I like wearing jeans. I LOVE wearing jeans that make me LOOK good and FEEL good at the same time.
So when I pulled on a pair of SkinnyJeans®, looked in the mirror and then did my ultimate “jeans-test” — I sat down in them — I knew I’d found true denim love.
Then my love grew even deeper as I got to know the story behind the brand.
It turns out the reason SkinnyJeans® look and feel so good is that a real woman solved the real problems women have when wearing jeans.
That brilliant problem-solving entrepreneur is Catherine Hart.
Several years ago, before the trend of skin tight jeans with tapered legs was coined “skinny jeans”, Catherine figured out that by manufacturing jeans in a better way they could make a woman look thinner.
It’s shocking to hear, but Catherine was “a lawyer from California with no design experience.” I love that she followed her instinct, worked hard to design and deliver a quality product that solves a real need for real women. (And cheers to her for registering a phenomenal trademark ahead of it’s time.)
I love this video interview with Catherine shortly after she created her new brand of jeans. She tells the inspiring story of how she invented SkinnyJeans®.
Catherine did it. She had a vision, followed through with determination and you and I are skinnier for it.
The photo at the top of this post is of my twin sister Janice in her SkinnyJeans®. While you may say, “But Janice IS skinny,” and I agree she is (I always nag her to eat more), my pair is a size larger than hers and also make me look skinnier than I am. These jeans truly are figure flattering.
SkinnyJeans® come in a variety of styles in sizes 24-32 and 34, 36, and 38. (Janice is wearing NiteOut in size 27.)
Want To Try SkinnyJeans®?
Leave a comment and tell us which style you’d pick. We’ll draw a random comment number to win a pair of SkinnyJeans®.
Open to residents of Canada and the United States.

I love the Barely bootcuts Black Wash
I am currently 8 months pregnant and dream of wearing normal clothes again! I iike the night wash
I’d love to try the Nightwash Barely Bootcut! Cute, cute jeans.
I would definitely try the NiteWash. I prefer a darker color jean; I’m 5″4″ and anything that makes my legs look slimmer and longer is OK by me!
I’d like the Night Wash style!
My biggest problem with jeans that I need someone to “fix” is that I am an “apple” shaped person and my weight is typically in my waist. My waist and my hips/butt/legs are completely different sizes. So, if they fit my hip/butt/thighs, I get serious muffintop (and way too uncomfortable to sit in) and if they fit my waist, they sag/bag everywhere else. *sigh* LOL
I think the NiteWash jeans look fabulous!
I would love to win any of them, but I think i’d choose the Nite Out Barely Bootcuts!
I think I would try the skinny P’s.
I like the NiteOut style, and I’m also really intrigued by the process involved with the GreenJeans.
I’d pick the Greenjeans.
I’d like the Day Wash barely bootcut in size 29 🙂 Look comfy,hard to find a good pair of jeans that make you feel comfy and look good after having two kids. Thanks!

Nite out Barely Bootcut
I want the Skinny P’s because I am short and regular jeans are a mile too long 🙂
I would love to try these! I think I would go with the Green Jean! I love them!
Oh please pick me! I am not so much rockin’ a post-baby body and would really love to feel good in a pair of jeans right now. She’s 13 months old now, and I’m just waiting for the “When are you due?” I’d go with the Skinny P’s, for my 5’2″ self.
so hard to choose! I’m leaning more to the nite out
If I won I would love to have the Straight Cut jeans in gray! 🙂
I’d try the stellar jeans
I think I like the NiteWash or the Stellar Jeans the best!

Night out barely boot cut…though I have to admit I’m a skeptic!
Definitely like to try the Nite Out pair! They look great!
Oooo! Would LOVE the luxury cords! And, I promise to let everyone know where I got them! 😉
If I won, I think I would like the cords. It’s always hard to find good looking cords without looking frumpy. And winter weather in Canada needs cords! 🙂
I think I’d like to try GreenJeans. But, are ‘cords’ coming back into style? If so I’d rather choose Luxury Cords instead as winter is coming!
