Who Is Suitable for Wearing Skinny Pants?

Don’t blindly follow the trend just because you see bloggers wearing skinny pants, because the cruel truth is that not everyone is suitable for wearing skinny pants! And they are picky about figure shape. So, in order to avoid making more mistakes in dressing, our advice is to first find out whether your figure shape is suitable for wearing skinny pants.

👢Ladies with slender legs. There is no doubt that women with slender legs are more suitable for wearing skinny pants than those with thick legs. For women with imperfect leg lines, wide leg pants can cover up the flaws of their figure to a large extent, but for women with perfect and beautiful legs, wide leg pants will undoubtedly cover up their advantages, while skinny pants will fully highlight their advantages.

👢Ladies who love doing sports. If you love fitness, then skinny pants will definitely have a place in your wardrobe. Whether you are running, doing yoga or exercising in the gym, skinny leggings are a very good choice because they will not hinder your movements at all. However, those ladies with slender legs and rarely exercise much may choose skinny pants made of denim or other materials, but for ladies who love fitness and sports, skinny jeans are completely inferior to stretchy leggings because they often need to stretch during exercise. At the same time, you don't need to worry about your legs not being slender enough. On the contrary, exercise and fitness lead to plump and firm muscles on your legs, and the lines of these muscles are also very beautiful.

So, for those ladies who have imperfect leg lines and do not like to exercise, is there no chance to wear skinny pants? That is not the case. Not all skinny pants are tight from the waist to the ankles. You can choose skinny pants that are more suitable for you according to your needs. For example, if your calves are thick and your thighs are relatively fine, you can choose flared skinny pants, which are skinny above the knees and gradually widen below the knees. In this way, the purpose of highlighting the strengths and avoiding the weaknesses can be achieved.

How to Choose a Pair of Ankle Boots to Pair with Skinny Pants?

If you've been sure that skinny pants are right for you and you want to match them with a pair of ankle boots, let's get into the process of choosing a pair of ankle boots. In our previous blogs, we have introduced to readers the tips for choosing many kinds of clothing, but how to choose ankle boots has not been involved. But in fact, the principles are similar, and the main factors to consider are still fabrics, styles, colors, etc. In addition, for shoes, you also need to consider whether there are heels and how high the heels are.

Just as the most important factor to consider when buying clothes is your figure shape, the first thing to consider when buying shoes is the size of your feet. If conditions permit, it is best to try them on before buying, because shoe sizes may vary from brand to brand. When trying them on, make sure there is enough room for both the toes and the heels. Especially for a pair of ankle boots worn in autumn and winter, you will also need to leave enough room for the socks because you will need to put on a pair of warm thick socks before putting on the boots.

When choosing the fabrics of ankle boots, you need to consider not only the fabric of the surface, but also the fabric of the sole. Common fabrics for the surface include leather, artificial leather, etc. If you mind the harm of real leather ankle boots to wild animals, you can also choose a pair of ankle boots made of artificial leather. Rubber is probably the most common material for sole. However, for the sake of comfort, it’s better to choose ankle boots with softer soles.

For daily wear, ankle boots with no or low heels are more comfortable to wear. On some more formal occasions, ankle boots with medium-height heels of 3-5 cm are the best choice to create a professional image and enhance aura. For high-end dinners, weddings and other grand occasions, you can choose super high heel ankle boots with a height of more than 5 cm. Especially if you are petite, then ankle boots with higher heels will make your legs look longer and the visual effect of figure proportions will be better.

What Tops to Wear with Ankle Boots and Skinny Pants?

Once you have chosen the right skinny pants and the right ankle boots, the outfit of your lower body is already perfect, but we still need to choose the right top to match with them.

A sweater. In the cold autumn and winter seasons, a sweater is of course one of the best choices as a top. You can choose a solid color sweater in beige, white or gray, which looks both casual and elegant. You can also choose an oversized sweater if you want your legs to look slimmer in contrast.

A hoodie. If you want a more cozy and relaxed look, pair a hoodie with a pair of skinny jeans and ankle boots. Alternatively, you can pair a hoodie with a pair of stretchy skinny leggings for a more sporty, dynamic look. For a bold look, it doesn't matter even if the color of the hoodie contrasts with the color of the skinny pants.

A crop top. The choice of a crop top is more suitable for petite ladies. In order to optimize the proportions of your figure and lengthen your legs visually, you can choose high waist skinny pants, wear high-heeled ankle boots, and match them with a crop top. This will also help to raise the waistline, making your legs look longer. Of course, you can't just go out with a crop top in the fall and winter, you will also need a coat.

A slim-fitting knit top. If you are also very confident about the curves of your upper body and want to show them off, or if you want the clothing style of your upper and lower body to be unified, then you can choose a slim-fitting knit top. For a more capable and neater look, tuck the hem of your knit top into the waistband of your skinny pants.

A shirt. Finally, don’t forget this relatively formal commuting outfit! If you prefer a simple style, choose a basic white shirt. If you want your look to be more unique, you can also choose a shirt with ruffles and other elements.
