i wear them because i can't stand jeans looser than them. i don't wear them to fit in. i don't wear them b.c of a fad.
I wear them because they make my butt look good. Just kidding. Skinny jeans are just the way to go because they are crazy comfortable and amazing. I don't wear them because of a fad. people at my school hate skinny jeans :P
I've worn skinny jeans since before they were "popular." I've also worn spandex since before they were popular. As a matter of fact, I used to get made fun of because I wore spandex with nothing over them. And I'm not going to wear other jeans because everyone else started wearing skinnies.
I like the way that skinnies make you look and the way that they feel on your legs. I don't like loose fitting clothing at all, except summer dresses. Because tight fitting clothing makes you feel less like you're wearing anything. Loose fitting clothing catches on things and stuff, like how with flare jeans the material sometimes touches the material on the other leg.
But I don't like store bought skinny jeans because I like them made a certain way, so Ive always sewn my own pants. Idk. Your clothes are all up to you, and as far as I'm concerned it's more conforming to rant about people who "conform" than to just wear what you want regardless of who else wears it, whether a lot of people wear the same thing or very few do.
I only like other jeans if: You have the right style and wear like the tennis shoes everyone wore in the 90's xD Like Etnies or whatever they were called, or the Vans that everyone wore before the slip ons and such. Or if they are boot cut and you're wearing cute boots/heels. -nod-
I agree, finally someone else hates skinnies too!
I tried a pair and they weren't comfortable at all. :/ I'm not fat either, just a little chubby.
Plus I've learned to hate them because a lot of the fat girls at my school think wearing skinnies makes them look cute or skinny or whatever. :x
I think they look cute. C; I don't wear them though; I just wear whatever's handed down to me from my sisters, and they haven't handed down a pair of skinnies yet, so. xD
I'm not going to judge you for not liking them; it's your honest opinion, and you're allowed to freely express it the way you please. No negative comments here.
ALTHOUGH. I think it's pretty ridiculous that someone ew'd you because of such a trivial thing. ._.;; If someone did that to me, I'd probably hate on that pair of jeans too; even if it was just because of that little incident.
Anyways. A lot of people in my school wear them; and I'm fine with it, I really am. Some people look great in them (except this one girl in grade eight .. she's short and stubby, and so when she wears them, she looks deformed >.>;). But the fact that I see it around so much doesn't bother me.
But what DOES bother me is when people brag about getting skinny jeans. :/ Like .. one of my friends owns like, 5 brightly coloured pairs of skinny jeans (maybe more). They look nice on her and everything, but I really hate it when she brags about it by saying stuff like, "OHAI LOOKIT ME. I just bought another pair of skinnies yesterday at the mall! My collection is HUGE." all the time.
-_____-;; It annoys me to no end.
I wear them, they are nice and warm and don't get caught on anything, bit like jodphurs. XD
I own three pairs. Light blue, black and grey. I love them. I'm wearing my grey ones right now. I don't care what people think anymore. I will wear whatever I want to wear. I used to be very wary of getting unwanted attention from people but now I just don't care XD
Let people wear what they wanna wear. I have a couple pairs of skinny jeans, but I also have regular jeans too. I like what I wear, and I don't do it just because it's hip... for example, those gladiator sandals are in style and I can honestly say I wouldn't wear those. :P
This thread reminds me of the song "The Fad" by Chevelle... 'Once the fad permeates, it's hip to care, hip to hate it'
XD
I hate skinny jeans, but I own a pair. I only wear them like once in a blue moon, though =.=; My friend forces me to. Seriously, the only jeans she wears ARE skinny jeans. Stupid skinnybitch ;-; I prefer baggy-ish jeans that flare out at the bottom. shrug
Wow, there's been quite some controversy here on account of skinny jeans... :P
The only jeans I own are skinny jeans, but they are back from when I caught on to the fad, like, 3 years ago. Since then, I've gained more than a little weight and I'm stuck with jeans that make me look like a cow (Ironically they still fit, since they were big when I bought them. :P ) I'm just too cheap to buy new ones... :P
I agree with whoever said that skinny jeans are not a fad because of how long they've lasted is right. Weird, though, considering what we all thought when they debuted, which was, "WFT, why?" Lol. I'm pretty sure they are here to stay. Sadly, they really do only work on the significantly underweight.
[edit] Wow, smiley-face much?
I own a pair... I happen to like them They let people see my awesomesexy shoes without being able to see my extremely white and scarred legs (don't ask). I don't really pay attention to fads though... I just bought them because they're comfy and actually fit. It seems to me like every other pair of jeans I try on is either too short on the legs or fucking humongous around the waist. Being tall sucks.
Lighten the fuck up. You're definitely sounding a little sour there. ;)
Maybe some people don't look that good in them, but some people do. People can wear what they want.
It's not always a fad thing. It's pretty narrow-minded to group everyone together like that. :/
Oh, btw. They don't 'suffocate' my legs at all.
I prefer flare or bootcut jeans but I have skinny since I have the legs to pull them off. But I am definitely not following a fad. It's called using what is available to you.:P
I have two pairs of skinnies (they are both black).....and they are my fave jeans. They look good..they are comfortable...and they are awesome. I like them partly cos im kinda emo and they are quite emo-ish but mainly cos they look good on my legs (i have skinny legs). If people have the legs to wear them then they look really nice. I even like skinnies on men...
Bah, I'm not into them. They make my legs fail :/ Of the three pairs of jeans I own (I know, I only bought my first pair of jeans in 2007/8), they are all manjeans (COMFY, man), and a tad baggy. Why? Because I have tiny ankles and and legs from below my knee, which slowly proceed to FAT thighs. And let's not add my butt into the equation, kthnx. But some people look nice in them, and some people's legs are probably in EXCRUCIATING pain. But whatever, not my problem. It's their legs they're killing.
i'm not going to lie. i buy REALLY big sizes, because we'll i'm plus sized. but i buy atleast one size up so i can be comfortable.
but to a certain extent, i agree with you. its kinda annoying to see everybody walking around in skinny jeans everyday. its becoming an everyday routine.
its funny though because now everybody can be like 'OMGZ IMA SCENE KID COZ I HAS SUM SKINNY JEANZEZ.'
yeah fuck them.

i'm not buying into a fad if you buy the right size, they won't suffocate you they're comfy to me.

I wear them because they look the best under tunics compared to other types of jeans, they tuck into boots well and sometimes the style just suits the outfit. For example, if you're wearing something really loose on top, you should go with something tighter that accentuates your figure on bottom, otherwise you'll look swamped. And to be honest, aren't you and every other person excluding tramps following a fad and trying to fit in? Why do you think we look back at what people were wearing in the 70's and go 'yuck!'? Theres acceptable clothing in society, and there's unacceptable, and what you think and everybody else thinks is acceptable now probably wont be in twenty years time.
oh hai i h8 skinny jeans so every 1 else should 2 o btw dont tell me u like them becuz u dont i no what ur feeling
