A "Distressing" Myth
Myth 3: Distressing always makes you look thinner.
Oprah learned this lesson the hard way. Her old jeans are distressed along the leg, which Stacy says creates a "spotlight" on her thighs. "Unfortunately, in the wrong place, whiskering, bleaching or distressing can actually accent a wide hip, a larger booty or a heavier thigh," Stacy says.
Distressed jeans also look more casual than darker denim, Stacy says. She suggests dark-wash jeans paired with heels and a sequined top for a great evening look!
