The Misconception of “Skinny Jeans”


In a recent issue of InStyle magazine there was an article called “6 Reasons to Get Excited About Jeans”. Out of all these reasons there was one that I had to share with you.

“Reason: Skinny; One common misconception when it comes to slender cuts: You have to have dimensions approximating a toothpick to look good in them. In fact, "skinny" refers to the leg opening, not to the body that should go in it. The rules for a perfect fit are universal. "You always want a pair that's flat around the tummy, has the right amount of stretch, and just enough give at the knee—with no sagging," says Victoria Beckham, creator of DVB Denim.”

Premium denim designers know that everyone is not shaped like a NYC runway model. No matter where you wear your curves there is a brand out there for you and each designer makers several different fits in their skinny jeans.

If you like a higher rise, or are sporting some extra curves around the butt and hips try:





If you are petite or need a bit of a butt lift try:

If you have trouble with skinny jeans fitting in the calves try:

These are just a few of the skinny jean styles we have at Hand In Pocket right now. No matter what body type you have just come on by the store. We will get you into a pair of skinny jeans made just for you.
