The skinny jean: Its purpose in life – other than to show off lovely long Lindas and tuck inside a dirty black boot apropos this winter’s look – is to show off knobbage.

Hello. We love a skinny jean, don’t you? And no, not on everyone. A recent survey called walking down Shaftesbury Avenue, through Soho and ulitimately ending on the cankle-pit of London known as Oxford Street, revealed that a good 72% of those who wear a skinny jean really oughtn’t. Sohelpthemgod.

And re:-ing our skinny jean in black boots comment – we’d just like to point out we were doing the Ray Petri thing a good three years ago when it was merely retro and not bandwagon (indeed some people in and/or around this orifice were doing the Ray Petri thing when Ray Petri was doing the Ray Petri thing). Sohelpusgod.

As for the skinny jean with VPL – that is what is known in the business of showing off as ‘a good thing’. Is this also a good thing? Hmmmmn?

In a word, whyyesitis.

Fantasticsmag also agrees. Which spookily is from whence these pics were pilfered. Hooray.
