But colored skinny jeans? I don't think I've ever seen anything more hellaciously terrible. Sorry to any of my readers (all five of you) who own these devil-pants. You should destroy them. It looks like Freddy Mercury--back in the Queen days before he died of AIDS--just vomited on your legs.
Let us consider this picture for a minute (taken from this site...thanks Kiki, I know it's one of your faves). Three ladies, all of whom are beautiful (if you ignore Fergie's meth-induced wrinkles). Fergie and Ashlee Simpson look like they both have some mean saddle bags weighing down their thighs, which I'm sure they don't. But look what the pants do! They add weight! They force you to look ridiculously top-heavy! They probably give your crack some maaajor exposure when you sit down! And I bet you a million dollars that they give you a cameltoe. How could they not? Devil-pants are unflattering in every way...it's inherent. The only reason that Rachel Bilson looks okay is because she tucked her pants into her boots, thereby making them look more like leggings than like skinny jeans. She has hidden the taperedness of the jeans and therefore her legs look fairly normal again.
Please people. Let's all boycott the skinny jeans...especially the colored ones. Your legs can look sooooooo much better than this.

As the blogger who wrote the piece to which you link, I encourage you to try a pair before you judge so harshly! Honestly, my red skinnies have risen to the top 3 in my favorite wardrobe components. With the right legs (and height), they can be incredibly flattering.
I've got to agree with johanna here... I like 'em. I know it's crazy, but I think any way that a woman can put a pop of color into her wardrobe, she should! Maybe Johanna and I are just deprived being in DC...
That being said, I know that my uber-pearshaped frame could never, ever rock them. However, I think they're great for fall with a killer pair of boots or peep toes, as long as you've got the legs for them. I mean, who decided that blue was a neutral??
