The Style Thread

[stevepole]

I used to wear Levis all the time and I've never found them to stretch to the point where I thought I should have gone a size down.

 

Although, I would try on the size 29 just to see how they fit. It never hurts to try, and if they're to small/tight just get the 30.

[Omar]

Ehh idk about that, I think it depends how often you wash them.

 

I bought a couple pairs of jeans (probably not quite as high quality) and found that they shrunk in the wash to the point that they don't really fit unless I wear them for several days in a row.

Jeans shrink in the dryer, not the wash. Wash cold and hang dry to minimize shrinking.

@Noxxx some jeans have extra-long inseams (30x34-36). If there's an Urban Outfitter near you, try their Unbranded Jeans "tapered fit".

I used to wear womens deodorant before switching to Dove Men. Both guys and girls couldn't comprehend how I could smell so nice :P

The reason I switched is because Dove Men smells great combined with a shower and clean laundry. I pretty much smell like cleanliness now.

I just realise my jeans have a hole opening up on the inside of the thigh just below the groin. Sigh.

I hear some women wear men's deodorant because it's more powerful. But I've always seen the opposite to be true... Ach, well, I like my deo. Dio. Me tio. TREEKO

I tried on the 29 and 30, the 29's were noticeably tight around my thighs, and the 30's weren't as tight, and looked more like the photo, but if the 29's are going to stretch about a size up then I guess I should buy them, they're expensive enough that I want to get it right and not regret my decision though :P. @tim I didn't want really skinny jeans which is why I went with the 511's and not the 510's, if you're looking for something skinny-ish you should try the 511's on.

 

I already have a pair of 514's which I got in 30, they started out nice and comfortable, not too tight, not too baggy, then when I stopped going to the gym for a month I lost a bit of weight and the jeans became really lose around my thighs and just felt baggy.

[Shiny]

I'd go for the 30s by the sound of things.

[Omar]

Wait up, they're going to stretch most in the waist. They're only going to stretch where they feel tight. If you think they're too tight in the thigh, try a 29 in the 514.

[Jeffwilson99]

So what is the difference between 510/11/12 etc? Is that the leg sizes or whatever? I have reasonably big legs, so maybe that is what I need. My current jeans are quite tight around the thighs, but reasonably loose around the waist, and they're 32's I think. And I have to wear a belt.

[Lenticular_J]

Just different Levi's cuts. I think those are all skinny cuts.

[jimmy_jim]

510's super skinny, 511's are just skinny, though, they're not as skinny was you'd expect when trying them on. And 512's don't exist :P, you can see the different styles on the left hand side of the webpage. The skinny jeans I see most people wear just look weird, especially if they're wearing them with flip flops

[Omar]

Flip flops lol?

Anyway, yeah, it's not a code or anything, it's just a number. 510 is super skinny, 511 is skinny, 514 is slim straight, 501 is original. Those are the only ones I know.

[Ouchy]

By Flip Flops, do you mean Jandals? If you do, then anyone that wears flip flops/jandals with any type of jeans look stupid.

Yeah, I was going to say thongs, which is what we usually call them but too many different places have different names for them :P

 

So many men wear jandles with their skinny jeans in Brisbane, seems to have become a fashion lately. Looks freaking weird to me

[Jeffwilson99]

Yeah heaps of people do that here during the summer too. Fashion eh.

[Omar]

I don't like flip-flops on anyone with anything ever.

Eh, i wouldn't do it myself ( i don't think i've worn flip flops for at least 15 years now) but i've seen people pull it off.

[Jeffwilson99]

But you live in Canada, so they have little practicality there, surely? Here they're great for the summer, going to the beach etc.

[KittyKat]

I swear I'm going to get shot for saying this, but I bought a pair of crocs. Furthermore, I actually like them. They're lightweight, breathable, easy to clean. I don't wear them in public, instead only for boating or as camp shoes while backpacking.

It's 30°C here in the summer, it's not like we're immune to heat or whatever. People wear them a lot, though a lot less than in Australia.

[Jeffwilson99]

Do you go to the lakes much? That would be a good place to wear them, somewhere you want to go barefoot quite a lot, but may need some footwear.

[doomy]

Hmm I just wear them everywhere during summer here. So do most people I know.

 

Also flip-flops sounds stupid. Why no other places seem to call them jandals I will never know ;s

[Omar]

I wear Authentics to the pool or when I'm near/going in the river, and it has never occurred to me that they were unpractical. Most people I know don't dress well. All names you can give this type of footwear are stupid, but none are as evocative of the annoying sound they make as "flip-flop". And to boot (pun unintended), they're uncomfortable as can be.

[Shiny]

I'll be getting a pair of sebago boat shoes for the coming summer, along with a pair of white chinos for nighttime parties, navy chino shorts, and a host of sport shirts (think whit and pink oxford bds)

 

Approved?

When you're going to the beach or whatever, practicality is more important than trying to dress well imo.
