Skinny jeans for men have been all over the place recently (in case you are slow to the uptake), being sported by everyone from Kanye to Zac Efron. But the man skinny may not be new to all of us. Indeed, my high school years were spent at punk rock shows where the coolest of cool men wore skin-tight women’s jeans. Back then we always thought, the tighter the jeans the hotter the man. And although I digress, the same skinny jean logic may still apply today.
In our opinion, there are no black and white rules about any jean style—even the skinny jean. Wait, control z. The rule is, if the style makes you look bad, do yourself (and us!) a favor and don’t buy it. When a jean looks bad on you, it hurts us all. Especially those of us who work in the custom jean business. So when you shop for your skinny jean (men this is your cue to listen up), just make sure the jean flatters your body. And for those who like their skinny jeans, well, skinny, please note that the bulge is not yet a fashion statement we endorse. Sorry boys.
Bulges aside… the skinny jean has begun to penetrate white collar conversations, so much so that even The Wall Street Journal felt obliged to weigh in (see video below).
And although you can’t yet get a man skinny at indiDenim.com, we suggest you cross your fingers and wish really hard. Who knows what the future will hold…

Its funny, at my school (a fashion school)a this young designer loves his skinny jeans. I swear he has redesigned the “cod” piece because that is about that burns the memory. There are more women at the school being forced to look at his bulge that is totally being marketed to a different sex!
