You just gotta rock it.


Your style definitely has a unique flare to it (no pun intended), though, and to be honest isn't really consistent with the aesthetic of current trends. Keep rocking it, though.

Ogg no trendy?

Ogg sad...

Ogg smash skinny *****!

Yeah, you have a point, now that I think about it. Most skinny dudes wearing baggy jeans often end up looking a bit silly.

Just be glad there are no pics from high school when I actually wore Raver pants and MC hammer pants to a pair of dances...!

Isn't that the latest trends in clothing?
Clothing seems to now leave the average size, and expand to extra smaller sizes and extra larger sizes.

I guess "average" is now pretty dynamic, not static.

Isn't the general (and of course there are exceptions) rule that bigger guys should wear straight leg or boot cut, and slimmer guys wear skinny/tapered?
I'm not the guy from a couple days ago Drizzt referred to, nor am I Augusto

, but I share the opinion that skinny guys need not (and in some cases should not) wear skinny jeans. I prefer not to have my clothing highlight my chicken legs, personally. An ordinary straight cut in the proper waist size works fine for me. In my opinion a "tight" (but not skin-tight) fitting jean typically looks best on guys with muscular legs that naturally fill out straight-cut jeans in the correct waist size.
