It's nice to know the church isn't obsessed with outward appearances.

Skinny jeans are really form-fitting, like jeggings, which are technically leggings,” said BYU-Idaho student Rachel Taylor. “They show a lot of curves


So, so sad.

My granddaughters wear these jeans. If my mega conservative son allows them, then there must be nothing wrong with them.

I love it when the Brethren are publically stupid. It shows such revelatory prowess.

Oh, my. God made BYU-I students with curves. Heaven forbid. Call the Mormon Temperance Society and the Church Lady at once.

I raise my right hand and sustain this decision by my spiritual leaders. I wish others would follow the lead of our inspired leaders and get rid of this vile trend in clothing.

If they were truly inspired they would also ban those God awful lug boots
It is my province to teach to the Church what the doctrine is. It is your province to echo what I say or to remain silent.

Wait. So what about people who are super skinny and curve-less?

Are there bodies allowed to wear skinny jeans? Is it the curves that are evil or the jeans?

I'm confused!

I think skinny jeans look dumb, but why is the church the fashion police? I also think earrings on guys is stupid. So is the church going to ban that too? Oh wait...

That's like saying you have a high tolerance for alcohol, so you should be able to have a beer without breaking the WoW. The skinny jeans ban is for all, not just the curvy people. The lord does not make exceptions. Skinny jeans are gateway trousers. You may think you can avoid the temptation because you are skinny and they fit you well, but don't be deceived by the adversary.
