Skinny Jeans for guys? Love or hate?

[tachosomoza]

They play a key role in many a skin's wardrobe, but a lot of people associate them with the majority white, bourgeois hipster subculture today. Personally, I love them. How about you?

^ My favorite pair. Not exactly skinny...slim straight.

[tm315]

I don't care what others where.

[PhoenixAsh]

Thats not skinny jeans imo. I like those, btw.

These are skinny jeans imo, I don't like these:

But then again...I don't have to wear them. And if somebody feels happy with them then more power to them :) I also will not deny that there are some people that can actually pull them off (no pun intended...:D) quite well. Then again....some of my non skinny jeans seem to be getting skinnier...it might be my washing skills...at least...I hope so :blink::laugh:

[brigadista]

wrong

[Quail]

Straight leg jeans as in the OP are okay and skinny jeans can look okay depending on who is wearing them and how they're wearing them. I think they're better suited to a woman's body though because they look really good on a curvy figure.

The skinny Levi's 511s are as far as I'll go.

I don't even know what hipsters are. I thought they were trousers like Robert Plant wore in the 1970s. But I'm an '80s kid so I still wear skinny jeans even though I'm rather more than 40 so probably shouldn't.

You know what I mean. Upper class.

[Blake's Baby]

I see.

No, I don't associate skinny jeans with people that look like this...
...

http://reedlove.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/hipster1.jpg

... I associate them with Echo and the Bunnymen, Joy Division, the Jesus and Mary Chain, the Sisters of Mercy, the Psychedelic Furs and other '70s/'80s bands that I used to listen to in the '80s.

[tachosomoza]

The Psychedelic Furs are boss. :thumbup1:

[brigadista]

skinny jeans = fashion victims

[Tenka]

I understand skinny jeans to be tight jeans. Tight jeans are oppressive instruments of Trouser Tyranny.

I don't get the fashion trend behind skinny jeans.

Screw skiny jeans.

baggy jeans lol so 90s

skinny jeans are ok but i wear slim straights i don[t think i have the body for skinny jeans

[Admiral Swagmeister G-Funk]

I don't like the look of them, and I reckon they'd constrict my balls too much. Skinny jeans look great on a woman, and if you'll forgive me, especially a woman with a nice derriere.:wub:

[hatzel]

I don't even own a pair of jeans of any description. A truly ghastly item of clothing...

What do you wear when you want to dress casually?

[Crux]

Casual? That's when you lose the tie.

picture of "hipsters"
I wouldn't say these people are "hip". They look like wankers with scarfs.

not so hipster I d say

[The Douche]

Who still talks about skinny jeans? Ok, back in 2003 or 2004, when I was a freshman in highschool, and nobody wore slim fitting jeans, and I was a punk and had to make my own skinny jeans by going to the store, buying a pair of stretchy jeans, pinning them to the desired tightness, and sewing them up myself, back then, yes, I expected people to wig out at it.

But it's been a trend by this point for like 6 years guys. Who the fuck complains about skinny jeans now? I would say probably the majority of the people I see wear skinny or slim-fitting jeans, regardless of what subculture they identify with or music they listen to or whatever.

Like some people don't like it, obviously, that hapens with all trends. But shit, this would be like complaining about how you don't like tall tees and how dumb they look. It just is weird to me that people are still talking about a trend that has been around so long, and is kind of a little bit on its way out.

[Blake's Baby]

And had already gone out the first time by about 1989.

Aww mate it's not the worst. I was seeing this lad in Jan/Feb and he dragged me into Topman. Everything was just toilet. But there were these Aladdin trousers which went skin-tight at the shin, and I was like 'do these look good on anybody?'

Are they those kinda denim jeans with elasticated bottoms? If so, they are the most horrible fucking trousers I've ever seen. I despise them.

[Angry Young Man]

I think they're called carrots or something. Basically, the crotch is really long. Think of Aladdin's trousers, but with a skin-tight bit on the shins. And they're fucking horrible. I just think of paedophiles buying them to hide erection.

But yea, you can't beat a straight-legged or slightly flared pair of trolleys. There's a reason they've always been there. If you want to be different with the trousers you wear, take on the pattern, not the shape. I have a pair of white trousers which some day soon I'll decorate with a climbing thorn.

Yeah I know the kind of trousers you're on about. Alladin trousers is a good description, they're awful. They're on par with jeans with elasticated bottoms in terms of how awful they are, perhaps worse even. I only own a couple of pairs of Levi's now which I got cheap in charity shops, straight legged with the bottoms rolled up a bit for my boots. Straight legged jeans are the only way to go imo.

[Lacrimi de Chiciură]

skinny jeans are pretty kewl

[Blake's Baby]

OK comrade, we get it. You're old. :lol:

No comrade, you're young.

In the 70s people wore flares. This was because there was still a period of conspicuous consumption from the post-war boom. During the 70s, when the economy began to melt, people started wearing skinny jeans again. During the late 80s, trousers got baggier as a result of increased confidence. They got preposterously large during the 90s. During the 00s they got smaller again, as people began to feel less confidant about the economy and the world situation in general.

Just, you know, taking an historical perspective on all this.

[Sentinel]

I usually wear tight jeans. I feel like they hindlight (hehe) my muscular lower body. :)

[Rusty Shackleford]

totally uncomfortable. so, hate.

That's the ticket! See, I'd totally buy those trousers if they were straight-legged. This is what I mean by straight leg being the strong meme and altering the pattern rather than the shape.

But I'd prefer if the stripes went down diagonally.

ED: On the subject of this dude's taste, 1. Why is he wearing a bright coloured shirt with 2-tone trousers? 2. Why is he wearing orange at all?

[bcbm]

yeah that guy looks like shit, i've seen some people in photos who pulled it off but that was the first one i found

[Jazzratt]

They look fine on other people (then again I don't think I've ever met any guys that wear them at all.). I wouldn't wear them, however.

[Quail]

^ You probably have the figure for them though.

[Jazzratt]

^ You probably have the figure for them though. Bollocks. I don't have an arse.

Edit: To clarify, I of course have all the necessary apparatus at the lower end of my body to loosely be called an "arse" but I don't really have particularly substantial or shapely buttocks.

[Magón]

I am opposed to anything, clothing or otherwise, that would detract from my bulge.

[Agent Ducky]

I don't hate guys who wear skinny jeans. One of my guy friends does... he dresses kinda feminine in general.
Personally, I wear them sometimes, but they don't end up looking all that skinny on me because I'm just ridiculously thin. But I like how they look on me, and with guys I think at least it's better than having their pants sagging below their ass. That's just gross.

[Quail]

^ I don't understand the fashion of trousers hanging below the bum. Sometimes I see men wearing trousers that are literally belted under the arse and sometimes you can see a bit of a bulge at the front.

Also, women wearing leggings as trousers. I don't get that either.

[Agent Ducky]

I don't understand it it's just like, who seriously want sto see your boxer shorts? I don't know anyone female who actually finds that style attractive. And wearing leggings like that is also not really understandable.... and then they came out with "jeggings"... which I don't really understand either >_>

What for? I mean if you're an anarchist from Sheffield, you're either TAT or Palachinov. Both poofters. (I'm allowed: I'm gay. Check my membership of the 'Queers' group)

Oh and the kids round here, Jesus, they actually do wear it at the base of the glutes. I honestly don't know why.
