There seem to be two main arguments when it comes to skinny jeans. One is that thick girls cannot wear them (thick=”plus sized”, so I’m going to say over a size 8), I am here to make a rebuttal on both accounts.
My guess is that people who are attracted to girls over a size 8 don’t have a problem seeing them in skinny jeans. Simply ask yourself, “do I not like the way skinny jeans look on thick girls because the jeans don’t look good, or because I’m not interested in seeing curves accentuated in that kind of way?” I think for many, it’s the latter – so we automatically jump to the assumption that thicker girls should wear a different kind of jeans that hide their curves.
So, assuming that little exercise had any impact on you at all, and you’re now able to take an objective look at thick girls in skinny jeans, let’s take a moment to check these women (and their skinny jeans) out in all their glory:

Although I understand that some do not look good in some things, I think it is ridiculous to say plus size women shouldn’t wear skinny jeans. I wear them and I am plus sized and my husband likes them on me. I know plenty of men who enjoy seeing a thick girl in her skinny jeans. I have a friend who is bigger than me and she wears leggings and skinny jeans. When we go out she pulls a lot of men. But just like there are some plus size women who do not look good in skinny jeans there are some smaller women who cannot pull that style off. When I get dressed, my goal is to hide the flaws, make myself look as small as possible and to look good. If you can do this in skinny jeans, it doesn’t matter what size you wear!
I am a plus sized woman, but I do not like skinny jeans. On me, on other plus sized women, OR ON SKINNY GIRLS! Though it does accentuate curves and I’m sure my man would love it if I wore them, I just don’t like them. I mean, yeah, skinny girls without a butt should probably wear them because it makes your behind look HUGE, I have noticed that it accentuates your butt more than anything. But to say that no one should wear them, that’s prejudiced… and rude. But really, I don’t think that anyone looks fantastic in this style of jeans, and I’m not some skinny little thing either, I’m a size 18. So, I don’t think anyone should have the right to tell me what to wear, and I don’t have the right to tell anyone else what to wear.
Personal preference.
Oh for Heaven’s sake! Don’t we have enough “rules” to go by? Plus-sized women should wear whatever we want to! I don’t find them comfortable but if you do – by all means, WEAR them!
Frankly, I can’t believe that’s even a question here….
I do not think it is a matter of size. It depends on the fit. If it flatters you, then wear it.
You know your body and what looks good on you.
everyone is shaped differently. aside from that, if you feel confident and comfortable in them….by all means do it!
There are a lot of plus size women who can look fantastic in skinny jeans. I am thinking of apple and inverted triangle body types who are generally one or two sizes smaller on the bottom than on top. Paired with a long, loose top and high heels, skinny jeans can not only look great on plus size women, but can actually be very flattering!
No, plus size women shouldn’t wear skinny jeans. Skinny jeans to me is like wear a pair of tight fitted jean that is just to tight on the stomach. So I say no way.
I agree with most here, everyone should wear what is flattering to them. Personally, I do not look good in skinny jeans. I have overdeveloped calves and very skinny ankles, and it just creates a look like I am wearing something too small, even tho it is the right size. But if you can carry it off, then by all means WEAR IT!!
It really is all about fit. One woman commented about them being too tight on your tummy. My FAVORITE pair of skinny jeans came from “evans” in the UK. They are a plus size retailer (ships everywhere:) and their jeans are all high waisted. So when I rock my skinny jeans there is no muffin top and my hips and thighs looking fab-u-lous! And I think all the skinny wearing divas pictured on this page look gorgeous. Queen Latifah is especially fly!
I am a proud plus sized girl and I just bought my 1st pair or skinny and I felt great in them! Paired with a cute top and killer stilletoes…I was HAWT and got plenty compliments too! As long as your comfortable and not looking sloppy I say go for it!
