Skinny jeans http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?catalogId=19551&storeId=12556&categoryId=115937&parent_category_rn=115935&langId=-1&top=Y
I know they're women's, but you get the picture. They're pretty much just tight jeans, that don't flare out at the bottom even a little bit.
You don't have to be skinny to wear them, nope. They can be dead flattering on most shapes I think. You get varying degrees of 'skinniness'. I personally wouldn't go for proper drain pipe type ones, because they're just too tight to be comfortable.

I believe you mean "skin tight" they are tight,stretchy jeans, you can even get them in XXL now,not favourable but available, if your skinny they dont look good either

they are just jeans that fit skinny at the ankles hint the name skinny jeans and you dont need to be skinny to wear them
by Sodapop on March 13th, 2009
Tight at the ankle and nope. I've seen bigger people in them.

There are two correct answers to this question:
The obvious answer is the style of jean that are slim fitting through the hip and thigh and tight at the ankle
The other answer is that every woman has jeans that she can only fit into when at her 'skinniest'. She calls those her skinny jeans and she feels great when she can squeeze into them. Then there's fat jeans for those...'other' days.

theres no hard and fast rules - but its best if skinny or slim people wear them :)

They are jeans that are very form fitting, and very tight at the ankle. You don't HAVE to be skinny to wear them, but I've seen an obese person wearing them, and it was pretty disturbing. (Not to offend any obese people, but some clothes are made just for a specific body type.)

Skinny jeans are just jeasn that are tight around the ankles and doesn't flare. I think that skinny jeans are for skinny people, because I've seen some fat people with skinny jeans and that look ridiculous.

i dont know but it blew my mind to find out guys actually wear girls jeans. i worked a shitty job inbetween real jobs 3 or 4 years back. and i would always tease these douchebags about how their pants were tighter then girls pants. then i was a witness to a girl asking one of these guys if he wanted the jeans she got for christmas cause she wont wear them. amazing!!!

I thought that meant they were for skinny people to wear because heavy set people would not look good in them.
Shows what I know about marketing. LOL

I hate them for sure. They are too tight.

You need to be trim to look good wearing any jeans. I wear both Levi's 501 shrink to fit button fly and 511 skinny jeans. The skinny jeans are trimmer and lower cut but just as comfortable. The skinny jeans flatter and provide a sensual look.

Thanks, I wasn't paying attention to the ad. Just heard the name and thought it was a weird name. Apparently, I don't have to worry about it.

Actually, I love my "drain pipe" skinny jeans. They stretch with me everywhere and they're actually my most comfortable pair of jeans
by Rhia baby on April 22nd, 2009
Fair enough :) I like my skinny jeans, but just not quite that skinny. Saying that, I did used to have a nice pair of black drain pipe ones though that were dead comfy. I suppose it just depends on the fit.
