One of the current fashion trends is skinny jeans. Yeah, that’s what we need right now–tighter clothing. As the country gets fatter, the fashion industry makes the clothing smaller and harder to get in to. This doesn’t make a lot of sense. Even still, you may be considering a purchase, or you may wear skinny jeans incessantly. If so, please consider the health risks that may accompany tight pants.
Yes, health risks. The Consumer Reports Medical Adviser discusses the dangers of too-tight pants. Not only can they potentially cause nerve damage, there are risks of yeast infections and blood clots, not to mention potential fertility issues for men.
This is one fad we’re anxious to see go away. Besides being unhealthy, there are very few people who can actually pull off tight pants. Yes, you have the right to wear whatever you want, regardless of your size. But, if your skinny jeans overfloweth, then perhaps you should buy a pair of pants that actually fit. Just because you can squeeze them on doesn’t mean you should.

I think the only person who ever successfully pulled off skinny pants was Freddie Mercury. And please God, let him be the last person to wear them!
Totally agree. Skinny jeans are flattering on only a very few among us (I don’t count myself as one of the few).
