\"\"<\/span><\/p>

Mom jeans<\/a>, bell bottoms and even your boyfriend\u2019s loose-fitting pieces\u00a0have tried to compete in the denim competition, but, as hard as they try, they\u2019ll never reach the versatility of\u00a0skinny jeans. Bestowed with the divine power of matching impeccably with any top in the universe, these fitting and flattering bottoms remain chic and effortlessly trendy. Rock them to the office or flaunt them at a party \u2013 there\u2019s nothing these closet staples can\u2019t do.<\/p>

WHERE THE DANGER STARTS<\/span> <\/h2>

That is, except for one thing: they can\u2019t save your back for nuts. Affirmed by the British Chiropractic Association (BCA), these jeans are notorious\u00a0when it comes to\u00a0your posture<\/a>'s well-being<\/strong>. Securing themselves tightly around your legs, these skinnies restrict free movement of your hips and legs<\/strong>, which influences the way you walk and hold your body. Sure, you carry yourself more confidently, but your back\u2019s self-esteem is jettisoning with every step.<\/p>

Now, we\u2019re not playing around here. And neither were the skinny jeans of a 35-year-old Adelaide woman, which sent her to the hospital. Those sinister pants strangled her legs so tightly that they cut off blood supply<\/strong>, causing her to collapse as her legs went stone cold numb. She spent the next four days in the hospital, suffering from muscle<\/a>, nerve and kidney damage<\/strong>. Appalled? So were we.<\/p>

WHAT NOW?<\/span> <\/h2>

Before the alarm bells go off and havoc breaks loose, let us assure you that no one\u2019s taking away your skinny jeans. They can still go on your legs and see the light of day, but just remember the golden rule of moderation<\/strong>. You should wear them, minimally, once every other day to give your back and legs a break<\/strong>.<\/p>

We suppose mom jeans and bell bottoms are finally catching up in the competition.<\/p>
