Skinny Jeans For Men and Women

The skinny jeans are touted as something "new' - yet what people forget is that they have been around for hundreds of years - literally. If you think what skinny jeans or jeggings are - they are a more streamlined, modern form of classic leggings. When you think about it, you will quickly realize that they are simply an updated form of leggings that were worn in Europe hundreds of years ago.

If you ever saw "Romeo and Juliet" - chances are you remember guys wearing leggings - it was a standard part of wardrobe in the Middle Ages. Yes, men wore them as much as women did - both for fashion and for warmth. Today women are much more likely to wear jeggings than men. If you want to know why - just look up Conan O'Brien wearing jeggings. It's not a pretty picture.

Conan notwithstanding, jeggings or skinny jeans are here to stay. They are great to show off your figure, easy to match with any top, and they are easy to wash. They have been showing up in Hollywood as well - even bona fide stars like Nicole Kidman wear them. So if you like the idea of wearing skinny jeans, you are in good company. They are a great addition to any wardrobe.
