Skinny jeans look uncomfortable on men, especially the super tight ones in my opinion. I wear skinny jeans myself, my usual outfit is skinny jeans, flats and a t-shirt

I feel the exact same way. Really do not like loose pants, unless they are pajamas.

I just buy skinny jeans 1 size bigger than usual ones.

Same here, I like them, then again I am skinny and tall, they seem made for me when I get the right size.

I wear regular fit with boot leg (because I wear boots). My hips are too hip-like and my ass is too flat for skinny jeans. If I'm wearing my ballet flats, I'll just turn up the cuff of my jeans so the hem doesn't drag on the ground.

I have a pair of dress pants that have sewn in spandex-like leggings that hug the skin while the actual pant is loose and flowwy. Those are my favorite dressy pants.

My daughter likes skinny jeans. She's 9, though.

Skinny jeans are the only jeans I like to wear, I hate the feeling of the thick fabric being loose around my calves and feet. That really annoys me for some reason, I think it's the rubbing of the loose fabric on my legs. Hate it.

I usually buy a size or two up from what I really am so that they're not skin tight though. Personally I like the style.

I tried wearing skinny jeans once, and my calf was as big as the hole for the thigh, so I decided against it. I'm not slim but not heavy either (5' 5", 150 lbs) and I'm just not comfortable with wearing anything too tight around my legs.
I love bootcut jeans, but they simply do not flatter me at all. They tend to cling to my hips and thighs so I look really round. I go with Lee's relaxed straight leg because they skim my thighs, highlight my waist, and still give my legs some breathing room.
The only problem I have is, I am between a short length and a medium length jean, so it bunches a little funny. However, if that's my biggest problem, I don't care.

Exactly. Something about the fabric hanging off my butt really really bothers me.

I am 5 foot 3, 150 lbs. so not skinny! Anyone can wear skinny jeans if they get the proper size.

Though I'm of average size, I don't fathom ever fitting into skinny jeans unless they start making them in plus sizes, in which case the waist would be far too big.

I have big legs.

I can't wear high boots either.

Skinny jeans look very good with tall boots. Unfortunately I have rather chunky, muscular legs for my weight (116 lbs) I can hardly zip up my boots without any pants in them. So I just wear bootcut jeans.

I actually wish more round people would wear them. I like looking at people with properly sized behind and chunky legs. I have a personal paranoia about stability. Anything or anybody with thin spindly legs make me feel nervous. IMO the support structure can't be too sturdy. :D

I find them physically painful. Even not-so-tight jeans are very uncomfortable to me, so I don't wear jeans.

I like them most when they have a high percentage of spandex. They need to have space to acomodate my bum.When I was 10 and 11, I refused to wear jeans and only wore what I called " stretchy pants." I like the fitted look, I'd rather wear clothes that are too tight rather than jeans that keep falling down.

I like the mid or low-rise boot cut cause I don't want any pressure on my abdomen. I can't see ever fitting into anything below 8 even if I starved myself cause of my hips. Don't understand guys in skinny jeans unless their on stage but to each his own.

I had to try on skinny jeans when i was managing a clothes shop and nearly freaked out in the changing room, i couldnt stand them touching my calfs, i generally wear bootcut or flares.

trousers have to be loose aswell or make me angry all day. I also cant wear long sleaved shirts if they are too fitted round my wrists, i have uniform for work and some of the shirts are ok and some of them i have to roll up the sleaves cause it just freaks me out all day.

I generally have to buy a size bigger in alot of clothes or i find myself pulling at them all day just to make them stop touching my skin.

Problem with skinny jeans (or any elastic jean) is their shape wears out after awhile and then they look terrible.

Also, they look better in heels for most of us and that creates it's own set of issues.


Men/boys in skinny jeans- ugh. One of the few fashion trends that makes me think, "I bet there is something really obnoxious about your personality."

I like skinny jeans. They are more comfortable for me (as long as they aren't too tight or thick) and make me look slimmer.
