I don't stand up tall all the time indeed. Also recognize what you're saying about the Jump Around dance... It's just awkward.Could also just be tall-person syndrome; namely that a lot of people over 6' try to make themselves look shorter because they feel awkward. I always felt pretty uncomfortable doing the "Jump Around" dance at awesome middle school cafeteria dances because I was practically jumping over people's shoulders.
i like that fit though, and if the guy did a teensy bit of work with weights and posture that sweater tee would probably become incredibly flattering. Jean wash is cool, but I think I'll always hate that nudie pocket stitching. At least it's kind of washed out.

About the T/posture: this T is probably the most unforgiving piece to my current build I have... Because of the bottom edge which is made of stretch material and the type of cotton the shirt is made of. My build isn't that terrible, with a little training of my upper back and by just standing up tall most can be fixed. I do have a small form of a form of anterior pelvic tilt though and gonna be working on that from now a bit and more intensively when I'll be going to the gym next academic year.
About the posture: I don't really fitness at the moment... I do have a subscription, but while playing basketball 3-4 times a week I just didn't feel like going to the fitness centre next to that. Didn't really have time for it (internship) and I don't really like going on my own. Next academic year (when I'm going to study again) I will be going to fitness a lot more with a good friend of mine. Will probably quit basketball (at a competitive level).
About the nudies: I just started checking out styleforum (october last year) and all the jeans I owned before this were Levi's 504 (511/513 doesn't go upto 36), Nudies and Boss Orange. Selling out the Levi's and Boss Orange ones at the moment since I don't like the fit of those anymore. Keeping the Nudies since I still love the fit of Slim Jim/Thinn Finn. I realize on these light jeans the orange stitching is way too much. I also own pairs of all black and grey Nudies (which I still wear A LOT) and on those the pocket stitching is in black.
This.Being super tall can be really agitating when you have to look down to speak or listen to people. It's like, "****, quit forcing me into bad posture because of your shortness."
And yeah, the fit is totally fine—it's just tough to wear something so unforgiving of one's posture/fitness. The Dazed-and-Confused-wash jean looks particularly cool as well.
They are BBall high CP's... They fit real narrow, but do fit a bit larger than your average CP. That's why I've got these in size 45. My normal CP size is 46. I feel you on the designer baller footwear.... Only baller sneakers I own are CP's. KvA/Ann/MMM etc. don't make size 46 if I'm correct and even then I probably would need a size 47 in those brands.What size are your CP's? My shoe size is US 14-15 and I'm trying to get into the designer baller foot wear, but not too many options out there
Glad with all your comments and at least now I know these jeans deserve some more wear.
