Lycra is a synthetic fibre renowned for its extreme elasticity, is is also sometimes called Elastane or Spandex. Basically the difference in names is branding, chemically the products are very similar.

CJ Jeans
Cookie Johnson says her line of premium blue jeans offers a versatile fit for women who have "real" bodies - those who are not necessarily stick-thin. The jeans are designed with a roomier fit in the seat and the thighs, to allow a more comfortable fit for women who are curvy. Johnson says the project was not created solely for financial purposes - she simply became frustrated when she was trying to find a pair of jeans that fit her the right way. Johnson's husband, Magic Johnson, says he's very supportive of his wife's new fashion efforts. Cookie Johnson says each different fit is named after "Godly" attributes and values - including love, faith, grace and truth.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaqgJKg2fog

How to Look Great in Skinny Jeans
If you are thin, most skinny jean styles will fit you well. Look for a low waistline (but avoid major plumber's butt). A good way for leaner girls to wear them is with short boots, either flat or with a low heel. A dramatic belt will help your jeans flatter you, and create a nice curve at the hips and buttocks. Black or dark brown belts with gold or silver-colored studs are trendy right now, and fit well with the skinny-jeans look. You may also cuff your jeans at the bottom for a capri-type look.

How to shop for Flattering Jeans
You've determined your body shape, selected the best type and rise of jeans. The only thing left is to try them on. Never leave the store without trying on several pairs of jeans by different designers. The fact is that not every designer is going to make your size fit the same. What may fit loose with one designer, may fit perfectly with another. Be prepared and walk into the dressing room with at least four pairs of different jeans in the same size. In the dressing room, even if you are with a friend, try to choose a room with three way mirrors. Three way mirrors give you an uninhibited view of your front, sides and back. Be sure to check for: 1.Fit: If you have to choose between a pair of jeans that's slightly too large or one that is slightly too snug, go with the one that has a slightly snugger fit. Jeans will relax as you wear them, and saggy jeans will detract from your figure. 2.Length: Make sure your jeans aren't too long or short. The perfect length for jeans is ¼ inch from the floor. 3.Move around. The whole purpose of wearing jeans is to be casually comfortable. Try sitting, crossing your legs and moving about. Make sure the jeans feel comfortable, nonrestrictive and natural.
