Kate Middleton Dresses Casually in Skinny Jeans, Vest, and Sneakers for First In-Person Event Since Quarantine - ELLE.com

Posted: 19 Jun 2020 06:01 AM PDT

The coronavirus pandemic is not over, but in a testament to the UK's progress in containing the virus, Kate Middleton went out for her first in-person event today. The Duchess of Cambridge visited the Fakenham Garden Centre in Norfolk to talk with its owners and staff about how the center has been affected by COVID-19.

The center is close to the Duchess's country home, Anmer Hall, where she, Prince William, and their three children Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis are quarantining.

Kate dressed casually for her visit, pairing skinny jeans with a Jaeger mint button-up, Fjällräven brown vest, and dark green sneakers. Kate did not wear a mask; she did, however, appear to keep about six feet apart from the people she spoke to: centre owners Martin and Jennie Turner and members of their staff. The CDC and WHO recommend that people wear a mask in public where there is widespread community transmission of COVID-19 to help prevent its spread. This applies especially in cases where six feet of separation between people cannot be maintained, although the WHO defers to local authorities to instate area policies.

The Duchess's in-person visit comes one day after footage of her leading a virtual assembly with school children aired. Kate spoke about the feelings of frustration that come with being in quarantine, telling the kids:

"We all have our ups and downs, especially when things change in our lives as they have in so many ways recently. This can cause us to have a huge range of different feelings. Sometimes these feelings may be good, but sometimes they may be uncomfortable, and we feel worried, angry or upset.

"Being unable to see your friends or spend time with your family will undoubtedly be frustrating for you, just as it is for them. It's been a really difficult time for us all. But it's important to know that these feelings and frustrations are totally normal, and that they won't last forever."

"As we help others, we mustn't forget to nurture ourselves by taking the time to focus on the things that make us feel happy too. This might be playing our favorite game, being outside, or talking to our friends. They all help with our mental wellbeing. Thank you for inviting me to speak to you today. Look after yourselves, reach out when you need help, and do your part to support those in need."

The Reviews Don't Lie: These Sculpting Jeans Will Make Your Butt Look Great - Yahoo Lifestyle

Posted: 16 Jun 2020 09:00 PM PDT

There's nothing like putting on a pair of amazing jeans that instantly transforms your look and boosts your confidence. But we know all too well that with so many styles, fits, and fabrics out there, finding the perfect pair of jeans that flatters your figure, contours your assets, and fits like a glove is not always an easy feat. Taking a few features into account can help when shopping for your body type and fit preference. Two style details to consider are the position of the back pockets and the design of the yoke. (The yoke is the V-shaped section at the back of the jeans that gives denim a curved seat. Typically, the deeper the V, the more shapely your bum will look.)

Luckily, when it comes to finding the butt-lifting jeans of your dreams, we've done some of the hard work for you. We looked at the top reviews and positive feedback of sculpting jeans from a plethora of retailers to bring you the 20 best out there. Scroll below to find your perfect pair and see what reviewers say about them.

Levi's Wedgie Icon ($98)

Rating: 4.9/5 stars

Customer Review: "I am 5'1, around 106 lbs with a small waist and wider hips, bum, thighs, and these fit great in a size 26. It also tapers at the ankles which I love but because I am short, I do have to roll the hem up a couple of times. Levi's quality is top notch (they wash super well) and I am a fan of the button fly front. These are high-waisted on my petite frame, though the waistband rests right around my belly button so not quite at my true waist. I'd buy all colors of the wedgie style jeans if i could; they are perfect for us pear-shaped gals." — Bestiek

Citizens of Humanity Sculpt Rocket High Waist Skinny Jeans ($238)

Rating: 4.6/5 stars

Customer Review: "These jeans are hands down my favorites. The stretch is perfect. They're the perfect waist height, and extremely flattering. I have a hard time with jeans and once I realized how much I love these, I started learning about what fabric they're made of and looked for jeans only with the same thing. Obsessed!" — MacKenzielverson

