it really is one of the most unflattering looks ever, i cannot begin to imagine why anyone would put themselves through a fashion which looks ludicrously painful for so little reward. it makes boys' legs look like twigs.
it's especially horrific when teamed with big, messy hair (makes wearer look like a tree) or pointy shoes (!!!! words are not sufficient to capture the utter ghastliness of this).
and the thing is hardly anyone looks comfortable in them! no one seems particularly confident that this look suits them, it's all very try-hard and desperate. and yet it seems to be spreading, every day i see more and more boys like this.
disgusting.

Thing is, I don't mind that tight jeans, pointed boots, messy hair thing on *actual* DDBs. But as a fashion statement, it freaking blows.
Cause, you know, I might actually *hit* on one by mistake, thinking that I could talk to them about the JAMC or the Velvet Underground, when in truth they're just doing it because Dior Por Homme or whoever told them to. Ugh.

And too short t-shirt so you can see their tiny fuzzy body hair which they put on display cause they can't grow any facial hair. Mind you, they're being silly thinking it's a dud (no facial hair) cause it ROCKS. (So does a little facial hair...)
tight jeans or what appear to be leggings and flat shoes
Kate Moss is the culprit. I do think that it is only tolerable if you are superskinny. Otherwise superdud.

Personally I could really live with the jeans if people looked a bit tidier for no other reason than as someone with floppy straight hair that does NOTHING no matter how hard I try/threaten it I am consumed with jealousy at these curly haired lads who can look all shaggy and fun.

Another bad fashion thing here: Baggy grey sweatpants, waistband folded over, tucked in to folded down ugg boots. Top off with bottle blonde hair, fake tan and gold jewellery. Yeeeeurgggh...
Rugby tops with collars folded up = WTF!? YOU LOOK LIKE A TWAT!!! Even worse: Wearing dubarrys or a similar style loafer with chinos and the rugby top as described above. Wankers.

when i first moved to america in '76 in so, one of the first things i remember seeing (one of hundreds of "first things" mind), plastered up in the window of a record store, was a picture of the ramones, on the cover of their 1st LP, in skinny jeans, kicks, t-shirts and biker jackets. i was so fucking impressed. it instantly became clear to me, at age 9, that THAT was how a person should look. i've wavered a bit in pursuit of that vision, drifted with the times and never been as slender as a ramone, but still it glows. there is no single style for a dude that looks half so effortlessly cool as skinny jeans & a slouch.
