Got talked into buying some skinny jeans

[CFH]

People should never follow fashion trends as it is only ever going to make people laugh at you down the line. One should always try to look smart, but effortlessly timeless. And that goes for clothing, hair, everything.

Nobody could ever look at me and say look at that ninny in the skinny jeans or look at that plonker with a mullet.

Sure they could say 'look at that raving nutter who dresses respectably', but nobody is ever going to say that I dress like a nutter.

I think Mick looks pretty cool. The jeans I got are like those, not really skinny, but a very slim fit. It's hard to bend in them and I wore them out Saturday night with a pair of boots so probably not the best look. My mates ripped the piss out of me and kept asking me if I'd just got off a horse which demoralised me and took all my confidence away.

Consequently I resovled to wash them and take them back this week.

Since however, I have tried on all my other jeans and they all look weird to me now. I really like the look of these skinny jeans looking down at them, I put a pair of white/blue Adidas Nastase trainers and I think they go pretty well.

I might buy a pair of white Converse All Stars and wear them with that, or maybe black trainers like Mick has. I like a bit of colour though to break the black up.

Still I think I am going to keep them now. Fuck the haters.

If you like the way they look then keep them. Who gives a fuck what your asshole friends, or any of us assholes on here, think?

Personally, I think they look very silly and very fad-ish, but that's just my opinion.

I'm not having a go at anyone with my post, but just saying that I shall never succumb to the airy whims of fashion. I like a nice pair of jeans like any man, but you need space for your balls. I have no desire to father, but walking around with crushed testicles can't be too pleasant. And not being able to bend is a serious sign that things are wrong.

The only skinny things I wear are the ties as I look alright with a thin tie. It's never going to look particularly tragic. Not unless I decide to put it around the neck of someone who gets in my way on the footpath.

Check out this link and watch the video.

Mine are I guess like that pretty much. It looks like he's wearing a pair of white converse. I actually like this look, especially wearing them looking down it looks pretty cool I think.

I wore them out dressed up with boots and a grey chambray shirt, I'm not sure I felt comfortable in that.

But with white converse' and a t shirt I think it looks pretty good.

I find only certain people can pull off the skinny jean. I don't wear them but I do think they look ridiculous especially when they have the crotch area just above the knee.

Micks jeans look pretty normal and I wouldnt' call them skinny jeans just a straight leg.

I'm eally torn on this. I have to aay I really like the look of slim jeans paired with white converse, I think it looks really good for walking around town in.

I also think I sort them ok. I'm only short, which might be bad, but I am pretty skinny, only 10 stone and they give my legs decent shape I think, although they are very tight compared to what I normally wear.

I think I look young enough to get away with it, but I don't know if I should be trying to dress older, even though I don't feel comfortable at all with the way you are supposed to dress past 30. I have never tucked in a shirt for example, I feel ridiculous like it and I feel like I am most comfortable in young looking clothes, just don't know if I should give these a miss.

the fact they give your legs a decent shape as you say is enough to not wear them.
what are people over 30 supposed to dress like anyway? I wear Jeans, t-shirt, hoodie or jacket what else is needed

If you like the way you look, why not give it a shot? Unless they were $300 jeans and you're not going to be able to pay the rent if you don't return them, what is the harm?

I went through Sears yesterday and noticed they are pushing some of the pre torn and faded jeans too I honestly don't get that at all. Where's the effort with the youth!? I sprung for a pair of new button fly which I haven't worn in bookoo years. Fuckers are comfy!
