Skinny f*cking jeans

The_Valeyard

Why is it near impossible to get non skinny bootleg jeans?? I've tried four shops today to get the same as I already own. But noooooo. None.

I look like a robot trying to wear them. Awful yokes.

All I want is jeans with wider more comfortable leg and bootcut.


I dont care what the fashion is, just want them to feel comfortable.

Screw you jean making fascists. Wonder who I can blame for this?

They're going to be responsible for a lot of "men's issues" I'd say.

Just get 'straight cut' jeans if you don't want skinny/slim fit. Boot cut are horrendous looking yokes. Almost as bad as men in skinny jeans.

Yeah. Horrendous. Because everyone says they are.

Bootcut jeans were originally designed to accommodate people who wear cowboy boots. For some reason in the mid-90s/early-00s there was a weird phenomena in Ireland where this was one of the most popular jean styles for men. Anybody know why bootcut jeans were (and still are i guess) popular in Ireland but nowhere else outside Texas?

Perhaps you should try the 90's when bootcut was in fashion. Its time to catch up old man

Skinny jeans are just horrendous looking on guys. Especially into their 20s!

I always go for boot cut or loose as I've big calves. Even if I wanted to I couldn't fit my leg into them things.

jeanjolie

Can someone please explain?

Why are tracksuits 'not accepted' but not condemned like skinny jeans on a man?

No. Because they look ridiculous with shoes or runners. They were designed for boots.

I like the way the Bootcut people are pretending that there are only two types of jeans available; Bootcut or Skinny.

bodice ripper

Boot cut = **** is a meme, not a fact. Everyone jumped on the bandwagon one day.

No, these days only skinny available! Even the other shapes are on the skinnish side now as its trendy!

I used to love boot cut jeans… that was until one day, I slipped on a pair of slim jeans. Now I have four pairs of boot cut gathering dust in my wardrobe.

I'm actually thinking of getting them altered to slim cut.

Slim fit jeans are ideal for men who are of a slim build. There seems to be a certain amount of the population who openly abhor any kind of slim fit/skinny jeans, even though they can look good on men.

If you really can't adapt to skinny jeans, or even slim fit ones, just buy a pair of dark straight cut jeans. As much as I try to be open towards boot cut jeans, they are simply horrific.

Tubby legs.

The clue is kinda in the description. Skinny jeans should and often can only be worn by skinny people. If you're bigger of frame, via the process of cake or gym, they would be a nightmare.

I was looking for jeans recently and found an entirely new abomination - skinny bootcut jeans.

I don't want skinny jeans. They're incredibly uncomfortable, always bunching up and cutting in behind the knees, I've never seen anyone they look good on - neither male nor female.
And now they even make my go-to choice of bootcut extra skinny.

The vast majority of jeans available are either Straight or Slim. Skinny is available too but not as popular.

Have you guys tried Bell bottoms? Probably as good a chance of getting them as Bootcut and pretty much the same style of jean.

Love the bootcut and flares are even better.

I am too old for skinny jeans and they look stoopid on anyone my age.

And what's with the no socks? :eek: I know they're probably wearing those insert things, but bare ankles?

Having said that, I am partial to the mod/ska look with too-short drainpipes (as skinny fit was called back then) with white socks.

Yeah the no socks thing looks 10 times worse.

My real worry is that I've already seen people with carrot jeans in the streets - they're going to be the next big come-back from the 80s, and I dread it.

Why is so hard to find a nice pair of denim dungarees?

Maximus Alexander

Jack and Jones have a solid variety of jean styles available.

Aongus Von Bismarck

What age are you, OP? If you are over 35 then you should really question if jeans of any description are suitable for you. Especially if you have the Irishman syndrome of fat arse, matchstick legs and protruding beer belly.

Bootcut jeans are horrific and you can't actually buy them in most European countries where men actually care about their appearance.

If you do feel you have the body to wear jeans then go for a straight cut or low rise pair in a dark colour. Hugo Boss have some lovely sensible styles.

Help!!!!

So what should a man over 35 wear? Corduroy trousers??

The thing about a fashion faux pas like skinny jeans, is that when people look back at pictures from now in 20 years time... it's only then that the full realisation of how stupid they looked will sink in! lol

It happens to every generation. For some reason there is always a section of society that cannot see how ridiculous they look in the moment. But it's totally worth the wait to see them recoil in horror at some point in the future!!

Perhaps there are some people, for which mirrors are rather pointless... as they cannot reliably tell what looks good or bad just from looking in a mirror?? Maybe they are relying solely on the opinion of others or just blindly following a particular trend? :P

Wear whatever we want. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Most jeans are ageless.

I wear a slim tapered. Not tight nor baggy, just right.

Yes, because the next step after jeans is corduroy trousers. Don't be so dramatic. There reaches a point where wearing bootcut jeans, converse runners and a hoody just makes a man look silly - the sartorial equivalent of using Just for Men hair dye.

Chinos come in a wide range of colours and styles. They work well with shirts, casual jumpers and jackets. They are also much more flattering than the dreadful light blue Wrangler bootcuts beloved of many Irishmen. They should be declared illegal by the United Nations Fashion Council.

Exactly this. Always wonder who the fook wears these. Look like flares from the 70s. Don't even know why they are an option...

Men's fertility rates and sperm counts are already on a major downward trajectory without skinny jeans making it much worse.

There's a reason why your balls hang out of your body!

Skinny jeans on an attractive slim young lady - fine. On a 20something hipster lad - silly. On a bulging guy of 48 - abomination!

Skatedude

I've pretty much given up on getting comfortable jeans nowadays. I'm 6"2 and 34" waist, but i have to buy 36+ and strangle them with a belt if i don't want to lose all circulation to my man parts.

If you ever see a guy wearing skinny jeans and also crossing their legs... you really should be asking serious questions about them...

That combination would land me in A&E every time!!

Isn't this sexist though?

I mean you no one's forcing you to wear skinny jeans or surround yourself with people who do, but to claim as a fact that men look bad in skinny jeans is arrogance...no?

JupiterKid

When you reach a certain age (for men, I mean) then the trendy boutiques just don't cut it anymore for practical well fitting trousers. It's practically impossible for me at 42 to get into anything by TK Maxx and I'm not even a "big" guy.

It seems the boutiques are aimed at skinny 20 something models. Body fascists!!
