Next fashion trend will be ripped, acid wash jeans from the mid to late 80's. Def Leppard anyone?

Didn't used to be. We used to have more fun.
People can wear what they want. Who said they couldn't? But I damn well have a right to voice an opinion on it. Or are you saying I can't have one?
Let's put it this way- if your friend has a booger hanging out of his/her nose, do you tell them or not? I would tell them. I will also tell them when they look good or like crap. And skinny jeans look like crap on just about every guy.
I would like to be pretentious here for a moment, and speak for all college guys. 
We don't want/wear skinny jeans.
In all seriousness though, on a campus of ~40,000 (counting grad students and faculty) I've seen probably about 5 guys wear skinny jeans over the past few years. It used to be the rage in high school, but once you get to college most realize a) Its impractical, b) It looks like crap, and c) its the real world now, and unless you're some hot-shot you have to dress respectfully and professionally. I can't even imagine the looks I'd get if anyone saw me wearing skinny jeans, and I'm still in school-- its just not something you do when you're older, especially when you're trying to be as professional as possible around most parties.
But that's just me, being a pretentious *******.

If women were meant to wear shirts God wouldn't have created breasts

I too sometimes wear skinny jeans. They aren't skin-tight(Used to but they shrunk) but rather a neutral between baggy and tight. Baggy is really annoying for me. And I find that I can hold everything I want in them. Sometimes I have to take extra and it gets annoying if I have to bring something extra. But nothing to quit wearing them for.
Hmm. I need to invent pouched blue jeans for men. Market it as breathable and easily accessible!
BTW- Iggy Pop is not a pretty man. Love his stuff, but ouch on the eyes!
Yeah well, speak for yourself Mr. Kohler, I think Iggy is THE sex... He's like what-- 150 yrs old??? With a body that puts most guys half his age to shame.
One of my jobs is Art/Creative Director with clients in high fashion, so when I get the opportunity to cast models, I will try my best to hire the less-than-conventionally beautiful types. I still favor the ideal model proportions-- but prefer the models that have a more raw, archaic, and punkish edge rather than the more mainstream Bruce Weber types. That goes for the female models as well-- I'll take Lara Stone's gap-toothed profile and geeky walk any day.
Where am I going with all this...? Right, these guys, and girls, look AMAZING in the tightest jeans. You're just seeing all the wrong types wearing them.

U
Exactly. Even most models don't look good in them.

I'm also an Art Director.
After reading more, I think a lot of people are describing their opinion off of two different forms of skinny jeans; those of which are skinny and tight; and those which are so skinny and tight (and usually weird colors) that they literally hug the skin.
I have no problems with the former, I think no guy should wear the latter. If there's no breathing or bending room, at all, and your jeans are like spandex, then Houston, you have a problem. Plus I have no problems with kids/highschoolers wearing them, but I do have a problem with adults wearing them. Unless you're in fashion, a rockstar, etc, you should NEVER wear type 2, because that's just very unprofessional and can speak volumes about you to your peers, even if you don't want it to.

A few years ago I started slowly slimming down my jeans. I got more and more comfortable in them as I went. I don't like the super skinny that are painted on that some people wear, I like a little bit of room at each part of the leg. I've put on old pairs of non-skinny jeans and they feel strange by comparison!
The thing with skinny jeans is that they end up molding better to your body shape. After awhile they become incredibly comfortable. Recently they started putting a small amount of spandex in the jeans that make them stretch ever so slightly. I've found these jeans to be even better!
Here's the thing, you buy pants that fit your build. If you're not skinny, don't buy skinny jeans! But if you are they end up better, after a short getting used to period.
Also, as far as the crack showing, this has more to do with the rise of the jeans and not their skinniness. But they are related as most skinny jeans I've found have low rises. I really wish more skinny jeans would come in mid rises...
Oh and by the way, this skinny jeans trend is not new. Watch the movie footloose.

Skinny jeans are really ugly, even on girls sometimes. And don't say, well my girlfriend or lady friends think they make you look good, hot, or dope. They are trend followers like no other. Not too long ago, they would have said the same thing if you were wearing ridiculously baggy clothes.
Pretty sad you gotta be in a fad for someone to think you're cool and look good. Too shallow of a person for me.
And yeah, got a girlfriend who wants me to just at least try a pair on, tell her not ever gonna happen.

Wow. Who'd have thought other people's clothes could get folks so riled up?
I remember when a guy had to do something really unconventional to be branded a rebel. Nowadays, all he needs is a pair of drainpipes and a white iPhone

I have a white iPhone, that's all a guy needs. Wearing mandex is not natural or my iPad would not try to auto correct it. I propose a special place for these people. Lets call it north Hollywood.
