Being a Grown Man in Skinny Jeans #WEOFFTHAT

"Fellows, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pocket, you better use them to call the tailor."--Trusted word spoken by the most interesting man in the world.
Lets put this issue to rest. Fellas, don't be caught dead in skinny jeans. This is what is called a fad. This trend will fade, and you will see a picture of yourself 5 years from now and wonder why someone allowed you out the house like that. 
This is the type of thing where if you weren't the first to do it, then you missed the boat. People judge guys who wear skinny jeans (I know I do). There is no way you can convince me you are a leader because you are clearly trying to be like someone you saw on television. Judge Swagwire recommends that you lead the pack...
Swagwire Alternative: Go to Nordstrom and get a pair of nice jeans (preferably Lucky). Before leaving the store, try those jeans on and ask the tailor to give you a good fit. This is the difference between jeans that fit well and skinny jeans. Although this may be costly, this will be an investment and you will save money in the long run by purchasing some good quality jeans (instead of buying 5 pair of cheap ones over the year). The second step is maintaining them. Send them to the cleaners often. Get them washed and pressed (without a crease). The older these jeans get, the better they will look...
If I see another "man" in a pair of skinny jeans, I am going to call every retail buyer in the U.S. and tell them to stop shipping skinny jeans to stores that men are making this purchase. We (as in the ladies) do not want to see your legs that tight in a pair of pants...the end!
Thanks for keeping the fellas informed. I have subscribed to this blog!
This is so true!
Hopefully the violators are reading this! If you are not Kanye or Drake its a no go!
