flared jeans

[2]

i cannot express how much hatred i have towards this "fad"/style. it should have died with bell bottoms. Women if you need to wear bootcut jeans fine. I'm talking about us men here. It doesn't mean you are more manly or more in touch with your feminine side if you wear boot cut jeans. why wear clothing that doesn't fit the shape of your body, it boggles my mind why people would want that extra fabric flapping around down there. besides that it looks terrible. a slight bootcut makes sense for its original purpose...being able to fit a boot under the jean, anything beyond that is terrible. I thought i would just come out and say it here. I hate that peoples fashion senses are so horrible that they must fall into this trend. Men wearing seven and true religion jeans is an truly appalling sight, wear things that fit the shape of your body. sorry if this was extreme but it had to be said. is the new thing for men to start looking like women? lets just wear straight or tapered jeans and be happy, whether they be distressed or dry or on there way to being distressed lets please let them fit our legs and not look stupid. thank you for your time in reading this.

Haha!

First post. First Rant!

I agree though if it makes you feel any better. The only thing worse than that are dudes wearing flared women jeans. Harsh.

i think man wearing flair jeans are fine, why do you have so much rage about it? every 1 has their own unique style, when u ask guys to wear jeans the way you want, is like republican wants to illegalize gay rights...

[Serge d Nimes]

WOW! That is harsh! Don't publicly ridicule me if I come strolling by in my big E 646's!

its not like that actually, that is an unfair analogy. would you wear a shirt that for some reason flared out in the middle? i would think not, it would look strange, and not very flattering... and this is exactly what im saying about flared jeans. and to serge... i wont publicly ridicule you.. but if the flare is very noticeable i may cringe on the inside.

[Serge d Nimes]

Let the cringing begin!

And another thing, why do people wear shoes with laces in this age of velcro and slip ons? And what's the deal with collars on shirts, who needs that kind of pointless decoration?

[adsurgo]

i like collared shirts because i like to leave it open. airs me out.

[Yakboy Equals Nurturer]

Uh...that was kind of supposed to be a joke.

[adsurgo]

ahahah. o word.

serge, those look good on you.

[heartsandcrafts]

yeah those look nice

but theres that other type of boot cut, a like modern mens boot cut where the jeans are too loose and then they still have a boot cut, even worse a fitted ass, the kind you see on 30 somethings trying to get 20 something girls

Nudie RR are bootcut. Most people like those.

fast cars. The rest I just squandered - George Best

Nudie RR technically is a bootcut, but it works. It definitely isnt flapping around etc.

[TrappedInDC]

I love my Nudie RRs but I also like my Diesel Zathans... was just wishing for something along the lines of a Dry Zathan, if something like that exists? Taking a hint from the 517 thread last week, I tried on a pair of 517s but the rise was too high. 527s are lower rise, I think thats the number, but they don't come dry. Any Suggestions?

Serge, what are those jeans you're wearing?

[doom]

flares are just plain ugly! what is the practical reason for flares?

the eclipse is nigh

[whynotmakeboth]

I used to only wear straight legs but recently got a pair of bootcut jeans. If you like it and it looks good, wear it.

Are those Marc Jacobs test patterns? I couldn't tell under those bell bottoms...

Just giving you a hard time Serge!

"Practical reason"?

How much of fashion is "practical" ? Not very much.

nice marc jacob vans serge.

I also like the 646's. When are they repros or the real deal big E's?Ifs so where they rigid? I'd love to get a hold on pair of those.

[Serge d Nimes]

These ones are the LVC "Beat-Up" from last year. There were some deadstock ones last season but I wouldn't wear them enough to break them in. I also have a pair of real Big E 646's but they are too small for me.

Thanks for the comments on the test patterns. I got them at American Rag in SF and thought I should buy a bunch to put on ebay. I looked them up and they were going for ~ retail ($100). Then a couple of months ago I saw them going for $300+. I should have snapped them up!
