| I just bought a pair of relatively inexpensive red jeans- bright red (I mean, not fire engine red, but not maroon, either). I'm slightly overweight- size 14 and very tall. Can I wear red jeans or is this a categorical no-no for someone my size? |
| You are a 14 and tall. I don't think there really are 'categorical no-nos' for that size. Except, don't wear short skirts with knee socks. Those look better (well, less slutty, frankly) on the ladies without quite so much leg. |
| where? |
| I feel like red jeans are typically for the tall and very thin just because red screams for attention. Depending on how you carry your weight, you could get away with it with the correct top. |
| Go for it. |

Yes if you feel comfortable in it, or is fine to wear. You should do a non matchy top. Like a dark grey, or cream. Red jeans are fine. Pastel jeans are not.

| Do it! Agree with dark gray top. You'll look great! |
| I think you can. |
| No, why call out attention to yourself? Automatic look at her ass. |
| OP here. It's not my ass I'm worried about; it's my stomach. |
Why not pastel for spring? I thought mint and lavender were big? |
|
Go for the jeans - I keep looking at the red jeans on Long Tall Sally and have not committed myself to them yet!
|
That's what I thought too. Tell us, fashion slave! |
| Maybe because pastel colors in general don't really hide lumps well? |
