Skinny Jeans . . .

[iNfErNaL]

Anybody here wear them ? , what's the deal with these things ? , everyone is starting to wear them and I just don't get it . Maybe I'm just a little older than the crowd who wears them but I know when I was younger you'd get laughed at and teased as a male wearing tight jeans . Not too mention how uncomfortable your tenders would be   

[kneedownnate]

Vanity is a fickle pregnant dog, as are the mindless drones dumb enough to throw themselves all over the current trends just to fit in.

[Tyler82toy]

im with you i dont get it, i also dont understand why someone would pay twice as much for jeans that already have holes in them

[ajordan1975]

yeah....... not sure myself but i have to laugh when i see it.

Or maybe you're not old enough to remember them from before...   

Actually, I had to Google this, and it looks kinda like stuff that some of the early British rockers wore, way back when the Beatles first invaded us. Dunno if Mick Jagger ever moved on to a different style or not...

I was in high school in the mid to late 80's and tight jeans were popular then too.   I think Guess was the popular brand at the time....And the more holes the better.   Remember hair bands.    Watch VH1-Classic sometime.    Kids always think they thought up a "new" fashion craze when all they ever do is recycle old ones. 

hmmm.  Now if I could just find a way to fit into my old 34" waist pants.

Does anyone remember "pegging" you pants?  Maybe it was just a Souther California thing in the '80s.

I remember that from the 1950s, in the PNW...

I'm only 32 so I "guess" should still know what the trends are but I'm clueless on these.  I asked my younger sister and some younger friends the other day about the "skinny leg jean" fad and the best answer I got was, "It's just what everyone is doing right now........."


The other fad I don't understand is the moppy top haircuts.  I pulled 6 years in the Marines so I realized my view of hairstyles is skewed a bit but I just don't understand, in the heat of summer, how you can stand to have that much hair on top of your head and then to be constantly flipping and flopping it like a swimsuit model is just beyond my comprehension.  Sorry if that offends anyone that may have "big hair" but maybe you could explain it all.


cheers

Nope, did it in NoCal too. Pegged pants with mid top white Reeboks

Yep.  Rolled up pants.

Oh man, thanks for reminding me   Did that in high school

[Stocker]

I'll admit to being out of the loop....  but back when I was  kid, "pegged pants" had nothing to do with rolling up the cuffs.

It meant stripping the seam crotch-to-cuff, removing as much material as you could (and still squeeze into them), and re-stitching, making for some very tight-fitting skinny pants.

A few kids had 'em, but I don't think I ever did. Not that my Mom would have done them for me anyway....   

[79coyotefrg]

ok, whats wrong with this

  It was K-Swiss shoes for me! 

[chim]

There is nothing wrong with that unless its actually a dude!

[79coyotefrg]

if its a dude he's had something removed or its tucked somewhere

[iNfErNaL]

ok, whats wrong with this

LOL , absolutely nothing !  , I should've explained . I meant when dudes wear them . I know the whole british rocker and punk style , what I don't get is dudes that are wearing them now with Sean John and Ecko shirts . Like they are combining different styles and trends .

[ajordan1975]

I saw a kid at the pasadena Cook off dressed like a cowboy but insted of a cowboy hat he had a flatbilled fox hat on.......

Anorexia? My arms are bigger than her legs.

Gimme a woman with some curves (natural or enhanced  )...like the 40's, 50's and 60's.

[BUDDERS]

Oh man, thanks for reminding me   Did that in high school

High School?  Your not that much older than me Nate.... I was doing that in the mid '80s which would have  probably been '85-87 ( with BK's  ).  I guess trends move to NorCal pretty slow.

Oh and,

ok, whats wrong with this

[JanMarie13]

The BMX guys around here started wearing "skinny jeans" awhile back.... no more duct taping the legs so they don't get caught in the chains.  Not that I think it's acceptable, I still tease them about it.  LOL.  But it's one explanation anyway 

[Slolyfe]

I just gave up wearing pants all together.

[95toyrunner]

i personaly think there's a difference between cowboy-cut wranglers and skater jeans. i think the wranglers are much more acceptable. what do you guys think?

Whatever floats your boat, but that's a little elderly for my tastes.  But hey, if you like 'em like that, follow your bliss.  They do make the best cookies.















 

[peacesells]

I wear stranglers, but only to show off my extremely massive package. I also wear sunglasses at night time, so maybe im not the best source for information.

[axled89]

there still ugly.       what happened to a regular pair of levis?   

[BLACKDOG]

Carhartt regular cut for me.  I like to keep the blood flowing to my "boys" 

Plus I like to sit down once in a while.

[84xcab]

I wear wrangler 30x30 slims, but only because I have short legs and a small waist

I am in that demographic    ...but, I was speaking of the way women were built in those decades. Please note that I said "the" not "in their".

Legs were actually legs...not arms with feet on 'em!
