I found these jeans wit nice stitches in Sweden, where many men are wearing tight dark jeans. I very much like this style, reminding the 80-ties tight fit jeans. I like it on women, but also on men. What do you think of this style?

the only thing better than wearing tight pants is wearing DANGEROUSLY tight pants.

This would look quite nice when you're wearing some type of overcoat. In plain unhidden view, doesn't look good IMHO.

theres a difference IMO between 'tight' and 'skinny'. Those are just flat out insane and look extremely uncomfortable --- especially for a man! If you had told me these were pics of a woman I would have believed it, just cause it's so tight.

Any bulge aside, they remind me of a woman.

I can't seem to identify exactly why this picture is so wrong. I've seen plenty of tight jeans on men and wear them myself on occasion.

Maybe the shirt looks to baggy. Maybe the top needs to be tight, and we need to see the whole outfit.

One of my problems with the picture is that the way the back pockets are put (and the size of the pockets). It makes the guy's ass look too big and round (no ****).

tight jeans have always been a symbol of subversion...i don't expect the sartorially conservative to identify with or accept them. Since the 60's when Mick and Keith were swinging around London in tight ass pants, the look seems to be associated with an element of oozing sexuality, danger, ambiguity and rebellion. Modern kids have appropriated this into their looks with an effect that can come off as feminine if they don't quite have that '**** you' swagger to the way they carry themselves. Likewise with high heel boots for men...to some people both of these come off as attempts at cross dressing, but i think if one has the balls to pull off both and the personality to match, it can be very stylish.

I don't see a problem with wearing a looser shirt with tight pants either. Often times slim top + baggy bottom seems to be an accepted fashion look, but i like it the other way around precisely for the subversion. It's a very Keith Richards circa 2000's look...

Aren't the last two poll options pretty much identical?
