The Skinny Jeans Dilemma

To wear or not to wear..? That is the question. Ah yes, those skinny jeans. Have you tried em yet? Sure they’re tight (they’re supposed to be) and may feel weird on your legs. But how long can you ignore current fashion trends before you give them some attention?

More and more companies are making their most stylish jeans… skinny! And I know what you’re thinking… you’ll never wear them. You don’t want to wear skin tight jeans that hug your lower half so confined that you can barely walk. And you think the skinny jeans with that “sag” look is ridiculous! Our generation grew up wearing baggy clothes anyway, in particular with our jeans. But the days of the baggy jean are over! And here’s why:

Why Embrace The Skinny Jeans?
1. Wear Jeans that Fit!
Grown men do not wear jeans that fall off their rump, not three sizes too big, nor do they wear their grandfather’s brands. Our mother’s used to buy us clothes that fit for a reason (mother’s know best)! Wear jeans around your waist or hips.
2. One Percent Drop Rule
100% cotton skinny jeans will make you feel like you just pulled both of your hamstrings. Instead, read the fabric makeup of the jeans before you buy them. If the jeans have at least 1% spandex, they will stretch and mold to your lower half. This will also prevent the slim fit jeans from ripping. Guys- an inside scoop is that most women’s jeans are made with some sort of spandex. Did you really think she spent half an hour jumping up and down in them jeans, trying to get her belt to fasten?? No!!! Her jeans stretch! And yours will too!
3. Styles
The most stylish and trendier denim nowadays are made in skinny jeans. The baggy look is out. Don’t believe it? Go to any urban/contemporary store and find out for yourself.
4. Fits
These days men’s jeans come in a variety of fits. Regular rise vs. low rise. Boot leg vs. straight leg. Loose fit vs. slim fit. So many choices, different fits for different occasions. You don’t wear the same jeans to the club as you do when you’re tailgating, right? The bottom line is, you gotta switch it up every now and then.
5. Side Effects
If you notice your bulging legs ready to “Incredible Hulk” out of your skinny jeans, then you have reason to show off your muscular lower limbs. If its just the opposite… either you have scrawny or plump legs, then you need to get to the gym. That’s right, these jeans will either get you to the gym or keep you there! See the squat rack. P.S.- Don’t workout in jeans.

All in all, you’ve got to do what makes you feel comfortable. But  you can’t knock it til you try it. Give these a shot and sure it’ll feel a little different at first. Relax though, anything new takes a while to get used to. It may seem weird, but wear em with confidence. If you’re ready to take the plunge, follow the next steps to complete the outfit..
