I agree with the OP and on the same point I think all women's clothing should be banned.

Yes but do you really want people like Beth Ditto walking around naked?

I won't post a link to a pic of her to save the horror. Google at your own risk!

I use my skinny jeans to spread the ghey.

This epidemic has gone so bad people are mistaking straight leg Levis for skinny jeans.

I wear skinny jeans. Why?

Because they suit me, I feel comfortable in them, I'm the right weight/shape for them and I like them.

I gurantee the people that are against skinny jeans are those who have only seen a handful of men wearing them and didn't suit them and have now formed an opinion of them. Either that or they're just pissed off that their boyfriends don't suit skinny jeans and are gonna attempt to ban them.

I wear clothes that people say they wouldn't dream of wearing which is fair enough. Clothes, like opinions are subjective and it depends on the type of person.

If you don't like it then fine but don't go off and start a Facebook group demanding that all skinny jeans be banned from the country. People will still wear them regardless so you'll have to get used to it I'm afraid.

Also I wear cardigans. Maybe not the "old man" cardigans but these type of cardigans.

ahh for f*ck sake. your like a women going on a big rant. you feel comfortable wearing them?..that sounds gay. man, get a grip. nobody should give a f*ck what anyone wears except if it's like so gender-inefficient like skin tight pink shirts on men etc...

I think Ireland needs a good war to drain all these woMEN out...

Yeah and while we're at it ban leggings and belly tops on fat girls.

Precisely.

When women start listening to fashion advice from men on how they should dress, then they can start dishing out some to men as to what they should and shouldn't be wearing.

In my day, skinny jeans were called Skags.

Degsy would love this.

One day me and a mate bounced off school as I had a free gaff and we decided to phone the Gerry Ryan show and complain about mental abuse at home.

So my mate says he is staying with a friend (me) as his mother cut up all his 'Skags' and that they were the only jeans he had.

Gerry fell for the whole thing and kept him on for an hour nearly.

Wonder if it's in their archives somewhere.

I don't think anyone is actually suggesting that skinny jeans be banned, man.

They do disgust me, what i wonder is how the fúck they sit down without them ripping/??

My mate who recently started college and joined the skinny jean culture, now him and his mates might as well be in uniform

Skinny jeans look well uncomfortable too me, conforming against comfort seems a bit crazy.

I'll start by getting mammy to buy me a nice shirt in Dunnes, and some bootcuts of course. Maybe a bit of Brylcreem. Oh and a haircut, short all over. Watch out ladies, I'm a real man!

Skinny jeans are the epitomy of neat, cut like suit slacks, jeans should cover most of your shoe!

Getting tougher and tougher to get jeans with a decent bootcut at the monemt as well, its either crazy flare or a tiny bootcut,
Was in the states last year and couldnt get any decent bootcuts, all skinny, the dude in the shop said nobody weras them any more, I'd never get used to wearing skinny jeans and the clownfoot that goes along with them.

How's about everyone just doesn't give a fvck what anyone else wears? If it upsets you so much, then just stay indoors all day and look at yourself in the mirror.

Fair enough...

toast anyone ?

Don't understand all the skinny/ slim jeans hate at all. I hate bootcut jeans because they pretty much cover your shoes, I hate how wide they are at the bottom, and when it's raining (which it inevitably is in Ireland), you see people in bootcut jeans with wet patches that almost reach the back of the knee. Skinny and slim fitting jeans dont come close to touching the ground, so you stay nice and dry.

Also, they are not nearly as uncomfortable as people make them out to be (they feel similar to straight leg jeans really). It's funny that in most other countries you'd be laughed at for wearing big gangly bootcut jeans, but here it's the opposite. I've never seen such a tirade against any piece of clothing as there is for guys wearing skinny jeans. It's hardly that big of a deal is it? They are only pants at the end of the day ffs.

If i saw somewhere skinny jeans that didnt look like some emo or rocker head i would just think they are gay tbh. And im prob not in a minority here.

I must have missed the day the majority of the Irish public were taught how to determine a person's sexual orientation from the jeans they wear. That's a pretty impressive skill to bolster.

Wibbs · 16-01-2010 12:12pm

I reckon skinny jeans and the like are grand in one way. Younger types wear them and younger types have always worn stuff that older types go WTF! over. So an older type like me sees some 18 yr old bloke wearing jeans that make it look like his arse fainted and i go WTF. Long may it continue.

Where it gets silly is when you see a tubby 35 yr old wearing them. Get a grip mate.

icescreamqueen · 16-01-2010 12:42pm

I just think that a lot of people in Ireland conform to certain trends to fit in to certain groups, rather than wear what suits them and having an individual style. Yes skinny jeans suit some girls but skinny jeans do not suit men. I do not want to see the outline of your leg in skinny jeans.

Where's the abercrombie and fitch, popped collar, sweat pants, and diamond earring hate brigade then? Cos I see far far more of those groups of people on a daily basis in Ireland.

icescreamqueen · 16-01-2010 1:03pm

To me, skinny jeans is the most offensive trend out there and they are so popular but suit so few people. Dress yourself for yourself and to suit your body, not to please your friends, trends and to tick all these style boxes!

Wibbs · 16-01-2010 2:11pm

The clue is in the name. Skinny jeans. If you're not skinny dont wear them. Simple. Belly tops are slightly different in that if you have a belly dont bloody wear them.

Rockee · 16-01-2010 2:13pm

Those bloody dutch clogs the indie kids wear along with them too...ugh!

Don't tell me you wouldn't hit this

bluto63 · 16-01-2010 2:26pm

I feel skinny jeans suit me, so I wear them. I'm comfortable in them. I'd say more comfortable than other jeans. Other jeans ride up your crack when you're slouching even slightly when sitting. Not in skinny jeans.
