HOT OR NOT: DUDES IN SKINNY JEANS?
Wednesday, June 24, 2009

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

I like it..always have
i mean dudes been rocking skinny jeans since the 80’s then the 90’s came around (and had them looking like takey ass thugs) but now that it’s back i hope it stays…it’s fly on SOME men (wether it’s skinny or striaght leg) as long as it’s fits..
not to The Dream..please DON’T

Smart cut, skinny, and striaght leg jeans all look great on dudes. Well if you got the frame and body for it, it looks nice.
Outta those pics, I say it looks the BEST on Cudi (slim and slender frame)

As a dude Im not feeling the str8 leg or skinny jeans, but to each his own. I like having comfort and not sweaty stank balls when I take my jeans off.

I think skinny jeans and straight leg jeans are being confused in this post. 501’s are cool on quite a few body types, 511 or 514’s on the other hand are not ok no matter how skinny you are or are not.

umm to everyone sayin wearing skinny jeans means your gay or bi or dl is just ridiculous..i mean talk about a stereotype
all girls that wear weaves are baldheaded!!

if you can rock the look go for it..its not for everyone but please dont base someone sexuality or masculinity off a pair of jeans that is absurd

I think skinny jeans are the best there is. That’s all I wear, and mine are really tight. I look good in mine though, because i’m skinny, but not skin and bones.

as a guy i think that skinny jeans look good on in shape guys. if you know how to wear them they won’t squeeze your *junk*. if guys wear them like gangsters then they should stop. they’re not supposed to be around your knees/ankles. they are supposed to be on your hips. the ladies have actually been complementing me on my package. i don’t think that skinny jeans are only for the ladies(tip:if you’ve got a big butt then you souldn’t wear them i don’t think its hot on girls).

Baggy jeans look like you have poopy in your pants. When ever I see a guy wearing them, before he opens his mouth he looks just plain ol’ dumb and ghetto.
Pull up your pants men-it’s time out for that mess!!!

Dudes shouldn’t wear jeans that look like they’re trying out for a part in the Nutcracker (literally), that ish is super gay. Oh yeah, dudes pull up yo pants because if you claim you’re not gay then you’re sure giving the fags an eye full.

the skinny jean look on looks right on certain people. I am iffy about it becuase it has been linked to the gay community 4 so long, but like some one be4 me said its all about confidence. so i know i could rock ‘em. i hate 2 see fat dudes in ‘em tho….that screams gay 2 me…so if u r the right person, yeah.

Damn does this warrant 100+ comments? lol
What really looks stupid is when guys try to sag in skinny jeans like Lil wayne above. Skinny jeans are not meant to be sagged! He looks like his crotch starts at his knees! SMH
And baggy jeans were in for so long we forgot what regular fitting pants look like, not every dude is trying to follow a trend, some just want to wear clothes that fit.

I couldn’t be more proud. There is nothing more attractive than a unique confident man……especially a black man, who is bold enough 2 live outside of the box, inspite of the negative backlashes from “INSECURE DICKHEADS.”
If it makes you happy, then by all means………..
it’s all about being “YOU,” it’s all about doing “YOU.”
I CAN’T BE MAD AT THAT!!! DEUCE!

CHRIS BROWN SUPPORTER!!
Wednesday, June 24, 2009 /
yes indeed, skinny jeans are very sexy but they aren’t for everybody. as for the three men in the picture they look good and pull it off to a t. chris brown wears his with dunks all the time and lil wayne wears his with nike or vans. never really seen kid cudi with them before but he doesn’t look too bad either. stay stylish and sexy guys (:

dont waste ur time
Wednesday, June 24, 2009 /
the homophobia in the black community is really out of control..
has it really come to this? we cant wear clothes that fit and express our personalities without being labeled homosexual?
and then there are the hoodrats who dont know nuffin but hoodrat sh*t talkin bout they dont like em…i live in DC and everyone here rocks em for the most part…and in other parts of the country like LA they been doin it a lot longer…
what is the big deal..
sometimes and i hate to say this but being mixed is no fun….im embarrassed sometimes at how my race treats one another and over the silliest stuff..we cant even be individuals anymore without it being attacked…black people some of us really have issues …smh

um these aren’t really skinny jeans, but me as a female I’m just not attracted to men with baggy jeans, neither ones wear I can see underwear, and from the looks of it I all three of those guys (wayne, chris,cude) are showin draws in the back, that’s not hot either.

Nope, this style doesnt work. And it’s not new, in London dudes have been rocking this look since 2005. It may be the end off baggy but they are still saggy which just looks sad, like they borrowed their sisters jeans or something. I prefer what John Legend has on in the next post, fitting not tight, grown and sexy.

