We know skinny jeans has been the essential denim jean for the ladies. But, I have noticed for some time now that the fellas are embracing the skinny jean as well. I mean, 2009 is the year of change – and we have lived through the sag and drag pants for as long as we could.
It seems as if the fellas are trying to go for a more cleaner look and with celebs like Kanye West, Lil Wayne, Kid Cudi, and Chris Brown rocking the denim cut hard – could the baggy jean finally come to a close?
What do you think about dudes in skinny jeans? Is it hot or not? Guys are you looking to cop some skinny’s for yourself – check out these sites for a good pair: topman.com | urbanoutfitters.com | ssense.com
love it
I think Some guys can sport the skinny jeans… like them dudes from the you a “Jerk” Video.. That’s how you sport them.
But grown a** men: I dont think that would be a good look.
It’s more of a teen-ish thing.
i do feel like this is just a phase though.
skinny jeans but a nigga still hood…
ITS HOT TO ME!
People need to let go of their lil stereotypes they have for each other, how people SHOULD dress. If it makes a person feel individualistic, sexy, then more power to them.
And to me when a guy wears skinny jeans but has a nice aura about himself that contrast the “stereotype” that makes it much hotter
People need to quit acting like dudes cant do anything in fashion but wear loose ass clothing
My boyfriend wears all types of trendy stuff at times, but he def has his own style. He can rock whatever and still look good as hell
And hes CONFIDENT, which makes it even more appealing!!!
I LOVE THE SKINNY JEANS ON A CONFIDENT GUY! ITs hot!
***ONLY RULE – if you have a stomach, then you need it let this one go LOL …only rock the skinny jean if your gut is in order, no if ands or buts lol
I as a guy don’t really like them. They are very uncomfortable and itchy like tight spandex. I prefer the baggy ones, excuse me for being stuck in the 90s, but they just feel better. They don’t really have to be baggy, but loose or even “fitted” is ok. Just as long as they are not “Lee” jeans, those jeans NEVER fit right.
To me, it also sports a “rocker” image. Which I feel a lot of rappers and R&B male singers are slowly starting to ween-into. Only to appeal more crossover, since baggy jeans have always been symbolic to “Thug” or as white people call them “Gangbanger.” They LOVE to use that word. So I think it is a stereotypical image change.
Dudes in skinny, nut hugging jeans is NEVER hot…NEVER EVER. Stop it.
Skinny jeans=Gay
I like men in fitted jeans, not skinny ones. Some nice hard bottoms and fitted jeans gets me every time.
@ Ben
I love the fitted or loose jeans too.
Saggin and baggin is just plain ghetto!
i think the skin tights joints look kinda weird on a dude. but there is nothing wrong with a fitted look as long as you not showing your azz, thats lame. i think a guy should have different cuts of jeans in his wardrobe anyway. it just depend on what you wearing. most skinny guys can get away with it.
Hell naw, pls leave this trend to us ladies..
@ 2 ii agree but what do you no about jerkin’????lol
I THINK THEY ARE GREAT .. I WHERE THEM .,.AND THEY LOOK GREAT ON ME !!! THEY ARE IN FASHION !! EVERY ONE WHO DOES NOT WHERE THEM NEEDS TO STEP THEIR DRESSING GAME UP !!!
NOT!!!!!
It’s a trend, but won’t become the norm…let’s face it, the majority of guys don’t wear them, only a few and those few are really the ones just following the trend that has now seeped into Urban/Black culture from what they see celebs doing ’cause let’s face it, this is nothing new to our White counterparts, they’ve been around forever. Skinny jeans work on a guy that is slim IMO, I think I hate it the most when I see a Black male in them that has much ass and thighs and package, it looks disgusting to me. If you’re above a 32-33 waist and a guy you should really leave them alone, they are not for everyone (and those aren’t skinnies Wayne is rocking BTW).
