I don't got the knees for them
That's exactly what I was thinking. Other than the knees you would pull them off () with aplomb.

Straight leg all the way.....find they are the best compromise between bootcut and skinny.
They also show off my shoes really well.

Yeah, I find I have problems with the fit of a lot of Primark clothing, but the skinny jeans seem to fit me fine. They do tend to cut quite small on their clothes though - suspect this is to cut down on costs, using less fabric.
No, it's actually the opposite, everything I've ever encountered in Primark has been big and baggy. To be honest I've only ever shopped there for stuff for fancy dress but I've bought jeans, a jumper, a coat and a shirt and they were all a bit baggy for my liking. The only stuff I've bought from there that's fitted me really well has been womens clothes when I've been doing drag!

I'm a small bloke though, I wear 36" tops and 30" waist jeans. I just find the Primark stuff baggy round the arms and it's not tapered and fitted properly around the body.

I'd never buy my normal clothes there anyway as they never have stuff in my style, all my clothes are 60s and mod style stuff.

The best I've ever had were some evenly faded black, straight leg jeans from George at Asda. They cost about £10 and fitted perfectly, but they don't do them any more.

I also love the 'dusty black' 501s that somebody bought me from Asos (I think). The only thing is they are actually a faded blue and not black at all. I actually sent them back for being the wrong colour, only to be told they're all like that. I got them as a Christmas present from somebody who managed to get them at a staff discount price. I certainly couldn't justify paying the near-£90 normal price.

More recently, my niece went to America and brought back some duty black 501s which were actually a faded black, but the quality was appalling. Whereas the Asos version have a pale inner side, these are black all the way through and look as if they have been faded above and below the knee using emery paper. They look so cheap that I never wear them, yet I'm certain they aren't fakes.

I recently bought some Boston Crew jeans from Asda which fit better and are of a far superior quality to the Levis - for £16! The only trouble is they are that naff shade of navy blue, which I thought I could wear, but which I now realise make me look as if I'm wearing some kind of uniform, or tradesmen's dungarees.

The biggest problem I have is that even the best fitting jeans I can find still seem to have far too much slack in the backside and thighs. I'm far too old to wear those comical ones which look like tights.

I wear straight or slim leg jeans - black or dark blue usually, though I do like faded light blue in summer.

I like the look of skinny jeans but find them uncomfortable (and hard to get on ) so I wear denim jeggings instead - I hate that word too.

Black and baggy. For work and leisure time. Other options aren't an option

My mum always says this.

"I can't wear this with my knot/knock (I never know which one she says) knees.

I don't see the issue. "Typical man" syndrome no doubt.

Skinny jeans usually - never 'extreme' or 'super skinny' though, which are pretty much leggings for men and take it a step too far in my opinion.

So do I.

I'm 5ft 1. Boot cut is a no no, so the skinnier the better.

I wear all sorts. In winter mainly skinny, or boot. Summer straight, or cropped.

Skinny legged jeggings. I find the waistband on most jeans really uncomfortable.

I'm a bloke.

I prefer straight leg or bootcut. My favourite jeans are currently the Armani J21 'regular fit.'

Bootcut is a horrible style. They're just the 'lite' version of flares.

Skinny jeans for me.

They just feel more comfortable.

Skinny but I can only wear Levis curve as I have a low hip/waist ratio and they're the best ones cut to fit my shape

Anything available in UK size 4 as I find it difficult to get hold of my size however I prefer not to wear skinny jeans if I can help it as they make me look even smaller the same as anything slimming especially in darker colours.

I'm a woman and I wear skinnies, straight, boot-cut, and flares.

My favourite are my flares with my wedges as I always feel pretty funky with them on. As I am hourglass-shaped, I feel flares look better on me than skinnies as they balance my figure out too. But I tend not to wear them too much as I know they are not popular at the moment.

I hope skinnies go more out of fashion really. I wear them, but I don't think they flatter me as much as some other style of jeans.

Tapered or slim fit from G-Star.

Would never wear skinny fit jeans and I really dont know how any guy can dress in those, look in the mirror and not be mortified. Skinny fit are for girls.

The only jeans I have (one black, one dark blue) are from New Look. I love their jeans - they fit really well for me and I like that they aren't too tight. I don't wear jeans anymore because I feel too big for them, but realistically I think New Look jeans are a great fit. I always buy a size up in jeans because I like them to be loose and stretchy, but yes, New Look jeans all the way.

Skinny. I'm late 40s but I'm slim so I think I can still wear them and not look ridiculous. I don't try to dress young.
