I like tapered jeans because i have fairly larger thighs and i hate the baggy bottoms because i like to let people see my shoes Edit:thanks for 747 likes
I got to try out tapered jeans because my legs are pretty muscular. My legs are a bit thin around my calves but my thighs are above average size. For straight jeans I find them usually kind of tight around my thighs and I feel like I can barely move so I buy one size bigger to accommodate for my thighs, but tapered sounds like the way to go for me.
Just as mentioned before. Levis 512 jeans are amazing. The perfect hybrid between slim and skinny. I have thin legs,too and the 512 really fit me well and look good on me. I always struggled with finding good fitting jeans I feel comfortable in. Until I found the 512
I had the same experience. I never felt confident in any jeans I wore, including 511s, I had no knowledge of style and fit until these last 6 months. I found the 512s and I'm so happy now. First time in my life I'm confident about the jeans I wear. Plus I have small calves so they fit easier
Great explanation with the skinny jeans and thin legs. I've been trying to convince my very thin legged friend that his regular fit jeans are too baggy for him and for him to try getting some skinnnies. I think his perception of skinny jeans are that they are skin tight and will undoubtedly expose his thin legs even further.
unfortunately it isn't that easy. These styles only are a rough oriantation. Actual fit varies a lot with each brand and model. Same with sizes, same size might fit me perfect but other model i can't even get in really.
The invention of loose fit jeans changed my life. Regular jeans never worked for me with the big butt/thighs and a small waist. There was either tons of room around the waist or super tight across the rear if I sized down. I wish loose fit had been around when I was younger. The only thing back then was button fly Levis which were cut fuller. Even the regular fit jeans worn in this video look skinny to me.
For me I mainly wear two jean cuts, a straight and slim taper... Levis 501 or 511... if you dont like a button fly i think the 502s or 505 are the same straight cut as 501s but zippered. A straight cut jean is timeless. well trends come and go, a good fitting straight cut jean will always remain relevant style wise, especially for older men. A slim taper is something i've grown to love in my mid-late 20s more and more as I've buillt up a decent Jordan sneaker collection. I strayed away from slim tapered jeans most of my life as I was confused between the difference of slim tapered and skinny jeans and im not the type of guy that would ever wear skinny or ripped and torn fashion jeans... but I ordered a slim taper pair of jeans online by accident years ago and its become a staple in my style ever since. For sneaker lovers especially high top basketball sneakers having a few decent pairs of tapered jeans in your closet is a must! they give such a nice clean look with sneakers but good luck ever fitting a modern tapered jean over your boots... unless maybe there these old dockers/military style boots that have no ankle padding... a straight cut is versatile in that way, that there not excessively beggy and loose fitting like boot cut jeans well still having a wider ankle opening then a slim tapered pair. Having a nice mix of both slim tapered and straight cut jeans gives you a lot of style options. Also it can be worth while to experiment with differnet lengths for different shoe styles... for instance I typically wear 34" inseam jeans with a low top sneaker like a Jordan retro 4 but will wear a 32" inseam with a high top sneaker like a retro 6... also some shoes lead themselves better to tapered jeans and vice versa... with a low top sneaker I dont mind a straight cut or a tapered jean but with a high top sneaker I only like to wear tapered jeans and will sometimes size down so they sit atop the sneakers and arent stacked/bunched up to much.
I think the type of Jean really depends on the shoes you’re wearing. Boots? Relaxed/regular or straight. Athletic shoes? Straight fit or slimmer. Also the length is key. Doesn’t matter the fit if they’re just too long or short.
Really agree with everything you said here! Especially with the slim fit jeans. Even if you're over 30 and have a bit of a beerbelly going on, throwing on a pair of slim fit jeans along with a black Jacket. For example, a bomber or puffer (preferably unzipped) can make you look much thinner and even younger, a fresh date outfit for sure!
I’ve been looking for slim and especially slim tapered jeans lately and they’re pretty tough to find. Most jeans are definitely either bootcut, straight or skinny. I have straight bootcut and straight jeans, they often look really good with leather boots but the slim ones are completely suited towards wearing with shoes.
