It may sound a little unusual, but that&#8217;s exactly researchers are saying.<\/p>\n<p>According to a recent study conducted by Qualtrics, a survey platform, men and women who wear <a href=\"http:\/\/www.makeyourownjeans.com\/jeans?zenid=ec30face753b7a8eb157c4c67638955b\">skinny jeans<\/a> 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&#8217;s body, creating the impression of a slimmer figure.<\/p>\n<p>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 &#8220;high levels of happiness&#8221; than people who wear a different style.\u00a0 What&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<h3>Video: The Truth Behind Skinny Jeans<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DTXreAlv4gI\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Check out the video above to see Qualtrics explanation of skinny jean and happiness.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a common assumption that skinny jeans are a poor choice of denim for people who ride motorcycles. After all, wouldn&#8217;t the tightness make it difficult (and uncomfortable) to move?\u00a0 You might think so, but the Qualtrics study found that nearly a third pf people who wear skinny jeans also ride motorcycles. It&#8217;s unclear why so many motorcycle riders prefer skinny jeans, but perhaps this is a growing trend that we&#8217;ll see more of in the years to come.<\/p>\n<p>These are certainly some interesting facts and figures regarding skinny jeans, but it&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Do you feel happier when wearing a pair of skinny jeans?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wouldn&#8217;t it be great if you could feel happier just by wearing a pair of jeans?
