The Skinny Jean Scene #1

[Crakk]

I absolutely love the way in which she styled those, wow. I am trying to figure if I would have the NERVE to put them on, they are so feminine.

I agree, skinny jeans are best with a loose top, makes for a more interesting silhouette.

Skinny denim on skinny men has been in for some time now, at least in my experience (e.g. hipsters, haha). If you visit Superfuture, you will see quite a few young men wearing skinny/straight/tight/tapered denim styles and brands like Julian Red, April 77, Dior Homme, etc.

If you have no hips you should go for the skinny jeans! Otherwise if you have really noticeable curves you'd end up looking too feminine imo.

Well yes, i know that, Im talking about the photo you posted. That is not skinny denim, it is more of a spandex material, isnt it? I love it though, so outrageous.

^^No, those are skinny jeans, they are prob made with spandex so that they can stretch...My April 77 jeans and my Cheap Monday's fit the same way.

 

[LostInNJ]

Does anyone know where I can get colored skinny jeans in cyan blue and grey...I tried the Cheap Monday jeans, but they were too tight for what I want...Any suggestions would be appreciated!

 

[lesypersound]

April 77 just came out with a new cyan colored joey called Hollywood, and the april 77 grey colordrives are something else--i have a pair and really like them--but the waist runs huge (i got my true size and i could've gone down two sizes...awful, so i'm going to get them tailored). I think these jeans are well worth the money--their texture is something different but comfortable and the color is very rich!

Acne has lots of skinny jeans for men, try that!

Thanks everyone I appreciate it!

I feel it's a different, less curvy/revealing silhouette and straight-leg and bootcut just gives a cleaner line down the leg, skips making me feel self-conscious about my knees, and can make one's silhouette still look tall.

but, i don't know, most of my wide-leg pants (2/3, haha) aren't in denim material anyway and the denim pair i have have sailor detailing which makes them cute imo... :shrugs: i think having a lot of visual weight on the bottom half of my outfit can visually make it look like I'm more grounded and sturdy--which translates to positive things in the work place (which is the only reason why I wear wide-leg pants=to look professional). Haha. Like the shoulder-pad/linebacker look for working women of the 1980s. Hmm, yeah, dunno...

Sorry if the above was rambling on a bit, this is the first time I thought about it outside of, "oh--these look cute!" I'm very curious what others have to say as well.

And, Crakk, you are right about skinny jeans getting even more skinny .

I'm pretty sure that that has to be closer to 50% elastane. Haha. I guess the question may become, how much cotton versus elastane is required to call anything skinny jeans. Haha. :]

i dont think those are jeans .. more like leggins.. i have some jeans that taper that much but they dont look like that. so i think those are not jeans...

 

[indigoskies]

just to confirm, they are leggings.
jeans don't hug that much.

That is what i thought, but everyone told me they were skinny jeans. I knew they werent.

 

[indigoskies]

is it only me that doesn't like spandex in their denim?

 

[lostinemotion]

i don't know any girls that like non stretch jeans. it's painful and unflattering.
for men, non stretch is better.

 

[indigoskies]

ah, okay.
i think spandex jeans hug the leg too much when they stretch out, so i don't really like them...
only a good look on guys with twig legs.

 

[XxpinktinksxX]

The ones that girl is wearing are lovely. I also love her shoes. I prefer the skinnies like that and with a zipped leg is even better !!

 

[m4ryb3ar]

my mom got yellow (not too bright, not too pastel) skinnies today that zip up on the side! and they fit me!!! im excited. i havent worn skinnies yet bc i thought they would look bad on me but i like them! and now that im growing to love heels, its even better!

oh and i might be slow or something but i got an email from urban today and they now carry cheap monday, if anyone cares?

 

[Beautiful Stranger]

Anyone having any experience with earnest sewn harlan?

Anyone having any experience with earnest sewn harlan?

really good jeans, i tried on a pair of solid overdye black Harlan with a zipper on the back leg opening--thickish soft denim, well-crafted, comfortabily thin/tight... if it wasn't so overpriced (>200) i would have got them. much better quality and better cut for my body than Tsubi/Ksubi.

 

[m4ryb3ar]

theses were the yellow skinnies i was talking about, except i dont think theyre that tight on me. sevens
