You guys are crazy. Tall skinny girls look great in tapered jeans. Tall skinny guys are the only ones that look good in tapered jeans.

Agreed. Though I think tall, fat people look funny in tight jeans as well.

I think this girl is rockin' the **** out of these:


Or are you talking about women skinnier than that?

OTOH, the jeans below aren't flattering at all, but I think it's more due to the high rise, and overall crappy cut.



I don't think it is the tallness or the thiness that is the problem it is the combination. The photo you posted looks good but try to picture a woman like above but 5'10". She looks really weird in the real world.

Look at how long that girl's legs are, she probably is about that height, and she looks pretty damn fine to me.

yeah, i can't really agree with this thread

i love it when skinny people accentuate that fact. and seeing a tall dude in slim pants doesn't cause me nearly as much grief as seeing one in baggy pants. and i can assure you guys that as myself being tall and skinny, there's not much middle ground here. as for the ladies, i love the toothpick legs.
