I like the shape of skinny jeans, but I do not like dress pants to be that straight. Of course, I've learned to never say never, but it seems there is a higher chance of dress pants that narrow in towards the ankles winding up looking weird... I think it is because jeans are meant to be form-fitting all over, including the hips, whereas dress pants are meant to be more drapey. So there's higher risk of having that "lollipop" effect.
With that said, I do prefer my dress pants to be cut closer to the body in the thigh area. That seems to be flattering for my shape, being petite with narrow hips, I can easily get swallowed up in wider legged dress slacks. For example, BR Martin's come in two different cuts. Both are bootcuts, but one is cut wider in the thigh, the other is slimmer. The wider ones look frumpy on me. I just don't fill them out properly.
