Why is it so bloody difficult to get regular fit jeans these days!

Creative83

Went into four different shops today... only one had just one style of regular fit jeans and none in my size.


The shops are absolutely full of skinny jeans :mad:



Are regular jeans going out of fashion or something... if they are then I'm in trouble because I wouldn't be caught dead wearing skinny jeans

I've started wearing 'slim'. Not as tight as skinny but a much better fit than regular. Look good when wearing shoes or trainers. Sit on the foot better and doesn't get frayed at the end.

Be honest, you're really looking for 2002 era bootcuts, right?

They tell us the majority of the population is obese yet these idiots making the jeans are selling stuff which won't fit their customers, I really can't understand it.

You should be proud if that, you never mention it.

Fashion doesn’t care for people who let their frame fall by the wayside. If they don’t have enough skinny people to make a profit they will raise the price rather than sell to larger people.

There making a statement. Fat people don't look good beat into jeans.

I checked today always between 23 and 24 on the complicated BMI scale. I like to keep an eye on it. I don’t want to be ringing the boss saying I can’t come in today I have diabetes. It’d affect my career prospects.

What is the complicated BMI scale?

Regular fit jeans are awful looking, they are as bad as the skinny ones.

Still people haven’t been educated it’s frightening. It’s a measure of your body mass index. It is the be all and end all of health.
You divide your weight in kg by your height in metres. Then divide your answer by your height in metres.
This will give you a BMI score.
You need to get between 18.5 and 25 if you don’t you will miss a lot of days of work due to your immune system not being robust enough.
It really is a very complicated scale but I think it should be a leaving cert subject.
I think a nation with a perfect BMI would miss very few days of work due to illness.

Yet again. BMI has nothing to do with the immune system. :rolleyes:

Funnily enough, slim/tapered trousers are much better if you're fat.

Because you're larger than normal around the bum/waist/thighs but not at the bottoms of your legs it matches your shape and they end up looking like normal straight-legged trousers.

On the other hand, when you you put on a pair of straight-leg trousers that fit, they're too long and way too big on the lower leg so it looks like you're wearing clown pants.

I'm 30 30 but have massive bloody thighs... Topman and most other brands not a chance... totally agree... I recommend superdry jeans they fit normally for the most part i.e not skinny or spray on skinny.

If your BMI is showing you as healthy that means you're a skinny fücker who needs to make some serious gainz

guestwifi

I'm not that old, but not in my 20's anymore, I think skinny jeans look hideous though, everytime I see a young lad wearing a pair it looks like he's wearing an adult diaper underneath. And do these lads not have calf muscles? Recently gave out to a young one in a clothes shop for constantly recommending skinny jeans to me, the damn things are horribly uncomfortable if you've got any muscles on your legs. Most young lads today are built like twigs.

Anyway OP, head onto some of the US websites and buy direct from the likes of Wrangler, much better selection in that market, they'll have stuff ya like and if you buy a few at the same time the postage isn't all that bad.

That’s what the protein shake industry wants us to believe. Carrying too much muscle makes your heart have to work harder. I have bigger arms and legs than most at my weight class but I’m not ridiculously oversized.

140-177 pounds. Although the steroid heads would have you believe you should be 400 pounds with a six pack and that means you are healthy.

Weight wise anything from 71 to 80 kg.

Somewhere between 61 and 83kg (BMI of between 18.5 and 25, assuming you're 1.82)

It's not a measure of should though, it's a measure of probably.

What it's says is that a person of your height and in that weight range has a very high probability of having a health body composition.

It doesn't account for outliers, so an athlete your height could easily weigh 100kg and undoubtedly be healthy, but if you take a random 1.82m, 100kg person it's highly probable that person has an unhealthy body composition.

I think this is why BMI gets criticised so much; people think of it as black and white when it isn't. Though it very probably applies to any individual.

Oh I know what the BMI is.
It's just that you called it complicated.
It is really very simple, your weight divided by your height squared.
I was taking the piss out of you, but it went over your head.
If you think that is complicated I don't see much of a future for your career prospects regardless of how many days you are in.

I haven’t tested it in a while but using my BMI as a marker probably 500kg on account of my perfect health.
My BMI score was a little in the overweight rang when I pulled 180kg so it’d have to be a lot better now.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

The human body isn't meant to carry too much muscle so imo it's bollox that 6 foot guy some guy could be 100kg and be healthy. the problem is we equate health with looks in our society which isn't necessarily the case at all.

Anyway, jeans are getting looser again anyway, or at least that was the projected trend in 2018 but I think some things might just stick and the skinny jeans in Ireland at least will probably stay around for a while.

Anyway, there's loads of decent options out there. Most 'skinny' jeans aren't even that skinny.

You're not underweight. You have a BMI of 20.8 which is pretty close to middle of the healthy range.

Happy with your body is an entirely different question! But if you're there then it's not such a bad place start, much closer to where you (I'm guessing) want to be than way off the scales.

You could go through all my posts. Very few happen during business hours apart from the odd lunch break.
