odd jeans question

hi im rob, live in the UK, i wear mostly jeans and love mens fasion.

i have seen alot of guys wearing jeans where you can see the belt, and it really makes the outfit complete, but for some reason i cant get that look!

is there special types of jeans that are sold for this purpose? i.e so the belt can be seen/shown off?

or are these guys merley wearing their jeans really low down?
see, if they are wearing them low down then surley the crotch would look baggy and lame? or is there jeans you can get that dont have a long crotch so you can see the belt wearing them low?

ideal would be a nice top, then you can see a nice belt, then on to the jeans, but for me i just have the top then straight onto the jeans, no T or shirts are short enough to show of a belt, nor are any jeans i have bought low enough to show a belt.
ive not bought many jeans in the past, so maybe some have a short crotch/fly area that allows a belt to be seen, if this is true then i would very much appreicate to know!

probably a odd question but ive been wondering about it, and dont have the guts to ask the guys themselvs lol!

thanks
rob

uh, no i dont mean with your shirt tucked in, these guys have their T's and shirts out but the belt is visble.

tucking your shirt in is obvious but not what im on about

i think you answered your own question...? you either wear a short shirt or wear your jeans low or tuck, the way peoples eyes work doesnt allow for many other possibilities to show off your belt. either your upper torso is too short or you dont know about "low-rise jeans"?

low rise jeans? i dont know of them, they might be what im on about!

im a tall guy with a long torso so my tops aren't short, but my jeans are usualy to 'tall' to show of a belt if you get what im saying

as mentioned if i wore my own pairs lower to show of a belt the crotch area would be to baggy to walk properly and would look a bit lame

but these low rise jeans may be the answer if i can learn more about them, generlay i dont know much about jeans so thus the questions, as i asked in the original question if there is such a type of special jean where the whole area between the legs and the belt area is smaller than other jeans (to show a belt easily) so maybe thats what these low rise jeans are

thanks for being patient with me, sorry its a bit confusing! if anyway can tell me more about them?
rob

p.s i just did a google search and a pic of zac efron wearing what im on about came up, thats the look im after, so you can see the belt, when i next go shopping will the jeans be labbled 'low rise'?

thanks, yeah i had a good read of that, thanks very much

im geussing it will actualy say on the label wether its low rise?
only one way to find out!
before i would but alot of stuff without trying it on, be unhappy with it and not bother to return it, now i try everything on before i buy, so make sure it fits right so i will be doing this with jeans to get that low down look im after to show a belt of nicley