I really don’t get the anti skinny Jean argument. Skinny jeans are probably the only fit that don’t make my legs look like “sticks in tents”. I do have a high metabolism so skinny is the way to go for me. Gotta check out the spray on’s
Skinny Jeans aren't good looking at all. Unless you're a girl, I'd highly recommend you just try to grow into slim fit. I used to wear skinny jeans in high school and girls would just laugh at me. Get a slim fit and get then tailored to your body type
Thot Police times change, a HIGH majority in high school wears skinny jeans. Either regular, sagging to show off belts, or just a bit sagged to seem regular. Nothing wrong with it, but honestly not good to wear during work. Not comfortable at all or useful. Just a look
Actually, a moderately fit guy who has leg definition can pull off skinny or spray on jeans. I'm not talking about a guy who is a bodybuilder, but more of a guy who is a runner, swimmer, a cardio fit type of guy can make skinny or spray on jeans look really good.
Skinny for me or slim taper because my thighs are THICC 😩 love this one, my dude! And at least on my phone, the audio quality sounds better than before 👌
I’m quite a big lad 6 ft 3 87 KG for my age (16) and what I have found that slim stretch and skinny stretch were the best jeans, I would often wear Skinny stretch jeans if I were going to a party as most boys my age wear super skinny or spray on jeans to parties (I don’t like these tight jeans as have huge thighs) so I still fit in with wearing a bit of a tighter jeans but my legs still look in tact rather than wearing jeans that make them look like sausages! But for a normal day or going to college I normally wear slim stretch jeans as they give the most comfort but also they still look stylish the brands I wear are New look Men TopMan and River Island
I wear 569 Levi’s loose straight. I have tried the other types but is just to tight for my tights and butt so uncomfortable. Even though I wear loose jeans they are still kinda tight from my waist to knees . They look more of a regular straight jeans on me since I have big legs as well. I’m 5’6 and weight about 80 kg.
I have a Levi's 517 which i didn't wear at all, i brought it to a tailor and had it trimmed from right below the knees down, gradually tapering to the leg openings. I now have the leg openings at 6.5 inches and now i got the carrot cut
Very informative video I mainly wear slim and straight fit Jeans. I do own 3 pairs of bootcut jeans that are over 10 years old, that I hardly wear now. The trouble with bootcut and loose fit jeans is that they hang too low because of the excess material that causes them to drag along the ground when you're walking.
@@BenArthur haha, I thought they'd be right up your street with you being the dapper gentleman and all. It's always been a bit polarising but for whatever reason it's going through a bit of a revival right now XD. It's the same with a lot of 90's trends becoming fashionable again ie. biker jackets, oversized T's and garish patterned shirts etc. Can't say it's something I subscribe to but it's interesting none-the-less.
I truly appreciate this video because it reassures my choices of jeans which is slim fit. Yet again a great and informative video. Kudos Ben. Brooklyn Brother.
I wear Diesel Sitckker. I work in a designer clothes store and slim jeans are the widest cut that everyone works in the store recommends for anybody. In fact we only stock 3 regular fit jeans, and about 20 slim jeans (including slim tapered), 20 skinny jeans and 4 super skinny. Even the older guy will wear slim fit jeans if they were to just try them! As the perception of them is uncomfortable, but I find the skinnier the jean the more comfortable they are
I would agree with you tom U-S however and not that im bragging because im not but god blessed me with pretty big meat and potatoes and its uncomfortable wearing most skinny jeans i kid u not and i dont like my junk buldging out like jesus from big labowski lol
@@Noah-wv4td I work in a store with many different denim brands and Diesel are the best quality in my opinion, and we also sell brands such as Tramarossa and Jacob Cohen which go up to about £1000. I find Acne jeans terrible tbh, and Levi's terrible too. Not tried APC but I'm so happy with Diesel Stickker that I'm not going to try anything different for a while
I get all my jeans custom tylored. I have an old worn out pair of straight tapered Perry Ellis jeans I use as a template. So I buy based on color, fabric and fit on top. I tend to buy a lot of Tommy Bahama, Perry Ellis and Tommy Hilfiger jeans. But still get them all tailored to my spec.
the thing about skinny jeans... Once they are black, and i mean completely black, then they're acceptable. Light skinny jeans are never acceptable on men imo.
exactly. Black Topman Spray-Ons are actually fire, but once they go lighter than dark blue, they look too tight. The lighter you go, the looser your pants should be
Great video. I’ve generally gone for slim taper but have been od’ing on madcap flares over the last couple of years. Slim top skinny middle and flared at the end. Really great fitting jeans and trousers
I think skinny jeans are really cool and would look good on most guys because they give more definition to ur leg and every guy should try out these jeans before making general assumptions
I have a slim fit jeans, but it kinda looks baggy though. I think I should buy a slim tamper jeans or skinny jeans for a clean look! Thanks for the guide!
