I'm willing to accept dudes wearing low-rise skinny jeans so long as cute girls keep wearing them. It's a sacrifice I don't mind making!

Guys, I am going to return to this thread and say that skinny jeans are freaking comfortable and AWESOME. I bought a pair recently and can't wait until I get my next paycheck so I can go back and buy more to replace some of my older, more beat-up jeans that need replacing anyways. Seriously, they are really awesome. XD

Word. I was anti-skinny jeans for the longest time, until one of my friends forced me to try on a pair at the store once. I was surprised they looked so good AND were comfortable. It's like, the only kind of jeans I wear now. XD

It may be my body type, though, because I know some people who really don't like them after trying wearing them. I think maybe they look better on certain body types.

I do not look good in skinny jeans.

Also, coonskin caps were so 1860's.

I should probably rephrase with "skinny jeans are evil on men." XD

^ I dunno about that, there are some men that are FINE in skinny jeans! XD

Right now, silly bands. I've started seeing them at the local jr. high. They're like slap bracelets and colored/loopy shoelaces. Totally a fad and silly and will end... eventually.

Yeah, you know, I really don't understand those silly band things...

And about the skinny jeans... I really prefer to not see them on men. XD I actually used to really like that kind of thing, but... I don't know, since I've gotten older... I just really like it when a man wears jeans that fit him well, that aren't too tight, but are falling down to his ankles either. I don't like it when it looks like he's actually wearing girls pants.

Ugh, I really hate that pants falling off look, though. That's definitely WAY worse than girls jeans on guys.

I guess its not really skinnys I like because I hate when its too tight I guess its boot cut. and I HATE the pants falling off look.

I think there should be a new fab with tweed pants for guys :) Guys should be more classy.

Agreed. I think they should wear vests more often as well. :D

Oh, for sure. I don't want to know what brand of shorts you're wearing man.

Nothing better than a well dressed man :D

This reminds me of the time I passed a guy on the way to class wearing a white t-shirt that said "ABERCROMBIE" down the side, followed by a white pair of shorts that said "&FITCH" down one pant leg. I will never forget that day. XDD

[font="Trebuchet MS"][SIZE="4"][color="RoyalBlue"]I do believe one of the worse fads in my 25 years of life has to be the whole "Pacifier Necklace" trend. Now, I will admit I had one when I was about 10 or so (it was a clear plastic purple one), but now that I look back, I find myself thinking "What in the heck was I on?!"

Edit: Oh my gosh..I actually found a picture of the exact same one that I had!

So I was about to finally ask what on earth this pacifier trend was...and then I decided to do a Google image search.

...Wow. I am so unbelievably glad that fads go almost as quickly as they come. XD

I don't like the nano, either, but for different reasons most likely (I'm assuming your reasons based on what I normally hear.)

I want buttons I can feel (so I don't have to look at it to skip songs), and the ability to keep the screen off so the battery doesn't drain so quickly. I love my 2nd gen shuffle.

Oh my. :wow!::wow!::wow!:

That is worse (funnier?) than that bling T-Pain was wearing in the "Thug Story" video. My stars... XD

On-topic, I also greatly dislike the whole "hey let's wear our pants so we're practically not wearing them but we can still say we're wearing pants so nobody can complain about it" thing.

Yeah but corsets can cause health problems too.

Or so I have read. I mean wearing them once in a while probably wouldn't do too much damage but if you wore them every day...

Dude yeah, I've heard the same! Women who wore them back when they were a "necessary" part of the wardrobe ended up with displaced organs and broken ribs, apparently. I really doubt the fashion corsets today cause the same problems, though. XD I mean, depending on how tight you tie it. If you were to tie one as tight as they did back then, it would probably have the same effect, but I've only seen them worn mostly loosely these days, if at all. I'm not really sure though. I know I don't wear them. XD
