Skinny pants: new fashion trend for babies too?

Give me a break-"real" fashion trends for BABIES????? We're that affluent now that we can purchase goofy trends for our babies and our pets also, for that matter? With that mindset it shouldn't take too long for the longterm problems of global warming or Al Queda to pop up in our backyards. Conspicuous consumption, 1984, here we come.

Why stop there? Why not start getting liposuction for our 4 month old babies so that they will look good in these skinny pants! I mean, looking good, sexy, and trendy shouldn't just be for adults, teens, and such! I just wish that doctors could perform plastic surgery and lipo on an unborn baby and slip on a pair of these skinny pants on my unborn fetus, becuase looking good and trendy is THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN THE WORLD no matter how young you are! Being an infant is no excuse to not be ready for the runway! .....(please note my dripping sarcasm).

I like the look of flair and wide-legged jeans on my little girls. The whole idea of tapered pants brings back Saved By The Bell Big Hair and Neon Colors nightmares. Skinny Jeans!! The Name Alone Is a Cause for Tears, At Least For Me. They stand for everything I don't want in my clothes. I can't hide my ankles, my belly from 2 C-sections, my hereditary thighs...Might as well bring back leggings. Wait a Minute, they did!!! 80s Fashion, please go away!

the clothing industry isn't responsible for solving global warming or al queda, lady. get off your soap box.

skinny pants aren't as ridiculous as they sound. if you look at the photo, there's nothing "trewndy" or "sexy" about them. they're just pants!

High fashion for babies? No wonder the rest of the world hates Americans.

THEY'RE NOT TAPERED THEY'RE STRAIGHT LEG. As other people pointed out, there IS a difference.

There is a bigger issue here than whether we can all fit into "skinny pants" infant, child or adult. When skinny pants were in the first time we were hearing about the health issues of girls wearing tight fitting pants. The rise of of yeast infections sky-rocketed. I am all for the better fitting clothing after years of be subjected to looking at girls and guys underwear hanging out over the top of their pants but it sure would be nice if we could find a nice point in the middle. I too have had trouble with pants falling off my sons' rears over the years. If the industry would just give us choices, consistantly, rather than dictating what this years fashion is than we could all start to concentrate on what looks best on each of us and not what is the "in look."

I think that the designers forgot about everyone except the skinny and young teens! I'm 47 and tiny but not skinny...not fat and have a very difficult time finding pants that fit right. The lenght between the crotch and the waist make them ride up places they have no business being. Either the low waist, hips hang over the low cuts or over the high waist! How bout those of us that would like to look trendy but not rediculous. I have to buy in the juniors sections for the size, but have too buy big shirts so you can't see the flub hanging over. Enough!...remember the rest of us please!!!!!

What is it with fashion? Dressing little kids like adults, its .....just too much. My 8 year old niece's clothes could rival Brittany Spears(pre-baby). No, I'd like to see children dressed as children, they have plenty of time to become adults. I love the colors, and patterns of clothes, many more choices then what I had as a kid (I'm 45), but puleeze. Stop dressing kids like little hookers, pimps and runway models. And skinny pants for tots? I see lots of eating disorders in the making cuz parents get upset cuz the kid won't fit into his/her jeans? My family is pear shaped, and some of the trends of the 80's that are coming back, ewww-don't like it, esp. skinny jeans. I'll be only 2-6 percent of the population can wear them and actually look good in them. The other 95 percent will probably starve themselves trying to get into them. What's wrong with being comfortable in clothes, and comfortable with yourself? Why feel the need to conform to fashion standards which, are impossible to do. Just my opinion. (yes, I feel better now. lol)

Pants don't cause eating disorders you silly people!

I'm upset because it's hard enough for girl's to wear the styles now that stop just above the butt crack and are made to fit the ever popular girl's without hips. As for the person that believes people should lose weight to be healthy, has she ever heard of genetics and not everyone was "blessed" as this country would put it, with no hips and skinny legs. I am a parent that has a teenage daughter trying her hardest to lose weight but she is genetically big boned and even the Dr. told her that she would never be a peanut. So as far as the "Skinny" jean coming back, it only puts more pressure on our teenagers to be ultra skinny like the runway models and actresses of today and I don't think it makes sense to do that to them. I for one workout to stay healthy, not to fit into "Skinny" jeans. What size are they going to go up to to try to please girls, size 50? We already have 0-something like 24...it's all ridiculous. For once why don't they make clothes to fit all body types? We might all finally feel good about ourselves and look good.

I have four children and let me just say that babies couldn't care less what they wear as long as it's comfortable! Seriously. All these "Baby Gap" stores and expensive boutiques for baby clothes are not for the baby, it is so these new moms can show off to the other moms. If someone feels the desire to show off, they should not use their baby to do it.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN STRAIGHT-LEGGED AND TAPERED IS MINIMAL, AND SO THEY EQUALLY CAUSE ME NIGHTMARES!

Skinny wow where to start lol.. My daughter is 18 now and has had nothing but trouble from everyone about being "skinny". You have a eating disorder the doctors tell her even though she eats all the time. Has been teased all her life for it. Now we are sayinin its ok to be skinny jeez. They will be great for some but cant we just call them straight legged pants. And as for babies wearing them remember they are learning alot their frist couple years, to move, crawl, walk. You put a pair on see how easy it is, then think twice about putting them on your baby.

Have you BEEN to Gap? They do have some very comfortable cute clothes for children. I've dressed my kids in GAP for years!

Well, it all follows pretty much in line with sexualizing all little girls and telling the big girls they are dead at 30 and not to even 'bother'.
Already the prime stars of today are around 14 or so when they hit the big time, like britney and christina...and britney is already considered an old bag so the line of 'age' is tenuously going down all the time. When I was a child watching the old movies, women were around in their 40's and 50's still playing leading...now if you ain't meryl streep, look out. Dry. Each year the bar gets driven lower and lower and every year more things become more and more acceptable like the huge gulf between the ages of men and girls marrying. (I ain't saying that cannot 'go' both ways, but we ain't talking about the trickle on the women's side, we are talking about the deluge on the man's.) There is also the fact the statistic on child molestation and the more accepting public view of it is changing sway. We don't care any more of our little girls are dressed like little trampypies. And the beauty pagent make up and dressing of little girls into polished whores has been going on for as long now as some people have memories, it seems.

We need to take back out dignity. We need to divorce ourselves in a big way, from the media and fashion industry leading us around by our unenlightened noses. If we want to be taken serious as a species in this Country, it is time we as well dressed for the weather and not for spectacle.

Let's put an end to this once and for all.


Tapered Pants: wider at the top than the bottom

Straight Leg Pants: the same length all the way down


They're different. The end.

Okay, the Gap comment is really silly; Gap clothes for children are great!

I am 46 years old with 3 kids ranging from 25 to 7, I can still wear a 6-7 jeans , but skinny is way out of the question, where would I Hide the bulges, low rise is bad enough, but this no way, but my 7 year old daughter would benifit because she is tall and skinny

We get the difference between the tapered pants and the straight-legged ones! Really, we do! However, for people like me they really end up fitting the same. And that is where my comments about them being awful for my body type came from.
