Diesel in 2008: The Yoka Jean

If this look catches on, the muffin top will be a thing of the past, which we can’t complain about!

Diesel releases for 2008 the Yoka jean.  This effect screams “look what I have just thrown on”.  It’s an oversized jean with a paper bag waist that cinches.  Large pleats are placed with a wide denim sash tie to create a new center of focus on the waist as the focal point. 

The higher waist came back in 2007, and this look has a 1940′s glam feel mixed with a little 1980′s fun going on - so this look just might catch on!  What do you think?  It’s definitely figure-forgiving for those of us with tiny waists and more junk in the trunk!

Finally a pair of jeans that look a bit different!! They can invade my closet anytime. I love all the 1940’s cinched waists and its so cool that I can get the look in denim. Just when I’ve dieted and debauched my way to svelte thighs I finally have the excuse to embrace my curves again.

Men have got in on the act too. We like them large – the pleats that is. They have quite a sporty vibe ‘teamed’ with the polo-shirt! I’m sure they’ll be a welcome change from the second-skin denim guys have been. Its definitely time to gather round the boys…”
