Skinny f*cking jeans

elefant · 01-06-2017 07:32AM

People talking, even jokingly, about seeing their balls or losing sperm count in skinny jeans- just how skinny are the jeans you're looking at on a regular basis?

A skinnier fit is very much in style now, of course, but it's not a straight choice between painted on and flares!

Your best bet is Dunnes or the 70s

Have given up on jeans of any kind.

They don't last pissing time before tearing, they take an absolute age to dry and I boil in them esp. in hot weather.

The skinny jeans look is ridiculous, only suits guys of a certain build and even then it's laughable.

How much do you buy your's for?

Bought some from H&M for €35 in 2013 and they've lasted me (keep in mind I was 14-15 at the time).

Who exactly who you point to that looks ridiculous in them?

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.

Oh, and he's back to the beer bellies of Irish men again. You missed the bit about their bloated red faces though.

I'd say you dress like Dermot Bannon or Ryan Tubridy. That's the kind of image I get. Mid-to-upper range expense, but terribly obvious and bland.

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?

Tesco have great fitting jeans and cheap too

not sure if you are female or male but the skinny jeans thing is totally sick, I feel your anger. I think having "skinny" in the title is like mental manipulation marketing in some way maybe making women feel "skinnier" wearing them and normal jeans would be considered "fat" jeans?

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.

The most sensible post in the thread here.

I feel it would be a major marketing mis-step.

Ditched jeans many years ago, awful yokes

Your Face · 01-06-2017 10:07AM

Thankfully, my gainz prohibited me from ever having to worry about this horrible trend.

How long before we're all wearing dresses in the Summer?

Hopefully in my lifetime anyway.

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!

You know skinny jeans aren't actually that much tighter in the crotch area, right?

This argument is so daft. If a man wears cotton underwear they are going to be far more fitted in the crotch than his jeans.

Wearing skinny jeans that stop at the ankle with no socks and slip on shoes SHOULD be a crime.

Anything I wear is tight in the crotch area. Only saying.

I was going out last weekend and was wearing skinny jeans. They look decent because they're not super skinny and are the stretch type, dark also. I was gonna wear boots but then my wife wanted me to wear my Timberland boat style shoes with no socks, it was a summer evening. When I did that I honestly looked like a woman! She tried rolling up the jeans at the bottom and it was even worse so I put boots back on. Fine line.

It's ok dude, I have bought all bootcut jeans since they seemed to be feck all of them anywhere I tried so you can blame me this time :pac:

lolokeogh · 01-06-2017 10:50AM

wearing no socks is not just with skinny jeans,go back to miami vice,those dreadful suits were wore on the tv show at least with no socks..and how many here were guilthy of wearing the miami vice type suit?

MrMorooka · 01-06-2017 12:26PM

Am I the only one who can't even tell the difference between bootcut or skinny or whatever? Jeans is jeans.

I'm wearing jeans right now and I have no idea what style they are, other than 'blue'.

thats what happens when you let your mammy buy your clothes

For years I bought straight cut jeans and thought they were ok, then I discovered slim jeans. Nice halfway house between the awful skintight look and the baggy straight cut. They can snuggly accomodate the larger gentleman's waist and arse without popping buttons when you sit, while still giving a well fitted, streamlined look down the leg. :cool:

That's what I imagine Jeremy Clarkson says when he puts on jeans.

And he looks a state.

I think he is referring to pinrolling? It's usually done by people who are into their runners.

I wouldn't put too much credence in what's "in style now"... there are people walking down catwalks in Milan with potted plants on their heads, because some clown decided it was "in style now"...

Nor would I wear something, just because lots of other people are wearing it... as history shows numerous examples of many millions of people all getting it wrong at the same time when it comes to clothing trends!

Skinny jeans (all skinny jeans) look ridiculous on men!

LadyMacBeth_ · 01-06-2017 02:54PM

I despise skinny jeans, they are an abomination. I have been impatiently waiting for the comeback of flares for years, in the meantime I content myself with bootcut jeans. Recently though I put on some weight and have been finding it difficult to find size sixteen bootcut jeans. Skinny, highwaist skinny, jegging, the horror of shopping.

Well, that's complete gibberish.

You yourself don't have to wear the same clothes as other people, but millions of people wearing a similar style is a trend. How can following a trend be 'getting it wrong'?

MarkR · 01-06-2017 03:20PM

I think mine are bootcut. And I'm wearing boots. Win

People getting angry over jeans. Jaysus.
