최근 국내에서 유행하기 시작한 스키니 진(skinny jean)은 혈액순환 장애, 하복부 장기에 가해지는 압력으로 인하여 소화불량, 변비 또는 생리불순 등 여성 건강을 위협하는 의복 종류이다. 본 연구의 목적은 의복의 쾌적성을 측정할 수 있는 척도인 의복압 검사와 스키니 진의 주관적인 착용감 검사 통하여 의복의 기능적인 면에서 인체의 건강에 적합한지 분석하고자 함이다. 사이즈 코리아를 참고하여 선정한 20대 여성의 평균 사이즈에 해당하는, 인지도 높은 3개 브랜드의 청바지를 시료로 사용하여 4명의 피험자에게 착용하게 한 후, 동작을 변화시키며 변화하는 의복압을 측정하고 주관적 감각 평가를 실시하였다. 첫째, 의복압 측정결과, 엉덩이 최대 돌출 부위가 자세와 상관없이 의복압이 가장 높게 나왔고 무릎 부위 Standing 자세에서 sitting down on the floor 자세로 변할수록 의복압이 높게 나왔다. 둘째, 주관적 감각에 대한 평가 결과는 모든 자세에서 허리벨트 부위가 가장 압박감을 크게 느끼는 것으로 나타났다. 의복압과 주관적 감각의 관계분석에 있어서 스키니 진의 대부분의 부위에서 의복압이 높을수록 압박감을 느끼는 것으로 나타났으나 대퇴부 부위는 의복압이 낮은데도 불구하고 압박감을 크게 느끼는 것으로 나타났다.

1990년대 이후 스키 인구는 성장추세를 보여 왔으나, 현재 포화상태에 도달했다고 판단된다. 본 연구에서는 스키 참가자의 레크리에이션 전문화 수준 향상이 위기에 봉착한 스키산업의 돌파구로서 작용할 수 있다고 판단하고, 레크리에이션 전문화에 부정적인 영향을 미친다고 보고된 여가제약 요인을 실증적으로 제시하고 스키 참가자의 레크리에이션 전문화 수준별 여가제약 요인의 특징을 규명했다. 스키 참가자의 여가제약은 동반자, 개인적, 경제, 타인의식, 여건, 시설의 6개 요인으로 나타났다. 레크리에이션 전문화 수준별 여가제약 요인의 평균을 비교해본 결과 레크리에이션 전문화 수준이 낮은 집단에서는 경제적 요인, 레크리에이션 전문화 수준이 중간인 집단과 높은 집단에서는 시설요인이 가장 높은 수준으로 나타났다. 여가제약 요인별 레크리에이션 전문화 수준에 따른 여가제약 수준의 차이를 분석해본 결과 모든 요인에서 유의미한 차이가 나타났다.

Contemporary young people reveal their own personal values through the fashion that creates visual looks. Since 2000s began, young generations who are self-centered, value their own personality and constantly seek for changes form the main axis of fashion. In particular, the lower half of the body that has begun to be exposed outward has become the region that they want to expose as more ideal region than the upper half of the body. Further, young generations always have interest in fashion, and female college students in their early 20s are regarded as the group that values the aspects of pleasure that involve clothes and tends to seek sensibility when purchasing clothes. With this background, this study aims to examine how the styles that apply to modern fashion and recent vogues are evaluated with a focus on skinny jean from jean pants styles preferred by female college students. Materials regarding theoretical background and photos were collected from fashion related magazines at home and abroad and from the Internet websites. Questionnaires were surveyed for 160 female college students aged 20 or 25 who live in Seoul, and the results show as follows: Many female college students enjoy skinny jean and follow the fashion. However there are consumers who cling to their own styles even in the fashion of skinny jen. Ironically, some consumers wear it although they consider it as an item that does not fit Koreans: they tend to consider perspectives from others rather than their own preferences. For example, they wear it in order to show it to their boy friends or because they want themselves to look slim. In addition consumers seem to use Dongdaemun Shopping Mall or Internet shopping malls that provide various and low-priced items rather than to use high-priced famous products. It is considered that this result is shown as above because the scope of the study was restricted to female college students in their 20s. Accordingly, it is suggested that further studies should extend their subjects to wider range of ages.

