This gives a cool and sharp look that skinny jeans and other pants don't have. Slim-Fit Joggers Slim-fit joggers are the best pants for skinny guys. If you are a skinny guy, you have to have at least one pair of joggers in your wardrobe. Joggers are great because they look very good on guys with skinny legs. Because of the way joggers are designed, they have cuffs at the bottom of the pants around the ankles, giving the pants a very nice look. Wearing joggers is also a great way to show off your sneakers. I've been wearing joggers for over 5 years now and I originally wore them because they made my legs look bigger. Now, with the way the style has evolved to look classier and become more comfortable, I wear joggers almost every day.