Great video. Trying to determine the differences between the various cuts was a bit difficult as various manufacturers market their products under mixed descriptions. I used to buy the relaxed fit, but realized the bagginess in the seat area was not the least bit complimentary. I prefer the straight/regular cut and slim fit, as recommended in the video. Also, I don't care for the tightness of the tapered or skinny cuts. They are just plain uncomfortable.
I actually just bought a pair of chinos in slim fit. I tried the slim tapered and thought they looked awesome until I took a step back from the mirror. I work out so I have bigger shoulders, the outline of how wide my shoulders were to the narrowing by the calves wasn’t flattering to me. Definitely resonated with me when you said carroting. Slim was definitely a good compromise. Great video 👍
I have pretty special ancles and knees so very skinny jeans makes it look like I walk pretty weird, then I started using slim jeans and it looks much better! They are not to baggy but I like that they are not "sprayed on" to my knees. I think slim is the way to go but some men also look good in looser and tighter jeans, as long as you don't go with the baggy, bootcut or Spray on, but seriously though you can wear whatever you want! Great video!
I wear skinnies but have been going for a retro look lately and I'm looking for a nice trim and slim tapered look jean thats slim but not too skinny. those straight legs jeans actually fit you really well
Thanks for demonstrating how these pants fit. If I had to choose, I'd wear straight or slim for my skinny/muscular body. Straight fit jeans are probably easier to find at thrift stores for my budget
Ma boy! Another pro tipp if you are buying jeans online, what some people definitely do. If you are buying slims than buy W = L (For Example W30 L30) If you are buying skinnys than buy W plus the next L (For Example W30 L32) That USUALLY tends to work. Buying a W30 L32 would definitely, in 90% cases be too long and will need tailoring Whereas Buying W30 L30 Skinnys Usually will give you a really tight leg opening and tight leg in general. So yeah I noticed this and it really worked for me..
Personally I really like the skinny - super skinny range The super skinny jeans tend to have more stretchy fabric and tends to be thinner, so weirdly enough, when wearing them I tend to feel more comfortable compared to when wearing skinny jeans. Plus, the super skinny can really accentuate my thigh muscles in comparison to my calves, something I'm fairly proud of. I tend to wear super skinny jeans when I'm also wearing slim fit shirts/v neck body t-shirts
Just got some Levi 511 and I’m an athletic build. My girl loves them but I’m not sure about them. Never had a pair fit so close. I feel like it shows too much of what I offer below lol!
It depends on your body type... For me... The best are slim fit... They're not loose or too tight. In my body these jeans fits great, I know that for a skin body these pants would fit loose
I love how guys over 40 on these videos are not supposed to add any style to their looks. I think the days of (at least for me) the dad jeans with either grass stained new balance runners or socks and sandals are gone. Guys 40 plus are rocking skinny jeans and even spray on and some are in perfectly good shape to make it all work.
My favorite pair of ASOS skinny jeans just ripped and their skinnies now just aren't the same as that pair. Literally just put on Amazon Goodthreads - got a new pair of favorite jeans gents! Not sure internationally but if you're in the US, give em a try!
I have been wearing skinny jeans for years and still am from the age of 14 or 15 may be to now 2 weeks off 20. My thighs are not always great in them and I have chunky thighs my whole life and have managed to find skinny jeans that I completely get away with. But now my thighs are chunky more in the way of muscle now than fat as I can't pinch that much at all. So I am thinking of slim taper jeans and your video helped me confirm that thankyou. Also since they are not always named correctly I'll probably have a mixture of skinny (that are slightly looser) and slim taper. I have tried slim and they are just too baggy for me honestly I ordered some about 6 months ago and had to return them because of it
Great video. Good counter wait to all the US men’s style channel bankshing skinny jeans. Btw Ben, something between the Skinny and spray-on would look very good on you based on your video 👌 Also great point about the shoes, everybody should wear shoes they want to show off to complete the outfit.
It is very dependant on the brand. Some brands skinny is another brands slim. I am a fairly big guy at 6 feet tall and 90kg and pretty much live in black skinny jeans. I usually get at least one size bigger than I would wear in a slim which means a 34 regular in the skinny jeans. I also prefer the ones with a little more stretch as they as ridiculously comfortable and over a few days start to loosen off just a tad. I wouldn't wear skinny jeans in any colour other than black though.
