Denim leggings – What is this hot new trend of super ‘stuck on you’ skinny denim jeans? You might be thinking, “What cruel European designer would come up with such a trend?” but alas, don’t knock em’ until you try em’ My True Fit specialists suggest. This trend, worn the right way, can be flattering for most body types! This style features super stretch denim constructed into simple leggings.  Some manufacturers have opted for a sturdier construction with traditional 5-pocket styling zippers, pockets, and buttons produced with a narrower knee and leg opening and denim with higher stretch content.

Why is this trend so great you ask? Well first of all, the days of tucking (cramming!) straight leg jeans into boots and smoothing down scrunchy knees are over. These legging jeans smoothly hug your legs creating an optimal situation for easily pulling on boots without the fuss (you know what I’m talking about!).  These jeans are perfect with a longer tee or sweater for day wear and a silky top with stilettos for a sexy evening look.

Ok, so you’re warming up to the idea but you’re not ready to take the plunge yet.   We’d like to introduce you to the Red Engine Burner; a super skinny denim jean with twice the stretch (but not too much stretch) with an evolutionary elastan fabrication that moves with your skin, but never against your skin. So why the Burner and not a legging? Kim Harlan, Marketing Director for Red Engine, told My True Fit “the new Burner absolutely can be worn as a legging, but it’s more than just a legging…our design team consciously chose not to make skin-tight leggings, but to create trend-influenced jeans that would be easier for more body types to wear, and have a much longer wardrobe life span” whoa! Well one thing we love to hear is confirmation that our fashion forward styles won’t be tossed into the abyss of the back of our closet at the end of the season, never to be seen again. So why do we love it? The front pockets aren’t sewn closed, and they're not so skinny that they are like tights. They are soft, sexy, and super comfortable while also being more functional and easier to wear.

Well, there you have it, the denim legging trend, the best way to wear them, and My True Fit’s recommendation of the most flattering pick: The Red Engine Burner – you’ll love em’.
