Where to get them, why you love them, why you don't. You know the deal.

Well, I bought my skinny jeans from the Garage, and I paid $10 for them. =D

I love skinnies because they just look so good with any kind of shoe. I have about twenty pairs of shoes and over half of them go with my skinny jeans.

Wear them with flats (they look best with dark coloured flats), heels (pointy toed look best), boots, uggs, etc.

You can get them from almost anywhere now. Yeah, and wear them with any type of shoe

I get mine from American Eagle, Aritzia, Off the Wall, and Abercrombie and Fitch. I love them, and I find they look awesome with flats and boots.

Love them on other people-but my hips are too big compared to the rest of me to wear skinnies Sad

i love my hollister dark wash skinny jeans, and my grey habitual skinnies. i wear them with EVERYTHING. looks great with flats for something less causal, converse for very causal, and a good heel for something fancier.

I don't like them, seems like I'm the only one who doesn't- who's posted so far? I could probably wear them as I don't have very wide hips or anything but I just don't like the style or anything. It may just be me, but I think even if you have non-exsistent hips they still don't flatter very many. I've noticed that they do nothing for most individuals. Though, you can wear a wide variety of shoes with skinny jeans such as flats. Flats probably wouldn't look as nice with say, flare jeans for example. I'll stick with staple bootcut jeans though, thanks! Very Happy

Anyways- all the power to you if you do like skinny jeans, which is most of the population nowadays.

i'm not exactly sure about whether or not i like them. i see some people wear them and they look gorgeous, and others who look terrible in them. i myself don't actually own a pair, but i might eventually.

I like them, as long as they aren't plastered to your legs. However, they look dumb on me, thanks to my short legs and existant thighs & hips. Sad

^wow cheap for $20. i just bought a pair of shank skinnies from off the wall for $40.

Ok I used to really dislike skinny jeans, thinking they flattered only a very specific body type, and definitely not my body type. I'm short, and my hips and butt definitely exist so I figured I'd look awful in them. Just for fun though, I tried a pair on and found that they actually make me look taller and thinner if I wear them with pointy toed heels. I bought two pairs of them for 50 bucks from Urban Behaviour. I like them a lot now cuz they look awesome with my new boots.

Off the wall, Garage, just about everywhere.
I don't have any, but I want some.

I think the ones at Aritzia are nice I think if you are not to curvy they look good.

I look awful in skinny jeans Sad

. I don't have the right body type for it.. I'm skinny but I have big hips and the jeans just don't flatter me.

I used to hate them a lot but if you have the right body for them they do look nice.

i'm warming up to them.
i really hate like, extremely tapered skinnies, they do not flatter anyone. but i do like them if they aren't supertight anywhere.
i don't think i have the body type for them, but i've been told that they look good on me (by a guy, too ;)_orange

) ... i'm working up to them.
i just bought a nice pair of almost skinny jeans from bootlegger on sale for $20 Happy

skinny jeans:roll: I think they look good on girls with really small legs, personally, I don't think I'd wear them because my legs are "curvy"-ish. I find it unflattering when girls with big legs wear really tight things. I do on the other hand, sort of like the straight jean look, it's less tight, but still nice looking.

I didn't like them when they first came out, but they're growing on me. Unfortunately, I find that skinny jeans only look good on - well, tall and slender people. I am short and a size 0, but when I tried on a pair - I found that I looked shorter and pear-shaped. Oh well, probably not the trend for me, but I still admire those that pair them with cute flats or heels. *sigh* if only...

i like them. my friend, she's tall and skinny, you'd think she'd be the perfect type to wear skinnies but when she wore a pair, it looked so bad on her.

alexisgeek · Posted: Thu Jan 25, 2007 11:40 pm Post subject:

I wish I could wear skinnies... but they look so bad on me. So I'm sticking with regular ol' low-rise bootcut.

camita · Posted: Tue Jan 30, 2007 5:51 pm Post subject:

I despise it when people wear skin tight skinny jeans, then wear the converse and it makes their feet look huge. uggg.

I like them.. I find they don't look no worse, nor no better then regular jeans on me. But I'm short and I like how the length fits perfectly because they bunch up on the end.

I find pretty much anyone can wear them and they might not look amazing but they won't look bad. I think it's just about finding the right amount of tightness and wash and how much they bunch up at the end. Like I saw someone who was about 4'11'' and sort of chubby wearing them, they should look terrible, right? But they actually didn't look that bad.

I've decided I really like them but you do have to have the body for them. If you don't, then just wear boots.

^ I don't think everyone can wear them. There's 2 managers at Aritzia (oakridge one and RC one) who wear them and they shouldn't be...the J Brands and habituals make their hips and asses look bigger then they already are and these girls aren't "small" per se. lol.

I think that the one jean everyone seems to be able to wear is citizens of humanity.

boarderlinefrenzy · Posted: Tue May 01, 2007 2:20 pm Post subject:

I hate it when I wear something kind of as my own personal fashion staple, and then everyone else wears it, too. I'm not saying I started the trend, I'm sure someone cool like Mick Jones did. But still. Gosh, skinny jeans were my thing. I like them best with converse nothing else really suits my style.

ahaha you guys are gonna throw tomatoes at me buuttt I do not like skinny jeans. At least, I don't like the way they look on me. My thighs are too big for them and legs not long enough to pull them off.

But people say that you have to try out a lot of different skinnies to find the right one, and since I'm parting with my stretchy flares, I'm trying out some skinnies, but so far, none of them look good.

T_T and maybe it's just me... or the stores I've been going to, but they're a lower rise than most jeans.

I dunno where to go... ._. where do you guys go for skinnies? They have them everywhere now so... should I just go everywhere?

^Well to find the perfect pair, yeah you should just check everywhere, otherwise you might miss out on something. Practically every place has them, but the ones that fit me best are these grey ones I got from Limite. The ones at UB fit pretty well too..very snug and comfy, same with the Sirens ones. But it really depends because some of the Sirens skinnies are big in the waist, and then another pair the same size was much tighter. So you really just gotta search and try on a bunch of pairs!

i really like skinny jeans but i agree they arnt for everybody and i dont like when people wear skin tight skinny jeans, i think no pair of pants should be worn skin tight period, i think it just looks like they need the next size up or something. I only have one pair of skinny jeans though so im looking to get more for the fall because i find that they look nice on me.
