Why do guys wear skinny jeans?

Because they're in an indie or emo band. Or they want to be in an indie or emo band. They think they look good, but they just look like everybody else.

You know what type of jeans look best on guys? Well-fitting jeans. Not too tight, not too baggy. Choose jeans that are stylish and slimming, but don't make you look like every PBR-swilling scenester with a trust fund and a terrible emo swoosh haircut.

When in doubt, err a little on the tighter side. (I'm not a fan of baggy jeans on anyone.) Wear a comfortable pair that doesn't make your legs look like toothpicks. Also, I tend to prefer a darker blue, but that's just me. Kenneth Cole makes nice jeans for men. So does Ben Sherman.

And I hear you saying, "But Zac Efron wears them!" Yeah, but Zac Efron is a famous movie star who could wear parachute pants and the girls would claw each other's eyes out just to get near him. Just because some quote, unquote handsome guys can get away with it, that doesn't mean the rest of us should get a free pass.   

Honestly, I don't see the appeal of skinny jeans on guys at all. If you have skinny legs, they're still going to look skinny in regular jeans. And if you don't have skinny legs, shelling out for a pair of skinny jeans isn't going to make you not have flabby legs. It'll just make you turn blue from lack of circulation. 

The only upside of dudes in skinny jeans is that the wearer's package is so constricted, his sperm count will be reduced, thus saving us from countless future generations of hipster d-bags. So if you're a hipster d-bag, ignore my advice. Go forward with your skinny jeans-wearing self! And get out of my favorite bar.

I happen to think that skinny jeans and men just don't mix. I do not understand the style of the emo/indie crowd. It's a whole subculture and I don't get it. I have no friends among that population.

Guys, for the rest of us non indie/emo girls, we do not like your skinny jeans. You automaticly get crossed off our "to sleep with" list.

Now here's a question, are skinny jeans and girl-pants the same thing? Because I have no idea who came up with the idea of guys wearing girl-pants, but that person committed crimes against fashion humanity and they must be stopped.

Well... I'm a scenester. I have the swoosh haircut, I wear the skinny jeans, the vintage store dresses with the cowboy boots, the chunky plastic jewelry and the big sunglasses... And I LOVE it when guys dress in tight clothes. Rawr. Baggy clothes are so boring and they call no attention to themselves. It takes a lot of guts for a guy to go out in flamboyant clothes like that. Who am I to diss them for it? Power to the punks!

user-pic

Punks don't wear that shit. If you would've said that around some you would've gotten your face smashed in. As a matter of fact, go to warped tour this year and go to the anti-flag tent and say that shit. They'll murder you. Scene kids are gross.

Skinny jeans can be sexy if worn correctly. Just sayin'.

Guys who wear skinny jeans strike me as PB's (pussy boys). I think those jeans are a HUGE turnoff!!! If your jeans are tighter than mine, no thank you!

babygirl west

obviously different things float boats out there...
b/c if a guy can pull off the skinny jeans maybe w/ a pair of converse... he has def. got my attention! i think it's the emo thing... it automatically makes me thing he's:
-sensitive
-creative
-intelligent

**all things i would like in a guy**

HOW SILLY of me to assign personality traits to clothing. or is it?

user-pic

that makes perfect sense following the latest fad makes people creative and intelligent who would of thought?

Someone needs to go out and say it.

As far as the pants go, I think it's really all designed to make a certain kind of weird female feel more comfortable. But really, it goes far deeper then all that. It isn't that hard to see, if you just take a honest look. Today, guys are getting divided into two groups. Vindeisels "thug" types, and Hipster types who have to "check" there cool with everyone else. There's not a lot of room to be a regular cool guy in a lot of circles. Lament for Happy Days. Hipsters say they are all about individuality, but really, I find they are usually a bunch of musing nerds. Cynical as hell. It's like a post apocolyptic world where no one survived but the thugs and the nerds, they divided the cities, and bars, and now everything's mutated.... the meaning of everything is lost, save for it being the "ironic" thing you pick up and try on for 10 minutes.

I miss the days guys could wear levis, listen to real rock and roll, and obsess over our cars without being branded "main stream." Not clubsters, or the kind of weird guys you can't relax around. Not anti-intellectuals or steroid freaks who shave there arms and shun away from dirt and grease. Just "The Boys". The kids form the block, who maybe went swimming in the creek on Saturday and showed up at the bar maybe little sun-burned talking about everything and nothing particular except maybe the road trip they were going to take, if only their crummy job ever gave them just enough. "And Man, we got to go to Australia some day, and see those girls down there." People call it innocence. But it's more then that. Guys like that were guys who would be smart enough to realize the kind of shape the worlds in, but strong enough to keep being awesome. A rare breed in most cases today.

The trouble is, a lot of hipsters secretly envy the last few guys doing that sort of regular guy thing, because they themselves kind of wish life could be something better. but as closet nerds have kind of already settled for it being a ironic joke. Everything is a "as if." Thus, the damn plaid shirts and trucker hats. The same goes for so many things in life, constantly mocking the days before suburban born "hip" made everything a "as if" joke.

That makes a lot of girls comfortable, because they don't have to worry about the guy being... a guy.

P.S. I know there are cool girls in nearly ALL circles, but I'm just speaking of what I've seen.

