I think a know what you are talking about. Are those the white jeans or the silvery jeans with red and blue details?

Dior Homme also have got a washed model with silver "effects". I really like these:

For me you really have to dress the remainder of your look down. If everything is on par with the jeans in the "flash" department you'll be heading into "MEGA-DOUCHE" territory.
I've worn the RAF's with beat up white chucks and a black v-neck, definately low key items.

I would find metallic jeans very, very hard to pull off. Especially without getting beat up.

I've tried on the diors with the metallic finish. It actually turned out ok, not too flashy at all, but I do miss the ol' hook clasp instead of the new metal button.

Some people might pull it off... but the fad is already fading, you better hurry up before we reach the expiry date.

I saw a woman at a department store awhile a few months ago wearing bright silver jeans, and buying a pair of matching gold jeans (they looked like tin foil.) Overall she looked ridiculous, but her ass was off the chain.

I got my gf a pair of metallic finish Galliano jeans last summer. I think Chevignon has gold and silvery coated jeans this season, but those are harder to pull off imo.
