Skinny jeans hovering to comeback in fashion world

The so called skinny jean is hovering to make a comeback in the world of fashion in the US, Lucky fashion director Hope Greenberg said here on April 17.

The style made popular by 1980s punk rockers is getting ready to make a run on the market dominated for years by the boot cut jean.

Stars such as Cameron Diaz, Hilary Duff and Avril Lavigne were all sporting the straight leg, slim fit jeans at Nickelodeons Kids Choice Awards.

"American Idol" contestants Kellie Pickler, Lisa Tucker and Katharine McPhee have all recently been seen on the Fox TV talent competition in the style.

The jeans are only now being featured by mainstream retailers across the US, although designers re-introduced them two years ago.

Further Greenberg said that a year ago skinny jeans couldnt even find them in the mall, and now it has absolutely trickled down as it has experienced an 80 per cent increase in sales since last summer.
