Skinny jeans are possably the MOST un-flattering jeans ever made.
They are a fashion DON'T!
And when the boys wear them low and saggy, (they must buy them 5 sizes too big in order to accomplish this) they look like a baby in bad need of a diaper change.
cmjust0, we call that the muffin top effect. If your pants are the right size you should not have that issue...... I like mine right at the navel, it keeps my extra baby skin flattened, and no I do not have the 'muffin' look either. I HATE it when girls run around with their butt cracks and their 'whale tail' showing along with whatever 'stamp' they have gotten on the base of their backs..... along with their muffin top giant fat roll hanging like a beer belly. I want to throw M&M's in the plumbers crack......
I know what skinny jeans are, they were in fashion when I was in HS. I was just making a reference to what style I preferred.
As far as fit, if my DH likes them then they are good to go!
To me, fit and function are the top reasons to get a pair, the designs are just a bonus.
AKMichelle, I completely agree with you on the boy's pants. NO WAY will I allow my sons to dress in that fashion!

I remember when Guess jeans made comfortable jeans for guys. They had two styles at the mall by us, loose and boot cut. I hated doling out the 60 or 70 bucks they cost all those years ago but I was just putting up laundry and came across them. I doubt I'll fit into them, but this thread has really hit my funny bone tonight
There's this one emo kid that skates around our little hamlet in skinny jeans all the time... There are like 700 souls in town, and it's a farming community.. Average age is probably 60+. One of my buddy's sons knows the kid and I saw them interact one day. My buddy's kid is a typical farmboy, probably about 12 or so. Complete 180 from this other kid. Here's how it went down.
Emo kid, unprovokedly sarcastic: "Heeeey dude."
Buddy's kid, furling eyebrows: " " (..intentionally left blank..lol)
Emo kid lingers awkwardly, then skates off apathetically.
Buddy's wife, quietly to her son: "His pants look like girl pants."
Buddy's kid: "They ARE girl pants. He wears girl pants."
Buddy's wife: "....Oh. ... Why does.."
Buddy's kid, interrupting angrily: "I DON'T KNOW!! He's not my friend, soooooo...."
Buddy's wife, surprised, throws up her hands: "OK, jeez!"
Gloria Vanderbilt makes a wonderful pair of jeans that I buy at JC Penny. I really like them except for me they have a bit too much waist. Of course for me everything has a bit too much waist. I'm a tiny lil'bit. I've lost a lot of weight in the last 3 years but even so I've always had an hour glass figure. At 5'1' (being generous here) I have a very short waist but it's always been more narrow than my hips.
These jeans when fit right, LOOK like they fit like a glove, AREN'T skinny jeans, actually cover what they are supposed to cover, and you can still breath in them. They come in straight leg, boot, relaxed fit and regular. And of course they have the GV on them.
edited to say they also come in Petite! For us little gals. And if you get them on sale you can get them as cheap as $12 a pair!
I'm new here, so my apologies.. but isn't that a bit contradictory Cmjust0? Not all women are shaped how a women 'should' be, the stereotype of how women need to be shaped is the loss, not what they wear, in my opinion.
Never even touched a pair of skinny jeans myself.
It looks like they are sewn on.. I wonder how they get them over their ankles?
