The skinny jeans look is the best fashion trend in at least a decade, no question. Yes, like any other good thing, it can be taken to extremes (see hipsters trying a bit too hard a few posts above) but those guys are outliers found in Williamsburg and Silverlake.
I went to high school during the late-90s...does anyone remember that fashion-wasteland? Baggy pants, TRL/N'Sync inspired nightmares, mall-goth run amuck. I embrace this generation's trends--the kids are alright for the first time in a long time. These trends aren't anything new, anyway. It's all a branch off of what Jagger or Bowie were doing in the 60s and 70s, and I have a feeling we'll be looking back fondly at these styles in a few decades when they're recycled all over again.
