The Long Awaited Siwy Hannah Crop!
Dedicated to Cordelia…my “Siwy sibling” who is responsible for my new obsession.
Upon first discovering the Siwy Hannah phenomenon striking fashion icons like Kate Moss, Rachel Bilson and Sienna Miller, I immediately fell into a state of hopelessness…how could jeans that fit them so perfectly possibly flatter my short legs, long torso and flat butt?
Then I met Cordelia…a self proclaimed shorty who reassured me the Hannahs fit all kinds of body types and have a magical way of lifting and shaping the butt. Sold!
I decided to go with the Kiss color because I wanted to add a lighter denim into my wardrobe circulation for spring and summer.
In trying to track down the right size and color (and a possible coupon code), I connected with Jeanette of ShopManhattanite.com who not only helped me pick the right size but she also hooked me up with their latest coupon code for 20% off and free shipping!
With thirty minutes left in UPS’s workday on the scheduled delivery date, I started watching from my balcony for a big brown truck to stop in front of my building. Tick tock tick tock…finally! At 6:58 pm, I watched it pull up and bolted down the stairs to pick up my precious Siwy Hannahs!
The Verdict…
Though it’s not apparent on my face, I LOVE THEM! More deets on sizing, fit and appearance below.
I typically wear a 25 or 26, and per Cordelia’s and Jeanette’s recommendations, I ordered a 26. After trying them on and doing a few lunges, I’m confident 26 is the best size for me.
If you’re going for a looser look, I’d definitely go up a size or two.
They are super tight at first, but after a couple hours of wear, they start to give a little to the shape of your body.
Usually skeptical about smaller pockets given they tend to create a mom-butt, I’m very satisfied with the look and fit of my backside in the jeans.
My only nit has nothing to do with the actual jeans…but I have extraordinarily long calves and the tightness through the legs makes me feel like I have “porky-pig syndrome” if I’m not wearing heels. Na na na na no big deal folks!

Fabulous! It’s exactly what I thought it would be and perfect for spring and summer.

Looks fabulous on you. Hm… I might have to check it out. I am always looking for a good pair of jeans and goods jeans are always so elusive.
They look incredible! And you have the most amazing collection of shoes
they look amazing on you and I love how you have them paired with the nude aldo heels. I just got my black ones in the mail this week, it seriously needs to stop raining so I can wear them out!
