牛仔裤的贴身程度影响我们的信心与情绪
According to a new survey by Qualtrics, the fit of our jeans affects confidence, mood and - bizarrely - our recycling habits.
Qualtrics最近进行了一次关于牛仔裤的调查，结果发现，牛仔裤的贴身程度会影响我们的信心，情绪，甚至环保习惯。
The research found that women who wear figure-hugging styles are nine per cent more likely to report high levels of happiness than someone who wears boyfriend or boot cut looks.
The study also discovered that women who describe themselves as 'extremely or very confident' are 12 per cent more likely to be slim jeans devotees.
Skinny jeans became the go-to trouser in the early Noughties after being spotted on the likes of supermodel Kate Moss and reality star Kim Kardashian.
Speaking about the drainpipe trouser's widespread appeal The Fashion Police commented: 'You don't need to be skinny to wear skinny jeans: the word 'skinny' refers to the cut of the leg, not the shape of the wearer.
'Pay close attention to fit: these jeans are much less forgiving than other cuts of denim, which means you really can't afford to size down in them.
'Dark washes will look dressier than lighter ones, and will also be more slimming.'
Weirdly, Qualtrics also discovered a host of unusual facts about those who favour skinnies.
Wearers of tight jeans are more likely to sit in the aisle than by the window on aeroplanes and they are more likely to favour PC devices over Apple electronics.
Sydney-born Berkshire-based entrepreneur Donna Ida Thornton runs innovative Denim Clinics, which provide a comprehensive masterclass in helping women find their perfect jeans match.
If you have long legs she recommends wearing a 'low to mid rise'.
She said: 'This cut keeps the waist at the right height, whereas petite girls look great in a high rise that accentuates the waist and elongates the legs.'
Donna advised: 'Pear shapes should look for skinny jeans with a high waist to elongate the leg and apple shapes should look for plenty of stretch in a straight leg in a dark wash.'
'Boyish shapes can wear most styles.'
The Qualtrics research found that people who wear super-tight trousers are less likely to be eco-warriors - recyclers are seven per cent less likely to wear skinny jeans.
