Skinny Jeans Theory

My theory about skinny jeans is that you can't wear them unless you're skinny. Clarification: wearing skinny jeans does not make you look skinny. My new, first pair of skinny jeans confirms this theory. I got them because they look cool in every other way - wash, destruction, zippers - but I sigh and wonder why they couldn't just make them bootcut. The "painted on" cut doesn't really balance out the top mass at the butt and thighs.
