White runners and skinny jeans

Slim fit and air Max trainers that what I wear, skinny isn't made for a mans frame.

No general trend it just looks better. If you're wearing regular socks with shorts you kinda look ridiculous.

An opinion based on what is a general fashion trend. There's nothing to say long socks and shorts won't become a thing again, maybe the 1950s schoolboy look will be all the rage in 2040 or Lederhosen. There aren't any rules, just look at shoulder pads in the 80s for something that we laugh about now. Maybe we'll all go back to wearing an onion on our belt.

The number of threads whinging about young lads wearing skinny jeans and pop socks/no socks, is genuinely fascinating.

The time old boys have to give out about young lads who are doing nothing wrong except wearing a fashion that old boys don't like, is amazing.

It's not confined to fashion though, it's change in general that a lot of them have a problem with. I'm sure there are plenty of older men who get upset at the idea of grown adults watching fantasy and sci-fi on TV instead of war movies and football.

Young lads are becoming more effeminate. It’s equality innit.

When I see those lads I just think 'gay'.

Are there any hard rules about what is masculine and feminine though? I'm sure that's an ever-shifting landscape.

The white runners accentuate the fake tanned ankles.

It's really not that hard to understand its a fashion trend and every epoch has their own.

You really need that explained to you!

Whatever about skinny jeans, but I laugh when I see young lads wearing skinny tracksuit bottoms!

I can't really comment though. I used to wear doc martens, long flowery dresses and the wrong shade of Constance Carroll makeup back in the 90's

What are they? There was some 15th century fashion in an earlier post, shall we start there? What about men wearing wigs and makeup in the 1700s?

Just wondering what the deal is with this trend.
Why are skinny jeans fashionable for men.
And those white runners/vans/sneakers.
Why.

Genuinely don't get it.
And guys with ankles showing with either no socks or tiny white ankle socks.
Again why.

Each to their own etc but it immediately says something to me about that person.

Also, nose rings on women.

Some really interesting psychology there

As a woman in my 30s, the skinny jeans/no socks look is just an indicator that a man is too young for me!!!!

They look grand on people of a certain age.

Thats very ageist no wonder you are single.

In 30 years time the 80’s with the mullets and shoulder pads will look like the pinnacle of human achievement compared to bow.

Not something I’d wear myself but think it looks cool in certain guys .

Gawd, we get it. You lads are massive beefcakes. Your legs are so muscly they wouldn't fit in the skinny boy jeans let alone your massive micky.

These threads are always cringy to watch. People who don't follow a fashion thinking it's clever to whinge about people who do.

Did your Dad laugh you out of the room for wearing your girly jeans?

They never were a thing in the first place, not for a grown man anyways and any lad that has worn reg socks with shorts always has looked awkward.

And you could say the same thing for lads wearing socks with sandals; that's a time honored no no simply because you'd look ridiculous.

Fashion is subjective at the end of the day, so people can and should wear what they want, I may think you look silly but if you think you look the biz fair play and more power to you.

I haven't had to worry about my masculinity since I was a teenager.

It's silly when young people play the fashion police. It's sad when old boys who ought to know better do it.

More observable ball-sacks?

Those jeans are so tight there's no room for Jesus. How do they even walk, let alone sit down in comfort?

The second pic are baggy compared to them.

There's no room for Jesus when you're playing the devil's music.

I remember reading something funny about Judas Priest one time. They used to wear jeans so tight during the 80's that they needed help getting on stage.

I just don't understand how they could function in what must have been very uncomfortable clothing.

The look is pure 80's/90's though, huge hair, high-top prison white sneakers, and jeans so tight they probably had to lie flat to do the zip up. It obviously takes a great deal of effort and thought to look like you don't care what you look like.

skin tight jeans on blokes look utterly ridiculous on a grand scale, a fashion horror show

Lads when you buy your jeans in the girls section does it not make you take a moment to think "what the fcuk am I doing"?
Bonus points for the 2 knees torn out of them. I said to my nephew a while back....
Me : Did you buy the jeans like that, with the 2 knees torn out of them?
Him : Yeah, sure that's the fashion
Me : Would you buy a jacket with the sleeves all torn and frayed?
Him : No, sure why would I do that?

Maybe it's just me getting old.

looksee

What's the suggestion that only young people can critique fashion about?

And I didn't like the tight tight pants the first time round when the mods wore them. Well first time round for me anyway. Bring back the flares with the patterned inserts, and big hair.

Eircom_Sucks

People who wear them jeans and trainers are geordie shore wannabe’s , i know 5 guys like this personally , each of them share clothes , use eye liner to darken their eyebrows and sideburns and ghd their hair ffs , and flourescent white teeth that glow in the dark , wouldnt be surprised if they bumming each other , to look at your gaydar would be off the scale

Each to their own tho

It's like those big glasses that I used to wear back in 1990 as a 12 year old kid that were FUCKING HORRENDOUS!!
and now all the young people are wearing them !

Skinny or slim with the stretch denim are actually the most comfortable of any jeans.

I look smart but I could still head kick a mofo if needed...

Why? I bought them in the mens section in Penneys. I need the stretch for my oversized genitalia. Plus the wife seems to like them.

Not just Megadeth, I wen't to school full of metal heads and this look was the height of sophistication. I thought it was sexy as hell.

Anyway surely skinny jeans are a bit dated now. The cool crowd moved on.
