Quite fancy a pair...
BUMMER........... 😀
What are you insinuating ton?
No, no, and thrice no.
Straight leg. Always.
HTH

You are suggesting "Never!"?
When you're an adult. Its that simple
Mr Darcy, some questions...
How old are you?
How fat are you?
How big is your hair?
How big are your feet?
I found myself pondering that the other day...
I'm 31 and have a couple of pairs of GAP slim fit (not as tight as their skinny cut, but still a somewhat tighter silhouette than a well fitting pair of 501s). I hope I'm pulling the look off now that I'm a racing snake once again, they look good with Clarks Desert Boots in my experience.
How old are you?
Older than I feel
How fat are you?
30" waist
How big is your hair?
Not big
How big are your feet?
Is this a chat-up?
i teenage girl
i deadlydarcy 😉

I skinnylicker
I busterphilly
I'd say about 14 is the upper age limit for skinny jeans...
I'd say about 14
This is rather younger than I had hoped 😐
If i find skinny jeans that fit over my calves the waist is 2" or 3" too big 🙁
-wannabe hipster
I'm free tonight... 😆
About 7 when you've grown out of the ones you had at 5
If you are asking the question then you're too old for them. Simples.
If i find skinny jeans that fit over my calves
I anticipate the same problem if I go shopping this afternoon...having rather chunky calves.
I'm free tonight
You usually charge then? But for me it's free. I yetilicker.
if you do, please please please post a photo.....
One of my mates gets away with it in his mid 30's. Mind you; he has the physique of a toothbrush. And Fisher Price hair.
Do you have Fisher price hair?
Eeewwww... have you got cankles??
I think this is more your style, DD:

Email me if you'd like something special phil.
24 is too old for skinny jeans.
i don't make the rules.
Everyone on here dresses in supermarket denim. A meeting of the STW forum would look like an episode Top Gear.
Wear what you like.
Skinny jeans are so 80's, get with the picture.

You are closer to the truth than you might think mike.

You're asking this lot for fashion advice?
YGM 😉 😆
i want legs spread this time!
hang on, sorry let me take this call...
"whats that? 2006 want their clothes back?... i'll let him know"
DD old bean, i've got some news...

Actually, I believe there are a number of graphic designer types on here. The phrase 'label whore' normally sums them up nicely 😉
You're asking this lot for fashion advice?
I know that hidden amongst the supermarket denim wearing majoriky, there are a few people who can advise.
Obviousl, ton is not one of them.
Binners - please elucidate - Fisher Price hair?
Is this your friend:

Well then Mista Pheel, what should adorn my thighs and (as TSY so lovingly puts it) my cankles so that I might feel "street" this evening?
As much as I'd like to say that you can never be too old for skinny jeans...I think mid twenties is probably the cut off point.
a quick google search is your friend 😀

Actually Mista Pheel, any chance you could text Mrs C and ask her what she thinks? 😉
Crossed posts 😳 your pic is not loading ❓
Thats actuall uncanny derek. Stick some skinny jeans on, and its him!
A good rule of the thumb:
If you have to ask "am I too old for..."
Then you probably are.
Everyone on here dresses in supermarket denim.
No you do.
What's wrong with 'supermarket' denim anyway? It's the same stuff just without the labels. If you believe any different, you are a brainwashed fool...
Biscuit, anyone?
About three years younger than you were when you first thought to ask the question.
30 inch waist? is that not against forum rules? I thought you were supposed to be a biffer to post here?
if you're skinny you should wear suchlike jeans. the naysayers probably have 30 inch front waist and 30 inch back waist
Not necessarily age dependant - some can carry them off...............