This study examines wearing conditions of skinny jeans for women in their 20's. The study is based on a questionnaire survey. The survey was conducted on 313 Korean 20's women living in Gwangju to analyze wearing dissatisfaction with skinny jeans. The final analysis included 298 responses and the content of the questionnaire consisted of 28 questions. The study used descriptive statistics for analysis using SPSS Statistics 20.0. According to the questionnaire survey, 20's women are the largest group that wear skinny jeans and they have a positive image of them. However, they do not know the exact size for skinny jeans, whereas they are knowledgeable about their general pants size. The results of the survey on the state of wearing dissatisfaction indicate that they think that the difference in size by each brand is the most difficult part when choosing skinny jeans and they felt lower body uncomfortableness in the waist and abdominal positions. It means that size subdivision and pattern development of skinny jeans should be suitable to all lower body types to resolve wearing dissatisfaction. This study represents base data for size subdivision and pattern development of skinny jeans.

The recent craze for so-called skinny jeans is illustrative of the restraint of the body through dress. This phenomenon is noteworthy when considering the internalization of the corset in contemporary fashion. Grown out of the garments of soundly practical use, blue jeans have led the stream of fashion for about 150 years and now they serve as the new corset idealizing the female body in the form of skinny jeans. This study intends to examine the idealization of the body in contemporary fashion and focus on skinny jeans as an externalized corset. The struggle with corsets continues in that the real body is overwhelmed by fashion items. In the aspect of idealizing the body by constraining the body parts, skinny jeans externalize the control of the body as contemporary corsets. This study conducts literature research and content analysis as the method of investigation and focuses on women's fashion from the 20th century. Exerting a harmful influence on health (as corsets have done) the body in skinny jeans is regarded as a modifiable entity. The thinness of the body achieved by skinny jeans suggests the controlling power over the body. Moreover, this gives access to the power presented by the contemporary ideal of thinness. Skinny jeans are modern day glass slippers.

This study analyzed the effects of skinny jean on women's health by questionnaire survey and measuring the pressure experienced under the clothing and participants' subjective view of the pressure level. The average size women in their 20s' waists is 26 inches and so three pairs of jeans were prepared and worn by 4 female participants. A survey was conducted to investigate how often participants wear skinny jeans and whether they had had any feelings of discomfort as a result of this. Participants responded that they hadexperienced middle to high levels of discomfort due to the high pressure inside skinny jeans. For the maximum value of clothing pressures, jean f2 at the part of buttocks showed $48.7gf/cm^2$. The pressure inside the clothing was found to be highest around the buttocks followed by the knees and finally the belly. The mean values of 7 measuring parts are different according to the jean type; f3 $20.8gf/cm^2$ > f2 $16.4gf/cm^2$ > f1 $15.5gf/cm^2$, which is corresponding to the order of pressure sensation, but not corresponding to the order of ease amount of clothing pattern: f2 > f3 > f1. Mean pressure values were also measured according to the body posture: they were found to by highest when sitting on a chair (21.3gf/$cm^2$), second highest when sitting on the floor ($19.2gf/cm^2$) and lowest when standing ($15.0gf/cm^2$). This is not always same to the order of participants subjective perceptions of the pressure, which is, they estimated pressure to be highest when sitting on the floor followed by sitting on a chair and lowest in a standing position.

This study investigates the effects of appearance-relative behaviors of adolescent female consumers on their awareness of heath harmfulness and skinny jeans purchasing behaviors and identifies the influential variables on the wearing satisfaction of skinny jeans. A survey was carried out with middle and high school female students and 386 responses were analyzed using descriptive analysis, factor analysis, a reliability test, and regression analysis. The results of this study were as follows, 1) From the results of the factor analysis on appearance-related behaviors and clothing benefits of skinny jeans for female adolescents, each of the variance assessments clearly showed factorial structures. 2) As a result of looking at the influences of appearance-relative behaviors on the clothing benefits of skinny jeans, respondents who paid more attention to their appearance tended to consider hygiene and activity comfort less important. In addition, respondents who had higher fashion concerns tended to consider aesthetic, practicability, desired trend, and activity comfort more important. 3) Respondents who had higher fashion concerns and considered activity comfort more important among skinny jeans benefits showed a higher level of satisfaction when wearing skinny jeans. However, respondents who thought aesthetic and health hygiene more important when buying skinny jeans showed a lower level of satisfaction when wearing skinny jeans. Female adolescents showed less satisfaction when wearing skinny jeans, as they perceived harmfulness about skinny jeans more.
