Chuck the Chick Jeans 04/15/2010
Can you tell which is the girl and which is the guy in these pictures? I was checking out at Costco a few weeks ago and these hastily-snapped phone shots are are of the couple that was in front of me. They both had on white sweatshirts and the EXACT SAME JEANS! Fancy bright white stitching up the sides - Check! White design on the flap back pockets - Check! I'm sure I had the most confused look on my face as I looked from her to him and back to her. I tried to get both butts clearly in one shot but they wouldn't hold still. Oddly enough. Must have been clear I was going to feature them as a what not to wear. His is the top butt... so you know. Hers was quickly snapped before they walked away. I don't mind details on men's clothing. What I mind is androgyny. When the similarities are just too close for comfort! Like these... I realize that the poses and models' figures make it obvious which is the guy and which is the girl. But I know very few women who look like this from behind. Most look like the candid photos up top. I like to add touches of menswear to outfits. It's sexy when juxtaposed against feminine items. And when I do, I want to hear, "That looks great!" from a man. Not, "What I good idea. I think I'll wear it that way too." The androgenization of society is disconcerting to me. I like men to be men and women to be women. We're at our best that way. There are facets of each in all of us and we can play them up or down as we like to create our best selves. But the androgenization of fashion is just lazy on the part of manufacturers. It should be clear, at a glance, which jeans are for men and which are for women. ![]() Gap Jeans So men... don't snag your wife's jeans. Don't let her shop for you, if that's the style she's going to bring home. She probably just wants them for herself in the end! ![]() Gap Jeans Revel in your manhood! It'll make us look even better walking next to you. Comments06/10/2010 15:08
No way would I wear the same jeans as my husband, even though I love the *boyfriend* jeans/jean-shorts look at times. I'm just glad my husband doesn't think the same about skinny jeans. Ha! Found you through SITS! Have a great weekend. -Aimee 06/10/2010 15:35
Thankfully The Man loves his man jeans...and I am quite a fan of my skinny jeans ;) I was at a baseball game with a girlfriend a few years back and as we were walking out of the stadium we spotted a teen-age boy holding up his jeans...when we got closer for a better look we realized that he was (probably) wearing his sister's jeans which were obviously too short!! What an idiot! Leave a Reply |
