I wear them when I have some that still fit me. I am either wearing skinny jeans, or slight-skinny jeans.

I love them I wear them with converse. I'm not "emo" though, or w/e. xD I just <3 them. I'm a pant size 3 (or sometimes a 4) so I think I can pull them off pretty OK. But I don't like those bright colored ones, especially red / blue... eeyuuckk...lol. I stick to black/almost black/Grey.

I voted "hate them" because in my school its this huge craze and everyone shows up in like pea green skinny jeans. I understand the black and the grey, but the colors are sort of...insane. I also am getting annoyed because I can't find any NORMAL jeans. I like to wear flare jeans, but now all the stores have are skinny ones. haha as Neco said, they do not make short ones. The pair I tried on (friends made me : I was first stuck in because I could NOT get them past my knees, and then they went all the way to my toes. haha that ended any urge to get them. If you go to Hollister they have S sizes, the only ones that remotely fit me. I have 25'' legs, I doubt yours are any shorter unless you're under 13 years of age. And err yeah stores still sell flares, and usually at least 30% off normal price? Walk into any Hollister or A&F, they're $30-$40 or less. Don't like those stores, then deal with it I guess. They do still manufacture them, they just sell them at a lesser price. As for me, that's all I wear. I don't wear Boot Cut, and I'd never be caught dead wearing flares. I'm rather thin compared to other people (although proportionally I'm just about average) so they fit fine and I think look alright. Jeans overall look good on almost anyone. Although I don't enjoy seeing unhealthily obese people wearing jeans in general, as they usually insist on wearing tight low-cuts and their tushies hang out over the top... Ick. I'm not up in that whole 'EMO' hype.... It's so, 2007 middle schooler, teenybopper.... Even now I think it's starting to die out, thank god.

Well.. the word skinny to describe anything I wear just doesn't work, being a size 20 (but on a diet!).
But the jeans I wear are very very skin tight at the thigh, but they flare out below the knee a bit. All my clothes are very form fitting except for my winter coat (but none of them ride up like a lot of tight clothes do.. I hate that! I need to be able to pull my shirt down below my butt), but that's mostly because if I wear anything remotely baggy it makes me look a whole lot more than just full figured.
As for guys wearing them.. It makes me giggle a bit because they must be uncomfortable, but I really don't care one way or another what someone else wears (with the exception of religious symbols.. I hate that -_- I don't get offended or anything, it just feels like they're flaunting things that don't need to be flaunted).

They do still manufacture them, they just sell them at a lesser price. Depending on where you are, Bootcuts and flares are EXTREMELY difficult to find. Most stores around here don't carry anything but skinny jeans, and if they do, they are actually MORE expensive. Mind you, we don't have an A/E, A/F, Hollister, etc within 6 hours of here. But in general. I have a very hard time finding jeans that a) arent size 0, and b) arent skinny jeans. Most stores carry 8 and lower in sizes (medium or smaller), and only carry skinny jeans. Ugh.

here the only place i can find skinny jeans is pretty much at hot topic. >.<
and if i do find them anywhere else (along with other jeans) they're not my size. everywhere i go they never have size 0.. but they always have 5's so i'm definitely working up to a 5.
i love skinny heans with heels or boots.. converse too. but anything else.. noooooo way. and i don't like skinny jeans on boys.. they look silly. lol. like i don't like wicked baggy pants on a guy because.. well.. their butts tend to hang out.. but just a normal well fitting pair of jeans that are neither skinny jean or wicked baggy is cool.
and i think that all sorts of girls should wear skinny jeans.. like idk. they shouldn't just look right on thin girls. they should look great on everyone if they are the right fit.
ugh. i hope this is understandable.. it's really late and i'm tired.. so mind isn't what it should be. lol.

I buy 90% of my jeans at Kohls and I don't have trouble finding wider leg jeans :/. I don't know what you would call the jeans I wear XD
Anywho... I don't really care what I look like for the most part. If it fits and I don't feel too subconscious that my butt is gonna fall out of them then I'm good!

Oh, I only buy normal coloured ones, haha.

I like skinny jeans, and I can pull them off, but im not obsessed with them, I love my flare and boot cut jeans. And I get my flares from Charollette Russe (sp?) they are the same price as skinnies. :3

If people can pull it off, good for them. If not, go give the jeans to some tiny 10 year old please. For the wider leg jeans, I simply go to Eddie Bauer. They always have them in the store that I go to and they're always online too. So, there are normal jeans out there.

Personally, I hate them. They don't fit me right, nor all the people I know that wear them. I tried on a pair once, just for fun, and they wouldn't go past my butt. Like a few other people said, it is really hard now to find regular jeans. I'm a 11/12 LONG so it's hard for me to begin with, and now it's all the more difficult.
I'm not "old-fashioned" persay, but I can't stand when I see most of a guy's boxers, especially in skinny jeans. I think it's kind of trashy.
I don't care if other people wear them. I won't, though. I'm not into fashion whatsoever. If it's comfortable (and cute), I'll wear it.

Hmm, I'm 00( smallest size) so I hope they look ok? I have pretty long legs too. I actually don't mind skinnies on boys I actually don't mind the kind of emo look on boys either(except when they look like girls ) But that might explain why. Haha sorry... kind of random..

Wait, who said skinny jeans looked bad on people with bigger pant sizes? I've had friends who are size 7-8 wear skinnies, and they look great! (they're tall, long legs, and although their legs are maybe 2.5 times the size of mine, proportionally they look normal and with skinny jeans they look good).
I think it's more a matter of how and what you wear with them.

Perhaps its the sizes that people wear, because most people I know are bigger, but they squeeze into sizes that are skin tight and too small and then it looks unattractive. If they have their actual size, then they look okay, but other than that.. not really.

To be honest...I don't like them at all. IMO, people can wear whatever they want...but, for some reason, these bother me..mostly when I see guys wear them. But then again, I like half way baggy pants and I like my guys to look masculine.
