did the "skinny jeans" phase originate in the fourties/fifties or the eighties?!

it began in the 1950s with Teddy Boys in England who wore skinny leather pants. There's a pseudodocumentary/farce on the Beatles called The Rutles that explains the allure of the skinny trouser. anyway, around 1980 there was a resurgence as a tribute to the late John Lennon. that started the trend with denim.


if you actually think about it, skinny jeans are a lot like sturdy fascimilies of Elizabethan mens' tights that they wore underneath bloomers. nothing is never really invented, just rehashed.
