      I agree tight jeans are...well...super tight.  Why do you need to scale a wall? Additionally, Dr. Dre didn't say that, it was originally on Easy E's song ft.Gangsta Dresta & B.G Knoccout making fun of Dr. Dre and Snoop.

    I don't mind skinny jeans at all. If a guy wants to wear them who cares??
    And why would a guy need to worry about scaling a wall or climbing a fence unless they did something wrong and was running from someone?
    I really don't think skinny jeans reduce your sperm count. And I don't care enough to look it up.

    Some guys can get away with skinny jeans, it shows off their behind, some woman too. What is really gross is a 400 lb person tucked into one.

      You crack me up! 

      Personally, I don't care for the skinny jeans, especially the ones made with stretchy material...  I think they look horrid on most, because they have to be worn sooo tight in order to keep them up.  Now Wranglers... that's a different story.  (No Lycra there!)

    There has to be some balance between the really tight skinny jeans and the ones that are barely hanging on about mid-thigh!

    Skinny jeans are fine on both men and women if they have the bod to do it.  I rather see a guy in tight jeans than always having to look at his boxers or his butt crack.  With them I feel I need to go get them a belt.

      I don't think so.  To me, nothing looks worse than a skinny guy wearing skinny jeans - they just look like weedy nerds.  Usually there is no butt to show off, either.

      Now, if we're talking about a fireman or Hugh Jackman - well, I could make an exception...

    Personally, I think that we should all just wear clothes that fit o.O when I set my army of fashion zombies on the unwitting populace it'll be trained to go after those with jeans tight enough to count pubic hair AND those who are pale from the knees down because their pants are so low their cheeks get more sun than their calves... kinda like inverse shorts or something.

    ... also on that list of things people will get eaten alive for,

    * Ball caps that are just on the very top of their head
    * Faux fur lined coats in areas that have never seen snow
    * Belly shirts on anyone who's stomach overlaps their belt line
    * Cowboy hats on people who don't actually work with livestock
    * Twilight merchandise. Nine tenths of the proceeds come from preteen girls who get all gooey over the idea of a sparkly vampire.

    I am lucky I no longer have to be a slave to fashion . And there Is just something so not masculine about those skinny jeans . I am old school a man should dress like a man . But now I dress for comfort. Except when I have to bust out a suit ! Double breasted no pleats on the pants ! I still like 3 peice suits to a good classic look .

    Skinny jeans I think look ridiculous but I've only seen them on young boys (early teens) so can't be complaining about that, they're still learning.

    The worst to me is what I just saw a few days ago in a store parking lot. A guy who was at least late twenties and likely early thirties got out of his car, messed with his pants, started walking and yanking his pants up - then had to walk with his legs spread about a foot and a half to keep the pants from falling off! And they were falling anyway!

    No surprise that his wife decided to wait in the car...LOL!

      I have tall thin boys, and trying to find jeans that fit them that are not skinny jeans is hard.  Think I am going to look into the extra slim wrangles... not alot different looking than the skinny jeans, but a whole different image (and no spandex).

    Skinny jeans should never be worn by straight men period.  Skinny jeans were never meant for them, and if a guy is wearing them, trust, he's not worrying about his "sperm" count because he's probably not looking to pro-create with a woman. 

    The low hanging jeans are not the hotness either.  Most of those trends are dead...  I'm glad the "White-Tee" or "Nightgown" phase passed a few summers ago... I wanted to pull them down to their feet and tuck it under them and roll them all somewhere for wearing something so silly...  Looking like they raided their grandmother's closets... "Just sayin"...

    it's not skinny jeans, but the WAY u carry them that matters. if u've got the body for it, then wear 'em, I say. if not, avoid at all costs! instead of aping the latest fashion, one should wear what compliments one's body type. u can't go wrong there.

    Yes, Ivorwen, definitely skip the spandex! I was trying to remember why I never had the problem with my boys but it's because NONE of my boys ever wanted to wear jeans. Don't know why. Eventually a girl got involved and bought jeans for them and insisted they wear them so all but the youngest do now. Guess his time is coming..

    What I mean is that a girl PER BOY got involved and dressed them in jeans, it sounded a little odd so thought I'd try to clarify.

    I wasn't too excited to see skinny jeans making a comeback. I just don't like em. Period. Not because they're so tight, but because I don't like that cinched in leg all the way to the ankle. I'm forever a boot-cut fan and pray I can always get em. Bootcut just gives a more slimming look, if you ask me. It's a 70's thing for me. I missed the bells when they went out in the early 80's and was more than glad to see em return in the later 90's.  Straight leg jeans are good, but skinny? Nah.

      EmpressFelicityposted 14 years agoin reply to this

      I'm with you on the bootcuts.  I'm pear-shaped and they're the only jeans that really suit me, especially if they hug the hips well. 

      Skinny jeans look awful on me but for some reason leggings don't, as long as I wear them with a big shirt or tunic.  In fact, that's a much more comfortable outfit for me in the summer than jeans - much less, er, sweaty.

      Now harem pants are in, apparently.  I have only one word for those: "Nooooooooooooo!"

        Didn't MC Hammer used to wear those?  Who decides those pants are "in" anyway?  I also see the ladies wearing the slipper shoes a lot like they did in elementary school.  When did that all of a sudden make a come back?  Now when I walk around at the mall, I feel like I'm constantly watching someone from Flashdnce that beat up MC Hammer and took his pants.

    You know, I can't really say. One wore sweats until I MADE him try something else, he went to dress pants, the softer the better. He hated anything touching him and is still hoping to move to a nudist camp someday. (He's 25 now and so far his wife hasn't agreed)

    Another wore those baggy, brightly decorated pants with velcro closures, no idea what they were called. I think he and one of the others eventually went to Docker-like pants, canvas or something. The youngest prefers the nylon pants, I'm still trying to persuade him into something else; he had to wear dress pants for school for a short while but he's choosing the "soft canvas" pants when he runs out of the nylon ones. Luckily he's outgrown most of them and I usually refuse to buy more.

    I think to each their own.... I'm not one to follow trends personally but I know the reason most do is because they need to feel 'part of the crowd'. I do however despise pants hanging below the waist exposing underwear whether they are tight or baggy......Gross! Thus, I choose not to talk to, date or be seen with anyone wearing them, but by all means if you want to wear them go ahead someone will want you just NOT me.

    My thought is:  IF a male OR female wants to wear skinny jeans, they need to go through an application process (similar to American Idol) to do so.  I believe this should also apply to those who believe they can pull off a thong bikini or very small speados at the beach...well, even in their own living room....LOL.

    Tall and thin females are the only people who should be allowed to wear skinny jeans because honestly they are the one ones who can pull them off, and even then they should be worn with a top that cover there butt. Men should NEVER EVER wear them!!!
