Wouldn’t it be great if you could feel happier just by wearing a pair of jeans? It may sound a little unusual, but that’s exactly researchers are saying.
According to a recent study conducted by Qualtrics, a survey platform, men and women who wear skinny jeans are happier than people who do not wear them. If you keep up with our blog here MakeYourOwnJeans.com, you probably know the general concept of skinny jeans: they are slim through the leg without flaring at the bottom. This allows them to hug the wearer’s body, creating the impression of a slimmer figure.
Just how much of a difference in terms of happiness can a pair of skinny jeans really make? The study found that people who wear skinny jeans are 9% more likely to report “high levels of happiness” than people who wear a different style. What’s even more surprising, however, is that researchers found that people who wore skinny jeans were 12% more likely to identify themselves as confident when compared to their counterpart. Happiness and confidence? Sounds like a winning combination to me! Additionally, researchers found that people who live in a major city, such as Los Angeles or New York, were more likely to choose a leaner style of denim, and they were also twice as likely to wear skinny jeans when compared to residents living in smaller, less populated cities.

It’s a common assumption that skinny jeans are a poor choice of denim for people who ride motorcycles. After all, wouldn’t the tightness make it difficult (and uncomfortable) to move? You might think so, but the Qualtrics study found that nearly a third pf people who wear skinny jeans also ride motorcycles. It’s unclear why so many motorcycle riders prefer skinny jeans, but perhaps this is a growing trend that we’ll see more of in the years to come.
These are certainly some interesting facts and figures regarding skinny jeans, but it’s important to note that this s just one study. Regardless, skinny jeans are making a strong comeback here in the U.S., so be sure to include them in your wardrobe.
