Snoop Dogg Shares the Surprisingly Practical Reason He Refuses to Wear Skinny Jeans: ‘Not Doing That’ (Exclusive)
The rapper tells PEOPLE that there's a "certain limit" to his iconic style
Even a style icon like Snoop Dogg has his limits.
In conversation with PEOPLE, the rapper, 52, revealed the one fashion trend he can't get behind: skinny jeans.
"I'm skinny, so it's going to be a problem getting in and out of these motherf----ers, so please don't," Snoop tells PEOPLE exclusively. "There's a certain limit to the skinny, you know what I'm saying?"
The star continues, "We can't do that, because I can't have nobody helping me take my pants off like this, 'Pull it off for me.' We ain't doing that. We are not doing that."
A '90s hitmaker turned cultural phenomenon, Snoop has become known for his distinct, larger-than-life fashion sense. He credits his creations to stylist and designer Talia Coles, who has been working with the star for years.

"We work together as a great team of ideas and she understands fashion, fabric, she understands my look, my style," Snoop says of their collaboration. "So it's easy to work with somebody who can take your ideas and then bring them to life, not just on paper but on your body."
The rapper adds of Coles: "She understands me. So we don't ever clash."
"For example," he continues, "if I was to do a shoot for Louis Vuitton or Gucci, I would have her go get with them so they wouldn't pull out something flamboyant that I definitely wouldn't wear because they like to be experimental in those ads. And we don't experiment. We bring the fly to the ad. You give us that wardrobe and watch what we do with it."
