Skinny Jeans

The Skinny Jean is the entire ring! It’s hard to wear but you know what they say: “No Pain, No Gain“. It’s here, it’s there, and it’s all over the place! Suddenly Americans are seeing Shinnies in every store. Almost all denim brands offer at least one version of a skinny, cigarette, or super straight. There are other jeans out there, but these are the ones that are on the top of everyone’s list. Stores are pushing the new look, and everyone from skinny jeans fashion editors to bloggers are writing about this new trend.

It sure sounded familiar to us and, desperate for a pair of super-slimming blue jeans, decided to do something about it! So we started SkinnyJeans and tackled every possible way to make blue jeans more slimming and flattering:

• First, Skinny Jeans are made from classic denim but with high nylon/elastane content. This denim is made wholly for Skinny Jeans. This gives them a ‘beefy’ strength to hold you in (no wimpy, gummy stretch here) and creates ‘Memory’—it sucks everything in and never sags, bags or grows by the end of the day. (You will not have to wash them every time you wear them!)

• Second, the thighs are very ‘scooped’ out which drastically separates and slims the thighs and pushes the butt out creating a shapely outline.

• Third, the inseams are drawn forward on the leg making it appear that there is less ‘real estate’ on the front of the leg.

• Fourth, the inside non-stretch cotton pocketing lining the front pockets is sewn into the front seam so when the jeans are zipped up a warning panel is created that pushes the entire stomach area in.

• Fifth, the fading and shading pattern on the jeans creates an optical illusion front and back to slim the leg. The inside and outside seams are darkened to make the thighs appear slimmer. The sides of the hips are darker so the hips appear narrower. The buttocks are faded slightly but darker on the hip seams and at the top of the thighs creating ‘shape’ and making the back of the legs look slimmer. The front of the leg is slightly faded down the middle making the leg appear longer. Furthermore, barely-visible whiskering above the natural leg break tricks the eye into seeing longer legs (as opposed to most jeans with patterns that make the hips look wider and thighs bigger!

• Sixth, the cut is a ‘barely boot cut’ – this balances the shape of the thigh to the ankle making your thighs appear as slim as possible and legs as long as possible.

• Seventh, the size, shape and placement of the pockets are solely to make the butt appear smaller and shapelier. There is no ‘junk’ on the pockets; no designs that make the butt appear droopy or wide, or placement of the pocket so low on the thigh that it shortens the leg or pockets so small they make the butt look huge in contrast.

• Eighth, Skinny Jeans have a medium rise with contoured stretch waistband – no muffin-top spillover, no plumber’s cleavage, no previously nonexistent potbelly!

• Finally, the high-waters have receded – Skinny Jeans come in inseams to 37”!! And because the Skinny design is so productively slimming, we make Skinny Jeans in sizes 24-32 and 34, 36, and 38.
