5 Rules For
Skinny Jeans
The best thing about skinny jeans on men is that all of the baby boomers who got laughed at for their embroidered bell bottom jeans can do the pointing and  snickering now, but it doesn't have to be that way. Men can wear skinny jeans – the first thing you have to know is that there are rules! The main one being that you should wear only male skinny jeans. Nobody wants to see you in your girlfriend's pants.
1. Have the right body type. You don't have to be super skinny to wear skinny jeans. You just have to be proportioned well. As long as you are reasonably shaped in mostly straight lines, you can rock the look.
2. Have the right personality. You don't have to be an actual rock star, but if you are a happy accountant who loves his preppie  wardrobe, the minute you put on skinny jeans you might look like an unhappy undercover agent. Unless you will be comfortable wearing them, don't do it.
 3. Choose a reputable brand that has stretch-ability in its jeans. This will be a little tricky. The major brands who have incorporated this aspect into their skinny jeans' lines do not advertise it.
4. Make sure they fit properly. Skinny jeans should not look like a straw of denim. They should sit just below your waist and have enough room so that you can sit down properly without having to be uncomfortable about wearing it. The legs should be close fitting, and should taper in a little at the ankles.
5. Accessorise properly. If you are manly enough to wear skinny pants, you can rock accessories. A fitted, slim shirt is good as long as it is not too tight or an obnoxious color or pattern. Slim, flat shoes or sneakers work well. Don't choose something too clunky or you will look like you have Mickey Mouse feet, and there is nothing Mickey Mouse about a man who can wear skinny jeans and accessorise with style.
