Arguably the most polarising fashion item of all time, the mere mention of skinny jeans sparks debate. A bold statement, I know, but skinny jeans will always have a place in my wardrobe.
I first wore skinny jeans 20 years ago in the mid 2000s, when I finally gave in to the trend that took over the bell bottoms I lived in through the 90s and was devastated to watch fall out of favour. My short legs and wide hips loved the balance and flattering silhouette flared jeans offered – they are undoubtedly the best jeans for my body type. And the new drain pipe, tight-fitting style was one that, frankly, terrified me.
