    Christ if it was ten years ago you would all be complaining about the baggy jeans the *ahem* "skaters" used to wear. :mad:

    And no don`t ban skinny jeans on men, if ya did that all the trousers i`d have left would be chords from 8 years ago (Wait where the hell did those come from:o)

    I can still fit into them, though I choose not to. They're best left to the young!

    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.

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

    Why do they hang the hats off the back of their heads? And why do they wear scarves with T-shirts? Where did these fashions come from?

    I think you'll find that this is where they came from :p

    I thought skinny jeans were only for emo kids and gays. Have they become more mainstream now?

    Yep. I'm neither of these things. Or I could be a gaymo.

    If only more guys felt this way! :D

    If a guy can pull off skinny jeans, then go for it. It's the same for women - not every woman can look good in a pair of skinnies but those that do look great. Male or female, skinny or baggy, dressing to suit your shape and with individual style is the most important thing. Generalisations such as "Ban ALL men from wearing skinny jeans!" are pretty pointless.

    Skinny people are now banned. That solves the whole jeans issue. No amount of Special K can sort that issue out. ;)

    Baggy jeans for some, miniature American flags for others.

    I'd rather be banned and locked away and let my skinny jeans have their freedom than have them stripped from the shelves and from my legs.

    Actually that was me too. I ****ed up the registration.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    God I really admire ye real men. I wish I was one. Teach me!

    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!
