Gaydrobe Item #2: The Pants

I've never really liked skinny jeans on men. 
I always associated them with those weird people lurking in front of every mall with gravity-defying haircuts. (I'm not really sure all of them were men...)


Slim pants have never been exclusively for women.
They were originally linked to rock and roll and "bad boys".

Elvis, the bad boy 'par excellence'.

So skinny jeans have been popular unisex pants until baggy and large jeans started to replace them. Women still wore their slim-fit jeans though, and that is how they became a specifically female fashion.

So it is only then that skinny jeans started being associated with gay people.
A nice ass or a hot pair of legs were a woman's features.
That is why when celebrities started to appear with these slim jeans, people found that quite shocking. But since, designers are more and more promoting this kind of fashion.

People might say that men are embracing their feminine side, that the lines between men are women are blurred.
I say that men just don't care anymore about what people think.
They just wear whatever they think is comfortable and trendy.

  1. you're right , men don't really care anymore.
    Talking str8 now, women show their skin, men are starting to wear tight clothes. I mean it would kinda be awkward when a man wears a 1" shorts(I don't have a prob ,but the mainstream consensus says it is)

    so they resort to tight jeans to show their buts and tight shirt for torso muscles.

    I love skinny jeans :p

    Yeah, straight men are stealing our fashion sense and awesome! It's outrageous hehe!
    I think it's really hard for men to choose a pair of jeans that is neither too tight or too loose for their legs... Each pair of legs is different and require a different pair of skinny pants. For example I would hate it if a man with skinny legs would wear jeans too tight. It just looks wrong!
