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.
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.[/quote]
I have to wear bigger football pants that half the lineman on my team, and I am a Linebacker. I have small legs compared to all of you, but I am starting to experience the jeans problems. I have now started wearing a 34 waist though. Thank God for belts.

Oh come on, it’s a little weak infer that i’m not a man because i where skinny jeans and you might think it looks horrific, but enough other people disagree. Your opinion is not fact. It definitely matters which social rings you’re in, I’d wager that the type of people you hang out with and their professions differ from me. To that same point there are plenty of tough and masculine characters out there where skinny jeans. We wear them a bit different from the original poster’s picture, not as tight or douchey, but still.
I’m not saying that a girl would prefer me just because I’m wearing the jeans, but girls seem to prefer the type of characters who sometimes where skinny jeans. That might be a bitter pill, but hell “selection within a species is always going to be more important than selection between the species”.
You’ve never tried on the type of jeans we’re talking about, I used to have decent thighs, and I’ve seen guys with big wheels wear them. The cut is different. They have more of a taper from the top to the bottom, where normal jeans generally get tighter at the knee and wider at hips and calves. They are also usually made out of semi-elastic material, so they stretch well and have plenty of crotch room. I feel much more comfortable in them then in an average pair of pants from a store like american eagle or a basic pair of levi’s.
The 2 things I love having the best/costiest of? Shoes and watches. I had $300 jordans before, and currently wear a $4000 rolex. I wouldnt spend much on anything that are not shoes or watches.
Why the fuck did you waste your money on a $4,000 rolex. Youre 14, shit, if I had $4,000 Id buy a new fucking computer, or some games. Why on EARTH do you need a $4,000 watch unless you have money falling out of your ears.
i think the jeans are kinda dumb but if someone guaranteed me that they would bring me some HOT snatch id be werin them you bet your ass. thats the whole reason i started lifting, you mean all i have to wear is these ghey pants?

I don’t wear the shit and think it looks gay, but i caught one of my friends wearing it and he said “the pink is for cancer awareness”.
I thought that was cool.
Well that’s good. I had no awareness of cancer until I saw pink shirts.
WTF is “cancer”?[/quote]
If you or anyone else is unaware of cancer, please look at the picture for a few moments.

Personally, I don’t like skinny jeans but i don’t give a damn about the emos wearin damn. be happy with your tight pants for 300 bucks. if i had the money, maybe i would spend as much money on jeans but there’s one thing i just don’t understand: why do people spend money on something that’s not very important in my opinion but don’t care about what food they consume even though they look like shit?

I was going to add that in there, but I already have one. If I didnt that wouldve been first on the list.
Huh… There’s two issues here, really. It seems to me that people are ripping on this type of look, AS WELL AS expensive clothing items.
I just wanna say that I enjoy good/rare clothes and don’t mind shelling out extra dough for them. I spent about over 300$ on jeans some time ago: good cotton, good construction. I’m prepared to spend more money on even better jeans (I view prps as above average, but there’s better). And why not? They last long, feel good, look good, etc. I’m a sucker for quality denim and leather. I don’t see why someone should be bashed just for spending money on clothes. I’d rather have one good item than 3 sub-par ones.
However, the look in the opening post is sad and ridiculous. What the fuck. I mean, certain fashion trends look good on models, but not on your average person; this shit wouldn’t look good on anyone.

Well, I don’t have one, but my dad is giving me his old car. It’s a '87 Honda. A stick shift too. I am glad I don’t need to buy a car.

I’m not at all bashing anyone for spending whatever the hell they want on clothes (unless they can’t afford said clothes, and are just contributing to the credit debt crisis). If you can afford them, knock yourself out, I appreciate you stimulating the economy.
My gripe with $300 jeans is that, well, that’s just a ridiculous price. We’re not talking about a fine material like leather, suede, or cashmere. We’re talking about a pair of denim jeans that are not THAT much different from the $40 pair at American Eagle/GAP/wherever.
The difference between a $20k Hyundai and a $40k Lexus is drastic, and that’s only a 2x/price difference. The difference between the jeans in question is minimal, and that’s over a 7x/price difference.
Whatever though, I can understand liking nice things. However, if I were going to go the route of spending more for increased quality/luxury, I would spend it on cars, televisions, shoes, and food.
The skinny jeans topic shouldn’t even be debated. You couldn’t even pay ME $300 to wear those.
I can hardly even get boot cut and loose fit around my quads half the time. For me Regular Jeans = skinny jeans, skinny jeans = childrens clothes, baggy jeans = normal jeans.
Id spend $100 on jeans if they actually fit me correctly (ie oversized quads without a 40 inch waist). If tried on some jeans that actually, are to tight in my calfs, not cool.
I dress like a bum 99% of the time anyways. Old loose shorts and a xxl t-shirt + nike frees and im good to go.

Why not just go up a couple of sizes? The cut of the pants shouldn’t dictate the size. Again, i think the right size skinny jeans fits great. My waist to thigh ratio never matches an orthodox cut of jeans, but with skinny jeans i go up a few sizes and the elasticity of the pants works well with my thighs and also allows for a decent fit at the waist.
LOL i was expecting the responces on the rolex, it was a gift from my dad when he got back from dubai on a buissness trip. I didnt really ASK for it, he got it for me. As far as i know when i get my licence im getting a car too, so no worries
