Since I practically live in jeans, and fall is not getting any further away, I thought it best that I start my search for great-fitting, stylish, ethically-made denim. Let’s face it, when it comes between caring about the good of the world and how your butt looks in your jeans, it’s a toss-up. So, my goal is not having to choose between the two. I decided to start with the ever-popular skinnies, which are essential with boot-season right around the corner. Here are a few winners that go above and beyond in both style and philosophy.
The Second Yoga Jeans at Not Just Pretty are like a dream come true. They are completely constructed in North America using specially formulated treatments for a unique finish. Not only do they fit like a glove, they give you the comfort and flexibility of yoga pants, without causing you to look like you’ve given up on life. Win-win!
The Global Jeans by REUSE Jeans gives you the style and fit of designer denim, yet it uses 80% recycled fabric in their manufacturing. So, the fit is easy on your figure, the construction is easy on your conscience, and the price is easy on your wallet.
Rather than traditional cotton, the Supa-Skinny Jeans by Monkee Genes swings out on a limb by offering jeans made of soft, smooth bamboo. These jeans are made to become an extension of you, not only in fit and feel, but also in the ethics with which they’re made.
And there you have it – jeans your butt and your brain can be proud of!