In terms of a cleaner look, skinny jeans is not the answer. I think men are starting to realize that they look a fool when they have no presentation, and then wonder why it’s next to impossible to get any play from a female for the ones who don’t have their look on point clothes wise. It’s about wearing clothes that fit. Maybe even fitted if that works for you, but not looking a mess.
Jeans for guys FYI that have a clean/slim but not skinny fit that will work for you and your figure: Rock & Republic (Henlee or Floyd fit bootcuts, Neil straight leg), Diesel (Zaf, Zathan, or Zatiny cut).
In my opinion, they look ok on some guys.
If a dude is super skinny and wears those joints….they look pretty ‘GAy’…i’m sorry to say lol
I like waynes the best becuz they don’t look too tight they seem pretty loose and roomy.
and of course….my babe’sz chris and CuDi look’n hot [=
Tianna I never thought you would be the one contribute such an ignorant post. I am a black male and I have been wearing Skinny Jeans ever since 2008. White men have been wearing skinny jeans before they even became popular with black or white women. And many black men have been wearing them forever also. You are so late behind this trend and you claim to be the fashion forward voice on this blog?
You need to learn to think outside the box, you and the black community as a whole. Masculinity nor Manhood is about the type of jeans a man wears. Baggy jeans don’t make you no more of a man. And skinny jeans won’t detract from or add to your manliness either. Besides why does there even need to be a referendum on clothes anyway? People where whatever they want to wear and whatever they feel good in . Whether its nude, a skirt, or a potato sack.
Ugh disgusting post I am so disappointed in you for this one.
Thinly veiled homophobic post.
They look good on some…if they style is right and they have the right frame (small frame). My man is 6 feet, 215 pounds, muscular…he would look ridiculous in skinny jeans. The Dream looks ridiculous in anything fitted because he’s chunky.
I WOULD LIKE FOR MEN TO JUST WEAR THEIR JEANS AROUND THEIR HIP OR THEIR WAISTS. I DO NO’T WANT TO SEE A MAN’S BOXERS, OR HIS BRIEFS — IT IS JUST DISGUSTING! AND LOOKS PATHETIC! YOUR PANTS ARE IS SUPPOSED TO COVER YOUR ASS — THAT IS WHAT THEY WERE MADE FOR THEY WERE MADE TO COVER YOUR JUNK IN THE FRONT, AND YOUR ASS IN THE BACK!!!!
…I do favor a more fitted jean on a guy (as opposed to the excessively baggy look, which seems outdated). I don’t like the really tight skinny jeans on guys though…that’s what I wear!
@ FAMU….get out your feelings bro! its just a post! you mad at her posting it but you sure did have a lot to say…and you been rocking them since 08′? its just 09 bro! NEXT!
Now a closer fitting jean is okay but the whole guy in skinny jeans IS SO NOT COOL!
I think some people are getting relaxed/straight leg jeans confused with skinny jeans. Real skinny jeans are damn near skin tight & any guy working with something down below wouldn’t be comfortable wearing them.
@Mr. FAMU i agreed with most of what you said but i don’t think it was a thinly veiled homophobic post. i think tianna is fine with skinny jeans but she asked it this way b/c so many black men still have a problem with them.
i think guys looks sexy in them (if they wear them right of course). i also like fitted or slightly loose jeans but baggy is such a no no- i hate driving past areas where all of the guys have on sagging baggy jeans and fitteds. this is 2009. i mean really?
