Skinny jeans are back like cooked crack. The skinny has transcended beyond the *ahem* homosexual. Perfectly heterosexual 'hood' men can safely wear the form fitting pants without anyone raising an eyebrow. However, the one thing that makes a true fashionsista hurl is men who want to wear skinnies and forget that the entire silhouette has to be fitting too.

Wearing a skinny jean with a crew neck oversized white tee is never becoming. (aka the white tee you buy from your local corner store)
Instead of an oversized white tee, try a comfortably fitted v-neck. If you wear a medium undershirt, buy a medium v-neck. You can also use an A-shirt as the undershirt. To curb your phobia of “tighty whiteys”, wear a boxer brief as your form fitted underwear. If you need more 'bulge room' (for a lack of better words), try Hanes boxer briefs.
The average man of today knows his size and has very little use, if any, for the fitting room. But to cross over from the typical loose fit boot cut to a skinny jean requires thought. To keep your look consistent, make sure that your footwear is appropriate. If a butter Timberland is your boot of choice, try a more detailed Polo hiking boot. This type of boot provides the same warmth, but gives a classier look.
Please remember that nothing is worse than boxers showing through the top of your skinny jeans. Beyond the fact of indecent exposure, it could be scary to women and small children. (YIKES!)
YIKES!!!!!
And as for big men, don’t fret-- all know that skinny jeans can possibly be disastrous for you. For this reason, I’d love to introduce the “slim fit”. The waist will still be your size, but the entire leg will come in just a tad around the knee and continue through to the ankle. The slimmer fit is great for all builds. A few brands to check out are Rocawear and Levis; both of which can be found at City Blue and Dr. Denim.
Still skeptical? You can avoid the skinny as long as you’d like. The bottom line is: the skinny is back and here to stay.

I love a man in skinny jeans. Not too skinny, not too baggy. No boxers showing- that is simply tacky.
