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!