Madewell Skinny Flare Jeans in Crossett Wash ($80)

Rating: 4.7/5 stars

Customer Review: "These are the perfect flare jeans and fit super comfy. The "pocket" tech of Madewell helps hold the tummy in just a bit—but not like a girdle. Just smooth, yet still comfy." — JFSchroeder1

Madewell 9" Mid-Rise Skinny Jeans in Hayes Wash ($135)

Rating: 4.6/5 Stars

Customer Review: "Get ready for the butt compliments! The fit is absolutely pristine. It's the perfect amount of compression to smooth everything out, the rise hits at the perfect spot, and the pocket placement and size really does wonders for your butt. I cannot say enough great things about these jeans." — LexiB123

Style Tip: Show off your butt-lifting jeans by pairing them with a chic cropped blouse.

Madwell Curvy Classic Straight Jeans ($128)

Rating: 4.8/5 Stars

Customer Review: "These are the absolute best Madewell jeans I've ever bought (and I have bought many!). There is no awkward waist gap, they smooth out all of your curves, and the denim has just enough stretch. If you're thinking about buying these: do it!" — emilymg22

Mother The Looker Frayed Ankle Jeans ($228)

Rating: 4.6/5 Stars

Customer Review: "I love these jeans and am so happy I ordered them. They are so comfortable. Every little thing about the fit is perfect!" — aheck

Madewell Stovepipe Jeans in Antoine Wash ($128)

Rating: 4.7/5 Stars

Customer Review: "I cannot rave enough about the stovepipe fit (with a hint of stretch). They look modern, fit slim but not tight, and make the assets look great—all without the skinny jean sausage-casing feels. Sometimes you just don't want material hugging your legs all day/ I don't know if I can ever go back to skinny jeans now that I have these stovepipe jeans. I have a short torso, but the rise was a perfect hold-you-in rise. I wore these to work with a blazer, half tucked tee, and flats, and they felt just polished enough to handle a run in with executives. I will be living in these jeans." — MelPDX

Everlane The Cheeky Straight Jean ($78)

Rating: 4.5/5 Stars

Customer Review: "These jeans are the absolute BEST. Buttery soft, they hold you in, have the perfect amount of stretch to them, and take any outfit up a notch. I tried them on in-store, but they didn't have my inseam. I went ahead and ordered online because I knew I had to have them! Buy these jeans! Flattering for any body type, as they mold to you throughout the day. Love, love, love." — jrcamp

Gap High Rise Curvy True Skinny Ankle Jeans ($80)

Rating: 4.7/5 Stars

Customer Review: "The perfect shape. I love these jeans. They fit my hourglass shape like a glove. I'm 5'1 so I bought them in Petite because regular jeans are always too long for me, but these are a bit shorter than I expected (about 4 inches above my ankles). Other than that they're perfectly stretchy and comfy." — Shakti

Style Tip: A trending backless top will draw more attention to your assets.

H&M Embrace High Ankle Jeans ($40)

Rating: 4.4/5 Stars

Customer Review: "These jeans are the perfect fit. They hug nicely in all the right areas of the body, they accentuate and compliment ones natural shape very nicely. I have a somewhat pear shape to my body so the high-waist complements my curves beautifully as well. They are super comfortable and have a stretch like quality to them. The distress denim gives you the ability to play a lot with your looks. These are officially my new favorite jeans." — H&M customer

Paige Hoxton High Waist Crop Skinny Jeans ($150)

Rating: 5/5 Stars

Customer Review: "I love these jeans! I feel super cute in them. I'm 5'4, 140lbs and pretty hippy. I ordered a size 29 which can be dicey with curves and a small waist but they fit my body perfectly and are really comfy. I love putting them on!" — Rosebud59

Style Tip: You can never go wrong with a basic white tee and high-waisted denim.

