I know skinny jeans are fashionable and make for some great outfits. Paired with boots and a baggy top and one can look pretty good. Despite the trend however, I have avoided trying any on. Convinced by years of repeated attempts to find jeans that fit and flatter my body shape I believed there is no way a skinny jean will fit.

But you don’t know for sure until you try some on.

Here’s the data on my attempts: 0 out of 2. I know I should probably go for a third data point but the entire experience was punishing enough that I will not be doing that again.

My legs are not built for skinny jeans and that is okay.
