Are Skinny Jeans for You?

Like their name suggests, skinny jeans are one of the latest creations of many designers and differ from regular jeans because the pant legs are really meant for skinny legs. This is why not everyone can wear women’s clothing like skinny jeans.If you are a plus size woman for example you may find it very hard to find jeans like this in your size. You may however find teens who are mad about this fashion trend fortunately for them most healthy teenage girls are really fashion-model slim so they can easily find jeans like this in their size.

Another factor that may dissuade some women from using skinny jeans is that these denim pants come in a wide variety of colors as well. If you are not comfortable wearing jeans that are purple, for example, then perhaps you should look for the traditional types of jeans that are available in black or blue only. For some women, colored jeans are just the thing they are looking for to avoid looking just like everybody else in the conservative denim universe. You have to know how to mix and match women’s clothing with your jeans though for this to work.

It is actually quite easy to find retailers that sell skinny jeans. The more established denim wear companies like Levi’s do offer their own interpretation of this slim fit trousers which makes it easier for shoppers looking for such denim jeans. You can go online as well to look for retailers who are willing to sell slim fit jeans to online shoppers. The advantage with having so many retail options when shopping for these jeans is that you get to pick and choose the denim trousers that suit your body type and waist size.

One problem though that you might encounter despite the wealth of choices is that your legs might not be skinny enough to fit into the legs of these jeans. You might have a slim waist size but your legs might look pretty bulky or hammy so you might still find it hard to fit into skinny jeans. You might be surprised how many women face this problem. It can be frustrating for such women to get slim fit jeans that are both flattering and fit comfortably because of this anatomical dilemma. You might have to give up on the idea of finding skinny jeans that will fit you as a result.

Incidentally, skinny trousers are not the domain of female consumers alone. There are now skinny jeans made for men as well, with some differences from the female version as far as the crotch, butt and leg measurements are concerned. Some men are skinny enough to fit into the women’s version of these jeans while others may be too muscular to use jeans meant for women. Because of this, a male shopper may have to look for a retailer who knows men’s anatomy well enough to come up with the right men’s jeans that are slim fit and comfortable to wear.

One way out of this dilemma is for men to look for tailors that can make customized skinny trousers. The advantage with this is that men will know that these jeans will definitely fit, especially if the male shopper has a hard time finding off-the-rack skinny trousers that are really suitable and comfortable. You might have to pay a bit more for customized jeans but it may well be worth it if you try to put on the finished product. You would need a tailor who is very skilled in working with denim for this kind of job order.

Still, skinny jeans are definitely more associated with women’s clothing than men’s wear at the moment. This is because designers seem to favor manufacture of women’s clothing than men’s clothing for some reason. It could be that women’s clothing is more of a challenge to design and make. Or maybe designers think that more women buy designer attire under the women’s clothing category than in the men’s apparel department. Whatever the reasons are, skinny jeans are definitely here to stay so you may want to start searching for this kind of jeans for your own wardrobe.

How to Become A Model

Many people dream of having a modeling career- livings as a high profile symbol of beauty and enjoying a life of excitement, fame and luxury while earning a great deal of money.

If you are one of those seeking out this career, there is one thing that you should never forget-behind the glamor, glitz and high income lies the reality that this field is challenging, highly competitive and relatively restrictive with regards to acceptable physical characteristics even though this is slowly changing.

In the not too distant past, only a narrow range of people were deemed model quality, which meant being tall, thin and angular, presenting body types and images of beauty attainable by only a narrow segment of the populace. For those considering modeling, today's industry portrays a much wider diversity of body types and widening standards of what is considered beautiful opening doors to people who would have never had a chance in this career years ago.

Healthy Appearance, Features and Symmetry

Regardless of your body type and modeling aspirations, there are certain characteristics all models should bring to the table. Perhaps the most important is being healthy or giving the appearance of health. Height, weight, complexion and hair quality, head to toe body symmetry and other subtle subjective features are taken into consideration.

Types of Modeling

Catwalks Models are perhaps the highest profile models, displaying fashions while strutting along catwalks in high heels amongst the glare of flashing cameras. Body types most successful in this category are tall (over 5"8),thin and small to moderate breast sizes.Glamorous and lucrative as field, it is also very grueling and demanding.

Underwear models can be of varying sizes, yet generally tend to have larger breasts and slender hips. However, more and more plus sized people are being seen in today's fashion magazines, so don't be discouraged if you are not stick-thin and small breasted.

Plus sized models reflect the growing number of curvaceous and fuller bodied people who have been made to feel less than beautiful in the full range of desired traits, don't give up on your modeling career dreams. There is a robust field of modeling involving body parts, hands, feet, and hair as well as other body features such as eyes, ears, etc.

Head Shots, Body Shots and Comp Cards

Agencies will insist you provide them with pictures of yourself in order for them to judge your modeling potential for the truth is, the camera does not favor everyone, and the camera doesn't lie. Depending on your body type and photogenic characteristics, the camera can actually add weight to your appearance. Head shots and composition cards which are a collection of different shots on one page, are also required at auditions and should always be near at hand in case they are requested. Recommendation: invest in a professional photographer and shun snap shots, even if agencies say snap shots are acceptable. Generally, one good booking will more than pay for the cost of a professional shoot and head shot printing.

So what else can you do? Research reputable modeling agencies. The key word here is reputable. There are many businesses advertising as modeling agencies that are in truth nothing more than scams seeking income streams from the uninformed via offers of expensive, never ending modeling classes and other too good to be true promises. Reputable agencies never charge you a fee for representation, their income comes from you booking you - wherein they withdraw anywhere from a 7-15 percent fee. If you want to take classes, ask your agency where to take proven classes.

Be professional. Whether the project is large or small in scale, if you are wanted for an audition or are booked both client and agency have invested time and money in you and expect you to perform. This means always being punctual, arriving prepared if there is no makeup artist involved, knowing your lines and not causing problems. Perhaps the most important trait you possess other than physical characteristics is your reputation which once damaged can almost never be prepared.

These five areas of consideration will help you better define your modeling aspiration and provide guidance in realization of your modeling career goals. There is a lot of information we have not covered here, so please do more research before entering this career or any other.

Dreaming of being a model? Go for it. Contemporary models reflect a range of sizes, heights, skin and hair colors and there is every expectation that diversity in the modeling field will continue expanding. Therefore never fret, that you aren't that thin super model type; with hard work, determination and a bit of luck, you never know how far you can go in your dream of being a model.
