Men's Nakedness (Awrah)
A man’s awrah is from below the navel to below the knee, from the front, back and sides.
The skin color of the skin of the limb that is considered awrah cannot be showing.
The sunnah is to cover yourself with something loose and modest.
Somewhat tight jeans would be at least somewhat disliked and blameworthy.
Form-fitting jeans that fully define the shape and form of the awrah during normal wear would be sinful to wear and prohibitively disliked.
It is a condition for the validity of the prayer that you cover your awrah.
If your trousers get lowered such that some of your lower back or upper rear is exposed, then if the exposed area is a quarter of the exposed limb, in your estimation, then the prayer would be invalidated if unintentionally exposed for more than the extent of three tasbihs (saying “Subhan Allah”).
If your trousers are tight, and if they completely define the form and shape of a limb that is considered awrah (between navel and knee for men, and the entire body except face and hands for women**), then this is prohibitively disliked and sinful, both inside and outside the prayer.
A prayer performed with such clothing would be necessary (wajib) to repeat. If the Imam’s prayer is invalid, the follower’s prayer becomes invalid.
The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, instructed all men and women that, “Modesty is from faith,” and that, “Modesty brings only good.”
** In Hanafi mazhab, a woman may expose her feet during prayer but not outside of prayer.