Huge fan of tapered jeans. I just think the profile they give just look great on any man that isn't obese. I am 6ft and 150 and I wear skinny a lot but have started getting more tapered jeans (they make skinny tapered too not just slim taper)
I love slim tapered jeans, seems like they were in fashion about three years ago, I could find them everywhere and now it's harder, unfortunately. I don't really see the problem with super skinny jeans, no matter what body type, I don't feel comfortable in super skinny jeans personally, but a lot of men can pull it off because they look comfortable and it works with their style.
To me the standard straight jeans looked the best. The standard straight is something that never goes out of style. Slim is ok, but the slim taper and skinny are just fads and will be replaced eventually.
I learned the hard way that the fit that's good depends on: 1. What style you want. 2. Your physique. And generally speaking, physique is very important. For example, I am an Athlete and we have muscular legs. I learned the hard way that skinny and even slim are no good for me. They basically make me look like a fairy because muscularity results in tightness. There's also trends. There's two extremes, the skinny trend, and the loose skater trend. Styles give off a special vibe, and it's not just about appearing proper and stylish, because otherwise everyone would wear slim jeans, which give that effect to everyone. The best jeans fit your body well, and also give off the vibe you want to give off. Personally I think that right now, loose/baggy is basically the trend. It's a great style on anyone but the skinniest people. Loose grey or medium blue Jeans with White or Black t-shirt = 10/10.
I always wear skinny jeans as my legs fall between chicken and muscular but a bit close to muscular. The ones I personally recommend are Bershka (£19.99 per pair) and Next (£22 a pair) both for me are really comfortable and look amazing. Moreover, they both offer quite a lot of stretch as well for your comfort. I would never wear Super Skinny and Spray on jeans as they look gay (sorry for my homophobic language)
I didn’t understand how a “jeans” could be “comfortable” or not! It just a jeans to cover lower half of the body until I bought Levi”s 512!! Wore it EVERY SINGLE DAY for 4 years and washed once a 2 months I guess!! My waist got bigger by two points so had to leave that jeans!! Second time I didn’t have money that much so bought 2 Spyker jeans “skinny tapper” and wearing it since last two year! No complaints!! Strongly suggest Levi’s or Spyker!
One quibble: Those huge trousers at the top of the video are not "relaxed fit", which refers to jeans that offer a little extra room in the seat and thighs, then taper down to about the width of straight jeans at the cuffs. They look OK on bigger guys.
What about if you've got skinny legs, but really big feet? Won't skinny jeans make your feet look even bigger? Wouldn't boot cut be a good option then?
I like tapered jeans because i have fairly larger thighs and i hate the baggy bottoms because i like to let people see my shoes

I used to wear pretty Skinny Jeans but recently started with slim, I have pretty skinny legs but the slim jeans still looks much better!
Ultimate dad look!
Loose fit jeans and Nike Air Monarch!
I go boot cut especially since most of my foot wear consist of basketball sneakers plus they're better for my physique 6'2 251
Slim fit are best for me. Not too loose not too tight
Same
Great video I like how you kept a base model so that way we can see the difference. This video quickly helped me see the two fits I like best. Thanks
Slim taper jeans are my fav type of jeans. Best type of jeans that look good on me and are perfect for showing off a nice pair of sneakers.
Great review! I especially like that you reviewed for whom the various types of jeans are best for. 👍🏼
Thanks Shaun!
Which jeans you prefer?
Thank you for the video now I know what to tell my tailor what I want.
I have a slim fit jeans, but it kinda looks baggy though. I think I should buy a slim tamper jeans or skinny jeans for a clean look! Thanks for the guide!
Great video. Trying to determine the differences between the various cuts was a bit difficult as various manufacturers market their products under mixed descriptions. I used to buy the relaxed fit, but realized the bagginess in the seat area was not the least bit complimentary. I prefer the straight/regular cut and slim fit, as recommended in the video. Also, I don't care for the tightness of the tapered or skinny cuts. They are just plain uncomfortable.
That jacket is amazing
Thanks Pepa
I actually just bought a pair of chinos in slim fit. I tried the slim tapered and thought they looked awesome until I took a step back from the mirror. I work out so I have bigger shoulders, the outline of how wide my shoulders were to the narrowing by the calves wasn’t flattering to me. Definitely resonated with me when you said carroting. Slim was definitely a good compromise. Great video 👍
I have pretty special ancles and knees so very skinny jeans makes it look like I walk pretty weird, then I started using slim jeans and it looks much better! They are not to baggy but I like that they are not "sprayed on" to my knees. I think slim is the way to go but some men also look good in looser and tighter jeans, as long as you don't go with the baggy, bootcut or Spray on, but seriously though you can wear whatever you want! Great video!
