The Skinny (Male Edition)

Men are usually so sensitive about their junk that when male skinny jeans became the new hot thing I thought you would resist. But some of you fell into the trap and are traipsing around in studded skinnys thinking you look good. Get it together. There are ways to rock this look while still looking manly, fashionable and dare I say sexy but you have to do it right. How to get the look:

1. Keep it simple: If you do prefer to wear tighter than average jeans please beware of excess embellishments, studs, designs and even too many colors. Jeans used to be all about simplicity and somewhere along the line ladies started dressing them up, that doesn’t mean you have to do it too. Think of your jeans as a jumping off point for the rest of you outfit. Your jeans need not be showy. Think about it tight jeans…rhinestones…a studded belt…TOO MUCH. Go for understated designs like Joes Jeans over the Antiks.

2. Keep it tight: Not as in size but as in physique. Skinny jeans afford you the opportunity to show us what you got, no chimmy changas please, but we can get a pretty nice silhouette from skinny jeans and a nice pocketed button-up perhaps. Make sure you’re putting your best foot forward bodywise.

3. It's all about the fit: Since you can’t really explain why your belt is tightened underneath your buttcheeks you should probably buy jeans you can wear at the waist or with a SLIGHT sag (remember the male pant principle and think you want to belt this but you don’t need to belt it). Also, please make sure they leave something to the imagination, if not for you then do it for the kids, it’s too hot in there man.

There are so many jean styles out there that it’s easy for you to find a pair that looks like it was made for you, look for those jeans instead of looking for the next big thing...Don't do this to yourself.
