Skinny jeans have a snug fit through the legs and end in a small leg opening.
In some styles, zippers are needed at the bottom of the leg to facilitate pulling them over the feet. Stretch denim, with anywhere from 2% to 4% spandex, may be used to allow jeans to have a super-slim fit.

Skinny jeans are sexy jeans and many people want to wear them.
