Mindy White, lead singer of rock band States, sure is looking festive in her latest band promo shoot. Wearing gold skinny jeans covered in sequins; the vocalist from Nashville has shown us the Christmas season isn’t just about fur and the colour red. It is also a time to get all glamed up and step out head to toe in sequins! Who is the designer of these glamours jeans, I hear you ask. Well that would be Siwy. Having launched in 2005 Siwy seems to be popular for jeans, with musicans such as Ke$ha, Avril Lavigne, Lilly Allen and many more, being photographed wearing them.
In a recent interview, Mindy said: “It’s very hard for my to find jeans that I love, and I found Siwy jeans. And they fit me so well that I was looking on the site to get some more jeans, and I saw that she had these sequined pants. And I was like ‘those would be so perfect for stage’. So I emailed them and I asked them what colors they had, and she told me all these colors, and I was like ‘I want them all!’ I’ve never seen them anywhere else. I think she’s literally the only designer making them in different colors. That was a couple seasons ago, but I hope she keeps making more because I wanna keep rocking them.”
However retailing at the price of $218.00 (approximately £140.00) not all of us can afford this lavish buy, so here are some cheaper high street alternatives for this Christmas!
1. These studded skinny jeans can be found from Topshop for £70.00. With gems on the front of the jeans and a side zip fastening, they are perfect to dance the night away over the Christmas season! Not to mention catch people’s eye.

Here is a simple set by set guild on how to ‘dress up’ and really stand out.
