If you’re lucky enough to be below a size 4, the fashion world is your playground. You’re able to pull off practically any trend, whether it’s cropped t-shirts, silk shorts, or the newly coveted denim leggings. However, you are also the minority. While skinny jeans have become a wardrobe staple, they are definitely not universally flattering. This season, many designers have noticed the issue- and have actually done something about it. Hallelujah! Finally, there is a jean that has the potential to look good on any body type. No, I’m not talking about the mysterious pair of Levi’s from “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants”. What I’m referring to is the new style being embraced by the biggest names in denim, the skinny bootcut. It is, essentially, what it sounds like. The jean hugs the thighs without suffocating them, and then flares slightly just below the knee. I kid you not when I say these jeans are miraculous. Not only do they have a great slimming effect, but (unlike previous bootcut styles) these can also easily be tucked in to your favorite pair of fall boots without the bulk of extra fabric around your calves. Skinny bootcut jeans also look great with heels, flats, and flip-flops. All in all, they are the perfect everyday jean. For a cute daytime look, try styling a pair in a medium to dark wash with a neutral sweater and platform clogs. If you’re more of a party animal, wear a pair of skinny bootcut jeans in a super dark wash with a flirty silk top and your absolute favorite pair of heels. Embrace this season’s trends by tucking these jeans into a pair of military inspired lace-up booties, dressing them up with a faux-fur jacket in a leopard print, or by picking a 70’s inspired pair with more of a flared leg. No matter how you choose to wear them, these jeans will look just as good as your standard skinny jeans, if not better.
