Even when it's change the rest of the world loves. One thing I've had a hard time getting used to is the re-emergence of skinny jeans. Not like the jeans pictured here, I mean really <em>really</em> skinny jeans. You know, the "I'm going to pop a seam because I can barely get my size 11 feet through the ankle hole" type of jeans. 

Such a small percentage of people look good in super skinny jeans. Listen, I realize some people can rock them. But the rest of us look like upside down triangles, with big hips, tiny ankles, and big clunky feet.

Bootcut, yes. Straight leg? Sure, why not. Slightly slim? Go for it. Super super skinny jeans? For the love of all that is holy, please don't, unless you have verified with blunt and <strong>unbiased</strong> sources that you are part of the 2% that can pull it off. You will be kicking yourself in a decade when you look back at the unflattering pictures. And men, please no. Just don't. Period.

Go on, throw stones. I know my opinion is not very fashion-forward. But here it is, laid out for the world to ridicule. 

I <em>can</em> get on board with jeans like Alloy's <a href="http://www.alloyapparel.com/product/pipers+closet+double+button+bootcut+jean+174693.do?sortby=ourPicks&refType=">Pipers Closet Double Button Downs</a> though- slim enough through the leg to be flattering, but they don't look like they're cutting off blood flow to the feet. And guess what, they come in 37" inseams!
