Skinny Jeans Cause Nerve Damage? That's Just Great

Think it's time for baggy boyfriend jeans to be the "it" jean? Let's hope so, because according to this article, medical experts are seeing a rise in the number of women with nerve damage in their legs -- and skinny jeans are to blame!

Apparently there is a nerve that runs down the side of your leg and, as the article quotes New Orleans neurologist Dr. John England, "Anything that is tight around there could potentially compress the nerve that goes there."

(Oh, and wearing high heels only makes it worse because of the unnatural way they push your pelvis forward. What else are we wearing that's bad for us?)

Women have reported tingling sensations in their legs and -- in some cases -- full-on numbness. The symptoms are temporary and when you take off the jeans things should return to normal, but still -- kinda creepy!

Here's the big question:

If you know your skinny jeans could cause your leg to go numb does that make you think twice about wriggling into them? Or do you not care?

Is Jessica Alba Pulling a Jessica Simpson?

Filed under: Clothing, Jeans, Celebrity Fashion Mistakes

.
Apparently, it's not just a first name these two starlets share.

First, Simpson received endless scrutiny over unflattering on stage photos of her wearing Grey Ant's high-waisted Carpenter Jean and now Jessica Alba has been spotted in a similarly questionable cut courtesy of MiH's "Berlin" jean. Could this be the beginning of Jessica Weightgate 2.0?

It seems every time the denim waistbands of Hollywood hotties with any curves at all land somewhere in the Northern Hemisphere, eyebrows follow suit. We think there's something about this Regal Beagle-worthy waistline and wash that screams "Mom jeans!"

Unless, of course, you have the boyish bod of Keira Knightley or Kate Moss. Go figure!

Should curvy women wear this trendy take on denim?

Filed under: Jeans, Style Tip of the Day

american apparelSo acid wash is back (cue the gasps of horror). When we look back to the 80s, it was certainly a startling trend. But when we look forward, we see nothing but acid wash pared in the most basic of ways and looking ... wait for it ... cute. Yes, cute.

Filed under: Get the Look

joy bryantYou knew it wouldn't be Fashion Week "Get the Look" without an appearance from our favorite girl on the town, Joy Bryant. Though she had some really great looks this week (ie: a killer Missoni jumpsuit and a stained glass print Matthew Williamson mini), this relaxed look from the Jason Wu show was one of our favorites.

The Dreaded Drop Crotch for Men - Yea or Nay?

Filed under: Runway Trends, Jeans, Men

Corpus grey drop crotch sweatpantsWhile we're not really sure that we'd be doing old-school sheik culture justice by referring to these top-heavy sweatpants as "harem-inspired," the drop crotch look for men is being adopted, or at the very least, pretending to be. According to the rumor mill, Corpus' now infamous drop crotch pants have sold out a few times over at OAK. Even though we're not seeing them with any regularity outside of fashion blogs, chatter about these extremely comfortable looking, yet unflattering pants has been mighty persistent over the past year.

Lemondrop's Super Bowl Mania Tips

Filed under: Clothing

SteelersThe Super Bowl. It's probably one of the few football games we watch all year. Why? The commercials are hilarious and it's an excuse to dive into taco dip head first. But what exactly do you wear to such a manly extravaganza? (Remember ladies, this is like the equivalent to Sex and the City: The Movie for guys so you've got to respect their feelings, too, and dress like one of the boys.)

Naked & Famous - Cool Jeans, New Suits

Filed under: Jeans, Must Haves


Some artists are trained that an unclothed human form is nude; but to be naked, the subject must bear his/her soul. We love Naked & Famous because it's raw. Not just that there's untreated denim (there is), but because the entire range is so straight forward in approach. The fabric choices (denim compositions and weights) make Naked & Famous a highly desirable collection. There are jeans in 100% cotton denim, 95% cotton with stretch, cashmere/denim, silk/denim and a limited edition of 37 Hank-dyed with natural indigo.
