Raargh let's ban self-expression on men. Us real men know we can show our individuality perfectly with out boot-cut jeans from Unique, and our witty t-shirt that lets everyone else know to return us to the pub if we're found on one of our manly binges.

And let's not forget the short back & sides with a touch of gel (just a touch - not enough to be gay) & the lumberjack / white with black or blue striped shirt. And desert boots go with everything. Them, or Clarks shoes, just like me da used to wear. Jubbly.

I'm old enough to remember skinny jeans the first time they came around (again), so when I look back at photos of me wearing them, I think, "what a dude". I also have photos of me in flares, so I can take them out too when they too come back into fashion.

If you can fit into them all the more power to you!

ConmanTheKiller · 15-01-2010 2:29am

Christ if it was ten years ago you would all be complaining about the baggy jeans the *ahem* "skaters" used to wear. :mad:

And no don`t ban skinny jeans on men, if ya did that all the trousers i`d have left would be chords from 8 years ago (Wait where the hell did those come from:o)

I wear skinny jeans. Why?

Because they suit me, I feel comfortable in them, I'm the right weight/shape for them and I like them.

I gurantee the people that are against skinny jeans are those who have only seen a handful of men wearing them and didn't suit them and have now formed an opinion of them. Either that or they're just pissed off that their boyfriends don't suit skinny jeans and are gonna attempt to ban them.

I wear clothes that people say they wouldn't dream of wearing which is fair enough. Clothes, like opinions are subjective and it depends on the type of person.

If you don't like it then fine but don't go off and start a Facebook group demanding that all skinny jeans be banned from the country. People will still wear them regardless so you'll have to get used to it I'm afraid.

Also I wear cardigans. Maybe not the "old man" cardigans but these type of cardigans.

If only more guys felt this way!

If a guy can pull off skinny jeans, then go for it. It's the same for women - not every woman can look good in a pair of skinnies but those that do look great. Male or female, skinny or baggy, dressing to suit your shape and with individual style is the most important thing. Generalisations such as "Ban ALL men from wearing skinny jeans!" are pretty pointless.

ashyle · 15-01-2010 2:54am

Straight leg jeans are okay, better than....bootcut :O

Skinny people are now banned. That solves the whole jeans issue. No amount of Special K can sort that issue out.

I'll start by getting mammy to buy me a nice shirt in Dunnes, and some bootcuts of course. Maybe a bit of Brylcreem. Oh and a haircut, short all over. Watch out ladies, I'm a real man!

Precisely.

When women start listening to fashion advice from men on how they should dress, then they can start dishing out some to men as to what they should and shouldn't be wearing.

In my day, skinny jeans were called Skags.

Degsy would love this.

One day me and a mate bounced off school as I had a free gaff and we decided to phone the Gerry Ryan show and complain about mental abuse at home.

So my mate says he is staying with a friend (me) as his mother cut up all his 'Skags' and that they were the only jeans he had.

Gerry fell for the whole thing and kept him on for an hour nearly.

Wonder if it's in their archives somewhere.