Review: 4 women try Everlane's Authentic Stretch denim - Insider - INSIDER

Everlane denim
Everlane

In September 2017, Digital Age wunderkind Everlane released its first-ever line of jeans made from Japanese denim. The waitlist — a companion to any big Everlane launch — tapped out at about 45,000 people.

One year later, Everlane followed up with a new denim line dubbed the Authentic Stretch.

Authentic Stretch is essentially exactly what it sounds like: stretch denim that actually looks like denim. It comes in three styles (high-rise cigarette, mid-rise skinny, and high-rise skinny) in either regular or ankle lengths. Styles are offered in three or four classic colors per style (black, washed black, mid blue, and dark wash blue). Prices are unusually affordable, ranging from $68 - $78.

This line seeks to avoid the fatal trajectory of stretch denim that looks something like this:

At first, they're comfortable like sweatpants and slimming like only a stretchy, form-fitting material can be. The world is your oyster; there are no stairs too steep or meals too big. After a few hours of wear, though, the same pair is bagged out, loose, and has gone from the best to the worst pair that you own. 

Everlane has achieved what we've all been looking for — denim that looks like rigid and substantial, but can stretch and mold throughout the day without becoming too lose, pockets that are actually usable, and prices that are half of what we pay for similar pairs. You can read our full individual experiences below, but the consensus of the Insider Reviews women is this: Everlane has a big success on their hands. 

Like the rest of Everlane's offerings, the denim is also notable for its transparency in process and pricing. The Authentic Stretch Denim jeans cost $68 - $78, but the company estimates they'd be priced at $170 if sold in traditional retail. The jeans are also manufactured in a LEED-certified factory that recycles 98% of its water to the point where you could drink a glass, relies on alternative energy sources, and repurposes byproducts in order to address the concerns of clean water, clean energy, and clean waste. 

If you're concerned about how Authentic Stretch performs in person, read our thoughts below before deciding to pick a pair up for yourself.

Here's what we thought of the Authentic Stretch denim in our everyday lives:

Mara Leighton, Insider Reviews senior reporter: Authentic Stretch High-Rise Skinny, Black, $68

I'll be honest, I felt lackluster about Everlane's first denim line. I wished they had longer inseams, more stretch pre-wash, and more rigidity post-wash. But, having said that, I think they hit it out of the park with the Authentic Stretch. 

These jeans are among my favorite pairs that I own, and they're the best "true" denim look and feel for a stretch jean that I have yet tried — a huge feat for $68, which is closer to half of what I pay for comparative jeans. The closest comparison I can make for Everlane's new Authentic Stretch would be my Madewell jeans ($125) that have the ISKO Reform technology, but Everlane's feel unmistakably more like classic denim — tougher, and slightly rough to the touch.

The High-Rise Skinnys truly never bagged out. They're stretchy enough to accommodate sitting cross-legged, eating five course meals, wearing them traveling, and sitting hunched over at an office desk for hours a day, but they never once lost their shape or elasticity. At the end of the day, they looked and felt the same no matter what I put them through. 

In terms of sizing, I typically fall between a size 26 and 27 in denim. I usually order a 26 in Everlane pants, and I'm glad I followed that rule for this pair too. All in all, I'm impressed and will be back for a Cigarette pair

Remi Rosmarin, Insider Reviews intern: Authentic Stretch High-Rise Skinny, Black, $68

When it comes to jeans, I'm pretty picky. I stick to the brands I know and love and am apprehensive about buying new ones, especially stretch denim. Stretchy jeans, jeggings, whatever you call them — I've never found a pair that is as flattering as it is comfortable. Plus, if I'm wearing jeans, I want to look like I'm wearing jeans, not glorified leggings.

