Skinny Jeans

so, i was just browsing around some websites looking for some jeans and i started reading articles about skinny jeans. apparently, they are going out of style but holy smoke, there are like full fledged internet wars about these things - about jeans!?!

basically, the bulk of the arguments come down to these:

average size american and/or overweight woman: "i hate skinny jeans and i wish this trend would go away. i can't wear them because they make me look like an ice cream cone! anyway, they only look good on models and portray, yet again, an unrealistic body image! death to all you skinny b$tch@s!"

thin woman: "i love my skinny jeans! my legs look good AND for the first time ever, i actually look like i have an a$$! all you fata$$ chicks need to stop stuffing your face with ice cream cones so that maybe you won't resemble them."

ah...women. anyway,...i realize this is not a sophisticated topic but f@ck it, i'm gonna ask anyway: what do you all think? do you wear them? do you love or loathe them?

Im not a female. I personally think that they look good on girls and I dont think you have to be super skinny to wear them. Guys wearing them though geez what are they thinking they look like idiots.
 
totally feel you -- i don't think you gotta be a rail to wear them. and, it might sound unbelievable but i actually do know guys who can rock them aight, but not many...

wtf? :eek:

IS that a guy?:eek2:
 
I'm a guy and I'd actually rather have my girl wear a bit more baggy pants. I love nothing more than sweatpants, mainly because they just law themselves over the curves nicely instead of just smacking on tight. And it's way easier to get your hand inside sweatpants than those tight jeans :D
 
yeah, it's a dude, but basically the worst picture i could find of a guy wearing skinny pants! haha...i think it's from some dior runway show.

shocking and disturbing all at the same time! :D

It depends on your body type. If you are rail thin with very minimal muscle tone, I guess they are ok. If you are more muscular you can forget it, they just don't fit right. I hate the super low rise skinny pants especially because I am sorry but some things are better left to the imagination.
 
Totally agree with Jenn.

It's not just the "fatties" that can't wear skinny jeans, but pretty much any grown woman who has a.)given birth &/or b.)any muscle on her.

I don't even see them as flattering on the super skinny girls. They make a skinny girl look downright anorexic.

As for the ultra low-rise jeans? If you weigh over 90lbs, the mid-rise are much more flattering. For those of you who like to wear the ultra low rise----look at your butt in the mirror. Those things take even really small hips/butt and make them look flatter and wider, and almost always create some "muffin top"---they basically destroy a feminine hour-glass shape.
 
i totally understand where you ladies are coming from! but...i gotta admit, i sport the skinny jeans.

i'm not skinny by any means and i actually do have a good amount of muscle and a butt. i tried on a pair once last year and i looked like a sausage. it was not a good experience (almost as traumatizing as bikini shopping).

but, i recently tried on some skinny jeans again and i actually found some that do look good. i was nervous to wear them at first because they didn't really seem to fit into my style and i didn't want to fool myself into believing that i looked good when i didn't. but now i love them.

btw, the third picture (from my initial post) aren't low rise and that model has a little meat on her thighs -- those jeans are probably stretch. anyway, i think her legs look pretty hot. in fact, i think muscle actually looks better in skinny jeans than just skinny legs.
 
ahhh... I hate skinny jeans.. i have enough trouble with jeans as it is.. just about the only jeans i find that fit me in the waist and then around my behind and legs are apple bottoms.. and people look at me funny when i wear them.

i do have a friend who loves her skinny jeans.. i do not think it is flattering to say the least.
 
I hate them. I think they look ridiculous on anyone who wears them. I can't wait until they go out of style. I have the body type that most people say could pull them off, but I refuse to make myself look ridiculous for the sake of fashion. I don't know what it is about them. It just looks like the people wearing them couldn't take the time to find their correct pant size. I'm a fan of the boot-cut myself. It's a much more balanced look. Honestly, unless your calves are the same width as you butt, you will look like an ice cream cone.
 
wow, so outside of jenn (who thinks that some people can pull them off), it seems like i'm the only woman who likes them! yikes!

do you all think those three models look bad (from my initial post)?
