Skinny jeans are a style I swore I would never get in to. There is something about turning jeans which are comfy and meant to make people feel better, into spandex torture devices that did not appeal to me. This was one style from the 80's that wasnt meant to come back. I held fast to this idea until fairly recently. I told everyone that would listen that the style wasnt meant for anyone, that everyone looked a bit wider than needed when wearing them, and I promptly walked out of stores where they were sold. Then last fall I started to have a change of heart. Maybe it was living in Utah, maybe it was the peer pressure, or maybe it is just that I was born in the 80's, but for some reason I started to develop this crazy notion that this style might actually be okay for some body types, and let's be real, it looked like they might not look quite a ridiculous with boots as some other styles of jeans (aka everything else i owned). I continued to stay away, but then a couple of weeks ago I broke. I tried on a pair, and while they werent the cutest thing I ever wore, they werent quite the blue spandex disaster I had been expecting. I bravely walked to the check out counter, paid, and went home. Oh I should mention the long drawn out conversation I had with Brian in the dressing room area before purchasing the jeans that were on sale for less than $20. So I purchased the jeans, wore them to work, continued not to hate or love them, and moved on with life. Then I bought another pair, and while I am still a little concerned that this look isnt great, I do have to say I may have misjudged it a bit... not bad... but not great, what more can I ask for in a pair of jeans?
Em this picture is for you... and yes this is meant to be a grandpa/old man sweater... it is super comfy, i was going for warm and black not cute and stylish.

I like skinny jeans. Just wear them with confidence.
I like the skinny jeans on you. Just wear them with confidence.
I think skinny jeans were meant for YOUR body type - you look fantastic!
I totally understand how you feel-I revolted against them for so long and then once I actually tried them I was surprised how much I liked them. They look really cute on you because you have such long skinny legs!
I agree with MaryAnne. If I had your legs I'd be rockin' the skinny jeans every day. You look hot, embrace it.
You totally pull them off and I've found them to be surprisingly comfortable since they're kind of stretchy denim.
