Browsing through todays La Times i came across an add that i found to be quite interesting to me for some reason. It was an add for Macy’s advertising skinny jeans. Now being that i am into fashion and do own a pair of skinny jeans myself i find the title of the article to be quite misleading to many. I am open to all kinds of styles of clothing and must say that skinny jeans ARE not the most comfortable jeans that i have worn. Another issue for me is that not all people can fit comfortably into skinny jeans and by viewing this add it makes them seem like the “in style” for todays fashion era which i find to be not true at all. I will admit that skinny jeans are making a comeback into the fashion world however i do not feel that they are not the “in” product at least for me. The add is depicting a tall skinny male who is clearly leaner than most people that i see on a daily basis. I feel that this add is hurtful to those who dont look like that and makes them feel that need to make drastic changes in their lives in order to achieve the “skinny jeans” look. In my opinion i feel that everyone should wear whatever they feel comfortable wearing and should not care about what other people think. It truly amazes me in todays society how much people are willing to put themselves through in order to attain the look that everyone else thinks is “in” such as the skinny jean look. We live in a country that is constantly thrived upon as the “land of the free” so i feel that this issue even though important to others is something that is big enough to make an impact especially on our youth; so why not live up to that saying and lets all just be free and wear whatever we want without having the concern of what others think.
Thin is In?
