Hello! SkinnyJeans®
By Tammy | February 28, 2008
We’ve talked in the past about the skinny jean trend. I’ve pretty much decided I won’t partake in this trend, leave it for my 21 year-old step-daughter and her friends! I mean, skinny jeans on a 36 year-old? Not this one!
However, I’m reconsidering a new kind of “skinny” jean (the kind that makes me look skinny, not the kind that is skinny)….Reader Jenn emailed me to ask if I knew anything about Hello! SkinnyJeans®. I don’t, so I looked them up and found them to be quite promising. Read what about the design process of these jeans! ( from Hello! SkinnyJeans website)
“… 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, SkinnyJeans® are made from classic denim but with a high nylon/elastane content. This gives them a ‘beefy’ strength to hold you in (no wimpy, gummy stretch here) and creates ‘Memory’—the jeans never stretch out, bag out or lose their shape. (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 silhouette.
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 non-stretch cotton pocketing is sewn through from seam to seam so it acts as a restraint holding the entire stomach area in.
Fifth, the fading and shading pattern on the jeans creates an optical illusion front and back that slims the leg. The inside and outside seams are darkened. 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. Additionally, we incorporate barely-visible whiskering above the natural leg break to make the leg appear longer.
Sixth, SkinnyJeans® come in a barely-boot cut and straight leg; these styles balance the shape of the leg making your thighs appear as slim 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; no advertising for the designer and no flashing of price tags.
Eighth, SkinnyJeans® have a medium rise with contoured stretch waistband. No cleavage, no previously non-existent potbelly!
Finally, the high-waters have receded — SkinnyJeans® come in inseams to 37”!! And because the design is so successfully slimming, we make SkinnyJeans® in sizes 24-32 and 34, 36, and 38.”
Do these not sound like a grown woman’s best friend?? Nine steps to ensure these jeans are thigh slimming, stomach flattening, buttock-shaping, leg-lengthening, stretch blue jean perfect! If that is not enough, apparently Rachel Ray is a huge fan on the jeans and wears them frequently on her show!

The testimonials are pretty strong too!

I feel confident and beautiful when I wear my Skinny Jeans. It’s always better to look your best. They make a gap in-between my legs that immediately make anyone look 5 lbs lighter. Also, the high waist is fabulous tummy control. The materials all stretch, hold, and sculpt the perfect figure. I wear them more than the expensive designer jeans I own!

After seeing ‘skinny jeans’ highlighted on The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch – I just KNEW I HAD to have them; that they WERE – without a doubt what I have been searching for, for the last couple of years…. Being an ‘average’ sized woman (size 34) it is sometimes difficult to find jeans that not only fit and complement my body – but ones that are comfortable - these jeans seem to be made for real women who want to look incredible! Thank you skinny jeans – for making a pair of jeans that I look and feel great in – NOW – how about starting a line of bras?
Just so you know, I am not affiliated with Hello! SkinnyJeans…wish I was because that woman is going to bring in some serious cash!…but I am so excited to have been introduced to these jeans (thanks Jenn!) and I know that I must buy them! I’ll have to save for them, they cost $178, but I think it’ll be worth it! Too be sure, I’ll track down my nearest retailer and try them on.
Now, if you have tried Hello! SkinnyJeans®, you absolutely MUST leave a comment and tell me about them as I can’t seem to track down anyone who has actually tried them! If you have not tried them, what do you think? Willing to give them a shot?

I have never even heard of them until now…But after those pictures, I’d love to give them try!

Cool post…I hadn’t heard of these either, and they’re aren’t any retailers that carry them in Virginia. Let us know if you end up getting a pair and if you like them. I was planning on saving up for a pair of Hudson’s (which are in the same price range).

It takes a looooong time to get them straight from the company. I ordered mine on Jan 23rd and half the order came today. They are horrible with communication, btw. Anyhow, I just tried the jeans on and they look fabulous from the front….but the back–blech. I’m 5′9 and 125 lbs, but unless I stick my rear out far (like the girls in the pics above), I get these two lines on the back of my thighs that are really unflattering. Look for a pair of 27/34s on eBay. I’m too afraid I’ll never see a refund if I return them to the company.

Good luck if you have a return or exchange. From personal experience - it’s been one month since I returned mine and I have had no luck getting my refund. They have a history of complaints with the Better Business Bureau; check out their BBB history before you decide to hand over your $200.00:
