I think I'll probably just get some suede bucks to be different. I like the way they look too.

that works too but you run a much higher risk of looking dorky and affected when wearing shorts, which I think you wear but I'm not sure

if you get suede bucks just make sure they're not mega brogued it'll help you avoid looking affected.

t_s, I haven' t worn shorts yet this season and if I were I think I would be fine pairing them with sneakers and i'd have to try real hard to look dorky compared to the kids I go to school with

ok then go wild man, they're cute little shoes and would polish off what you wear / what I imagine you would like to wear

seriously, honestly thinking about selling all my sneakers and wearing boots of different variations.

although, probably buying a new pair of jeans would help alleviate my sneaker game. i just don't find pants+sneakers all that attractive

anyone here just own pants only and no jeans? or at least rarely or never wear there jeans anymore. i know there are a few. i kind of just want to pick up a pair of APC PS and call it a day with that, but then i would rather cash out and buy some more pants+boots/shoes

[puts hand up]

i have some jeans but rarely wear them. maybe if they had a higher rise and more room in the thigh i would. so sick of slim straight. may buy some LVC or something.

i wear my pants with sneakers (CPs). boots or shoes are better, but i still chuck sneakers on occasionally.

Pretty much.

I think its a matter of location. You live in the north east right? I can see how that would be the case in new england with all the preps (the south as well), but IME its not the case elsewhere. The midwest douche wears different ****...

Mellowfellow almost never wears jeans. He occasionally post fits with white/offwhite jeans and I think has posted a grand total of 1 fit with regular indigo jeans

+1. Rarely wear lows (I have one pair of GATs that sees occasional wear), and I have zero pairs of non-sneaker shoes. I prefer hi-tops or boots with fairly narrow-hemmed denim.

^ To clarify, I have several pairs of boots. Just no, you know, shoes.

My first pair of jeans was apc NS. I have a pair of new cure that I haven't worn in years. I find pants to be more comfortable.
