Skinny jeans!!!! Who's wearing them

Sherardp

A guy wearing skinny jeans is just wrong on so many levels, regardless of the trend. Stick to the Levi's, Ralph Lauren, Seven, or Old Navy if all else fails. I just bought a pair of Levi's 501's and they fit a tad baggy since I bought one size up. A little sag, but nothing down to the ankles.

Skinny jeans only look good on supermodels and women from Somalia.

Odd thread I know but when I thought I better update the fashion and went shopping to buy jeans and sneakers and the whole shop had hardly any normal style of pants. Everything was skinny or taper'd lol. I ended buying a whole bunch just to go with the flow and since I have gotten home my wife keeps laughing at me when I model them :cheesygrin:

Just to go with the flow ??? If that flow leads you to San Fran, then maybe. I mean really, they tied you down in this one store ? You couldn't go to another store huh ? Your a trip man, but maybe thats a good thing. You save me lots of coin on drugs.

All I can picture is Kramer in that Seinfeld episode where he tries to sit down on Jerry's couch and then they try to get him up on his feet again after he falls on the couch.

LMAO! :cheesygrin::biggrin:

This is hilarious. PFB, I don't think I need to tell you that your post will fall on fashion ignorant folk here. Most people here have likely been wearing the same style for 2 decades, and most of them are just the oersized tshirt and jeans. maybe even a hip golf polo and some pleated slacks :rolleyes:

I wear skinny/slim jeans. I have for almost 8 years. The relaxed fit went out with the 90s, straight leg came came in and still is the standard in contemporary slacks, and jeans for certain body types, and slim or skinny will probably be the standard for another 4 or 5 as it has now been in the main stream a couple years.

The homophobic and denigrating comments are to be expected from a very out of touch group of individuals.

^^ O.M.G. This is getting funnier. And, FTR, I'm not homophobic. Not much scares me - certainly not guys in skinny jeans.

I didn't call anyone homophobic, least of all, you. I'm just simply observing that homophobic comments were made.

i would not be able to get my manly muscular thighs into any pair of skinny jeans.. but if any of you do have skinny jeans.. post a pic of yourself in them..

As I play soccer, cycle, and wrestle/jiu jitzu, I have this issue with many styles. Slim styles work best, but there are brands that work better than others.

Maybe you and PFB can have a clothes swapping party?

Dude, how "old" are you? You do realize that the Beatles were wearing pants that were so tight in the '60s that if you sneezed you'd split them?

Fashion is nothing but recycled trends from the past. Every so many years you have tight, then loose, then tight, then maybe some bell bottoms, then wide pants and so on. There are a "limited" number of things you can do with pants. And they've ALL been done many times already.

Plus if, you're over 45 you'd look pretty silly in skinny jeans unless you were built like Mick Jagger and lived on watercress? lol I do hope that you are age appropriate here?

Homophobic? Really? There is little indication of that above. BTW. I have a lecture that I give on cross-cultural notions of Sex, Gender and Sexuality that's about 3 hours long! Starts out in New Guinea and ends in the U.S. It also looks at hidden gender bias in many Biology Textbooks?

I agree. So what is the point? I wasn't giving a historical analysis, just a contemporary background. Obviously, fashions get recycled, rethought, and repurposed. Are you saying it was acceptable then, and not now?

Plus if, you're over 45 you'd look pretty silly in skinny jeans unless you were built like Mick Jagger and lived on watercress? lol I do hope that you are age appropriate here?

I disagree. If they're the stretch style, then probably. If they're just designer skinny jeans (which are not often the stretch/girl-style), then not likely if it is done in a fashionable way, and if their body type allows for it, like you said.

Homophobic? Really? There is little indication of that above.

incorrect. It is chock full of homophobic language in the contemporary sense. It doesn't bother me, as I grew up with this type of joking, and participated in it myself as a kid. But ridicule based on ones inconformity to gender stereotypes is generally accepted as and deemed homophobic language.

Sounds very interesting.

You're OK at 31. And I was only referring to the "stretch" style jeans. As far as the recycling of styles, I've never been much of a follower of fashion so I'm not saying anything more than, save your money for other things-don't be a slave to fashion unless you have the money to splurge and you actually care about that, because it's here today and gone tomorrow. But then again, in my profession, I'm expected to be out of date and eccentric, wild unkempt hair, wrinkled pants, etc. The "absent-minded" look, you know. lol

It is also true that one should not look to this forum for fashion advice.

As far as various forms of ethnocentrism and prejudice, well that fight is a significant part of an Anthropologist's daily activity. I'm there with you on that.

On a different note, my favorite moment in this thread is Jstas's description of the difficulties of getting the skinny jeans, his girlfriend liked so much, off?

Back to Final Exams!

Also, I have to say that the current skinny jean trend (for guys) started with skaters/boarders (and similar) wearing girl jeans. It wasn't an intentional trend by any designer. Like most trends started by this demographic, it was done as part of a couter culture. Many liked that it pissed old people off, got attention (positive, negative, or otherwise), etc. Designers just took inspiration from it and now it's contemporary fashion.

I've transitioned from those early motivations of fashion, but adopt trends with counter culture roots. I live and breathe design, and implement it in all areas of my life that I can. It's my profession, and it's my lifestyle. It doesn't bother me that most guys dress like they got back from a shopping spree at goodwill. I just find it funny that many men are threatened or bothered by anything that questions their perception of manliness. In my unprofessional opinion, it's derived from deep seeded insecurities.

It's not unlike the the dozens of trends precipitated in the same way for decades before it. There is a great deal of irony in counter culture trends. We did/do them to snub our noses at uptight parents, authority, etc. but those very people end up adopting the style a couple years later (in a more refined way, of course.

Wait up a gosh darned minute, are tight fitting straight-leg jeans from 30 years ago considered "skinny jeans"? If so, I too am guilty of such a fashion blunder. I was single and had a tight little **** that some women adored in those tight jeans, my future wife among them ! i thought that "skinny jeans" meant a silly lookin', tight fitting pant cuff, sorta' like the zoot suits of way back had !

A skinny jean is essentially a cut more tapered than than a straight leg. some designers make skinny jeans that are just tight-legged but then have a tapered ankle that is akin to a mild boot cut.

But make no mistake, my friend, they are no fashion blunder. As you pointed out, they are veritable chick magnets.
