I've seen plenty of guys wear white pants without looking like Eurotrash. I even own a couple of pairs of white linen pants. It's all about overall presentation.

I myself am not a fan of the second skin type jeans I see guys wearing. Granted for the most part it's on young guys with sticks for legs. I'd like to see them on a typical American male with a beer gut LOL Except then i'd have to point and laugh so.... I could see sporting some skinnier cuts but the super tight leggings I just can't appreciate.

What's next the reemergence of tight rolled pants?

Nope, he's just happy to see you

From what I understand of it (admittedly, not much), fashion is something that is supposed to be a functional expression of your personality and lifestyle. One of those "this, above all; to thy own self be true" kinda things. That being said, I've never understood the whole "guys wearing girls jeans" thing. Is it supposed to be non-conformist? An edgy statement about gender roles? Or is it just is it just another silly trend for the masses? Someone please explain the rationale to me. IMHO, it just looks douchey.

Example:

These guys have followed all of the hipster, cleverly ironic, cut-and-paste fashion rules. They look like they desperately want people to think they're cool.

This weekend at the movies there were four teenage boys... maybe 18 or 19... wearing skinny jeans.

Hanging 8 inches below where they were supposed to be. How in the hell do you walk around baggin' your skinny jeans? And they all had a little ass. I kinda wondered if the jeans were just so skinny that they couldn't actually pull them up over the ghetto booty. It was really annoying and looked worse than the whole jeans-seven-waist-sizes-too-big-and-belted-below-the-butt look.

To hell with the jeans, tight or otherwise -- I covet that doublet. Oh man, that is cool. Want, want, want. :thumbsup:

Guys in skinny jeans = gay looking.

The skinny jeans look is the best fashion trend in at least a decade, no question. Yes, like any other good thing, it can be taken to extremes (see hipsters trying a bit too hard a few posts above) but those guys are outliers found in Williamsburg and Silverlake.

I went to high school during the late-90s...does anyone remember that fashion-wasteland? Baggy pants, TRL/N'Sync inspired nightmares, mall-goth run amuck. I embrace this generation's trends--the kids are alright for the first time in a long time. These trends aren't anything new, anyway. It's all a branch off of what Jagger or Bowie were doing in the 60s and 70s, and I have a feeling we'll be looking back fondly at these styles in a few decades when they're recycled all over again.

I think they look ridiculous. Like the dude is trying way to hard to look like they live in the east village or something yet they live in Iowa. Just screams trying to hard IMO.

Now if you see ARTelevision in the members gallery, now he looks fucking cool.

Missed this one back in May. Come summer when I bust out the tropical summertime wardrobe, I'll be glad to prove it.

Totally not into loose fitting jeans. =] Slim/skinny/pipeleg/whatever you want to call them look great and show that you're not fat. ♥

Unless you ARE fat. And there are always plenty of us humans who equate stylish with attractive, regardless of what the mirror says.:shakehead:

There's a difference between slim fit and skinny fit. Of 5 pairs of jeans I wear regularly, 4 are slim fit, but not skinny, the others are baggy and I don't tend to wear them unless I need durable pants. Well fitting slim jeans hug your legs, skinny jeans strangle them.

Y'know, I think this would help a lot of people. If I could go back in time and make it such that men could wear skirts and dresses I would. They look comfy!!

Plan9 03-22-2010 01:08 PM

Wow, I'm going to need years of therapy to get over that.
