Skinny jeans vs tights

As far as I can see, skinny jeans have three drawbacks:

• They don't show the shape of the leg well - all those denim folds

Jeans couldn't show the wonderful shape of her legs - Cool boots too

• Even if you can get your skinny jeans smooth, they just don't look so feminine.  They look like well jeans.  Jeans - cowboy - macho.  Not a sexy look.  And skinny jeans that are so tight and thin they look like opaque tights.  Well better to have the nice silky look of real opaques.

Bet she wouldn't have got a snog in trousers.  Socks under tights Hummmm

 They are a nuisance to get into your boots.  You need boots too big or have to fight with them.

Would they get their jeans in those boots?

OK, I know they are warmer.  Here are some ways of getting warmth without the skinny jeans.

• Go for thicker tights.  60, 80 ,100 denier.  Even woolly tights show off the shape of the leg better.  Although they don't give that smooth look.  Although with the other advice you may be able to wear something a little more sheer.

Not bad - wool and silk.  But IMHO you can't beat nylon and Lycra

• Wear shorts, or better longer shorts to keep the tops of your legs warm.  Even a mid-calf skirt is good  -its the layer of trapped air insulation.

Knee length shorts can provide warmth and a flash of leg!

• Wear boots top keep your lower legs warm.  You could even go for long socks inside the boots.  I'm not a great fan of socks with boots.  But peeping over the top of boots they can look cool - sort of casual but in deliberate way.  And if you have to take your boots off, socks with tights can give an kind of schoolgirl sexiness.
