For the uninitiated, skinny jeans are pants that are tight all the way to the bottom. Sort of like leggings in denim form, in the sense that they are worn by hipsters and wildly uncomfortable. Unfortunately, those dastardly celebrities with their liposuction and voluntary colonoscopies have radically altered our conception of the ugly skinny jean. On Sienna Miller or Lindsay Lohan, the skinny jean is eminently flattering and does not remind one of a particularly scarring episode...
