The Rise: Your be pleased to hear the front rise measures 9.5 inches, which makes this jean a good high-rise option.

The Behind: In true J Brand style the back pockets are kept to a minimum no fuss. The pockets are positioned quite high to give the bottom a pert look.

The Leg Opening:  The Major has an 10 inch leg opening when the ankle zip is closed.

Leg Length:  The inseam is 28 inches, which will be cropped on the longer leg or sit on the ankle bone, when the zip is closed.

The Fabric: 98% Cotton 2% Lycra Twill.  J Brand say’s: Luxe Twill gives softness and stretch to your favorite styles. Garment dyed to reveal a rich colour and smooth finish.

Function: The J Brand Major Skinny is a classic skinny style with opening zip detail on the outside of the ankle. The style is quite understated from the knee upward and in my opinion it’s the ankle zip detail that gives this style edge, which makes this jean an essential to any wardrobe. The colour – Blue Bonnet is one of this season’s fashion colours, exclusive to Donna Ida, that make this jean stand out from the crowd.

Which Body Shape:  Donna Ida say’s  “Suitable for every body shape with its flattering high rise, zip ankle detail and super stretch twill.”.  With the front rise sitting at 9.5 inches high this style does lend itself to most body shapes within J Brand’s sizing which goes up to a size 32 which is approx a UK14.

Tip: Revolutionize the way you buy jeans by measuring your unique rise measurement.

The Round Up Of The J Brand Major Skinny Jean in Blue Bonnet.

If you read Tried & Tested on a regular basis ( I hope you do!) then you will know I’m a total J Brand fan. This is purely based on how their jeans fit your body shape and make you feel when you wear them, which in my opinion should be the primary factor when buying jeans. There’s something about the design of the J Brand Skinny that improves your body and elongates your legs!  The Major is an easy style to wear through the season’s with killer heels or boots, this style is a classic.

The price £205 is a mid price for a J Brand Jean, be assured you will wear these again and again.

TRIED & TESTED: NOBODY CULT SKINNY IN DOMINO EXCLUSIVE TO DONNA IDA

TRIED & TESTED DENIM REVIEW

This week our timing was perfect as the sun shone bright when we visited denim mecca Donna Ida to carry out the review on the Nobody Cult Skinny in Domino. This style is exclusive to Donna Ida.

Today we have Rachel a Beauty Therapist, who is a UK 8, slight pear shape modeling the jeans in a size 25. As this style has a slight distressed look, check out our latest post on how to wear this look… We Love Distressed Denim.

Rachel in Nobody Cult Skinny

The Fit: The Cult Skinny by Nobody in Domino wash is a high-rise super slim skinny leg jean. Sizes start at 24 -32, that’s approx a UK 6 to 14.

Donna Ida say’s: this denim has great stretch and recovery so will hold you in and slim you down.

The Rise:  The front rise measures 9 inches, which is a perfect rise for Rachel as she has a long body and her unique rise measurement is 12 inches from crotch to belly button. As the sizing goes up the measurement of the rise will differ.

The Behind:  The Nobody skinny has a simple square pocket detail, with the Nobody embroidery on the right pocket only, it’s simple and it works. The Yoke, the piece under the waistband gives a good shape to the bottom.

The Leg Opening:  9 inches which makes this style a skinny.

Leg Length:  The inseam is 30 inches, try rolling up the hem for a crop style.

The Fabric: 98% Cotton 2% PU, Australian made, fair and ethical. Hand-crafted abrasions.

Function:  This style will be your summer favorite you’ll want to wear all the time, a true casual skinny that will take you from day to night. The wash is a true-denim bleached out wash with a carefully hand-crafted abrasion below the knee.  Rachel didn’t want to take them off!

Which Body Shape: This skinny is a great style for the Long & Leggy, Apple, Hourglass & Pear due to the high rise, however it is a skinny and may make the curvacious look heavy on the hips. If this is the case my tip is to roll up the hem to the ankle bone which balances out the curves.

Tip: As I always say, no two pear shapes are the same and it’s your unique rise measurement that should guide you to the best rise for you.

The Round Up Of The Nobody Cult Skinny In Domino

I’m liking this style because it’s not a statement fashion jean, it’s one of those styles you will get to love like an old friend that will fit you like a glove as time goes on. I’m also liking the brand Nobody and the ethics behind the brand that started 30 years ago  still continue today. They are true experts in fit,wash and the finish of premium denim.

The Price: £240 maybe a little steep but when you try them on and experience the fit & feel, I think you’ll be hooked.

Tried & Tested Score: 9.
