How to Wear Tight Jeans

Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Mitra Chester, and we're at Deluxe Resale Shop in Eugene, Oregon, and I'm going to talk to you today about how to wear tight jeans. Tight jeans are great, they show off your shape, the skinny jeans that are pretty popular right now are pretty much tight all over, but there is definitely an example of "too tight". So I'm going to talk about the difference between successfully wearing tight jeans and wearing jeans that are too tight. So you want to make sure that basically things are fitted correctly most everywhere. Length should be basically to the ankle unless you want to cuff them, they can be a little bit longer. They should have a little bit of give in the crotch, just some wrinkles here, and definitely some in this area as well. But the problems you run into if things are too tight, we'll start from the top, are initially "muffin tops" which is excess skin bulging over the waistband. And that can be fixed by getting some jeans that have a little bit of stretch to them or finding some where the waistband is going to hit you a little lower on your body or a little higher so that they don't create this problem. As you can also see the difference between the segue between the butt and the thigh here, pretty much it's kind of free of wrinkles, or the wrinkles are filled up with skin, versus kind of some room here where there's some actual room to like bend over. And the crotch is the same area, there looks like there should be some natural kind of wrinkling in the fabric going on here, but these are a little bit too tight so it looks a little bit awkward. And throughout the basic thigh, the contrast between the thigh and the fit in the calves is a little awkward because they're too tight in the thigh. For skinny jeans, there may be varying opinions on whether they can be too tight in the calves, but it's kind of a matter of your personal style and what you feel comfortable pulling off. So definitely rock the tight jeans, you can wear them kind of as leggings with tunics or dresses over the top. You can wear them with tight tops or with longer things with a waist or hip belt. Casual or dressy, definitely sports them with some heels or boots over the top, those are fantastic ways to wear tight jeans. But definitely keep in mind that you want something to fit you correctly even if it's going to be looking tight. And if you wear something with confidence and feel comfortable in your own clothing, you can pull off a lot of things, so good luck!"
