Black Skinny Jeans

As the baggy jeans craze begins to wane, the demand for more form fitting and flattering jeans styles is increasing. Nicknamed the "skinny jean", this style attempts to do exactly what its name implies - give a more slimming profile to standard fit jeans. Although it would seem that women are the primary drivers of this trend, mens skinny jeans styles are among the fastest growing segments in this market.

Gone are the days when men only care about utility and roominess in their jeans. Although looser styles are perfect for lounging around the house or doing yard work, when men go out they increasingly prefer a fit that makes them appear more fit and stylish. Although there will always be a place for the baggy jean in the wardrobe, skinny jeans are increasingly taking up more shelf and hanger space in the modern man's closet.

Although skinny jeans are available in a wide variety of colors, it's blue and black skinny jeans that are in the most demand. Blue is understandable due to traditional influences but, with the increasing use of jeans as semi-formal or even formal attire, black jeans have nearly eclipsed them in popularity. Just take a look at recent celebrity and fashionista photos where you'll be challenged to find any blue among the multitude of black skinny jeans styles.

No doubt the skinny jean craze will run its course as fashion trends change from season to season but, for now, the skinny jean style is going strong. Standards like standard fit, boot fit, and other classic styles will always be in demand but, for now, the perfect blend of comfort, stylishness, and versatility lies in black skinny jeans.