I should add that having big feet makes skinny jeans an unusual choice.....
😆 at Woody's pic. Remarkably brave of you there fella. 😉
iDave has the right idea 😀
I think that if they're judged a FAIL, they will work quite well as "inside-wellies" jeans for dog walking duties.
Skinny jeans + big cyclist legs = not a good look
It is the combination of cankles and age that I fear I may not overcome.
as long as you don't have thankles...
This dude is actually quite cool

/p>
though is probably still mid-twenties. FWIW I'm not-yet-30 and still rocking the skinnies. I do have skinny legs though
Darcy, I think your measurements stack up... post a picture up and I'll be able to advise you properly.
I would look a state in skinny jeans, just ain't built for them.
TSWan
That's anti-cool chic, that is.
DD, post a picture of yourself in your skinny jeans, and i will sqeeze myself into my son's and post that up.............we will see who looks the best.
… i will sqeeze myself into my son's…
I just did a little sickie in my throat.
Skinny jeans and cyclist thighs aren't a natural sartorial match. Do you remember the lumberjack shirt fashion a few years back (no, not the '90s one)? I tried a few of those shirts and just looked like a man who was off out to cut down trees (and press wild flowers)...
I think you should get some and define your own individuality rather than following the crowds. Are you a leader or a follower?
Neither a leader or a follower be.
There are those who lend and those who borrow.
Two sayings for you Simone.
Gracias.
fwiw, i'm currently sporting a very comfy and practical pair of brown cords.
hmm, corduroy...
As a frequent user of the London underground...I often see London fashionistas dressed like clowns - skinny jeans, wierd hair, pointy white fabric shoes, cardigan from the 70's...usually with some stunning woman hooked on their arm.
If I'm not in a suit I look like a 34 year old skateboarder in jeans, t-shirt and hoody.
If I dressed like I rummaged through the bargain bucket in a charity shop that stunning woman would be fighting my wife for my attention.
wear something manly...

Sounds like how I dress too.
Age is a factor but it is a size issue really. Skinny legs are only part of it. Having a man's arse one can no longer look cool in skinny denim.
When I was a scrawny skateboarder in my teens I could barely get jeans to stay up such was my lack of butt.
So if you still have a "boy's" arse in your 30s or 40s then go for it. But as a general rule most don't. I don't...
30 inch waist? is that not against forum rules? I thought you were supposed to be a biffer to post here?
28 or 29 inch waist here. Got my first pair of skinny jeans the other week, I really like them. Only £15 as well. Now I just need long hair a silly hat and some sort of piercing.
Skinny jeans on anyone look so wrong.
RealMan - living up to your moniker as always, eh?
Of course, wouldn't want to disappoint.
😉
Are you also planning to wear very big glasses and a low-neck T shirt ?
you're just one step away from the bumfluff-shitbeard and ironic combover look

You’re never too old, I’m 35 and I’ve got some jeans so skinny I can hardly bend my knees. Live the shoreditch dream.
skin tight jeans, big flippin boots and major metal work and tats and I'm mid 30's. Why live your life dictated by the perceptions of strangers? Wear what you want everyone who has a problem with it can Foxtrot Oscar 😀
I've got giggleitis. 😆
Brilliant thread, really enjoying it so please don't stop.
But what on earth is Fisher Price hair? ❓

Currently wearing a pair of Japanese selvedge denim jeans. And I'm not a label whore, although I usually wear Howies, or Oakley, neither of which has particularly obvious labeling. The ones I'm wearing don't have a visible label anywhere, which I really like. Next time the retailer has my size on sale, I'll get a couple more pairs, they fit really well. And they ain't skinny, closer to classic 501's. Skinny jeans look wrong on anyone older than 23.
Ooh! I got a pair of selvedge jeans from a High Street Retailer recently; cost me £29.99. 😀
There's tons of really good quality 'unbranded' stuff about, if you know where to look.
Or you can pay two, three or more times as much for the same thing with a label sewn onto it. Up to you. Don't ask the rest of us to approve though. Spending lots of money doesn't mean you're not an idiot.
Excuse my absence, I went shopping...
Ooh! Whaddya buy then? Goon, show us! 😀
(Falls over backwards with excitement)
jees my thighs barely fit into relaxed fit jeans let alone regular as for skinny
i think it was my 12 mile paperround on a bmx in my youth
stretch fit jeans are the truth for the proper "so tight you can tell what religion someone is" goth look 😀
I tried on a few pairs in G-Star - currently have two pairs on hold pending "sleeping on it"...
One is "slim" fit and the others were "skinny".
I have a pair of boots which I can wear them inside...either pair would go inside the boots quite well. I think I'll go with the skinny. 😀
And when do we get to see the photos?
