Are Skinny Jeans Bad For Body Image?

FitSugar — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 03:30:00 PDT

When I head to work I'm all about comfort, so the fashion police would probably give me a ticket for my lack of trendiness. But when the weekend rolls around, I definitely like to dress up if I'm going out, especially because my girls love it when I put on heels and lipstick.

Skinny jeans and leggings are some of the biggest trends I see when I'm out, and being the health-minded person that I am, I'm wondering how you ladies feel about this fad (which doesn't seem to be going away anytime soon). Are these skin-tight pants encouraging women to feel bad about their figures, or do you think they're a great tool to motivate women to meet their fitness goals?

I once got a stomachache from my skinny jeans.

Will Health Risks Keep You Out of Your Skinny Jeans?

TresSugar — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 07:00:00 PDT

We've heard that skinny jeans can cause tingling thigh syndrome, but in news that will surprise absolutely no one who wears skinny jeans (I even sit half-lotus while meditating in mine!), Consumer Reports physicians say that wearing skinny jeans could also give you bladder infections, yeast infections, blood clots and even fertility problems!

“Once you have those symptoms," NYU assistant professor of neurology Dr. Keith Stiller says with a straight face, "it’s probably not a good idea to for you to keep wearing those clothes.” (Ya think?) What about you - will anything come between you and your ~~Calvins~~ skinnies?

Skinny Jeans Causing Tingling Thighs

FitSugar — Tue, 26 May 2009 12:00:00 PDT

For healthy, normal-sized woman, skinny jeans are not a welcomed fashion statement. Aside from paining a woman's self-esteem and making many feel the need to lose weight, new research shows that skinny jeans also cause physical pain. Constant pressure from the tight denim jeans cuts off the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve create the nerve condition meralgia paresthetica, known in layman's term a bit more descriptively as "tingling thigh syndrome." The lateral femoral cutaneous nerve runs from the outside of the pelvis and through the thigh. When compressed, it causes a numb, tingling, or burning sensation along the upper leg.

Tingling thigh syndrome is more common in construction workers who wear heavy work belts, pregnant women, or those who are obese. Over the past few years though, more and more healthy women are complaining of symptoms due to their tight skinny jeans. High heels, often worn with these jeans, compound the issue since they tilt the pelvis forward, increasing pressure on the nerve. Fortunately, there's little risk for causing permanent damage, but the sensations may inspire women to switch to looser-fitting pants. Tell me, have you ever experienced numb or tingling thighs from your jeans?

Celebrity Style: Ciara

FabSugar — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 05:50:22 PDT

R&B songstress Ciara showed up at BBC Radio One in London looking ferocious in skinny gray jeans, barely pink pocket tank, and slick, white blazer. Notice how the crinkly texture is unfussy while exotic Louis Vuitton sandals and sleek sunnies reveal her inner diva. What a cool juxtaposition - I like to call it fashion yin yang.

Signs Your Skinny Jeans Don't Fit

Atomic muffin top doesn't seem to be this gal's problem, but she might want to go up a size. At least she's got some helpful, caring friends who will help a sister out (of her ridiculously tight jeans)!

The Look For Less: Kova & T Light Gray Skinny Jeans

FabSugar — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 01:00:08 PST

There are gray jeans and then there are light gray jeans. Though I like the former, I am obsessed with the latter. The soft hue looks especially smashing with cognac pieces. I melt just thinking about it. My hunt for the perfect pair got me to these Kova & T Sandy 98 Skinny Jeans ($198). Compared to other brands, the price tag isn't brutal. Still, why spend more when I can spend less?

To see cheaper alternatives,

I further continued my search for the perfect light gray jeans by looking in less-expensive stores. That's when I found these Express Mia Ultra Skinny Gray Jeans ($70). They're light, they're fairly affordable, and they're skinny the way I like them.

Celebrity Style: Selita Ebanks

FabSugar — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 12:00:22 PDT

Selita Ebanks doesn't mind posing for the camera. Sporting her cropped do, the model looked fresh and fantastic in NYC during a visit to The Tyra Banks Show to celebrate the first all-black model issue of Vogue Italia. It looks like walking down the runway has perfected her art of styling. I like how she wrapped a brown belt around her cuffed Smythe boyfriend blazer and spiced things up with those colorful cut-out heels. One word describes this look: Fab!