I think the ones pictured I call wearing jeans that fit u right
I seen some guys what I call the real skinny jean where they look like tights NO i dont ike that look
But I like the ones I see here bout time they wear jeans that fit them right
TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH THE STYLE OF HOW MEN WEAR THEIR JEAN IS NOT REALLY CHANGING AND IF SO, FOR THE WORST BECAUSE NOW THE SKINNY JEANS ARE HANG MORE OFF THEIR BUTTS THAN THE BAGGY ONES BUT HEY ONE IS NOT WORRIED ABOUT THEIR UNDERWEAR SHOWING IT ABOUT SHOWING OFF YOUR ANKLES…..LOL
kid cudi looks good in his btw
@ladytroublesome skinny jeans for men don’t have to be skin tight though
Im sorry but it looks disguting..they look like sausages.. i mean if youre tall n slim..listen to rock music, its okay..but hey..i hate baggy jeans..but put on medium jeans in between the two..they jst want to appeal to caucasians..they look so stupid..its not HOTT…F*** trend..DONT GIVE A DAMN ,BE YOURSELF INSTEAD OF BEING A PRISONER OF FASHION ..U AINT GOING NO WHERE…thes guys start putting on t-shirts of pink floyd, jimmy hendrixx…they dont no sh** bout’ them..damn..this is going to wear out..I HOPE..
I think skinny jeans are a good look if you fit them well. They dnt look good on every male, lets jst say. You definitely have to fit the part. I hate when dudes who wears them, have them on sooo damn tight.!! Really.! Its jst the swag you have wearing a pair of skinny jeans and how you carry the whole look, such as the sneakers, skinny jeans, the hat, etc.!
@ 2…Ohh Noooo.! Them dudes in that “Your A Jerk” video had them TIGHT AZZ HELL.! I was sooo SURPRISE when I saw them dancing in them. How can you wear them soo effing tight.! That wasn’t a good look or move. Whoever dress those boyz…need their azz SMACK.! LoL
I like ‘em on dudes that can pull it off as a whole outfit. It also depends on the body shape, I always thought the Jonas brothers should NOT wear them because they work out and have huge thighs.
The jeans that Kudi, Chris, KanYe and Wayne wear are really baggy at the top and tight at the bottom. The men version of skinny jeans are very different to the avaergae female pair. Because they wear them so low it looks much better than the baggy jeans we were used to.
They look like gay men… pathetic.
I love ‘em fitted!! If it’s your style like Wayne, CB, and Cudi then it’s totally acceptable. But if you randomly throw-on some skinnies and it’s not your natural rocker or prep style…then you fail miserably. But baggy ain’t all bad either, Jay Z still looks dope despite not giving in to the hype. Also, I know plenty of guys who NUTS fit just fine, so it ain’t a matter of package either! LMAO
package size*
A Guy in Skinny Jeans = Gay, Gay-Curious, Bi, Bi-Curious, or on the Downlow (i.e. Lil Wayne)
first of all skinny jeans = GAY!!!. However i dont mind loose fit but the whole skinny jeans ting is gayish + some people wear them and still sag so it dont mean nuffin.
@2 Them dues dont do the dance justice if you want to see the real jerk youtube th3 p.u.s.h or (teach me how to jerk)
Saggy azz jeans with drawers showing, HOOD, HOOD, GHETTO, HOOD!!!! but some negroes think that shyt is cute, trifling azzes. That’s why half of you can’t get away from the police, cause ur azz can’t run with those big azz jeans trippin u up,lmao.
if by “skinny” you mean the ones pictures then that’s cool to me. A slender, or slightly toned guy with nice fitting but still loose skinnies is a good look particularly if he has his own style and swagger but a fat or muscular dude squeezed into tight skinny jeans is NEVER a good look.I personally like that whole black skater/rocker look, it’s fresh and shows open-mindedness.Why should black men only be restricted to dressing one way?In the words of The Streets:”Let’s push things forward”.
BOMBBABY
I already knew that…cool
wayne looks stinky…..cb is shaped weird, i think he got to much thigh or something…kid cudi rocks it well, he’s just naturally lanky, with his big white tennis shoes lol, look like a little boy on the playground….overall, i like the look if the guy is lanky and at least sorta tall…otherwise, you look off
I have a group on facebook called Ban Men From Wearing Skinny Jeans Committee 2009.
Please consider joining.
