Boots outside Jeans... on guys

dayve

Has anybody got any thoughts on this. I got myself a nice pair of boots and I've messed around with the idea of tucking a pair of (moderately) skinny jeans into them. I think the look rocks but is it a bit gender bending? Especially considering how popular this look is among girls.

Thoughts please?

Tucking them in is extremely homersexual

I think you've answered your own question here!

It looks ridiculous. Don't do it unless you want people to think Jade Goody's husband is the epitome of style.

Unless you're a time traveling rock star from the mid eighties then no...

ok, I think consensus has been reached

Thanks

I think it depends on age and style.

If you're a cowboy or look like Russell Brand you can do it!

Jesus I love his jacket.

You know he wears Uggs as well....... hardly someone you want to copy. Why oh why would any man want to wear jeans inside of boots...... WHY? It's not cool, it just looks stupid.

jared followill thinks it's ok




don't really like the look myself, it's not too bad but it isn't too nice either

If you think it looks good man go for it ?

That is one of the worst looks I've ever had the misfortune to witness:eek:. People may not be so rude as to call you what they think, but why set yourself up for mockery? It looks awful. Looks like a builder wearing rigger boots. Yuk! And that band photo. Any look an entire group of people affects at the same time, means it's too crap for one person to pull off. Safety in numbers and all that.

Madame Razz

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!


:eek::eek::eek::eek:

Please don't do it......it will scar you mentally, for life:)

I know you've prob got your answer already but pleeeeeeease for the love of god dont do it. Johnathon Reys Myers is a good lookin bloke and even he looks like Roger Ramjet or somethin in that get up. Keep it for the bedroom mirror only

There is only one situation I can think of wear it would be ok: when a guy puts armored motorcycle boots over protective bottoms and that's only really ok when he is ridding a motorcycle.

unugh

It depends really,some people do it well,some people look like bandwagon hopping All Saints mannequins.If you like it wear it,no point in seeking approval on here.

unugh

OH and Jonathan Rhys Meyers whole outfit is horrible,pre distessed jeans and uuugggly boots.damn.Im not a fan of indigo jeans and boots anyway.Black + black is best(ps - im not a goth)

adamski8

the only boots a man should wear are green rubber ones for the farm

That band photo did it for me, they all look ridiculous. The first photo doesn't look too bad imo though.

Thanks for the feedback anyway, wont be tucking my jeans in. Any tips for showing off the boots a bit though, I folded the end of my jeans up last night and it looked ok.

By the way, the style of the boot is similar to the first photo above with the harness buckle, except it doesn't have the two straps on top.

They just look like wellies to me

JRM is a cool dude i think so.

but that look is for rockers. and actors

not for an "average" Irish man.

There's nothing average about me

Buy a motorbike. Actually, when I wore jeans instead of leathers on it, I left the boots under the trouser leg. Stretch your legs out when you're sitting down? Put your feet up on the desk? Wear shorts:D

You should only wear them if you were auditioning for the Village People. Otherwise a definite no.

idontknowmyname

Emmm, not in a million years. Jonathan Rhys Myers looks awful in that picture!

Creamy's right, a lot of people will think it looks gay.

If that bothers you, don't do it, if it doesn't, work away.

Go for it then. Goin against the crowd but who cares..

bigeasyeah

Its a bit camp.Or else its the 'I just came from the woods where I hunt humans for food' look.

mylittlepony

It look good if its costume, think fantasy movie Labyrinth, Jareth, the Goblin King. (sexy glam rock star)
But then if you really like this style, hell go for it.
Life's short.

My first post.

I know this thread is old, but I'm desperately trying to find boots like this old man is wearing all the way to the left in this picture. It's just a random picture i saw online. new or used is fine... i just haven't been able to find anything like it anywhere.

Wooderson can do it.

Think it depends on the outfit and your own personal style, if you have the confidence/arrogance to pull it off.