I wear skinnies but have been going for a retro look lately and I'm looking for a nice trim and slim tapered look jean thats slim but not too skinny. those straight legs jeans actually fit you really well
For me, I’m 5’6, I’m an athlete so I train a lot but idk to me, the spray on are the best ones to me😭
I agree, Slim Tapered ones are hard to find. I only find ones mostly on AEO here in the PH.
Levi's 512 are slim tapered
relaxed and bootcut back in style btw
Thanks for demonstrating how these pants fit. If I had to choose, I'd wear straight or slim for my skinny/muscular body. Straight fit jeans are probably easier to find at thrift stores for my budget
Fashion advice from ChrisMD, what a time !
Im a really skinny guy I mostly wear slim fit but I do wear super skinny sometimes but at my work place I wear straight leg
Ma boy!
Another pro tipp if you are buying jeans online, what some people definitely do.
If you are buying slims than buy W = L (For Example W30 L30)
If you are buying skinnys than buy W plus the next L (For Example W30 L32)
That USUALLY tends to work.
Buying a W30 L32 would definitely, in 90% cases be too long and will need tailoring
Whereas Buying W30 L30 Skinnys Usually will give you a really tight leg opening and tight leg in general.
So yeah I noticed this and it really worked for me..
A P29 or don't buy skinny jeans period because that's what gay people wear
Thank you so much. I didn't know most of that and I've been wearing jeans for 50 years.
Personally I really like the skinny - super skinny range
The super skinny jeans tend to have more stretchy fabric and tends to be thinner, so weirdly enough, when wearing them I tend to feel more comfortable compared to when wearing skinny jeans. Plus, the super skinny can really accentuate my thigh muscles in comparison to my calves, something I'm fairly proud of.
I tend to wear super skinny jeans when I'm also wearing slim fit shirts/v neck body t-shirts
Just got some Levi 511 and I’m an athletic build. My girl loves them but I’m not sure about them. Never had a pair fit so close. I feel like it shows too much of what I offer below lol!
Bootcut jeans are must if you work on a farm or a rural area, but when it comes to style i stick to slim straight or skinny.
If you're a skinny guy and don't like skinny jeans i recommend Levi's 514's in your size or a size up. trust me they are p e r f e c t!
It depends on your body type... For me... The best are slim fit... They're not loose or too tight. In my body these jeans fits great, I know that for a skin body these pants would fit loose
Agreed same here
I love how guys over 40 on these videos are not supposed to add any style to their looks. I think the days of (at least for me) the dad jeans with either grass stained new balance runners or socks and sandals are gone. Guys 40 plus are rocking skinny jeans and even spray on and some are in perfectly good shape to make it all work.
If I see a 40 year old cat in skinny's ima think he a clown
My favorite pair of ASOS skinny jeans just ripped and their skinnies now just aren't the same as that pair. Literally just put on Amazon Goodthreads - got a new pair of favorite jeans gents! Not sure internationally but if you're in the US, give em a try!
muraygun skinnies look to tight did you get slim
I’m a rather big guy who wears Wellington style boots for work and boot-cut jeans are perfect for me.
slim taper is the best for current
Levi's 512 are amazing. They are slim tapered.
Stephen Rodriguez I wear a 40 w and 30 L in normal jeans should I go true to size or a size up in the 512s?
@Isaac Rivera I get mine at the Levi's outlet. I also see them sometimes at Kohl's
Yup! 512s and 501s are my go to. 34x34 are hard to find usually
I have been wearing skinny jeans for years and still am from the age of 14 or 15 may be to now 2 weeks off 20. My thighs are not always great in them and I have chunky thighs my whole life and have managed to find skinny jeans that I completely get away with. But now my thighs are chunky more in the way of muscle now than fat as I can't pinch that much at all. So I am thinking of slim taper jeans and your video helped me confirm that thankyou. Also since they are not always named correctly I'll probably have a mixture of skinny (that are slightly looser) and slim taper.
I have tried slim and they are just too baggy for me honestly I ordered some about 6 months ago and had to return them because of it
thank you that really helped. I was unsure wether to buy skinny jeans but now all my doubts are gone.
Look for Levi’s 512 and Lee Luke. Both are slim tapered
Great video. Good counter wait to all the US men’s style channel bankshing skinny jeans.
Btw Ben, something between the Skinny and spray-on would look very good on you based on your video 👌
Also great point about the shoes, everybody should wear shoes they want to show off to complete the outfit.
It is very dependant on the brand. Some brands skinny is another brands slim.
