    In today's society, it has become apparent that is now more acceptable than back then in the 1980's and 1990's on a males to represent one's feminine qualities. As a result of it, male are now able to take in more feminine activities without being strongly judged by society. One of them is male now are wearing skinny jeans. When skinny jeans were created, the initial take was to create an apparel that would compliment a females figure. A jean that closely wraps around the female lower body that showed their curvature that is preferred by men as the observer and women the object being observed. Now this feminine creation is now apparent in male section at department store. And a lot of its influence comes form the media. As in this image, the Jonas Brothers all are wearing skinny jeans. Jeans developed originally for women. The image of these three wearing skinny jeans and affecting the male, mainly teen community is that they are influential to the younger generation and are also strongly admired by the female population. This image thus argues the male population into wearing skinny jeans. Because they are admired by women, men are subjected to such body practice so they too will be seen by women like the Jonas brothers. Thus making men now being the object and women being the observer. Furthermore, such trend has also become popular just like how sagging pants was popular. Not just the Jonas brothers, even RnB artist like Kanye West and High School Musical's Zac Efron wore skinny jeans.These celebrities are influential especially among popular culture.
