Am I Crazy? Pants Questions

Post by J-MoNeY »

Me and this girl I met up at my old college had this thing which I will be forever connected to her for. She called it "pant-shoe-action". It's where the pants go over the shoe, not to bunch up or look tacky. They just flow over it and stop at the bottom of the shoe. I swear I'm obsessed with this! Every pant I get must flow over my shoes the right way. Weird?

And another one. How does everyone like their pants? I used to think that the stright leg look, not baggy worked for me, but I had issues with compression of sensitive materials :wink: .

I like em just fine thanks, actually i dont like them really baggy but i dont like them skin tight where it looks like it would be hard to move. I find tommy pants to be the most comfortable and well shaped and as for the pants flowing over the shoe, as long as they aren't half way up my shins when i sit down or dragging under my shoes when i walk, it doesnt bother me.

I wear quite a variety. I have a pair of Jnco's (yes, they're like 6 years old and I still wear them :lol: ) with the backs of the legs worn off from walking on them, yet I have plenty of just relaxed jeans that don't come near the bottom of my feet. What I wear depends on where I'm going.

I don't like the ones that are like hip huggers for women. I'm a guy - we don't have hips and no one wants to see my hairy ass (or any other dude's) every time I bend over. Belts are annoying - just leave them at a reasonable height. I don't want chest waders, I just don't need to show everyone my boxers. Women showing thong is fine.

I like my pants to come just below my shoe, and then consequently get wet every time it rains(in washington)

but seriously, yes, because then they look normal when I'm sitting down

I like baggi-er pants, but not so much so that I gotta be tugging on them to keep them out of the rain, as Laurel said.
It's a personal taste, and of course, it has to be tailored (pun intended :wink:) to whatever it is your're doing --hanging with the boys, working on the car, or going on a semi-casual date.
You ARE weird if you're letting some old girlfriend control your style from beyond the emotional grave. Believe me, I know.

I think it's just something that she pointed out to him, and now he notices it all the time.

Cargos to the shoes, unless I'm going to be working on something, then jeans.

I like pants that are close to normal. I have a few baggier pairs and a few tighter pairs. they definitely have to sit right on the pants though. I like em to sort of sit on the tongue of the shoe and hang off the back if that makes any sense... :?

I like quite a variety. My favorites are my lucky brand, although I only get them if they are on sale. I don't like'em too baggy cause the ladies here on campus seem to like it if they "fit" well. I've got some cords and other non jeans. Gap's pants always seem to fit me well. And, of cource, some "hot" pants for special occasions. Last year whenever I wore them, my ex-girlfriend would tackle me and well, you can imagine. :)

I just wear pants. Usually Old Navy, because they are cheap, and I can get them dirty and not worry to much about them.

I usually have them sitting on the waist, baggy in the groin area (gotta let the boys breathe), and relaxed throughout the leg, draping nicely over the shoes. Not covering the entire shoe, but just hanging over the tounge, leaving the laces exposed, but covering the knot. The rear of the pant leg opening sits right at my heel, not underneath, but not to high.

As far as "hot" pants? I don't need pants to make me hot. Just comes with the territory. Probably the car.

im really picky about my pants.

it used to be sutters, dockers baggy or lucky 6 slacks in giant fit. i went to privite schools my whole life so i never wore jeans. whenever my mom bought me jeans they were the really tight shit kicker type so even if i could wear jeans i never did.

now days giant fit pants look a little sloopy to me now. im not exactly the best looking guy around and dont have the best posture so i try to dress as nice as i can to make up for it. ive gone more to a loose relaxed fit. nautica, dkny union bay and shadyville make up my pants colection. when i wear them i try to make them have an extreme taper on the bottom so my laces show but barely cover the tounge and up between the heel of my foot and the back of the shoe so they dont drag on the ground.

I hope you mean you're losing your mind, and not *ahem* your pants. :lol:
Please do lose the hideous snake outfit, though.. Something tells me that although you've got some muscles, you're not Paul Hogan, mmmkay?