I tried Everlane's Authentic Stretch High-Rise Skinny ($68) and it's truly unlike any pair of stretch denim I've tried before. They are soft and stretchy, easy to slip on and button, but when you touch them, they have the same rugged feel of actual denim. A drawback of most jeggings is the pockets that are sewn shut so you can't even use them, but all the pockets here are actually functional. This pair strikes the unique balance that I've yet to find in in other styles of jeans, especially at this price point — a flattering, true denim style with a comfortable, stretchy feel that you'll actually want to wear all day long.

Ellen Hoffman, Insider Reviews executive editor: Authentic Stretch High Rise Cigarette Ankle, Black, $78

I'm a big fan of stretch denim that's done right, but it's often hit or miss, especially at the more accessible end of the spectrum. Stretch denim is often far too stretchy for my liking, easily bagging at the knees and loosening in the waist after a few wears. This is all to say that I pleasantly was surprised to find that Everlane's Stretch High-Rise Cigarette Ankle Jean, which retails for just $78, was just right, holding me in in all the right places, but offering plenty of stretch for all-day comfort. The combination of the extra-high rise and slim-straight fit also flattered my petite, 5'3 frame. I think button flys are largely inconvenient, so I wish these jeans came with a zipper fly instead, but all in all, I think I've found a new go-to denim brand for affordable, not-too-stretchy stretch jeans.

Malarie Gokey, Insider Reviews guides editor: Authentic Stretch High-Rise Skinny, Black, $68

I was very excited to try the new Authentic Stretch Jeans because if there's one flaw to the first pair of jeans Everlane made, it's that they were stiff without stretch. The new stretch jeans don't disappoint — They're very comfortable and they move with you as you bend, stretch, and move throughout the day.

The dark black color looks good with just about everything, and once fall boots-and-sweater weather comes along, I bet I'll wear them often. My only critique is that I wish Everlane would diversify the cut of its denim to include silhouettes that aren't tapered and skinny. Make me a pair of flares or bootcut jeans from this same stretch denim and you'll never get me out of them!

The 12 Best Summer Jeans for Men 2020 - Esquire

Posted: 20 Jun 2020 06:03 AM PDT

summer jeans

If you've been dreading the onset of warmer weather because it makes wearing your favorite pair of jeans slightly harder to justify, take a deep breath and calm down. No one's coming for your jeans. On the contrary, climate change and the mercurial shifts in temperature it engenders mean you can pretty much get away with wearing pants all year round (yay?) provided you're wearing the right type. And when it comes to summer denim, you definitely want to lighten up. Opt for a slightly looser fit than you might otherwise, maybe even with a touch of stretch for added comfort, and to retain any semblance of breathability avoid stiffer selvages and definitely opt for lightweight denim as opposed to the heavy-duty stuff*.

This one summer in high school I caught a ride with a friend of mine and his family to a house they had upstate, and my boy came through in a brand new pair of selvedge jeans so crisp he could barely sit down comfortably in the car. It was deadass approaching, like, 90 degrees outside and this poor schmuck had to spend the entirety of the ride shifting his weight back and forth trying to find a position that seemed the most natural without completely cutting off circulation to the lower half of his body. My guy, I can clearly tell you're extremely uncomfortable and potentially in pain, but I'm going to ignore the fact that you look like you've been trying not to pass out for the last hour and half because I respect the commitment. That's true camaraderie right there. What is friendship if not taking pity on your boy when he comes through in who-knows-how-many ounces worth of selvedge by resisting the urge to call him out for his wildly weather-agnostic fit?

Don't be like my friend. Invest in some seasonally appropriate denim. But remember: Ultimately, no pair of pants—no matter how loose-fitting or lightweight—will feel as freeing as shorts. Fashion hurts. This shit ain't a game, man. Now leave me alone and let me suffer in peace.

*Fabric weight is calculated in ounces per yard, and you're looking for something in the less-than-10-ounce range, ideally even as light as six or eight ounces. For context, those fancy selvedge jeans my buddy was wearing? Probably 14-to-16-ounces of summer misery.
