Guys wearing "skinny" pants

#22
I've worn them though i dont have some right now. I think they make me look fetch (no i will not stop trying to make fetch happen)

They are certainly better than baggy jeans anyway. I dont like that to be manly apparently youre supposed to have the least skin hugging clothes possible. I used to wear smaller shirts but ive gained weight and it just looks pathetic if the shirt is hugging your belly.

anyway, unfortunately while i think skinny jeans look good, theyve been appropriated by hipsters. It's impossible to wear them and not have people think you're a hipster.

It's hit or miss really. I have problems getting enough rise to avoid plumbers crack as well.

THAT is the worst. Everytime you have to do anything but stand up... I dont have a particularly attractive ass crack. What? Nobody does? Yeah i guess. Well, women but...any girl wearing her pants that i can see her ass crack I would probably turn up my nose at. Unless it was accidental.


Ill probably still take a look though.... and then point and scream HARLOT!!!!! WOMAN OF LOW MORALS!!!! (not really though but you know)

Levi 510 and 511's for life. Right now I have the classic vans on, Levi 510's and a Sabbath t shirt on. I like that look, I feel comfortable, I am in my early 20's and girls dig the way I dress and I havent had issues there. Also you can be hung and it all fits in skinny jeans, just ask you're mom.:)

When I see a middle aged guy with a huge beer gut, loose fitting dockers and a golf shirt, I am rather disgusted at how someone could be such a example of totally giving up on thier body but I don't start a thread on it.

510s is all I wear, super comfortable. There is a Levi's outlet near me so I get my pick of whatever colour I want.

I am not sure what "skinny" pants are, but I was having a drink in a bar once, and the lady sitting next to me was wearing pants that looked like they were painted on. I asked her how hard it was to get into her pants, and she said, "You could start by buying me a drink."

First rule of skinny jeans...particularly for women...you must BE skinny to wear skinny jeans! I haven't seen too many issues with fat guys and skinny jeans, but I've seen some BIG girls in things they shouldn't be wearing. No disrespect for big girls...some of the most beautiful ladies I know are bigger ladies, but they also dress appropriately. Some things just don't look right on some bodies...

I'm tall and thin, so I have to be careful with relaxed jeans as they'll often make me look lanky or pear shaped. I do have a pair of relaxed Calvin Kleins that I really dig, though. I wear a lot of slim straight and slim boot, but I do like a tight mid-rise waist with a somewhat relaxed leg, such as a pair of Buffalo Ruffers that I have.

I've never been a big skinny jean guy (no pun intended), but I do have a pair of near mint skinny Diesels that I scored used for a killer price. They look great, have a stretchy quality to them that feels awesome, and are pretty rockin' for on stage.

What I don't like is the slim or skinny look where they appear two sizes too big, and the legs have this endless number of wrinkles going down them. Jeans don't need to create a perfectly smooth silhouette, but I don't like the emo-meets-90s-hip-hop look either. I'm talking about this (although I've seen worse examples): Link Removed

Part of the reason I never did the raw selvedge thing is because I'd rather not wear an ill-fitting pair of jeans for 6 months.

Saggy butt, skinny leg jeans look uber stupid. On everyone. Really. If you think you don't look like an idiot in them, you are sadly mistaken.

For anyone asking "what do you care what other people wear?" To that I will offer that "care" might be a strong word.

Instead, I'll ask a question back at you: "why are you wearing pants that are RIDICULOUSLY unflattering (at best) and way more often than not, make the wearer look like nothing but another hipster trendoid fad-sucker who is trying to inhale the world through his anus?"


Just like the waist band below the butt in the 90s, or even bellbottoms in the 70s. They make the wearer look stupid/fad-humping beyond polite description.


Yeah, lol. Expressing yourself? By purchasing pants designed to fit you badly, and make you look like an (expletive deleted) putz, while exploiting your need to look like every other hipster doofus fad-sucker?

Way to go "trend setter"! :p



Any other questions?

I wore stretchy skinny jeans up until I took a weight training class in high school and started biking again. My thighs exploded and there was no longer room in the pants for my junk unless they were sagging a good bit, which I don't like to do. Still have a pair of them hanging around in case I want to cross dress or something...

But there was the time I tried on my exes, mothers, neon-yellow super-stretchy-super-skinny jeans from back when SHE was in high school. Man, did my junk look great in those pants....
