The Perfect Skinny Jeans

Denim is a part of my everyday life. The same pair can be versatile enough to dress up or down. I work in a pretty relaxed environment so I’m able to wear jeans to work or a denim jacket without feeling underdressed. I love denim but denim doesn’t seem to love me back. See, I’ve been blessed/cursed with a small waist, wide hips, a round booty and long-ish legs. When I’ve been working out regularly my thighs become bulky and pants that used to fit snug suddenly can’t be pulled higher than my knees. Jeans fit but there’s always something off. They either gape at the waist because my waist/hip ratio is so large, they either cut my legs too short and sit above my ankles because they aren’t long enough or they make my thighs look massive because… I don’t know? Cut … or style? I can't be the only girl out here struggling to find a good pair of jeans. I’d honestly gotten the point where I had accepted that the jeans I purchased would always have an issue and I was dealing with it.

They say when you stop chasing something it suddenly enters your life because now I can say I’ve found jeans which I love! Which fit! Which are comfy stretchy! And bonus points because they’re high waisted too. Although I’ve been shopping at TopShop for a while now I always stayed away from the denim section because I honestly thought all they ever stocked were those super high waisted, sprayed on jeggings which only make sense for college girls and only flatter the super skinny. I didn’t need to depress myself so I stayed away, but someone suggested I should give them a shot and I’m so happy I did. I’ve found a cut and style I ADORE!! Jamie highwaisted, skinny denims are my fave because they still have all 5 pockets to make them classic denims, they’re flattering and are thick but stretchy. I also love that TopShop jeans come in waist/length sizes because I can cater for my 28 waist and 32 length. The best part of all, they don’t cost a fortune. So far I’ve purchase two pairs (in black and blue, I’m on the look out for white) and each pair did not cost me over R1000.
