Skinny jeans

What are skinny jeans?

Those who know first-hand modern fashion and know a little English can guess that "Skinny" means "Skinny". This is the name that characterizes the type of tight jeans worn by men and women.

They can sit tightly on the thighs and calves, tapering downward. Such models were preferred by women, but in modern fashion the stronger sex also does not mind showing off in skinny ones.

Who suits skinny jeans?

Such a piece of clothing will fit perfectly on a slender figure. The choice is influenced by height and physique.

Owner's build

Full legs and hips will be very tight, so overweight people should not wear skinny pants. Any shoe fits, so this style is very popular among young and middle-aged people.

Jeans are also not suitable for too thin girls. They will only unnecessarily emphasize thin legs. If skinnies do not hug your figure too closely, you can safely choose them for everyday wear.

For a rectangular body type, high-waisted items are suitable. It is best to choose basic colors, without bright accents.

To visually lengthen your legs, you should buy products slightly longer than the height of your legs in order to pull the pant legs over the heels of the shoes.

To increase the volume of the buttocks, purchase products with stripes or pockets.

Height

Depending on the figure, jeans are divided into:

• tall;
• low owners.

Light-colored products visually increase volume, so they are preferable to buy for thin men and women of short stature. Tall fashionistas should not wear skinnies, as they visually lengthen their legs.

What fabric are the comfortable skinnies made from?

Mostly denim is used to make skinny trousers. This material is a thick cotton fabric with various weaves of threads.

Skinny pants made from denim are considered the most durable and practical trousers. To enhance the tight-fitting properties, it is customary to add lycra or elastane to the material. This fabric is usually called “Stretch”.

What to wear with skinny jeans?

Denim skinny pants are currently popular due to their versatility and practicality. There are many options for combining skinny jeans with other clothes:

• The jacket is elongated. This wardrobe option is suitable for a working and informal atmosphere. Blouses, shirts, and closed-toe shoes are suitable for a work environment. For a party, wear a top or T-shirt, shoes or sandals under the jacket.
• Suitable outerwear: leather jackets, coats, raincoats.
• High neck sweater, short cropped cardigans.
• Shoes: sneakers, ballet flats, high heels and stilettos, boots and ankle boots.

Thus, rebellious teenagers, students and business people can also be seen wearing tight-fitting trousers on the street. Thanks to “Skinny”, the style can be chosen in any way: from grunge to glamor.

How to properly care for jeans?

There are many nuances on how to preserve denim for a long time. Due to the production technology - dyeing only the outside of the denim material, it quickly loses its original color after washing. In addition, improper care quickly makes things unusable, so washing, drying and ironing must be done according to the rules.

Wash

Denim is a very strong and durable material, but frequent washing damages its structure. Jeans lose their shape and become stiff when touched. They may fade or lose color. To avoid such troubles, there are several ways to maintain the external type of denim trousers without frequent washing:

• surface contamination is removed with a damp sponge;
• for steaming, you should hang jeans in the bathroom while taking a shower;
• Do not wash in washing machine.

To avoid damaging the fabric, hand wash in the bathroom using the following recommendations:

• before work, you must turn the product inside out;
• use washing powder for hand washing;
• the water should be no more than 30 degrees, the same condition applies to the washing machine mode;
• Do not pre-soak and wash too often (recommended only after the fifth wear);
• Do not wring out after washing, hang dry in the bathtub by the pant legs.

Ironing

If the product is dried correctly, then it is usually not ironed after washing, especially “Skinny”, which, without ironing, fits the legs so that minor bruising on them is unnoticeable.

If you decide to iron your jeans, you should remember that this type of fabric is ironed from the wrong side, at a low iron temperature. It is advisable that the item be a little damp.

Refrigerator instead of washing machine

Instead of water, you can try an unusual way to remove contaminants - freezing. This method of fighting dirt allows you to clean your skinnies and refresh them. Thus, they will not lose their appearance and will look like new.

Cleaning steps:

• Before exposing an item to sub-zero temperatures, you should clean the item with a damp cloth.
• To preserve the color, you need to spray the denim with a small vinegar solution. The essence kills pathogenic bacteria and eliminates odor.
• Dry the trousers by shaking them thoroughly first.
• Turn the product inside out and carefully place it in a plastic bag. Close the bag very tightly so that there is no air in it.
• Place in the freezer for a day.

After the activities have been completed, the item must be dried. This method is ideal for new products that have been accidentally contaminated with stubborn dirt. This is often done if chewing gum sticks to the fabric. When exposed to low temperatures, it can be easily removed without damaging the fabric.

Conclusion

Whatever the fashion and its recommendations, you should always rely on common sense. If tight jeans make your figure unattractive and highlight its flaws, you should not blindly succumb to the tricks of sellers. Fashionable is not always beautiful. It is better to buy something that really suits the build and its practical characteristics.
