinny fit ones. Knowing what works and does not work for your body is the most crucial step in achieving a more flattering figure.
