How I rue the day some idiot designer thought of bringing them back in style. I was kind of hoping the 80's were dead forever.
Now there are hosts of Americans running around in unflattering denim tubes. There is something horrible to be said about what the skinny jean does for every shape:

1. Pear shaped: emphasizes the biggest part of your body
2. Big all over: emphasizes your size
3. Big on top: emphasizes how small your bottom half is
4. Big in the middle: emphasizes how small your bottom half is
5. Skinny legs: emphasizes how small your legs are--not a good look
6. Thin in general: does not create curves
Another good description? Ninety percent of American women who wear skinny jeans will look like an ice cream cone in them. I guarantee it. Tapered pants are anything but flattering. ("Mom pants" is another term that comes to mind.)
The moral of the story? Buy jeans that fit you. Screw all the stores whose inventory specialist ordered hoards of skinny jeans. They just think people are stupid enough to buy clothing just because it's in style. Don't prove them right!!!
(And on that note I must say the person who does inventory for the El Con Mall JCPenneys in Tucson deserves to be shot and killed.)

um...hello fashion police...if the skinny jean fits and makes your body look like...well, your body....what's wrong with that?? talk about combatting [sic] poor body image. LOL.
That's fine and all, but let's face it: most people don't buy the right size.
Most people would agree the key to feeling good is looking good. If people grimace as they walk by you, then you probably aren't going to be feeling good about yourself.
It's best to stick with figure-flattering styles, so you can be confident you look good.
And hey, you can't take a post that was written two years ago and seriously compare it to something recently written.
Things (and people, of course) change.
But one thing remains: unflattering styles are still unflattering.
