    Smile Skinny Jeans for guys? Love or hate?

    They play a key role in many a skin's wardrobe, but a lot of people associate them with the majority white, bourgeois hipster subculture today. Personally, I love them. How about you?



    ^ My favorite pair. Not exactly skinny...slim straight.

    Thats not skinny jeans imo. I like those, btw.

    These are skinny jeans imo, I don't like these:




    But then again...I don't have to wear them. And if somebody feels happy with them then more power to them I also will not deny that there are some people that can actually pull them off (no pun intended...) quite well. Then again....some of my non skinny jeans seem to be getting skinnier...it might be my washing skills...at least...I hope so

    Straight leg jeans as in the OP are okay and skinny jeans can look okay depending on who is wearing them and how they're wearing them. I think they're better suited to a woman's body though because they look really good on a curvy figure.
    "Her development, her freedom, her independence must come from and through herself. First, by asserting herself as a personality, and not as a sex commodity. Second, by refusing the right to anyone over her body; by refusing to bear children unless she wants them; by refusing to become a servant to God, the State, society, the husband, the family, etc. ... by freeing herself from the fear of public opinion and public condemnation. Only that, and not the ballot, will set woman free, will make her a force hitherto unknown in the world, a force for real love, for peace, for harmony; a force of divine fire, of life-giving; a creator of free men and women."

    I don't even know what hipsters are. I thought they were trousers like Robert Plant wore in the 1970s. But I'm an '80s kid so I still wear skinny jeans even though I'm rather more than 40 so probably shouldn't.

    I see.

    No, I don't associate skinny jeans with people that look like this...... I associate them with Echo and the Bunnymen, Joy Division, the Jesus and Mary Chain, the Sisters of Mercy, the Psychedelic Furs and other '70s/'80s bands that I used to listen to in the '80s.

    I understand skinny jeans to be tight jeans. Tight jeans are oppressive instruments of Trouser Tyranny.

    I don't get the fashion trend behind skinny jeans.

    I don't like the look of them, and I reckon they'd constrict my balls too much. Skinny jeans look great on a woman, and if you'll forgive me, especially a woman with a nice derriere.

    I don't even own a pair of jeans of any description. A truly ghastly item of clothing...