Not a fan of skinny jeans, but i dont wear baggy jeans. Now lil dudes who are kinda thick like a chris brown should NOT wear skinny jeans, u need to be lil wayne or Omarion, before he got fat, size. But on to more important things, its cool to sag, i do a little, but these dudes show there entire azz, what part of the game is that? am i getting old?
they hot as long as they’re not squeezing nuts. lolz
depends on how skinny. if its just fitted jeans well then yes. im tired of the baggy look. it was NEVER cute. but if its jonas brothers,my balls cant breathe skinny well then we have a problem.
also depends on the person wearing them. some can carry the look some fail miserably.
also depends on age. something about a grown 35 year old man wearing skinny jeans is just off…OFFF
there are alot of depends in this case. but im all for them. im tired of seeing your pokemon draws LOL
okay I’m with #19 as far as this post came LATE AS HELL… but anyway,
I say no to skinny jeans for the guys. I perfer “fitted” jeans not skinny jeans
** prefer
I agree with #2. This skinny jeans fad seems more for the under 21 crowd.
I think older men should wear jeans that fit them (ie not too tight…not too baggy)
@ 44 LOL but really, sagging seems played to me whether your jeans are regular fit, slim fit, or baggy…I mean really, what is the point? It’s not cute and it’s something really gay about it to me especially to guys that wear wife beaters and shirts that clearly will show their underwear who sag. It’s amazing to me the interaction between men who do this and their admirers, and vice versa, but a lot of women just don’t seem to catch it for some reason.
Def hott…..
These so-called artists are paid to wear these tight-a$$ jeans to promote a more effeminate look. Just a couple of years ago Lil Wayne was wearing baggy jeans and Avirex jacket, and now this marmoset-looking negro is a rocker. The same with Chris Brown. They are paid to dress like this, and furthermore they are told what to wear by their label through their stylists, who are either women or h*mosexuals. These so-called “styles” come from the caucasian skateboarding set, and it mingled it’s way into hip hop, and from there into the black community, through that fa*got, Pharrell Williams. If alot of these young black men and black boys realized what goes into making something “stylish” and what the motivating factor behind “style” is, they would have to reconsider how they dress because it denotes a mentality.
Plus; niggas have the nerve to wear tight-a$$ jeans and still have their drawers and the crack of their a$$ showing in front of women, children, and straight men like a jailhouse b*tch, so it has nothing to do with a more mature look.
As long as the skinny isn’t skin tight skinny it can work. I personally don’t like pants that fit tight around the calf. As a tall slender man who doesn’t want to look like Ciara, i would opt for a nice fitting straight leg.
I’m not a fan of it–especially if your jeans are so tight we can see the outline of your package. It’s just NOT sexy at all. Baggy isn’t cool either, but what about a nice balance? No saggin’-ass prison look, but not this “I’ll be wearing Danskin spandex next week” look either. Make an effort to find a balance, y’all.
Their fine if you’re gay. Just kidding, but dudes have been wearing those for years when I was high school dudes wore skinny jeans all the time, they just didn’t call them that. They were “I can’t belive my mama made me wear these tight ass jeans to school, I hate her.” (LOL)
It’s too hot to be wering tight ass jeans the twins have to breathe!
I love the “fitted” look on guys…but I HATE the skinny jeans, with a passion.Our pants should not be matching…I shouldn’t see dudes shopping in the ladies’ section at Macy’s to buy jeans that will probably make their nuts explode. What is killing me about these comments that saggin is dead, these dudes are still saggin…saggin in skinny jeans!!!!! I’m sorry, I don’t care if that’s what a guy says it’s part of his swag…cut that part of your definition of swag because it doesn’t belong there. It’s stupid and I want to slap the guy who thought that bringing the skinny jeans back into play for dudes was cool…because it’s not cool.
Jamaican men have been rocking the skinny jeans look for a long time now, its only now that American men are following the trend too…I personally love it…my man wears skinny jeans all the time and he looks so sexy in them!
not skinny, but a nice relaxed fit.. that is pulled UP on the behind..
“baggy” does not equal “saggy”.. all jeans should be pulled up
