What makes black skinny jeans such a hot fashion trend is not only their great looks but their form flattering design. Darker fabrics like blue or black are inherently slimming and skinny jeans add to that effect by the design and placement of the pockets. Traditional jean styles seem to treat the pockets as entirely utilitarian with little thought to how they accentuate the figure while skinny jean pockets are specially designed to make your backside look more shapely and smaller. The pockets have no designs to make the butt seem wider than it is and they’re also placed higher so as to not make the legs appear shorter and are large enough that they won’t make the butt seem larger in comparison.
