Just when you though you'd mastered the skinny jean, along comes another fashion trend for you to tackle. A celebrity favorite, women's wide leg jeans have been spotted on stars like Jessica Alba, Rachel Bilson and Rihanna. So are you ready to conquer this look? Here are some things to keep in mind.

• Know your body type - For the most flattering fit, the key is choosing the right pair for your frame. If you are tall, you can get away with the extra wide styles. If you are petite, a wider leg will look too overwhelming. For this body type, it is best to stick to a more modest leg with a subtle flare. For those who are pear shaped, choose a pair that flare out just below the knees. This will help balance out curvy hips. Best styles to try are Seven For All Mankind Ginger or Dojo, Paige Bundy or Robertson and Hudson Deluxe or Farrah.
• It's all about balance - Wearing a wide top with women's wide leg jeans will just make you look wide all over. Instead, pair this look with a long, slim-fitting top that's preferably tucked in. An untucked top can also have an overall thickening effect on your figure. If however, you choose not to tuck in your shirt, you can offset the volume of wide legged jeans by picking a shorter, slightly loose top.
• Pick a color - Black clothing is visually slimming and it can do the same for your wide leg jeans. A dark wash will help give you a long and lean look. To create a slimmer looking silhouette, you can always go with black, but indigo and chocolate brown will additionally do the trick.
• Define your waist - If you are going to master women's wide leg jeans, you must accessorize with a belt. This will prevent your waistline from getting lost amid the folds of fabric. Pick a wide cinch belt to showcase your middle. You can also tuck in your shirt all the way and pair it with a thin gold or silver belt.
• Wear the right shoes - It's very important that you pick the right shoes to go with your wide legs. If you are petite, top it off with wedges or any type of heels (ankle boots are great.) This will lengthen your legs and make you appear taller. If you are tall, wear flats, sandals or even wedges. The trick is to make sure your hems just skim the floor when you have your shoes on.

This style can look flattering on anyone. If you're tired of squeezing into skinny jeans, let your legs breathe a little and slip into a pair of women's wide leg jeans. Not only will they look longer in these babies, they'll thank you for the extra room!

The History of Pin-up

Theda Bara. Dorothy Lamour. Betty Grable. Jean Harlow. Vivien Leigh. Greta Garbo. Elizabeth Taylor. Jayne Mansfield. Twiggy. Farrah Fawcett. And, of course, the magnificent Marilyn Monroe.

They came from different eras, from 1910 until the 1960’s. They were beautiful, alluring, and represented the “ultimate woman.” Pin-up girls were posters that represented every man’s dream of the perfect woman! These pin-ups graced the lockers of high school boys, calendars, and the American soldiers of World War II’s bunk rooms. Far from home, the G.I.’s treasured pin-up girl posters; they gave the soldiers something beautiful and sexy to see instead of their all-male comrades, not to mention the misery and graphic violence of war. Army Air Corps pilots, who risked their lives every day, developed “nose art” that was beautifully painted upon the outside cockpit of their fighter, bomber or cargo airlift planes. In addition to stunning depictions of fierce, snarling animals like tigers, eagles and sharks, pin-up girls frequently graced the noses of U.S. aircraft. And in 1941, test pilot Chuck Yeager first broke the sound barrier in a jet he decorated with a gorgeous pin-up of his wife, naming the plane “Glamorous Glynnis.”

In 1947, the Army Air Corps officially became the United States Air Force. Nose art, especially that of vintage pin-up girls, continued to grace the outside cock pits of the best and fastest aircraft in the world. But times change, as does “political correctness.” Thirty years later, in the beginnings of awareness of the sexual harassment and exploitation of women, nose art was officially banned by the USAF, and this pin-up art vanished forever. It’s only seen now in museums depicting the lives of servicemen in ages gone by.

Several sources cite the top three pin-up girls as Betty Grable posing provocatively in a one-piece bathing suit, Marilyn Monroe’s revealing skirt “blow up” from The Seven Year Itch, and Farrah Fawcett as she appeared in TV’s “Charlie’s Angels.” But it doesn’t end with the beautiful and sensual pin-up girls; the past decade has given us pin-up men as well! Handsome heartthrobs Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt and Fabio adorn the walls of many a teenage girl’s bedroom. Also popular in modern pin-up art are rock singers Ozzy Osbourne, Zakk Wylde, Steven Tyler, and the enormously popular cross-over group, the Trans-Siberian Orchestra.

Pin-up art reached its heyday during World War II, and art experts say that it will never quite be the same again. During this time, every female star in Hollywood had aspirations of becoming a popular pin-up art subject; this was part of their formula to successful movie careers. Today you can find vintage pin-ups on the Internet that are of fine quality and evoke memories of days long gone.
