Once.
Couldn't get my size 52" waist with an extra short leg very hard to find

And there it is.. It's usually some fat out of shape mess that wouldn't fit into a decent pair of jeans if they're life depended on it that's giving out and laughing at other people who look smart.

I don't like super skinny jeans but they are a million times better looking than the boot cut ****e that all the lads who laugh at skinny jeans wear.

He still made a good point about the awful bootcut jeans. No doubt the bootcutters will be out in force to defend their poor choice in denimwear.

The type with the hatch at the back or do you have to pull them all the down when you hit the toilet?

Take them off completely for comfort

Funnily enough they are back in fashion.

Oh ya I wouldn't wear Bootcut but again at least I wouldn't be bulging in them... Skinny on the other hand, I don't even mind the look as long as they cover ankles but I can't find any that fit the crotch right...

I feel like I see more tracksuit pants than anything on the youngsters these days. The ones that are tight at the ankle and get looser further up. Remind me of the scobe look from my youth with the trackies tucked into the socks.

Don't care in general (far from fashionable myself), but it's a weird combination that doesn't look tidy and it's the only thing the young lad will wear. He was meeting Michael D a few years ago and was very unimpressed to hear he'd have to wear something dressier than Pennys trackie pants :rolleyes:

I don't think only two options are bootcut or skinny. I'm not a fan bootcut and frankly 70% of people now days wearing skinny jeans are too fat (or too muscular) for that style.

What’s up with the young lads in the trackies with two hands down the front of the pants? Do they think that’s normal or are they just trying to keep the tackle warm?

Maybe they keep stuff down there. Trackie pockets are ****e for keeping things in :pac:

Not just Megadeth, I wen't to school full of metal heads and this look was the height of sophistication. I thought it was sexy as hell.

Anyway surely skinny jeans are a bit dated now. The cool crowd moved on.

Again, big difference between skinny jeans and just merely tight jeans, which metal heads wore (and wear).

As for 'moving on', here's Dave Mustaine just last year and he's still rocking tight jeans:

Skinny jeans (or Jeggings) are a different animal entirely, they look ridiculous (to me at least):

meeeeh · 10-04-2019 10:50am

Skinny Jeans are not necessarily jeggings. Jeggings usually have higher elastane content and are softer/thinner.

There's nothing to say long socks and shorts won't become a thing again, maybe the 1950s schoolboy look will be all the rage in 2040 or Lederhosen.

Getting there anyway.

If you cut the ankles off your socks with a scissors, then it allows the blood to flow out of your legs, so they deflate.
Thus allowing you to wear the skinny jeans. It all makes perfect sense.

The white shoes are to show that you don't need to work. A bit like having long fingernails, or a very pale skin complexion, which were fashionable during the medieval period.

Never understood the appeal of the runners, or shoes in general tbh. I don't own a pair of either.

I owned those boots. They are many things but comfy is not how I would describe them. I own high heels which are more comfortable.

They need breaking in allright, but its worth the effort. They're stiffer than Docs initially certainly.

Ah, so you think those are comfortable but runners aren't and you don't see the appeal of them? That just makes me think you are a bit weird or that you have some kind of misshapen feet.
Why do you even need them to go so high up your leg?

Never commented on the comfort or otherwise of runners.

...because they're boots.....?

Just monkey see, monkey do. One knacker started doing it and they all copied him.

Sorry. You said you didn't see the appeal of runners, but found your boots comfortable. I put 2 and 2 together and came up with 5.

So what's not appealing about runners? Most comfortable footwear you can get.

...because they're boots.....?

I just don't get why they need to be that tall. Pain in the ass to lace up and down.
I had a pair of those boots when I was a teenager, but not that tall.
I wear boots all the time but would have my head wrecked with 14 pairs of eyelets.

For some reason I always wanted to wear boots. 10 eyelets never seemed enough, though over 14 would be - I've always thought - excessive. These days I alternate between a pair of solovair ox-blood 14 hole and grinders black 14 hole with the steel toe.
