The Tweens' Guide to Wearing Skinny Jeans

Thursday August 17, 2006
They are everywhere this year, the skinny jeans. Skinny jeans are the jeans for Back to School 2006. Girls all over America are crazy over these fashionable duds. But, just thinking about tight jeans makes some parents cringe. Well, don't worry, skinny jeans can look super on girls as well as age appropriate.

  • Choose a pair of skinny jeans that are comfortable. They should have a good amount of stretch in them, have a modest rise and be easy to zip.
  • Dark washed skinny jeans look the best and are the most popular.
  • Pair her skinny jeans up with a modest top. Longer tees are really hot this year and look super matched up with a pair of skinny jeans. Also, long sleeved tees, high neck or crew neck tops, layered tees and blazers all look fab over a pair of skinny jeans.
  • When choosing shoes to go with her skinny jeans, choose super-flat ones. Ballet flats are the most popular choice and look fabulous when paired with a pair of cuffed skinny jeans. Or, in cooler months, go with a totally trendy pair of flat-heeled ankle boots.
  • If skinny jeans just aren't her thing, there are plenty of other options out there in the world of fashionable jeans. Let her choose the cut and style that is right for her and encourage her to follow trends that suit her and ignore the ones that don't.

Where can you find cheap skinny jeans? Every pair is $20 at the cheapest but I have to pay for my own clothes buy myself. It takes a little less than a month to come up with that kind of money. HELP!
