    I honestly don't get the hate over boot-cut jeans. They're just jeans!

    They just look awful! I mean irish people don’t dress particularly well for the most part but why do you think it’s the only place in the world where they’re worn these days??

    Lynx is not, nor has ever been, an antiperspirant. It is a deodorant.

    You are incorrect in your assertion. The white Lynx cans are an antiperspirant, the black ones are just a deodorant indeed.

    I've never even seen white lynx cans! Don't think they had them when I was a kid.

    Is it?

    I really don't understand what's awful about literally just jeans. I'm not trying to be smart. I Google image searched boot-cut jeans now and all I see is images of people wearing jeans, absolutely nothing awful about them.

    Now badly fitted jeans - that's a different story, but that's not exclusive to boot-cut.

    There seems to be people who think boot cut jeans look awful and people who don’t (Irish people). Boot cut = badly fitted imo.

    What's awful about the following? Not an Irish website: https://goo.gl/images/Mjz5aW

    The "Oh noez boot-cut jeans!" thing just seems like a bandwagon.

    How come no one has mentioned the hairstyles that go with the tight trousers and no socks?

    Looks like the opposite of the mullet. Party at the front business as the back!!

    Probably because they’re practical and bend in them and do some work in them. Also they don’t crush your balls as well as any chance of reproduction.

    Everywhere you look you seem to see teenagers with bandy legs going on. Skinny jeans, white trainers and bandy as fck legs. Anyone else notice that? Its a wonder they can walk straight. Not specifically teenagers though, lots of people in early to mid 20's have it going on. It difficult not to notice it when one is walking straight towards you looking like they are walking on their outer foot arches the whole time. Is it a poor nutrition thing? Lot of people in the 1950's and 60's had similar going on and it was due to poor nutrition as a youngster.


    I have noticed that bandy leg thing! Not everywhere but it seems fairly common. Not sure if it's the clothes, genetic or cause people generally eat like crap. We've access to some of the best foods in the world yet so many people never eat a meal that doesn't have chips in it.
    Keep an eye out for wonky ankles too OP. So many people roll on their ankles when they walk due to crappy footwear. Particularly true of the fairer sex who tend to have the more outlandish footwear. Who needs mobility in old age when you can look stylish today!

    To be fair all fashion looks awful.
    It's just what you're used to.
    I really wish more people went around in cloaks and hoods. And maybe carried whips...

    Everything is gone so PC now. What happened the good ole days where a swift boot in the arse solved a lot of these problems.

    Case in point here and only happened yesterday.

    The boot in the arse is a versatile tool.

    I'm 33 so no youngfella, but I think the kidz are better dressed now than we were. One issue in men's fashion in Ireland (and the UK) is wearing clothes that are a little too big, so guys will wear medium who would look better in a small. There's a slight fear about clothes hugging your skin too much and I can understand, but most guys will look better just moving down a size (this may depends on your physique, but most of us fit under normal-sized).

    All that being said shorts seem a bit odd. I mean maybe it's a style choice, but suffering for fashion surely cannot extend to...

    Depends on the length of the shorts and how hot it is, I suppose.

    Definitely not going to suffer for fashion here - never did, never will - but comfort is the main thing. Nothing looks worse than someone who clearly looks uncomfortable in what they're wearing, but persists regardless.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    He's just cranky because his man bun is too tight, his balls are being squashed in his skinny jeans and his ankles are cold :p

    Genuinely laughed out loud at this.

    Haha I was pleasantly surprised to see this thread because it actually is something I've noticed. I do regularly see a surprising amount of seemingly healthy people under 30 walking funny, and I don't know why. Maybe someone on social media told them to do it. But it's like their legs have forgotten how to... leg.

    As for the fashions and styles, every generation moans about the trends of the generations that come after them. That's one thing that'll never change. Our generation's trends were stupid too!

    This is an education for me as I never see any teenagers.... Last time I did a street market and the schools let out for lunch it was the sheer size of the kids that alarmed me... Glad I am not teaching any more :eek:

    Mind you the junk they were buying and eating, rickets would not surprise.. ;)
    I think it's the first time in history that we have seen an epidemic of people suffering from both obesity and malnutrition.
