Okay, first let’s talk about how good these look. Now, I understand that this is a fit model, but I’ve seen a lot of ill-fitting jeans even on a model. The jean above is the ‘Photo Ready’ cut, a higher-waisted style that will hit everyone just right.

So what makes this jean look so good compared to every other jean on the market. Well, a key to any tight jean is the stretch. But as far as jeans go, most skinnies will have some lycra to give you wiggle room and better fit. The difference with J Brand is the premium weight of the denim. The 11.75 ounce denim paired with just 2% lycra is structured to contour and lift without stretching out.

J Brand is my champion jean because it’s no frills. This is a real butt, not a model’s, above. The pockets are angled in, the seaming is flawless. There are no unnecessary details. And by 2014, everyone should realize that bling on your butt is never a good idea.
