Carrot leg pants, ice cream pants, pencil pants, slimjims, peg leg pants, skinny pants, arrowhead pants and slim-fit pants are few of the many names associated with the only one cut of jeans. By the name itself, readers can easily visualize the style. It is a funnel-shaped cut usually made of stretchy materials often fit through the legs and with a small opening at the bottom for a tight hold on the legs.

Way back 1950's, the skinny pants were already worn and popularized by country music popstars, rock bands and heavy metal bands.

Time passed and it went out of flavor due to the influence of hip-hop style in the realm of fashion. Apparently, it made a huge comeback in 2000 and the succeeding years.

It is an all favorite of people who desires to look a little bit taller because the slim fit cut makes the legs look longer and creates an optical illusion of an instant increase in height.
