There are casualties in all crusades, the quest for perfection is no exception to the rule. Recently, news regarding a girl collapsing due to lack of blood circulation was flooding newsfeeds worldover. The culprit? A pair of skinny jeans.
Here are some precautionary measures to take when your trusty pair strangulates you:
Lesson 1: When trying on a pair of jeans in a store, sit on that little stool in the corner. Is it painful? Take 'em off. Muffin top syndrome is as bad as rhabdomyolysis (Google it, it's a real thing). Don't give jeans a bad name because your pride won't allow you to buy a bigger size.
Lesson 2: Don't resemble a catalogue model in a pair of skinny jeans? Who said you had to? There are tons of shapes and cuts to try. Why follow the cult? Headline in something unique and make your own statement.
Lesson 3: Trousers do not equate jeans. Palazzos, cropped trousers and culottes are all equally flattering. Give up the obsession with clothes that look painted on and wear something that fits and doesn't obstruct motion.
Lesson 4: Dress for the occasion. You are not a Kardashian; you do not have a camera crew following you. If your day involves strenous physical activity, go with shorts or sweatpants. Activewear was made for a reason.
Lesson 5: If we still can't dissuade you to walk away from your beloved skinnies, try a workout. Not only will it help you get in shape, but it will also increase your stamina and blood flow. In the long run (what if you actually need to run?), you will make it through without collapsing.
Most importantly, the key is to remember that smaller clothes will not change your size. Celebrate your shape and wear what works for you. Clothes are inanimate; they do not control your life.