I have been in Korea for a year and ALL the men wear skinny jeans and carry handbag like bags. Still not used to it. Hope this trend doesn’t last long in the States.

Cudi looks so hawt!! I love his take on fashion, he is experimental like kanYe. Here in London most of my male friends rock skinnies and look damn good too! Black people need to stop being so narrow minded in regards to fashion. That whole notion of skinny jeans= gay is ignorant and sooooo stupid. I dont think every man can get away with skinny jeans. Those with a waist above 32 inches for example should steer clear because it’s not flattering. But equally really skinny guys shouldn’t wear excessively baggy jeans because that looks just as bad. Dress for your shape and ur all good ^_^

baggy jeans symbolizes prison and sports culture, two forms of enslavement of black men. I say go naked and kiss the earth.

I only see islanders sag their skinny jeans here in NYC. It’s so tacky. And they try too damn hard! A million colors and labels ill. This generation doesn’t know how to dress. No one really has their own style, it’s all about copying and labels. The saggin skinny jeans look uncomfortable and just plain WACK!

Skinny jeans are TIGHT, the jeans they are wearing are still pretty baggy

The same goes for both men and women, if you have the right body type, you can wear skinny jeans.
Nobody fat or nobody with a belly should be allowed to wear them.

To each its own I say I myself dnt like it cuz it is nothing sexy about a man wearing jeans like mine but I have people I know who wear it and it suits them it is the style now so it is like what ever I’m from the old school so they probably would say the same thing about some things that used to be in style sooooo if you like it I love it wear what u like dnt change u cuz somebody else don’t like it be u if that’s u wear it if it ant don’t period.

That’s whats wrong with society you from extreme to the next. went to fitted to baggy, now to tight jeans for dudes? the gays and their trends. This is ridiculous. How about for 2009 we actually wear that actually fits us gentlemen. SMH.

Topman has cute clothes for guys. But it isn’t for black guys who have ass and legs. Those sizes are hella small. The underwear are cute and the hoodies are too. Those crackhead jeans Chris has on are not cute.

They are wearing skinny jeans. I have a pain of straight legs and they don’t look like that. The problem is that they are wearing skinny jeans loose…but they are still skinny jeans. you can tell by the cut. I’ve seen big chicks look hot in skinny jeans though so i don’t even know what to say. They still arent’ for everyone. As much as I like peen I don’t like to see it look like a sleeping bag in your pants.

Idk that’s a tuff one cuz some look a mess with jeans so tight there boys can’t breath (New Boyz) and some wear them not so tight with a lot of swag (Lil Wayne, Cudi).
But like stretch pants in sizes 14+ (and skinny jeans for that matter) they ain’t for everybody (every body)!

Skinny jeans are GAY!!!!! It’s one thing to wear something fitted… but all these dudes running around with these booty tight jeans… wearing them below their behind… nothing classic or appealing about it! My man is tall and slim… so baggy is terrible… but fitted is the way… wear what goes with your body type… but Black folks LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE to OVERDO IT!

I think it’s a good look. I’m from London and have been sporting Skinny/fitted jeans for a couple years now, it’s all i wear. I don’t think it’s for everyone, but if u can rock it and still look masculine, i say go for it.

their ok , to me its just the fashion merry-go-round, guy use to wear the skinny/ straight leg jeans back in the day i guess their back in style again, no biggie u just can’t be a husky dude wearing them, i think they look better when you have a slinder build

They are hot as long as I can’t see your balls AND your ass. I hate seeing these fucking kids running around w/ tight ass pants BUT their undies hanging out @ the same time. Get a damn clue… you look like a FUCKING CLOWN.

It’s a trend, and it will past in due time.
Its funny because white guys/ skaters have been wearing them forever I remember a few years ago the emo kids used to get picked on by the black guys for wearing their jeans so tight, and now those same guys are wearing them now!
I have to agree with Judah its just a look that these artist and men in the black community are trying to persue. Its sad, fake, and trendy.

Those are NOT skinny jeans they are STRAIGHT LEG JEANS. They use to wear them in the 80s during the beginning of hip hop. Nothing wrong with them as long as they are loose at the top. All of artists you shown look fine. Nothing is too tight around their crotch so I’m cool with it. If they were wearing tight-ass nutt hugging jeans I definitely have to say hell nah!

wats hot wats not
Sunday, July 5, 2009 /
Guys wearing skinny jeans started with emo and rocker kids trying to get a diffderent look from the bagging pants back in the 90’s and now that almost everyone is wearing them the trend will die. Another trend will emerge starting with them and it will follow the skinny jeans its a cycle once a small group does something different from the larger group and if the larger group follows them then the smaller one will make a new trend trying to stay different from the larger group.
plus iv already fashion desighners from Europe say that the era of skinny jeans are over and once they go so will we.
