The jeans in the picture on this page definately aren't what I consider "skinny." They don't have a taper at all. Can we change it?

Yes, those darlings aint skinny at all.

[edit] Punkers

That sounds fucking retarded. That's a term 60 year old women use to describe punks. Changing to "punks". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.46.21.12 (talk) 10:10, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] NPOV

This article is tagged because its neutrality is disputed. I can't tell what exactly is being disputed, though. Anyone want to clue me in or can we take the tag off? AliaGemma 03:47, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Come on....

This article seems like it was written by a moronic 15 year old "scene kid." First of all, skinny jeans are simply straight leg pants. I used to wear the "classic fit" jeans from The Limited Too when I was a little kid. They were skinny jeans. Skinny jeans are pretty much two parallel lines. Now, tapered jeans, also known as cigarette pants, drainpipes, and whatnot, actually hug the leg all the way down to the ankle. This creates a "V" shape to the leg. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Spuddy 17 (talk • contribs) 02:33, 18 February 2007 (UTC).

I believe you removed too much content in your edits. I don't necessarily agree with some of the content, but to have an article about a style, you have to describe the style in some way. Simply saying the style exists is not acceptable and could lead to the article getting tagged further than it was. --Mattarata 03:38, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
OK, fair enough. I can agree that the style should be described. Someone think of something else to add to the article that is accurate. But just because an article needs a description doesn't mean that any ole description, accurate or not, should be applied to it. Spuddy 17 09:05, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
Well i took out the emo reference, but i put back the general description, it is not horrible, rather it needs cleanup. If you disagree with it, please make an attempt to edit, rather than simply removing the content. --Mattarata 14:12, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
I disagree. The jeans being marketed nowadays as "skinny jeans" are definitely not just straight leg jeans. Skinny jeans do hug the leg all the way down. Some confusion might be do to the picture shown on the article page. I do not believe that it is a good representation. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by AliaGemma (talk • contribs) 06:46, 20 February 2007 (UTC).


I think the neutrality problems with this article have been resolved, so I am removing the tag. Calliopejen 01:03, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pants

In Britain, the term "Pants" commonly refers to undergarments, and I have never heard it being used to refer to trousers, in the UK. Shouldn't the article's name use a more widely accepted term, such as "Jeans"? Daisy-berkowitz 15:56, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

I don't think the title should be changed to "jeans," because the style is about more than just jeans. I don't know about the trousers vs. pants debate... Trousers is understood but infrequently used in the U.S (and sounds stilted to my ears). A google search has 64 million pants results and 12 million trousers results.

[edit] Link problems

This corroborates a couple of requested cites, but currently a URL added earlier is hitting the spamfilter. Will (hopefully) come back to this later.... Nick Cooper 22:34, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Men's Skinny Jeans

I read the article looking for information about men's skinny or slim-fit jeans, and I was surprised to not find them mentioned as a current fashion. These have become a mainstream style for men now, for example Levi 511 jeans which are readily available at many retailers and online sites. Another example is the men's jean selection at urbanoutfitters.com which includes skinny as one the fits. I don't consider myself qualified to update the article to include men's skinny jeans, but I think it would be an appropriate addition in order to make the article more complete.
