Why I Can Finally Understand The Topshop Jeans Hype...

Ever since I first happened upon the whole online Blogging/Vlogging community, there has always been this massive hype surrounding Topshop jeans. Whatever the shape, style or design - everyone loves them, raves about them and wears them on the reg'. Up until now, I was yet to jump on the bandwagon; opting for other, cheaper brands - with the mentality that 'the Topshop ones can't be that much better'. However, after so many consecutive occasions over the past few years of buying said more affordable jeans which in the end, I wasn't completely happy with, this year I finally decided to bite the bullet and try out the ones from Topshop. I caved, ok?

Personally, the majority of the time I am a skinny jeans kinda gal. And when I say skinny, I mean super-skinny. Yanno those kinds of jeans where they're so skin-tight you feel like the circulation may be cut off from your legs at any moment and you're left wondering just how you're gonna be able to take them off at the end of the day? Yeah, they're the ones. I remember years back when I must have been in my early teens I had a pair of skinnies from New Look's Generation range which I loved as they were exactly that. I wore them constantly and when it came to finally letting them go, it's safe to say I was a little bit heartbroken. Looking back, even more so now, with pretty much every pair of skinny jeans I have had since never managing to quite match up to them. It seems in recent years that I can find a pair of skinnies easily, but getting a pair which is actually skinny-skinny all the way down to the ankles is a completely different ball game. I've tried to make do and convince myself to like each pair I bought, but this year felt like the turning point when I finally figured that I should probably just give the Topshop Joni Jeans a go.

Alongside being one of the most talked-about and popular style of jeans in this 'ere online world, they also sounded on paper just like what I wanted. Really high-waisted and stretchy with a super skinny effect which hugs your frame - they certainly ticked all the boxes in theory. As I said, I resolved that it was best to just take the plunge and try them out and you know what? I couldn't be more chuffed. They are everything they claim to be and more and I love them. They cling to my figure with no baggy or loose areas and while they are very skinny; the soft, stretchy fabric means they aren't uncomfortable to wear at all. I picked them up in the classic Black - a staple which I am always going to get the most use out of - but I'm already mulling over what hue/design to add to my collection next...
