The Wall Street Journal Stumbles Upon A Wacky New Trend: Skinny Jeans
Okay. Now that someone's grandfather over at the WSJ has discovered this wacky new trend, can we officially agree that skinny jeans are passé and start phasing them out?
Explanations abound for why men would want to wear jeans that look so uncomfortable and impractical. Some fashion observers say skinny jeans' hold on certain men stems in part from the wearers' desire to show off their gym-sculpted bodies. [...]The brands also hope the changes will make their skinny jeans appeal beyond the urban hipsters, skater-types, rockers and hip-hop fans who already wear them to men with meatier legs. "I'm an avid cyclist and need to have more room in my jeans because my quads are getting worked on so much," says Michael Ball, co-founder of premium denim brand Rock & Republic, which late last year added stretch to its men's skinny jeans [...]
Though the jeans may be getting easier to wear, the look isn't easy to pull off. The trick is to wear skinny jeans with slim-fitting shirts and pointy-toed dress shoes or dressy boots. Any squarish, loose or, worse still, boxy-fit sweater or shirt can make a man's proportions look out of whack and his legs way too skinny.
