I am a mom but my hubby and I have agreed, hell no to those skinny jeans! It is not flattering on 99% of people and looks like they **** their pants majority of the time.0
-
I'm not a dad but I let my son wear what he wants. I not big on appearances. I've always taught my children to be comfortable with themselves no matter what. If he is comfortable in skinny jeans then so be it. He's never thrown on a pair but if he one day decides to I'll have nothing against it.0
-
My rule is you can wear what you want when you start paying for it. My son likes roomy clothes (like me), so I don't think skinny jeans are going to be an issue.0

I'm not a dad, I don't even have children, and I never will have children, but if I DID, I don't think I would ever really not allow them to wear something, as long as it's age-appropriate. Experimenting with clothes and fashion is important to me. People can express themselves through their clothes and you shouldn't stunt that. I mean, when I was a teenager, I wore all sorts of stupid clothes. My mom let me. I look back and cringe because it was baaaad. But at the time, that was what I wanted to wear and if my parents hadn't let me? I would've been pissed. And I probably wouldn't have grown to be the wonderfully dressed fashionista that I am today
But seriously, I don't see anything wrong with skinny jeans. I don't see anything wrong with dudes dressing up as ladies either, so my opinion might not be even slightly valid to certain people.0 -
MY twin sons wear skinny jeans, but they dont have them hanging round their *kitten*! I kinda like them, to me they are certainly better dressed than the boys who wear baggy jeans whos underwear is showing.0
-
As long as it covers his *kitten* and doesn't have an expletive scrawled across it, he can wear what he wants. I don't get censoring or limiting their fashion choices beyond this.
Eventually, he'll either become secure enough in his own personality to not give two bleeps what people think, or he'll realize that he actually doesn't like walking around with saggy-diaper-chicken legs and find his own style, not succumb to peer pressure.
Either way, if you make their choices for them (when they're old enough), then how will they learn to think for themselves?

My son is 17. I don't make a big habit of telling him what to wear. But he wouldn't be caught dead in skinny jeans.0

Fashion goes in a cycle generally:
Loose fitted - > Tight fitted - > loose fitted -> Tight fitted
Currently it is tight fitted clothing. However, when I was a teen I wore those ridiculously baggy pants, and I got crap from "older people" who thought I looked "ridiculous" (which I would agree with now to an extent).
However obsessing over fashion, and if your children should buy into it, is pointless. Teens are going to be suckers for fashion trends, deal with it.0 -
You do? A yeller and insulter for a father? Maybe the dad should focus on picking up the *kitten* in his home and make it look decent. Plus, look at the SIZE of that dad! Maybe he needs to whip his *kitten* into shape with some healthy food and a workout instead of yelling at his kid like that.
The son should make his dad stand with his arms raised so he can see how out of shape he is and do something about it.0 -
Im a dad.... and HELLL NAHHH0
-
My son wears skinny jeans but only because he is sixteen, six feet tall and has a 27 inch waist. He needs a boys waist size but a man's length. They look like regular jeans on him because he is so skinny. Would I allow them if they looked on him like most guys that wear them. Heck no!!!!0
-
im not a DAD lol but if i was i would not let him IMO boys should not wear it0
-
can be tight without being skinny jeans
seems to be the in thing now and then
certainly was when i was 180 -
Not a dad, but nope. A family member got our oldest (he was 8) some and he looked ridiculous in them. BUT, I am okay with wranglers, different fit and not baggy so he wears those.0
-
My son is 7 and wears skinny jeans now because they are the only ones that fit his frame (he is skinny as a rake). They look like normal jeans on him.
If he can't pull them up over his underwear, he will not be wearing them in my house, and hubby is 100% on board with that.0 -
I'm not a dad but I let my son wear what he wants. I not big on appearances. I've always taught my children to be comfortable with themselves no matter what. If he is comfortable in skinny jeans then so be it. He's never thrown on a pair but if he one day decides to I'll have nothing against it.
I am not a parent but I 100% agree with this... people should wear what they are comfortable in. But I also live in Europe where all you see is skinny jeans and I certainly thought it was strange on guys before moving here.0 -
yhose are not skinny jeans
skinny jeans are fine
but they are supposed to be fitted around legs, not short and failing to reach waist0 -
I have a daughter but I wouldn't her wear something inappropriate size wise. everything she wears is edited in the store and I don't buy her anything that could be questionable0
-
I never restricted my children in their clothes unless the item revealed too much...they have all grown up, and make awesome choices....I have awesome kids !!!!0
-
I'm not a dad, but I wore skinny jeans for a good three years. I was always told that out of the majority of the guys in my school that wore skinny jeans, I was the one that could wear them the best. And for the record, I wear a slim boot cut now . But when you wear them how the kid in that video was wearing them, that's just ridiculous. Gym shorts under skinny jeans? notsureifsrs. If you wear them like normal pants, a lot of guys (like myself) can pull them off. No pun intended.0
-
That video is crazy. I believe people should wear what they like and feel comfortable in. I have lived in some very "hipster" areas; Seattle Wa and Long Beach Ca, most of the hipster guys there wear skinny jeans but they don't wear them like that.... I am not quite sure what this guy was thinking.
I do think that sometimes they can get a little too tight and it ends up looking like they stuffed their jeans... :laugh:
BUT for the most part i think they look good and I would't forbid my children to wear anything, as long as they still were dressing appropriate for their age.0 -
to your title... Skinny jeans are fine...
however it doesnt relate to the video... they are not skinny jeans! they are jeans which dont fit...worn in a really ugly way... noone wants to see your pants! (meaning pants in the British way... )0 -

BTW, my son's underwear are covered up. I think that's really the biggest issue this dad had with his son.0 -
My rule is you can wear what you want when you start paying for it.
Good rule to have!0 -
It has nothing to do with the fact they are skinny jeans. I mean, wranglers are basically the same thing. It's all in how people wear the jeans. Any pants you sag, with shorts underneath, underwear showing is obnoxious (just like this dad).0
-
I am sorry. Tigerblood is not a dad. That much is clear.
If parents could control their children perfectly and easily, would 90 percent of adolescent girls be allowed to dress the way they do?
There are so many battles to fight. I think there are many more important ones. Much as I dislike the look of skinny jeans, I am gonna let that rather unimportant one go, and focus on reinforcing the important behaviors, like being polite and studying.
Really sorry the look offends you so much, OP. But, spend your time worrying about more important matters.0 -
Im not into the jeans that hang around your *kitten* but being a RICHARD to your kid is probably not the best way to go about it. If you agree or applaud the dad, youre probably a RICHARD too. What a great way to handle your family issues...youtube. Very effective.0

LOL exactly!
I'm European, we don't wear much other than Tight leg and Skinny jeans...We just make sure they fit properly!!0 -
I've already decided that when my son gets to that point in his life (he's almost 2 now) He can wear anything he wants within reason, and when I start to think it is getting out of hand, I am going to dress/talk JUST like him. LOL0

How do you know that father isn't a member here..and trying to be healthy? His son looks stupid with those jeans....I don't think putting that video out for the world to see was a good idea....but otherwise good for him.
