Fashion Trend: Slim Jeans for Guys Are Back

If you love the current '80s style resurgence, then put away your bootcut and relaxed fit jeans because super slim jeans are what's in right now. The style, which has been a rock and roll wardrobe staple in past decades (think The Ramones) is now a hot trend for fashion forward guys.

So where did this trend originate? Some say it has trickled down to the streets from the top. Ever since Dior and Balenciaga put their men in the tightest stove pipes possible, hipsters around the world have been sewing their jeans to fit their legs. Some guys have even donned their girlfriends’ pants to get that rock star look, or outright shopped in the women's section to get their own.

Where can you find these skinny jeans? Designers like Jade Howe are making slim fit jeans, such as his "Skinny Puppy" style which has been a best seller for his line Hause of Howe for several seasons. And since the trend has gone mainstream, fashion forward labels like Nudie, Iron Army and Tsubi are all coming out with skinny jeans for the masses, and they are selling out as fast as men can slim down to get into them.
