There was a time when only bona fide rock stars could get away with wearing the skinny jeans – think Mick Jagger and Iggy Pop…

Yet the skinny jeans have now well and truly arrived, and it looks like they’re here to stay (at least a little while longer). We’ve noticed more and more minihipster’s donning the slim-fit jeans, like Archie (below left) in his straight-legged jeans from the Gap and little Lenox in his Levis (below right).

It took me a while to get used to them… but they’ve certainly grown on me (or shrunk, as the case may be).

Here’s some current models that we particularly like:

mini Boden Slim Fit Jean

Vans Slim PP Denims

Pro snowboarder-come-skater- now-surfer Shaun White for Target

Ben Sherman Kids in rough, dark denim

So, what more can we say, other than…

Get the skinny!
