ha ha! I agree.
Nancy, it's the visual effect that's flattering. I am pear shaped and I know what you mean. When the pant is skinnier on the bottom then the top part of the leg looks bigger, but when it has a flare it balances out the shape.
Well, my final thoughts on the matter are these...
When something is in fashion I always think if someone takes a picture of me wearing THAT and I see it years later would I feel embarrassed? If the answer is yes then I don't wear it. :+
I have a pair of Gap 1969 skinny jeans that I love! I'm long-waisted, and these are the only skinny jeans I've found that aren't indecently low-cut on me.
