Guys wearing "skinny" pants
- Thread starter bassinplace

Keep in mind, the tight=feminine concept is purely a social concept. If it was the other way around, and guys started wearing baggy pants, everyone would say it was ridiculous.
Ah, now it's all clear, Pac. You fronted this band before taking the military gigs:
I suspected as much due to the shaved head, but once you mentioned your wardrobe, I finally made the link.
That is, quite possibly, the worst band I have ever heard.
yep.
Like traditionally scotsmen wore kilts. But we see this through modern western culture eyes and we think... whoa skirts on men? It's probably only accepted cause traditional scotsmen were like...some of the manliest men that ever manned. A man could wear a kilt in public fine, but try any other type of skirt....
But what if you are skinny?
I'm 48 yo, 6 feet tall and 156 lbs.
Levi's 514s and 527s, 31x34 when I can find 'em. I'll settle for 32x34 but can't go without a belt then.

I hate wearing belts. I like wearing skinny jeans. I look good.
I don't wear them all the time though...I'm not going to work in skinny pants. More often than not, I'm wearing more traditional cuts.
You guys that are wearing pants with pleats - stop doing *that* immediately.

One of my exes used to wear girl jeans, but he definitely had the ass to get away with it. Never seen another guy look good in girls jeans though. Men categorically do not look good in skinnies.

About a year ago, someone made a thread in the Band Management forum about an employee's manual type of document for a wedding band called DearJon that he had come across on the Internet. The entire thing read like a legal document and went into crazy detail about everything, even so far as to how to handle another musician making a clam on stage.
The bandleader of that wedding band is the shaved-headed Anton LaVey looking dude in that video. I was so fascinated by the whole anal, micromanaging of that document, coupled with the mediocre performance videos for DearJon, I looked up the BL and found out he used to front a bad AOR-inspired band called F.U.
You can wear a suit without a belt as well, though a sport jacket or odd blazer without a belt doesn't look good.
Modern "skinny jeans" are just a more extreme version of mid to late 60's rock fashion before bell bottoms took over. There was a resurgence in the 80's. And now again. It's all circular...
I used to wear well fit jeans, then baggy jeans, then skinny jeans, and now I'm back to well fit jeans.
Thing is that I just never buy new jeans.
