It's not cool when guys wear tight pants

I know this blog is supposed to be about all the silly nuiances of living in North Jersey but I'd really like to take a minute and talk about that strange phenomenon that has come over the world called "the skinny jean."


Girls pull this look off quite nicely because it flatters their body shape which is already narrow (in most cases...ok in some cases...ok it's really not the norm anymore but I'll leave that for another blog). Guys on the other hand shove themselves into these tight jeans that are literally out of the girl's section, look like a potato, have everything muffin topping out, and we're supposed to swoon...I don't think so.


This all come from a trip to the Garden State Plaza Mike and I took last night. It's a huge mall with just about every store you can imagine. While we were walking around I noticed alot of this:





This guy looks like he can hardly move let alone "skate" which is where these jeans came from in the first place. It looks like the first move he makes is going rip a giant hole in the crotch; and I don't see how he can shove underwear under those things.

My point is this. It's not cool when guys dress like girls. It's not cool when guys buy their jeans from the girl's side. I know the Jonas Brothers might be doing it, but they aren't cool either. So guys start shopping on your own side of American Eagle, The Gap, Pac Sun, Zumiez, or wherever the hell you shop.

  1. this is by far the ugliest fashion trend ever to go down. it's disgusting when a style that takes away from a man's masculinity becomes socially acceptable and embraced by the male gender - it's a red light of: "i'm not secure with my masculinity"... a reflection of the morphing male of our culture: gone from the buff guy to the skinny, emotional, tight-panted wimps. grow some junk! jk.

  2. Remember when we filmed that video for Chemistry, and we walked into Zumiez and had the guy behind the counter pretend to kick us out? :) I wonder where that video went.

  5. I totally don't understand why a guy would want to wear such tight pants. It's so gross and unattractive. And all the guys I've seen wearing these ridiculous pants still wear them hanging off their ass. What the hell?! Shouldn't guys look like guys? Apparently not.
