Aussie denim brand goes viral for jeans you can actually squat in - and they're under $150

Finding jeans that actually fit used to feel like a full-time job.
You'd try on five pairs, leave with one (maybe), and still have to visit your tailor just to stop that dreaded back gap.
But DEVENI, an Australian-born brand launched by Sydney couple Dan and Beth, is putting an end to the tugging, pinching and pin-rolling once and for all.
Built around the idea that your clothes should work with your body, not against it, DEVENI makes stretch denim that fits like a glove and feels like activewear. And yes, you can actually squat in them.
Designed with different body types in mind, DEVENI offers jeans for men and women that accommodate curves, athletic builds, shorter legs and everything in between for just $129.
Women's styles come in two lengths, 27 inches (short) and 30 inches (regular), in skinny or wide-leg cuts.
You can choose from Washed Light Blue, Washed Grey, Black or Dark Blue depending on your vibe.
Men have the choice of Skinny Fit or Slim Tapered, with the same thoughtful colour and length options.
Sizes run from XS to XL for women and 28 to 36 inches for men.
Magic in the stretch
This isn't your average stiff, sit-down-and-hold-your-breath denim.
DEVENI jeans move with you, not against you, thanks to a clever athleisure-inspired fabric that's as comfortable as your favourite leggings, without looking like them.
The brand's hero feature is The DEVENI FIT KIT, a small but genius detail that makes all the difference.
For $0 shipping, customers receive a tape measure and a step-by-step guide to find their perfect size at home.
No guesswork, no returns, no buyer's remorse. Plus, you get that money back as a discount on your next order.
Consider it tailoring without the tailor, or the extra cost.
Founders of DEVENI
Dan and Beth created DEVENI out of frustration. Beth, like many women, was tired of waist gaps that made her feel uncomfortable and unrepresented by mainstream sizing.
Dan, with his muscular frame and shorter legs, could never find trousers that didn't drown him. Instead of settling, they built a brand that's now helping others feel good in their clothes too.
The pair self-funded DEVENI and are quietly growing a loyal fanbase that cares less about logos and more about fit, function and feeling like yourself.
As for what's next, a full wardrobe of made-to-fit staples is in the works, and here's hoping they'll extend sizing beyond a 36 men's and XL women's while they're at it.

Circular Fashion Festival: Celebration of sustainable fashion a Perth first to showcase local champions

Western Australia's biggest celebration of sustainable style is set to take place at Perth's first Circular Fashion Festival, announced today. Running October 10 to 12 at Yagan Square, the free event will showcase local champions of sustainable fashion with a jam-packed program of runways, markets, pop-up activations, speaker panels and a second-hand shopping trail in the city centre. 'The festival is a chance for people to take part in the circular fashion movement in a way that feels easy, and showing it can be just as stylish and desirable as mainstream retail,' said festival co-founder Hazel Law. Australia's fashion consumption crisis is no secret — headlines swirled in May 2024 when the nation overtook the US to become the world's largest consumer of textiles per capita. On average, each Australian purchases 56 new clothing items a year. Circular fashion aims to change that, by creating a system where the lifespan of resources is maximised, and garments are kept in use for as long as possible to reduce waste. A prime example of circular fashion is a masterpiece by local textile artist and fashion designer Madelyn Jane set to be on display during the festival. Jane spent hundreds of hours creating the pictured wearable art piece, aptly named Coffee Queen, entirely from recycled materials including thousands of coffee pods and deadstock fabric. 'It's about shifting mindsets — seeing waste not as something to throw away, but as a resource full of creative potential,' the Curtin University fashion graduate said. Festival co-founder and sustainable fashion advocate Charlie Smith said Perth is in its 'fashion renaissance' and the Circular Fashion Festival is an opportunity to showcase the scene's growing commitment to sustainability and community. 'It's about re-education, not shaming the consumer. When we empower people with knowledge and positive experiences, that's when they're able to make meaningful change,' Smith said. There will be a number of events hosted in the lead up to the festival, including a Circular Fashion Exhibition in Raine Square from September 1 to 28, featuring designs by the next generation of local designers and innovative sustainable materials.

Aussie star Nicole Kidman's move to Portugal could anger local residents

Australian actress Nicole Kidman's reported interest in buying property at a luxury European resort could cause more local anger. Residents and some tourists claim a new development at the famous CostaTerra Golf & Ocean Club is destroying the beachfront area of Portugal. Babygirl star Kidman has applied for a residence permit to the country's Agency for Integration, Migration and Asylum, local media reported on July 22. 'The Australian actress has been in Lisbon since Sunday after landing at Tires airfield in Cascais,' Portuguese media outlet SIC Notícias said. It claimed the reason for the visit to Portugal was related to the purchase of a home in the luxury CostaTerra Golf & Ocean Club. The private golf club is part of a luxury residential development by Discovery Land Company. The 310ha property will consist of a golf course, beach club, spa and dining. It is also set to have 300 homes, with prices starting at $7.4 million. The area is known as 'The Hamptons of Portugal' thanks to its celebrity visitors, including Hollywood actor George Clooney who has reportedly shopped for homes in the area. The Hamptons is a seaside resort in the US popular with the rich and famous. Last year, The Mirror reported Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were also looking to purchase a property at CostaTerra Golf & Ocean Club. The Daily Express revealed while the private resort is a favourite among the wealthier visitors to Portugal, locals and visitors have vented their frustration about changes to the area as a result of the new development. The resort's Google reviews have been flooded with angry comments. 'Costa Terra: a private playground for millionaires who arrive by helicopter, dine with private chefs and bulldoze everything that made this coast real,' one person commented. 'Public beaches? Locked down. Protected land? Flattened for golf courses. Local communities? Pushed aside and priced out. 'Eco-luxury'? A cruel joke dressed up in greenwash.' 'It's just terrible, they destroyed this beautiful place trying to privatise the area and then ... nothing ... At least give us the camping back, there's space for everyone,' another said. 'Worst decision ever to build this. I used to visit the beach here, now they have blocked the access.' When news broke about Kidman submitting her paperwork to the country's immigration agency, reports revealed her husband Keith Urban's name was not on the application. However, The New York Post understands the country music star was not mentioned in any paperwork because he was unable to break away from touring at the time.
