The skinny jean have made it into the new decade — and recently one Daily News reporter tried out a few different pairs of the skinny jean's evil offspring, the jegging, for a very important fashion research piece. She starts out optimistic, declaring that women have been uncomfortable in their jeans for years, so maybe less-constricting leggings that look like jeans would allow the same style sans discomfort.

But he was born in them. He also gives a big "WTF?!" look to the camera later on when discussing the charlatans who wear their skinny jeans with sneakers. Well, with a little help from Darwinism, the skinny jean set won't make it through the century, doctors have repeatedly warned against how they cause tingling thigh syndrome (especially when worn with uncomfortable shoes). more ›
