So I'm bored on a Saturday night and can't sleep and I was pretty happy with the way I looked today and got to thinking about this forum and how many times I've seen skinny jeans brought up when talking about clothing. I know some of you are afraid to rock the skinny jeans because of the hip factor. So I put together this little complication (and do excuse that they're all technically crotch shots lol - I just cropped them and focused on the hips part!) as a kind of "how to rock skinny jeans and minimize your hips". I may do some other "how to's" if anyone finds this remotely helpful ... or funny ... lol.
#1 - I call this the "put ->-bleeped-<- in your pockets" technique. This works best with a cell phone in my opinion. The cell phone will stick out and basically hide the curve of your hip. When I'm out and about I often combine this with #3 (on the opposite side) just to add something on the other side.
#2 - The "hands in the pockets" technique. You can either put a hand in there or hook your thumb in there while you're just standing around. Total camouflage.
#3 - The "Carabiner off the belt (or belt loop)" technique. Works the same way as #1 in that is just adds something there to camo the curve.
#4 - The "emo belt" technique. This is one I rarely employ but it does work. Take the belt out of the loops (or you can leave it in the center loop in the back) and swing it around the side. I've seen some people actually do two belts as well.
#5 - The "stance" technique. Probably one of my personal favs. If you lean on one leg and put the other slightly out it can really create optical illusion wonders. Try it yourself in a mirror.
