style: rolled up jeans, mens capris?

smoothy504ny · Feb 12, 2008

not sure whether this look can be pulled off by men; the look is achieved by rolling up the legs of the jeans:

what do you think aobut this style and do either of these men pull it off? how would you wear this look and with what?

Again? Sheeeeze.

Love the style. Please wear it tomorrow and post in the WAYWN thread.

there's something mannequin-like about that girl on top. As if she were his real-doll that he dressed and propped up.

oh yea about this look....not a fan of the 2 guys in the pics.

I actually think it can look ok if you roll them halfway from ankle to knee. Maybe with a pair of short boots or some kind of seriously sick trainers. (not converse)

helps if you're covered in tattoos too.

I saw a guy with the rolled up jeans (nudies) at Secret Service the other day and I remember taking some mental notes on him, that it looked really good on that particular fellow. He was fairly tall and had an overall cool vibe to him. made the manpri jeans work.

i think it looks better on the first guy... if you have the calves to wear slim/designer shorts it shouldn't be a problem. the beneath guy seems to be trying it with a pair of skinny jeans, and his lower half ends up looking like my ex-girlfriend.

Wasn't that just you in a mirror?

I like the look. I'm not sure many can pull it off, though.

I will be working extra hard on my calves at the gym thinking of this look. Does anyway reccomend any specific pairs of jeans to make this look work?

stickonatree · Feb 12, 2008

it just makes them look like bikers. something i see everyday at my university campus in seattle, so i guess i'm OK with them.

**** looks terrible

Style-wise, it's a nay for me. I'd rather wear real Capri pants or cropped cuffed jeans if that's the look I'm going for. I have to dig deep in my closet but I know I have a pair of stripped issey miyake capri pants. Very well designed.

ha! I think that may have been me this Saturday at Secret Service. you were leaving just as I arrived.

though to be honest, my nudies were rolled up because I had just cycled from Highland Park. the manpri exists in my world only when my trusty steed is nearby.

^watch out he may try to make a pass next time, lord knows he did with me and now I'm tainted

Actually rolled, not folded, and with some kind of low top shoes (Sperry boat shoes, purcells, etc.) and in the appropriate setting (beach, boat, dock, etc.) can look fantastic.

2sweet · Feb 12, 2008

Absolutely Terrible.

Not really a fan. I think it could possibly work if you had the calves for it, but I don't think most guys do. Even then it tends to come off as sort of tryhard. The dude in the first pic who it sort of works for would probably have looked just as good or better if he just wore them normal.
