Far from being a trend unique and new milenium, Men have been wearing Skinny Leg jeans since the 1950s. The Original Shock Rocker Elvis Pressley wore them whilst scandalising the world with his Gyrating Pelvis. That was the first moment that Skinny Leg Jeans and rock 'n' roll were linked.

Fast forward to the early 70s when Punk & Glam Rock bands such as The Clash, Ramones, David Bowie, Queen & Bay City Rollers set the trend for the younger generation.
Today, the look is favoured not only by those talented with Musical Instruments but also skaters, artists, emo's, the fashion pack and nearly every Man in between. However there seems to be divide amongst the modern man – some are more than willing to wear skinny jeans, while others cringe at the thought of metaphorical and literal emascualtion that goes hand in hand with the Skinny Leg Jean.

Classic Casual Yet Masculine Look
|
You do need a certain irreverant attitude to pull it off and I would caution Men of a rookie fashion calibre (or those who don't care enough to own more than one belt) against this trend. However if you do fit that category and still would like to give it a whirl, I've suggested to easy to put together, brainless looks below.
The key to pulling off the style is keeping the look profane & relaxed. Team dark washes with an open slim fit shirt and match the leather shade of the belt and shoes for a preppy take on the look. turn it slightly more formal by button up the shirt.
For a more casual, weekend look, team a slightly more distressed pair of skinnys with canvas shoes & a bright v neck. Layer it up with a Chambray Shirt, a Dark Military style jacket or a Leather Bomber Jacket to complete the look.
