Guys wearing "skinny" pants

[Tituscrow]

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.

God bless the internet

You can wear a suit without a belt as well, though a sport jacket or odd blazer without a belt doesn't look good.

Eh.. I feel my look is incomplete without a belt. Unless I'm wearing suspenders - then a belt is optional.

My wife says NO ONE should EVER wear pleated pants. Man, woman, thin, average, heavy. NO ONE looks good in pleats.

Braces and side adjusters for suits, belts for everything else is my motto. You need to wear either/or with a suit though. Never combo.

are "boot-cut" jeans considered skinny? i once ordered six pairs of loose fitting jeans and decided to get one pair of the B-C just for variety. man, those B-C's feel hella tight, IMHO. i feel a bit sexy when i put them on, so i only wear them on date night's. i guess they are my version of "Bang-Me" jeans!

Bootcuts are sooooo '00s, and rather unflattering.

Pleats actually make sense when wearing your waistband like navel level and up. But since no one wears pants like that, it is a bad idea.

In the wife's book, pleats are right up there with mandals, jorts, man capris, and tucked in tank tops (esp. W/ jorts)

Suspenders? Isn't that T-Birds thing?

I haven't gotten the chance to wear suspenders, I was speaking about what is acceptable fashion, IMO.

Like I said - I've never worn suspenders, really I haven't I swear

 

[cheezewiz]

Suspenders don't look good on heavy guys. That excludes me from wearing them.

Come on cheez! Rock those suspenders! Bonus points for a bow tie

Pleats are for fat guys. I used to be a fat guy, I haven't worn pleats in years.

I wore skinny jeans, bowtie, and suspenders (no belt) to a gig. (A la 11th doctor) once.

My son wore slim dress pants, suspenders and a bow tie to a school dance this weekend, but he is 14. He looked good

If boot cut were 00's Cavaricci pants epitomized the 80's

By suspenders, you all mean what we call braces, right?

Maybe it's because I'm currently playing country, but EVERYBODY I'm around wears bootcuts. My current favorite pair of jeans are some Calvin Klein bootcuts in a dark blue wash. I think that while the size of the leg opening may change with trends, bootcuts themselves will never really go out of style.

For last night's show, I wore a pair of Buckaroo jeans. I scored them from Plato's Closet for like 18 bucks. I wore a pair of Diesel bootcuts the night before. Also scored those for like $22. Authenticating a pair of Diesels is real easy - look at the silver microstitching on the inside tag with the Native American picture - so you can really find some killer deals for them on the used market.

The hipster is strong with this one.

And yeah, pleats are horrible. They make you look wider than what you really are.

Yep. Here is one of the most iconic wearer of suspenders/braces in pop culture:

I was gonna ask the same thing. Suspenders is a more accurate description of the function IMO.

Same thing as 'colour' you guys across the pond are funny
