what do you think of skinny jeans? Do you own a pair? Are they not for you? Do you like them on some people but not others or you? Do you think they should go back to the 80's. What is your opinion on skinny jeans? For me I own 3 pairs of skinny jeans. I only like the jean type on me not the bright colored ones. I think they look good on some people but not others. So what do you think of skinny jeans? Share your opinion here.

Just yesterday my wife convinced me for us to buy a new pair of skinny jeans, so we did. Its nice on her, though she has 3 other pairs. Skinny jeans are actually good for slim people, not that fat people can't wear it but it looks better fitted to contoured individuals.

some bigger people can look good in skinny jeans, and not all skinny people look very good in them. Your personallity and stance can also make them look better on some people and not others.

I do not own any skinny jeans and never have. I do not think I would like to wear them as I am not real skinny. At my age I do not think they are appropiate anyway.

I wear regular jeans with an elastic waistband. I like this kind of waistband of course because it strengths. I do not have to hold in breathe to button or zip up blue jeans.

why don't you just buy bigger sized clothing so you don't have to suck your stomach in? Or you could just wear sweatpants all the time, i know a person that does that.

I have seen them and I think they look amazing on some people. I would not wear them. They are like the spandex. Remember when they were all the rage? You have to have just the right type of body to pull them off i think.

Lucky you...you missed it. It was in the late 80's. They were comfy and looked great on a small person when worn with the right top but oh....well, lets just leave it at....lucky you, you missed it.

I do not remember when spandex was all the rage.lol. I was born in the 90's. I would amagine that you would have to have "just the right type of body" to pull the spandex off but not the skinny jeans.

I don't like skinny jeans. They look good on others, but not myself. I just think they look funny. And, yes, they are from the 80's and have made their way back in the 21st Century! They should of stayed in the 80's. lol. I can't fit my good through the end of them, and I am not that skinny to where I can wear them. I will keep wearing my flared and baggy jeans! They make my butt look good anyways. hahaha!

I'm sure your butt would look good in anything.lol. There are bigger sizes, there is not just one size labeled "skinny". I have seen bigger set people walking around in skinny jeans and that don't look bad at all. Did you own a pair back in the 80's? Or you never have and never will?

I never owned a pair of skinny jeans in the 80's. I never will own a pair either. lol. I just think they look to 80ish for me. I never have liked them...even in the 80's.

Wow that was a lot of 80's.lol. Well i guess there not for everybody. I love flared jeans also but not baggy.

I think they look good on some people, but I don't personally like them on myself. That is some thing I will leave in the 80's. I'm really tall so I think it makes me look funny to have tight pants on. And I have always hated what I call "ankle hugger" pants.

I used to think that I hate "ankle hugger" pants but then when I tried on my first pair of skinny jeans I completly changed my mind. I think tall people look the best in skinny jeans.

I don't have skinny jeans because it is doesn't suits me. It is looks good in the people that have slim figure. Teenagers always follow the trend even the guy wear skinny jeans. I'm not comfortable in wearing so tight pants I prefer comfortable jeans to wear.

i don't look good in skinny jeans but my 6 yr. old son loves em....it was hard for me to find em b/c they mostly sell em for older kids he wanted them so bad but then target came out with their shawn white skinny jeans for young boys so i bought him a few pairs n he loves em! i've heard some people on the net say they shouldn't be for young boys but he has gotten lots of compliments i think he looks really good in em!

Wow I didn't know that they sold them for younger boys either, but I knew they sold them for older girls and boys though. I have never really seen anybody under the age of 12 wear skinny jeans before. Well good for him and you anyway.

What are skinny jeans? I don't remember them in 80s. People keep talking about skinny jeans but I have no clue what they're talking about. I thought all jeans fit the same way. I'm sick of all the different fits now. I just want a pair of normal jeans. I hate fashion. :(

Skinny jeans are pretty much like regular jeans but look more tight around the ankle area. they come in different colors and can look good on anyone. You should try them out, I'll bet they look great on you.

I don't have a pair of skinny jeans. They are not flattering on me. I don't, however have anything against them. If they look good on you, then wear them, I say.

well thank you! I will keep wearing them.lol.

I think that the skinny jeans thing is just a fad, and I'm hoping it gets replaced by some other fashion trend soon. :P Don't get me wrong, I own around four or five pairs of skinny jeans but I rarely get to use it because I get conscious whilst wearing them :)). And yes, wearing 'em jeans could be flattering to the eye only if you have skinny/lean legs in the first place. It is not really aesthetically pleasing when you get to see "healthy" people wearing them because it just doesn't seem right. But to each his/her own, I guess.

I do own 2 pairs of skinny jeans. I like them sometimes when I am not feeling bloated. Best to pair skinny jeans with high heeled shoes.

Yes I love wearing and seeing a pair of skinny jeans with either high heeled shoes or high heeled boots, those are the best shoes to wear with a pair of skinny jeans.

I am a bartender at a casino and I see A LOT of different styles. The skinny jeans are definitely made for the smaller and younger! There are plenty of women that come down in their skinny jeans that aren't anywhere near skinny. I myself am not a size 6, (lol) but I see these plus size women wearing them- and while they are attempting to keep up with the trends- it just doesn't look right. Even on the young and slim, there is a limit on how tight your skinny jeans need to be. The skinny jean gives no margin for error at all. Just because you can get them on does not mean it is a good idea to wear it out!I also watched a morning news show a few weeks ago saying that women are wearing these jeans so tight, it is cutting off circulation and causing medical problems! That's taking the whole "beauty hurts" to a new level!

lol very interesting. That is right you should never wear anything too tight. Whatever that is. I have never witness anyone wearing anything that could possible cut off their curculation, but I'm sure they are out there somewhere.

My mom owns two pairs of skinny jeans. She can carry it though she's a bit chubby. She said that was what she wore when she was young. I love skinny jeans. They are indeed tight but I have fun wearing them, specially brightly colored ones. I do not know. Dressing up colorfully is a stress reliever and adds confidence.
@lala501 (1532)

Yes I can see how much confidence it adds to people when they wear skinny jeans, bright colored or not. That's cool that you and your mom can share that trend. My mom is a little to old to be wearing them, but I really don't mind.lol.

Hi, lala I do not like skinny jeans because I do not look good in them! I wish the trend would go away now so that I can buy jeans in peace LOL! I hate it when I go shopping and see these really big discounts on jeans, only to find out that what's on sale are only skinny jeans. There are girls though that really look good wearing them. Young girls especially look good wearing skinny jeans. Cheers!

There are some pretty cute loose fitting skinny jeans out there to so don't fret about being a little bit chubby, and if they are not comfortable don't wear them.

I own 5 pairs of skinny jeans, some are bright colors, jean and black color. For me, skinny jeans i very fashionable so when I first saw it in the market it really got my attention.
@lala501 (1532)

17 Oct 09
Yeah i agree they are very fashionable.lol. but I was a little skeptical at first, so I wasn't going to buy them just yet, but then when I saw a good they looked on other people and celebrities, I just had to go and buy a pair or two.

these are nice things to be wear. I have 6 pairs of jeans. I like jeans on every people except fat girls and boys. Skinny jeans are very nice. They are also narrow in the ends of the leg.any one wearing this jeans should also wear a good pair of shoes, not sandals. As they will look very odd. That's all.

Flip flops can sometimes look good with skinny jeans if it matches the shirt that you are wearing. Some overweight people can also look good in these types of jeans.
