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 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.

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.

BEN

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.

@ 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.

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!

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?

27.

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

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.

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

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”.

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

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?

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

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)

LULU

Wednesday, June 24, 2009 /

@ 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.

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.

53.

JUDAH

Wednesday, June 24, 2009 /

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.

54.

The Truth

Wednesday, June 24, 2009 /

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.

55.

Boppie

Wednesday, June 24, 2009 /

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.

56.

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)

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.

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

61.

Wednesday, June 24, 2009 /

@Chatty Patty american men have also been rocking skinny jeans for a long time. do you not remember the 70s disco or the punk 80s. even hip hoppers used to wear skinny high-waisted jeans.

i’m not a fan of actual skinny jeans on men, because i think it looks like you are pulling a Pete Wentz and wearing your wife/girlfriend’s pants! not too cool with that. i HATE baggy jeans! say NO to the sag! i like a man with jeans that fit his frame.

not that you asked, but i also HATE the long t-shirt thing! it looks like they wanna wear a dress!

BUT REFFERING TO THE PIC WEEZY AND CUDI CAN SLIGHTY GET AWAY WITH IT AND PULL IT OFF BUT BREZZY JUST NEED TO STOP IT STICK WITH WHAT WORKS FOR YOU THAT GOES FOR WOMEN TOO WHO NO THEY TO BIG TO ROCK EM’

I was watching a Health video the other day (don’t ask, nothing was on) and it said that tight jeans squeeze the balls too close to the man’s body causing them to heat up. And when the balls heat up, the sperm starts malfunctioning causing a deformity in the males reproductive system.So basically, if you boys want children in the future, skinny jeans are NOT a good idea.

Anywho - I personally don’t like them. But I think it depends on the person. Like, Lil Wayne does not wear them correctly IMO. I prefer them “fitted” not Baggy - that’s just nasty and immature - and not tight - that’s just feminine and..gross.

I think there is a difference in the way some people rock them. If I can see your package…it’s not a good look. There is a difference between TIGHT and a slim, fitted jean. Tight jeans are not poppin.

I rarely comment but I need to commit on this..…
Personally I hate baggy pants everyone feels baggy pants has a connection with hip hop b/c most hip hop artist use to rock this style, please baggy pants was created in jail where most inmates didn’t have belts to hold up their pants.
Basically these hip hop artist were promoting an incarceration style, and why would you want your pants sagging in jail which shows basically the crack of your behind? I’m for skinny jeans and fitted jeans if it fits correctly and no crack or underpants is showing…Its 2009 free your mind and grow up.

72.

Wednesday, June 24, 2009 /

Why is it when Rockers, Skateboarders, what have you wear these jeans and they are white, its not a gay issues.

However when it hits the black community, its suddenly gay thing?!!

News flash gay people wear baggy jeans, and timbs too…guess all men should stop doing that too, well you because the gays are doing it.

I swear our community is going self distruct with the emphasis on being hyper masculine, thuggish, hyper sexual individuals the media and our own people make us out to be.

but i dont think skinny are for every type of man..
even if i wouldnt call those pants skinny cuz they aint that tight.
lol.
but im feelin em.

74.

theFOXXY.

Wednesday, June 24, 2009 /

i dont think some of you get the look.

what Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, and Cudi are wearing are STRAIGHT LEG jeans.

SKINNY JEANS = the pants extreme punk rock white dudes wear. the ones that are as tight as womens jeans. some even wear women pants because they’re so tight.

the pants that Tianna has as an example are obviously more tighter than the ones that most black boys/men are wearing currently.

i personally think that its fresh look. the straight leg jean that is.
dudes still sag with them on.
