The Start
Skinny jeans create a clean silhouette, and I understand why they became so popular. But after wearing them for years, I realised I was sacrificing practicality for appearance. Getting dressed became a workout of its own. Putting them on meant pointing your toes, pulling, adjusting, and hoping everything eventually settled into place. Taking them off at the end of the day wasn't much easier. They would slide down just fine until they reached your ankles, where the real battle began. Every man who has owned a pair probably remembers standing on one leg, tugging with both hands, wondering why getting changed had become such a physical exercise. When your trousers require that much effort twice a day, it's worth asking whether the style is serving you, or you're serving the style.