I am a fairly big guy at 6 feet tall and 90kg and pretty much live in black skinny jeans. I usually get at least one size bigger than I would wear in a slim which means a 34 regular in the skinny jeans. I also prefer the ones with a little more stretch as they as ridiculously comfortable and over a few days start to loosen off just a tad.
I wouldn't wear skinny jeans in any colour other than black though.
They should make guidelines for making of these jeans cause you are absolutely right!
Huge fan of tapered jeans. I just think the profile they give just look great on any man that isn't obese. I am 6ft and 150 and I wear skinny a lot but have started getting more tapered jeans (they make skinny tapered too not just slim taper)
I had the exact same thought process as a kid. If they were baggy, they'd hide my lacking physique. Still not a good look as you explained
Spray on jeans look good on thin guys who pull off the drop waist or extended torso shirts that a lot of streetwear brands are making in my opinion
I love slim tapered jeans, seems like they were in fashion about three years ago, I could find them everywhere and now it's harder, unfortunately. I don't really see the problem with super skinny jeans, no matter what body type, I don't feel comfortable in super skinny jeans personally, but a lot of men can pull it off because they look comfortable and it works with their style.
I've just got Levi's 511 and 541, pretty happy with them
Slim taper and spray ons are definitely for me since I have really skinny legs
But why do you want your legs to look like twigs? I've tried tighter fitting jeans on and I feel like it looks so bad.
Loose fit is the best fit. Women love it...trust me. /s
Women love any jeans if the dudes good looking
I went to the store and found the perfect jeans mate, didn't even know tapered existed. Thanks alot.
I like the way you covered skinny fit at the end. I personally don't like anything tighter than slim taper but I agree with you completely.
Excellent video 😊
James Cullen Thanks for the kind comment!
To me the standard straight jeans looked the best. The standard straight is something that never goes out of style. Slim is ok, but the slim taper and skinny are just fads and will be replaced eventually.
I learned the hard way that the fit that's good depends on:
1. What style you want.
2. Your physique.
And generally speaking, physique is very important. For example, I am an Athlete and we have muscular legs. I learned the hard way that skinny and even slim are no good for me. They basically make me look like a fairy because muscularity results in tightness. There's also trends. There's two extremes, the skinny trend, and the loose skater trend. Styles give off a special vibe, and it's not just about appearing proper and stylish, because otherwise everyone would wear slim jeans, which give that effect to everyone. The best jeans fit your body well, and also give off the vibe you want to give off. Personally I think that right now, loose/baggy is basically the trend. It's a great style on anyone but the skinniest people. Loose grey or medium blue Jeans with White or Black t-shirt = 10/10.
Diesel slim boot cut with stretch because I wear cowboy boots. Not all boot cut are as wide as you demonstrated. Diesel has many to choose from.
Absolutely, as I said in the video, it varies by brand
I always wear skinny jeans as my legs fall between chicken and muscular but a bit close to muscular. The ones I personally recommend are Bershka (£19.99 per pair) and Next (£22 a pair) both for me are really comfortable and look amazing. Moreover, they both offer quite a lot of stretch as well for your comfort. I would never wear Super Skinny and Spray on jeans as they look gay (sorry for my homophobic language)
Do not worry, you look gay in those skinny jeans, too.
Nah you good
you should have bought a darker wash of the spray on skinny jeans because all the other jeans where darker and makes the legs appear a diffrent shape
I didn’t understand how a “jeans” could be “comfortable” or not! It just a jeans to cover lower half of the body until I bought Levi”s 512!! Wore it EVERY SINGLE DAY for 4 years and washed once a 2 months I guess!! My waist got bigger by two points so had to leave that jeans!! Second time I didn’t have money that much so bought 2 Spyker jeans “skinny tapper” and wearing it since last two year! No complaints!! Strongly suggest Levi’s or Spyker!
Love from India🇮🇳,
Your content is really good🤩
Lovely video was waiting for this from long time thanks a lot bro u made my day
I prefer skinny fit jeans 😍😍
They need to make bodybuilder jeans....for large thighs and calves, but small waist
High waist relaxed/traditional
Fr!!!
One quibble: Those huge trousers at the top of the video are not "relaxed fit", which refers to jeans that offer a little extra room in the seat and thighs, then taper down to about the width of straight jeans at the cuffs. They look OK on bigger guys.
What about if you've got skinny legs, but really big feet? Won't skinny jeans make your feet look even bigger? Wouldn't boot cut be a good option then?
Nah slim tapered fit should be good
