Skinny Fit: What Does it Mean? Skinny jeans are meant to make a bolder fashion statement than slim fit ones. Their cut is body-hugging and narrows from hip to ankle. Skinny jeans are fitted throughout. Men’s skinny fit jeans are best when they are stretchable. Typically, in such jeans, if you put on one leg, you would have to do a lot of tugging and adjusting before moving to the next. But with the right amount of stretch, each leg of the jean will slide on easily and hug you in all the right places. Except for the stretchable ones, you will have to sacrifice comfort and may have difficulty in making movements. Rock stars and artists have popularized them because of their versatility, so much so that when you see a well made pair of skinny jeans, you think of rock star attitude and confidence.
