try a pair, take a picture.. generally avoid female sized jeans i go for tapered jeans (roomy at the top, but comes in near the knees and gives a skinny silhouette) so i still have room for my.... err wallet and other baggage...

he's 18 so he's young, he's not going to be rocking suits everywhere he goes, i think tapered jeans are a lot better looking than baggy jeans...

If you want tapered, get Levi 520. They are, by far, my favorite tapered skinny jeans.

my rule of thumb with skinny jeans is 'if you turn into a muffin, take them off and keep them off'.

Sure, since what you mean by "skinny" is probably just "jeans that fit". But if you mean "skinny" as in painted on/spandex tight look, then no, and nobody who isn't famous should wear those either. Remember, don't be a ***: "tight" is for your shirt, not your pants.
