Do skinny jeans/tight jeans make you feel shorter?
post #1

I am not sure what it is, maybe my body type, but I feel shorter when I wear tighter jeans. I always wear relaxed fit because of it but the last few years it has been a struggle to find my size in them because "skinny jeans" are still in right now.

I think this is because you have wider shoulders. Think of it this way, women who have bigger bottoms and wear skinny jeans look shorter and wider, where women who are smaller on the bottom look longer and leaner.

I agree with Catman. If you are not even on the top and the bottom, you will feel and look shorter. Women are a bit different for this but with men, the bigger you are up top, the shorter you look with tight pants.

I honestly feel like it makes me look fatter not shorter. haha I avoid them. I like relaxed fit jeans and slim cut but I do not go down the kinny jean trail.

 I am not buff but my shoulders are wider than my waist by atleast 8 inches so I guess this makes sense.

I was looking at pictures and I see what you mean. Skinny men look fine in these, skinny women look fine... But anyone with more shape to them look strange.

 It must really depend on each person's body. I just feel like I am a troll or something. Like my legs end at my knees haha
