Skinny Jeans: forever young?

Constantly an item used on the catwalk, these babies always seem to help us in a time of distress. As the decades have moved on the 'skinny jean' is forever being reinvented with tie dye, capri and the inevitable white denim. Levi Strauss never quite realised how fashionable his invention would become as skinny jeans weren't for the catwalks of Stella McCartney, they were for workmen. A comfy alternative to their usual linen trousers. Now, skinny jeans are plastered all over the catwalk and never seem to go out of fashion. Why?


1) Versatility. If ripped 'boyfriend' jeans or bejazzled Juicy Couture pairs aren't your calling, there is always the trusty pristine navy jeans. Designers never run out of things to do with jeans which seems apparent when referring to Vivienne Westwood's delightful Anglomania jeans in an appealing shiny feces shade. Then, 2) Versatility. Oh yes, again. In a rush? Can't think of something to wear? Bought a new top but no new trousers? It doesn't matter. The life-saving skinny jean is what everybody reaches for when dashing to that essential office party. It is simple enough to make the new top look amazing but then if the jeans are the main feature, you can be assured that your bum will look fantastic. 3) Versatility. So Willow Smith can 'whip her hair' and wear jewels on her lips but she will always look cute in a pair of jeans. She is small and young and if she wears skinny jeans she will look even cuter so why not wear them as she is trying to get a number 1 at the age of 10. Women like Cheryl Cole can wear them, Models like Naomi Campbell can wear them and babes like Twiggy can still pull them off so anybody of any age can pull off these babies. 4) Fat holder. So, despite knowing that you shouldn't, that cream cake just looked too lonely to be left on the plate and it was calling out to be eaten et voila! Cellulite appears. Well again, the skinny jean jumps up like a denim superman and saves the situation. Anybody's ass and thighs look sexy and wanting in a pair and they will instantly get that cute guy on the 17th floor looking and still looking next morning. Forget tops that show your cleavage - they are constantly being reinvented - when you wear a pair of skinny jeans, the guy will look. You won't notice. But he will.

Forever young? I think so. They suit everybody, even those cheeky indie chappies from warbling bands like One Night Only and solo rappers. It's not just women. Men look bloody sexy in a pair and here is an important fact about why men should don these beauties. Skinnies are forever getting tighter and tighter and lower and lower so men are forced to wear low gartered underwear or even go commando! The increased pressure on their 'package' reduces the risk of infertility. So if you do decide to find a man who is ready to commit and build a family, choose a man with skinnies!
