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:

Joes Jeans Skinny Visionaire in Aniston ($165) 1st picture below.
J Brand, Blue Label, Scarlett Fit in Dark Vintage ($160) 2nd picture below.

If you are petite or need a bit of a butt lift try:
Hudson Super Skinny in Trigger ($176) pictured below.

Hudson Skinny Leg in Blizzard ($187) our latest arrival not yet pictured.

If you have trouble with skinny jeans fitting in the calves try:
William Rast Sadie Straight Leg ($209) pictured below.

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.

NY Fashion Week

I just found out that on February 16th William Rast will be making its first appearance under the infamous big white tent in Bryant Park. For those of you that don’t already know William Rast is one of the many denim lines we carry here at HIP and the designers behind the brand are none other then Justin Timberlake and his good friend Trace Ayala. Showing at Bryant Park during NY fashion week is a great accomplishment for both of them! I have personally been a fan since the line first launched a few years ago. Their jeans have the coolest pockets and they will defiantly bring your sexy back. Did I mention that they are really comfy too?
