Natasha Styling Skinny Jeans | Guest Post

Hello there, ladies! My name is Natasha and I blog over at What I Wear, What I Do And Why I Did It-otherwise known as "A Modest Fashion Blog."

I'm excited to post today on Ashley's blog, she was one of the first blogs I followed years ago.

A slightly controversial subject amongst modest fashion bloggers is the subject of pants. Some will not agree with me that pants CAN be modest (though not 100% of the time). And that's okay! Everyone's entitled to their opinion, even me.

Here I'm styling skinny jeans. I don't wear skinny jeans often, mainly because they don't look good on me. However, this outfit is an exception. With tunics, such as the one I'm wearing, look best paired with very fitted pants. Baggy pants would look sloppy in this instance. A bonus? A long tunic covers your rear end, which would normally be emphasized too much in tighter pants. I opted for my Keen boots and a splash of color from my beanie.

I curled my hair using the headband curl technique (tutorial here).

And here's my top five tips for wearing pants:
1. Make sure your pants fit, too tight, too loose, either is an issue.
2. If your pants are a bit too tight, a long shirt/tunic is a great option.
3. Try to pair jeans with feminine shirts or jackets.
4. Pairing a loose shirt with jeans gives you a more polished look.
5. Skinny jeans work best for tucking into boots-bell bottoms/wide legs usually have too much fabric to tuck in, causing sloppy look.
