Topman offers skinny jeans for men online in summer 2007

Topman, the UK's leading men's fashion retailers, offers a range of skinny jeans and slim-fit jeans for men online - a staple of 2007's summer wardrobe.

Skinny jeans, also known as drainpipes, slimjims or cigarette pants, have historical roots that stretch back to the 1950s and 1960s, and have since been entrenched by both music and popular culture.

After the 1950s, drainpipes were primarily the domain of Rock n' Roll's trendiest men - most notably, Mick Jagger and The Rolling Stones in the 1960s. As fashion entered the 1970s, skinny jeans for men continued to gain prominence. The birth of punk in the late 1970s saw many male musical icons in Europe and the USA don skinny jeans as their fashion uniform of choice. From The Ramones to The Clash, and The Stooges to The Sex Pistols, skinny jeans became the emblem of punk heroes on both sides of the Atlantic.

Today, skinny jeans have been resurrected by a range of fashion and musical influences. In 2005, skinny jeans were a distinct feature in the lines of many fashion designers, like Karl Lagerfield and Stella McCartney, and the adoption of skinny jeans by male style icons, such as Pete Doherty and Mighty Boosh star Noel Fielding, has firmly sealed their presence in the modern fashion industry.

For a look which radiates Rock 'n' Roll, check out the latest Skinny Jeans from Topman. For a Topman twist on an indie favourite, look out for the great range of skinny jeans in a variety of colours to suit every mood. From red skinny jeans, grey drainpipes or the ever classic black skinny jeans, Topman has every angle of the skinny jeans market covered.

Be adventurous and go red with our Deep Claret Skinny Jeans. After all, life's too short to live in monochrome! Topman's red skinny jeans are the essential item for this season, that will add some colour to male indie wardrobes. But the true indie fanatic should opt for Topman's black skinny jeans; packed with attitude and the perfect choice for crowd surfing and stage diving to the best indie tunes.

Simply wear with a slim fitting tee and finish off with some Topman plimsolls for that perfect look.
