Skinny jeans are one of fashion’s up to the minute trends, which a large number of women find irresistible. Skinny jeans are versatile and can make a classy fashion statement if paired well. One can pull off the look on a date night, over the weekend and if done well, skinny jeans can also be transitioned to office wear.

The good thing about skinny jeans is that one can look more presentable in them if toned well with a right top, shoes, handbag or a jacket. Regadless of size, height and shape anyone can pull off a tremendous look in skinny jeans.

Vanessa Mukashema, a designer in Gikondo market, says skinny jeans are more comfortable than any other type of demin jeans, and that there are various ways one can look great in them, depending on occasion at hand, and again, one can look trendy if they pair them well.

"Dirty skinny jeans go well with a black fitting jacket, and to make a statement, you can finish the look with a black or grey clutch. When you choose dark blue, accessorize it with a red purse since primary colors go well together. Go for a long top if you are going for a night out and a presentable top for work.” she says.

Loice Uwase, a boutique vendor at Remera, says the secret on how to rock with skinny jeans depends on ones choice and how comfortable the person is in them.

"One can look fashionable in skinny jeans if you pair them well with heels that are not too high. I won’t advice anyone to put on heels if she is already tall, opt for flat sandals like supra or sneakers as they can still dress up your look in skinny jeans.” she says.

She also adds that, one should go for skinny jeans that are able to reach the toe to avoid going wrong with the choice of the shoes.

"Always shop for longer enough jeans that can reach your angle so that when it comes to picking the shoes to wear, you don’t go off the style. If you decide to go for three quarter skinny jeans, then pair it with long flat or raised boots because they also bring out trendy look.” says Uwase.

Ysolde Shimwe, 22 young upcoming designer at Kigali Market, says one can look gorgeous in skinny jeans with a bitenge blazer.

"Skinny jeans can also be worn with a nice bitenge coat, it does not necessarily need to be full material of it, but a good designer might decide to use another piece of cloth and then finish it with the bitenge material by putting it on the color and at the edge of the coats hands, this look  with a nice jeans is unique and elegant.” she says.
