Skinny pants
Pants of this style have not gone out of fashion for many seasons. Women and men of almost any age and field of activity have long made it a rule to have at least one pair of such pants in their wardrobe. Skinny trousers have a number of features, in view of which they are not suitable for everyone. But the excitement around them does not subside from this.
Peculiarities
Skinny is a very tight pair of pants. The name of the style comes from the English "skin" - "skin", since such trousers fit the legs, like a second layer of leather. Oddly enough, trousers, which were worn by noble men in the 17th century, served as the prototype of modern skinny. Kings, dignitaries and high-ranking military officials wore tight-fitting trousers made of elk skin for parades. Subsequently, these pants were called leggings.
By the 19th century, fashion had changed, leggings were replaced by leggings - they were much easier to put on and did not cause so much inconvenience. But in the 20th century, this style was remembered, and along with the leggings that are familiar to everyone today, designers began to produce skinny, using other materials, and endowing them with all the features characteristic of trousers - pockets, a zipper, etc.
Skinny appeared in modern times, first in the women's wardrobe. With the passage of time and changes in fashion trends, these trousers have again penetrated into the men's wardrobe. But in general today they are considered more feminine than masculine. Such trousers perfectly demonstrate all the charms of a feminine figure, without exposing it. The only problem with the style is that as much as the skinny emphasizes the dignity of the figure, just as uncompromisingly they demonstrate its flaws.
The fabrics used for sewing skinny are soft and elastic. Most often today, they use stretch denim and various mixed fabrics that stretch well to the figure, but do not form folds.Such trousers are appropriate today in all spheres of life, the main thing is to make the right suit.
Who are they suitable for?
Sadly to note, skinny pants are suitable for girls with an exceptional figure - perfect hips, slender and straight legs, graceful calves. Pants of this style look best on tall women. For owners of more modest stature, only a strong thinness will become the green light for wearing skinny. It's just that slender and short girls can wear such trousers with heels, but only if the calves are not too inflated.
For girls who are too thin, especially if the buttocks are flat, there is a slight limitation: those places where the figure does not look feminine must be masked (for example, with an elongated top) or compensated by creating additional volume in other parts of the silhouette.
All leg muscles should be in good shape, buttocks should be firm and toned. Do not forget that the upper part of the figure should also be in perfect order so that you can wear skinny pants fearlessly. Even a barely protruding tummy is not allowed. If it's summer and you are wearing a T-shirt or sleeveless top with a skinny, then your arms should also be perfect - thin, tucked up, perhaps slightly pumped up (until sexy relief appears).
Only if all of the above conditions are met, you can safely wear jeans or skinny pants. But modern fashion has popularized this type of trousers so much that girls with curvy shapes still tend to get such trousers and wear them, combined with a long top. Let's face it: this is not an option. Today it is fashionable to wear skinny so that the pants are completely visible, that is, their top should be open.
Models
Modern skinny variations differ in several ways.
- The first is material. It can be mixed fabrics that combine natural and synthetic materials. Such fabrics are used for sewing skinny in order to increase their service life, improve practicality. For several years in a row, denim in a variety of variations has been the most popular material for sewing skinny. Thinner or less stretch, for skinny it is always taken elastic and elastic. Although there are quite rigid models, they have zippers at the bottom of the legs to make them easier to put on.
- The second criterion for model varieties is fit.
The waistline of a skinny is:
- classic - this is when the belt of the trousers is approximately at the level of the navel;
- low - the belt is located 3-4 cm below the navel;
- inflated - the top edge of the trousers can rise above the classic waistline by 5-8 cm.
And one more criterion is the length of the leg. In classic skinny pants, the leg reaches to the ankle. But in modern models, a shortened leg is also possible - 7/8 or even 3/4, or, on the contrary, elongated, reaching to the heel. Strongly shortened models visually take away in height, so only tall girls are allowed to wear such skinny.
Popular colors
Since the most demanded material for skinny is denim, then the most popular color scheme follows from here - all shades of denim. White and black colors are also relevant, this is dictated by the general craving for minimalism and simplification of style, not only in clothes, but also in the interior, in art.

In the office with such trousers, you should wear shirts or blouses of a fitted or form-fitting silhouette. Above can be a vest, jacket, jacket or cardigan, but always a shortened one. Shoes for the office need to be selected as closed as possible, even in the summer. Skinny looks equally advantageous both with high heels and with flat-soled shoes - loafers, ballet flats, creepers, etc.

Spectacular images
The youth wave is a mixture of styles in the spirit of eclecticism. Sleek shoes and a rough biker jacket, or sneakers with a classic handbag, or an artificially sloppy teenage outfit are all relevant in everyday looks, and not only for teenagers.
Minimalistic looks are no less effective. Pumps and an oversized chunky-knit sweater to match your shoes - this is how you can go to work or on a date.
The dandy style in the female image has become a classic for a long time. This option will be both strict and gentle at the same time. It's all to blame for the play of contrasts: dark blue jeans oppose a pale blue shirt and a soft cream-colored coat and Oxfords, matched to tone.
With this outfit, you can express all your love for the retro era. The 1970s-style hat and shoes are such a powerful reference to those times that only the width of the legs (skinny, not flared, as was the case then) tells us. That we are in 2016!
Skinny pants are a versatile item that can be perfectly combined with any fashion trends. For example, here is such a coat, which is now at the height of fashion.
