Also, after spending 4 years far away from Europe, it just blows my mind a little bit because nobody dresses like that here - not a single person, despite of age or nationality, so it probably looks even more ridiculous to me than you can imagine, haha. Indeed... Where you’ve been inhabiting over the recent past has surely cleared your mind off of all the meaningless rubbish we’re conditioned to think in the West. It’s obviously giving you the correct direction in how you view and appreciate otherly things that in reality have absolutely no importance. But... And it’s an important but. In the West you have to appreciate the fact that life runs at a different rate and thought process. A process that isn’t about to be changed radically no matter how much some intellectuals think it’s possible. Aside from all of that, it is the clear mind in a case such as yours and even others where a contaminated one feeds us almost identical information gives us an answer that when looked upon and then observed in the sense of a continuance, we find the whole thing strangely off putting. It’s obvious that looks terrible aesthetically, but even understanding and accepting that, you will then get people with bodies that aren’t as gracefully (narcissism) manipulated falling into the trap and wearing something that from the obscene we arrive at the abhorrent.

To be fair, having spent most of my formative years growing up in a post-Soviet country, I've already been conditioned to think differently than the same generation in the West. That said, every decade and every culture has gone through some silly fashion trends that looked completely ridiculous, so this is not something completely new...

Machado 1,710 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 The arcticle seems to suggest that this is a British problem but this nonsense is going on everywhere. Awful. Never got a pair but do they come with an arm tattoo and an undercut? It does look like it over here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick 2,271 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Those jeans are 'super skinny to be fair. Normal skinny jeans are just a little bit tighter than the slim fit. I wear skinny jeans but they are never tight against my legs. I hate baggy jeans cause you just look either like a trollop or some old dad with no style....balon. These are the 'skinny' jeans I'll wear. I don't think there's anything wrong with the fit on them. https://m.asos.com/asos/asos-plus-stretch-slim-jeans-in-dark-wash-blue/prd/8779973?CTARef=Saved Items Image I just realised those jeans say slim haha, but the skinny ones I have are the exact same.

Each brand seems to have their own take on “skinny” (without going into the absurd realms of super skinny). For example I have three pairs of Clavin Klein skinny jeans and they’re not stuck to the leg as you call it. The ones you’ve shown an example of most brands call “tapered jeans” which is a carrot style narrow in the calf region and widening slightly as you go toward the hip area. These are the latest I’ve bought by Replay Jeans and they’re straight legged jeans which you’ll appreciate they’re not baggy at all. https://m.replayjeans.com/gb/shop/product/jeans/jeans-slim/grover-made-in-italy-straight-fit-jeans/pc/20/c/25/6129 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a Twitter account dedicated to rinsing it haha. Super skinny jeans are shocking like, as well as the whole no socks and a pair of pathetic as fuck sandal things. Boot cuts are worse though I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s like everything to do with fashion because it goes in cycles and then when something else is ingrained in our phsyche we can’t imagine ourselves wearing it. I remember 80s fashion very well and during the 90s and start of the 2000s the same was said in terms of “no way would I ever wear that even dead”. Well now it’s coming back and there are already various 80s retro styles people are wearing and more so this summer. So it’s only natural that boot cut jeans will return at some point! There’s another detail to add on boot cut jeans because from there 70s flairs on jeans came back for a few years and that was a big bet by the fashion industry.

You know... I've always wanted to own a tweed blazer. Just haven't found the one that goes with how I feel because believe it or not, Ive got quite a rugged character and prefer dirty jeans and a white t-shirt.

Aye you're right about fashion going round in loops. I'm not arsed about following fashion etc, although I do admit that i wouldn't wear certain clothing brands because of their reputation. I just can't see boot cuts being acceptable to modern generations. They're not exactly ridiculed by older generations but if any of my mates wore them they would be rinsed. It's pathetic like but it's funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone would be rinsed for wearing them without boots...if you were big Timberlands for example then they wouldn't look as bad...if you wore a pair of Adidas trainers then your night is going to be very bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even a latin american like me notice the difference. Granted it´s a very small sample size, but I´ve found curious how in Brazil or in Latin America for that matter compared to Europe there is a much clearer difference in the way both genders dresses.
