Skinny jeans got their name because of their slim, tapered fit, but Hello! Skinny Jeans take on a double meaning -- the people behind this brand claim their skinny jeans actually make you look thinner.

Featured on the 'Tyra Show' and 'Oprah,' the pants have a high nylon/elastane content and a "scooped-out" thigh area, all of which apparently gives the appearance of thinner legs, a tighter stomach and a more shapely butt. The jeans retail for about $178.

Are you buying the company's claims. Or their jeans?
