When it comes to shoes (as everything does), I must admit I have something of a passion for boots. In fact, I never quite feel comfortable unless I’m wearing boots… Be it out in the street, in a bar or even lounging around at home – I have boots for every conceivable situation and I love them all. What I don’t love, however, is attempting to put my boots on whilst wearing trousers – especially jeans. You must know what I mean; you pull you trouser-leg taut, tug on the first few inches of boots and, immediately, your jeans start bunching up… The futher you pull the boot on, the more the jeans bunch and so the cycle continues until you’re left looking like an extra from Pirates of Penzance!

This cannot be allowed to continue! The women of the world cannot be forced to suffer this trial every time they want to wear their favourite boots. HENCE, we are proud to bring these to your attention – jean straps!

When first I heard of the Jean Straps phenomena, I thought it was a new designer (French accent, Jean Strapes), but then I realised it was something far, far better. Stirrups, for lack of a better word, which you simply clip around your calf, holding you jeans taut and tight beneath your boots. In short – no more bunching! What’s more, they’re under a tenner to buy, yet will save you hours of faffing and years you’d otherwise lose to stress! Totally simple, totally effective and totally discrete. Perfect.

I support the jean straps movement 100%. Find them here, at Jean Straps.
