Hi, I'm Brandy Joy Smith, and I'm a wardrobe stylist. Today, we're going to talk about how to wear skinny jeans with a top curvy body shape. What is a top curvy body shape? A top curvy body shape is fuller through the shoulders and bust with a less defined waist, and nice, long, skinny legs. This is Elana. She's our top curvy model. What makes Elana a top curvy model is her fuller bust, less defined waist and long, skinny legs. When dressing a top curvy body in skinny jeans, you want to remember a few things. We need to bring the balance back up to the top because your legs are so long and lean. So, the first thing you need to do is pair your skinny jeans with a darker colored shirt that comes a little bit longer in length. Also, open up your decollette to bring the focal point back up to your chest. Using a darker color on top to minimize your less-defined waist and a lighter color on bottom to emphasize your long legs. Another way to bring the focus back up top is to use a great necklace with a pop of color, or a thick chunky metallic.
