‘They hold in and support the quadriceps (thigh muscles), buttocks and core muscles in your tummy, and do the job the muscles are supposed to do.

“紧身牛仔裤紧裹股四头肌(大腿肌肉)、臀部肌肉和腹部肌肉，代替了肌肉本该发挥的作用。

‘As a result, the muscles are allowed to relax and switch off, so when we reveal our bodies for the first time as summer approaches, they are not as svelte or firm as they otherwise would be.’

THEY TRIGGER A BUILD-UP OF PRESSURE

紧身裤对身体产生压力

Skinny jeans are particularly tight around the stomach, hips, knees and ankles, causing a build up of pressure in these areas, if they are worn for a long time, Ms Margo noted.

马戈女士指出，紧身牛仔裤在腹部、臀部、膝盖和脚踝这些部位特别紧，如果长时间穿对这些部位会造成很大的压力。

'If you do a lot of squatting over a prolonged period of time in skinny jeans, there is therefore an increased risk of damaging the muscles and nerves in the leg, known as compartment syndrome.
