Well, I am aware of breast cancer, but does that mean that I am helping to stop it. No. But if I try to use that as something to explain my pink shirt, then I am a huge jackass.
Crocs belong only in the kitchen of a restaurant, where they came from!

Anyplace that doesn’t want my business (and my money) based on how much I spent on my clothing is better off without me as a customer. If jeans are appropriate, then what does it matter what brand they are or how much I spent on them (assuming they are clean and fit appropriately)? I assure you that you don’t have to spend $300 for even premium jeans.
If you can spend $300 on a non-essential piece of clothing (example of essential would be a business suit for a lawyer), then I assume your 401K is fully fully funded, you don’t have any debt (consumer or otherwise), and you own a nice home in a decent neighborhood. Otherwise, $300 for one article of fashionable (i.e. will go out of style) clothing is an absurd waste of cash…shit I think I just officially turned into my father.
Good post. Sadly, the people I know who spend the most on clothing with brand names on them are also the LEAST financially secure. Even worse, women are generally dumb enough under the age of 25 to fall for this and judge them strictly by how they are dressed at the moment even though the guy they are speaking to is one missed paycheck away from living on the street.

Truth…my good friend’s ex-girlfriend was like $10,000 in debt at 21 years old (she charged her college tuition to her credit card and didn’t pay it off). But she was “addicted to shopping” so every few days she’d head off with her friends to the mall and pick up some nice new clothes at all the most expensive stores. I have no idea how she had such a massive credit limit at her age, but I shudder to think of how much debt she is in now.
The funny part was when she brought her boyfriend (a big guy, probably 240-250 lbs at the time and 6’2") into abercrombie & fitch with her because she HAD to get him some fancier clothes that weren’t from kohls or JCPenny. He couldn’t fit into anything they had - ended up returning half the stuff she bought for him.
has anyone ever heard of a thing called “Sale”
I buy my jeans for ~50-60 dollars max.
I buy:
True Religion
Deisel
Seven Jeans
nautica Jeans
Tommy Hilfiger
I had a pair of D&Gs for 90 dollars but they were so freaking hot that i had to have them.
etc…

A & F sucks! I hate that store. They have skinny arse people walking around 1/2 naked spraying perfume all over the place…
Have one right out side of my job 
I can’t even fit into regular jeans much less tight jeans. Everything ends up being tight on me because my quads and ass are big. 30 inch waist, 26 inch quads, and ass that would make a black girl jealous do not go well for pants/shorts at normal stores. I have to get almost all of my clothes tailored just to fit. It’s quite a pain in the ass.

Not really. Macking on a chick and using cancer of all things can get ugly fast.

im a 38inch waist, 30inch quad, 19inch calf and a 33inch inside leg. boot cut is tight at the top and then clings at the calfs… regular fit jut looks like im wearing rectangles for clothes.
Baggy all the way these days… unfortunatly.
I wear skinny pants. I either pick up an expensive (60$) pair or go thrift shopping and grab a cheap (3$) pair. The more expensive ones are made out of a comfortable, semi stretchy fabric. The super tight jeans really only fit malnourished skinny guys, but a normal pair of skinny jeans fits well. I bike a lot too and either have to wear skinny jeans or roll up the pant leg so it doesn’t get stuck in my chain. The pants are really just the contemporary wear for my peer group: 20 something artists and musicians.
It really has nothing to do with emo kids, I don’t even know if they really exist any more, you guys seems a little out of touch with your own culture. It used to be cool to wear skinny jeans, then bell bottoms, then pretty baggy jeans, and it’s come full circle again in a slightly modified way… none of this is really important and I’m not all that defensive of skinny jeans most there are certainly plenty of pricks who wear them, but I do get tired of people acting incredibly utilitarian about their clothing. I have a job I like my clothes well priced, but I also care about my appearance and girls like guys who do that.
After getting drinks with some guys from my fighting gym, and doing a lot better with the girls then them, a few of them asked me where they could buy a pair. The jeans might not look that tough, but I know at least a couple guys walking around wearing skinny jeans who I wouldn’t recommend calling a queer.

Yes, but only if your priorities are logical, i.e. debt > 401k > non-essentials.
But there are plenty of folks happy to live in a shit hole apartment, paying 28% on their credit cards, swimming in student loan debt but driving their brand new 2008 325i Bimmers to their 9-5 jobs.
That’s what ‘ghetto fabulous’ is, innit?
And if you PC PoPo want to frisk me, ya better have a warrant, pigs! (unless they are the T-Vixen division)

agreed, i paid $250 ONCE for a pair of jeans, there nice and material feels good and i’ll never spend that much again on jeans, nothing wrong with a pair of levi’s that aren’t skin tight, i’d rather spend money on new shoes(seems like im starting to collect air forces and jordans) and good food. i dont spend more than $40 on a tshirt(kinda cheap in australia most t-shirts retail around 50-60) thanks to a great aus to us exchange rate t shirts that cost here 80 i get for 40 and most people have never seen the clothes i wear(last few t shirt’s i’ve gotten are sean john and it hasnt been available in retail stores for 5+ years)
also how do you guys feel when you buy a brand name to see a rip off version for a tenth of the price a week later? i paid a lot of money for a bape jacket last year a month later at the local market saw the same jacket for $20, not happy

Yikes.
Thinking that a “man” who wears skin-tight jeans is ridiculous is not ego-driven or “utilitarian”. It’s a simple fact, it just looks horrific. Kind of like if I wore a big pink spandex bodysuit with purple polka-dots. It’s roughly just as manly.
A girl that prefers a guy in skinny jeans, and picks him based primarily on the fact that he’s wearing them, is not the kind of girl I would want to spend time with.
If you have any reasonable amount of musculature to your legs, there is no fucking way you can fit in any type of “skinny” or “slim-fit” jeans. I doubt I could get such jeans past my knees. Most guys commenting about this are often too large through the quads to even be accommodated by “loose” fitting jeans.
In any case, I prefer not to have my testicles strangled by denim.

Here in DC the young black kids all dress like pharrel with a david beckham hairdo. It’s totally gay. Of course the white kids around georgetown are even greater fags with their popped collar pink polos and vineyard vines pants.
The white kids over here are the same.
About half of the African kids here dress, walk and talk like they are doing an exaggerated parody of black American stereotypes.
Black American culture is (or was) the coolest thing on the entire planet. It’s slightly ironic that the kids around here now wear COOGI which is from OZ.

coogi’s are for fags too
