MOTOCROSS: Skintight and biker-esque

    And...be careful with the cut. Many of the styles shown don't look great on most women. Skinny jeans are for very thin young women. I think they're very unflattering on girls that are heavy.

    Blue jeans are for cowboys, cowgirls, truck drivers, people who don't care what they look like. The whole planet is blue jeans crazy and they certainly are not "ladylike". I think men with jeans topped with a nice shirt & jacket with maybe a tie look absolutely ridiculous. Women who wear silk tops, beautiful blouses over jeans having been breaking the fashion rules for a decade now. (with the help of QVC) I taught modeling at a Fashion School in the 60's and it is difficult to watch how women like to keep on degrading themselves. WEAR A SKIRT NOW & THEN, LADIES, AND WATCH HEADS TURN FOR YOU.!! Save your comfortable jeans for cleaning out the garage or some other dirty job. OH! AND JEANS WITH HIGH HEELS WERE FIRST WORN BY STREET WALKERS IN LAS VEGAS.

    Thank you for giving a jean-addict like myself something to read! LOL. I like the idea of using hem tape and the clingy, seductive jeans! They are fabulous. And I definitely agree with one comment I saw on here - MAKE SURE THE JEANS FIT YOU! All styles are not for everyone!

    The pastels and high wasted look like the hated mom jeans to me. The skinny and hippy jeans are cute.

    I hope skinny jean doesnt stick around as long as the flare leg did. I HATE the skinny jean. It doesnt look good on anyone not even supermodels and especially not on men. How feminine are we going to make our guys, yuck.

    i still feel that a dark wash that sits on the hips or slightly above with a wide flare (not too wide) elongates the body and makes the bum look rockin'. The skinny jean I just can't take anymore because of one of the comments. I'm tired of seeing young girls force their ample bottoms into these. It is not attractive.