There's nothing wrong with guys wearing girl skinny jeans. The trick is to make it look like you're not wearing girl jeans.

gayyyyyy

user-pic

so are you saying it's bad to be gay? i wish people would get over their homophobia...

user-pic

I personally have to say some people are just so ignorant. First off, why bother caring what anyone else wears? Its just ignorant. Secondly, the first two comments made me laugh so hard, because both proved ignorance among the ignorant. Marks off your "to sleep with" list? Well truth be told I think i can live without a girl whom decides to judge whether they want to get to know me by what kind of jeans i wear. As for the second comment, guys wearing girl pants? lol if we are going to classify jeans into sex, well you better get use to dresses cause if you knew your history you would also know that women wearing jeans was frowned upon till, hmm, probably only a good fifty years ago or so.

user-pic

skinny jeans are for pussys who wish they can be girls and are going all out to look like a girl. the faggots wear skinny jeans because they aint men they have been around their mothers or sisters to long. nothing touches my body but fresh pairs of dickies.

user-pic

Write a comment...You're a prize. Most guys that wear "skinny" jeans probably have an education that exceeds...what?.......The forth grade. If I were you, I wouldn't worry about a guy wearing "skinny" jeans because they probably don't hang out in trailer parks.

Wearing skinny jeans has nothing to do with being a gay guy or trying to be a so called "poser". I am a guy, I wear skinny jeans, and guess what? I don't purchase them in the women's section of hot topic or jcpenny. I buy them online from Levi's, and apparently there are other guys out there that are wearing skinny jeans or else they wouldn't sell them for guys. Get your fucking heads out of your asses. The only reason you are pissed off is because you are too fucking obese and ugly to be able to fit in to a pair of skinny jeans. I feel that everyone should be able to do whatever the fuck they want without getting shit for it all the time. I look good in skinny jeans, I have a muscular upper body, and wearing skinny jeans has nothing to do with being scene or emo. Guys all over the UK are wearing skinny jeans, and I don't see them getting any shit for it over there do you? If you are overweight and can't fit in to a pair of nicely fitted pants, then I am sorry, keep your damn insecurities to yourself. I think if a guy can pull of wearing skinny jeans and actually has the balls to wear them out in public without caring what other people think, then I think he is more of a man than you give him credit for. Wearing skinny jeans does not instantly make you an emotional faggot, and I swear by god if I got in to a fight with you I would kick your ass because I am not a 120 lb little boy, I am 165 lb and 5'10", and pretty sure that most of my body is made up of muscle and not flabby ass fat. Stop the bs already! Go on Levi's website, and you'll see that they sell skinny jeans for guys, not girl pants, not my sister's pants, they are made for guys. So you also have to keep in mind that they are not as constricted around your nuts as you think they are, because they do realize that they are selling these pants to guys and not girls, so they do accommodate enough room for package. So damn ignorant..

skinny jeans arent gay.. i buy skinny jeans from arizona MENS and levis MENS if they were meant for girls they wouldnt say MENS right on the fu*king tag. im sick of all these comments saying ur gay if you wear skinny jeans. Ok yes if you have off brand sh*t that constricts ur balls or jus looks like you got them out of ur sisters closent then yes ur gay. but i get them from arizonas or levis stores and if you dont buy gay looking ones then ur fine. The problem here is guys commenting over this. Im a guy an i dont give a fuck what other guys wear and if your a guy and you do... we then have fun with that dick in ur mouth you gay faggot.

Just to clear up something. Guys who wear skinny jeans look like homosexuals. That is not a good thing.

If a guy wants to prance around and have sex with other men, that is his problem that he should keep to himself. It is not something to be proud about. Wearing skinny legged jeans only advertises that he is a homosexual.

If a guy is not homosexual but chooses to wear skinny legged jeans, he is going to look like he is effeminate at best and homosexual at worst. It is a bad look that most women would not find attractive or masculine.

I can predict that the homosexual crowd will now start screaming that I am anti-gay. That is correct. I think it is wrong.

Everyone else, please drop the hate! Heterophobia must end! Every time someone disagrees with the the gay lifestyle, the heterophobic gays start screaming.

user-pic

It all depends on how they look on the guy cause obviously heavier guys are gonna look alot worse with skinny jeans on rather then a more physically fit person. And make sure they arent too tight cause then it just looks completely weird , and its uncomfortable.. ( unfortunately i would know :P )
I like the slim straight jeans because they are more comfortable and still look pretty good aha.

Good Stuff Thank you for the information

Do you know why? It's because we all have the freedom to wear them, and there's nothing you can do about it. In short, wear them if your comfortable with it and if you don't, why bother.

I wear guys skinny jeans since my body type is slim. If ur kind of chunky don't wear them even though u do know a sense of style don't its only mentioned for a slim slender guy. As well I wear my guys skinny jeans not that tight on my crotch area. If there to tight I would do a mini sag not outrageous like rappers do it but at least a little just to show the strap of my underwear. Im not a hater on any style except emo. I grew up listening to rock music most of my life so my style differs from various rock genres. I am a musician I grew up playing various instruments but still need lots of more skill. All im trying to say some people judge before getting to knowing them and u have to have the right attitude to rock whatever u want its a free country do what u want.

To the guy that started this post it sounds more personal then anything. Pretty much a lot of people on here have some sort of hate for skinny jean wearing dudes. I wear skinnies GUY SKINNIES that they specialy make for guys and I dnt consider any guy to be a douche bag just because of the type of clothes he wears. That's really dumb and shallow. But what that guy is saying pretty much is "wear baggier jeans or well fitted jeans and be like part of my crowd!" Which goes against everybody's personal rights in choosing hoe they want to dress. Who is he to say that? I dnt go up to somebody that goes to my favorite bar and say "hey Wtf are you doing in those oldnavy painters jeans? Get your ass into some skinnies man" Lmao that's just stupid. And I hangout with a wide range of different people preps, Indies, emos, thugs, scenesters, gays lesbians , bikers, heck even red necks and I get along fine with everybody. Like I said, everybody who has hate toward it, it must be some personal shit. Dnt let a few rotten Dicks spoil the bunch for ya
