Re: Can you wear skinny jeans if you are overweight?
I think it really depends on your shape- no matter how overweight/under weight you are. I could never wear them with flats, I would look too stubby- but I think during my prepreg days (size 8) I could pull them off with some high boots.

Re: Can you wear skinny jeans if you are overweight?
i think it has more to do with your body shape than size, it you are largeer in the thighs it looks disproportionate, not to say you can't wear them then but i personally think they look better when you are more even overall,
and i don't wear them but i am pretty even all over

ITA!
I used to think there should be a law about who should be able to wear skinny jeans (me, not being one of them  ). But, i found ones that had the right fit. They don't look amazing on me, but look much neater when i wear them with my Uggs (that's the main reason i got them) than any of my other jeans.
My sister is overweight and told me i was on crack when i gave her a pair to try on- they look AWESOME on her. SOOOO much nicer than all of her boot cut jeans, and they really make her look so much thinner.
I've also seen super skinny girls wear them- women that had no hips... i felt like i was looking at a 7 year old boy- it did nothing to help them. I really think it depends on your body style and the exact fit of the pant more than anything.

Re: Can you wear skinny jeans if you are overweight?
Yes you can...just don't get low waisted ones (mid rise is best) and wear with a long sweater or top. I'm on the heavier side and wear them with long sweaters, shirts and high boots or Uggs. I would never attempt to wear them with a shirt thats hits my waist or is short..JMO
ETA: I also agree with the PP...it depends alot on your shape.

i think it depends how you carry your weight. I'm heaviest on top (the chest, gut, etc). My hips and thighs are NOT at all my largest part, and I've actually gotten compliments when I wear my NY&Co skinny jeans. The waist is high enough that there's no muffin top, no underwear hanging out, and they're comfortable.
I also think it depends on the cut of the top of the jean, too. skinny or straight leg jeans run the risk of looking like mom-jeans if the rise is too high!!!
ITA with Nic here. If you tend to carry a lot in your legs and hips, absolutely not, they will look hideous.
I have a pair that hides my disgusting post partum muffin top and I get compliments. If they are low rise, I walk away. My weight is also not in my legs.
This is definitely a trend that IMO is not very forgiving. I try to stick with straight or boot cut.

ITA this is the only way i'll wear them and the only way i think they look cute whether your a size 0 or 16. i just don't like them when they are worn without a longer top/boots.

Re: Can you wear skinny jeans if you are overweight?
I carry all my weight in my belly and waist so I will wear them as long as they are not low rise. My bottom half is the nicer side of me.

Re: Can you wear skinny jeans if you are overweight?
I wear them and I could give a fluck about what Tom, Richard or Harry think. I'm comfortable and I wear them so that I don't look ridiculous. I like the Old Navy ones because they are high wasted. I love my jeggings by Mossimo too.
I have all my weight in my stomach/thigh/hip area and my calves and ankles are skinny.
I know I'm not a size 4-I'm not stupid. But when you're "bigger" it's hard to find jeans that can fit in boots.
My theory-if a skinny jean fits, wear it.

Re: Can you wear skinny jeans if you are overweight?
I thought i was too big for them until I tried them on in a few stores and found a pair that fit me perfectly. I feel great in them and with the right boots and top I think I look good and so does my dh
