These jeans are worth $805 because ______________.
Alex Wang expects you to pay $395 for a pair of jeans with a swipe of paint down the sides.
“These dirty-wash straight-leg jeans feature foil accents at the sides. 5-pocket styling and single-button closure. Mild distressing and worn edges.”
As if, Alex. You are THIS CLOSE to being Cunt of the Week™.
“Levi’s red 1st giant fit jean from the first Levi’s red collection in blue denim.
This jean is the oversized fit of the 3 different fits from this collection.
The features of this jean are the cinch back, the low 1 back pocket and the huge seat that flows into the extra wide ergonimic legs.
This pair has never been washed and was worn consistently for around six years before having to be put to bed in the archive due to the smell that it gives off once it gets slightly warm.
Size: 32″ W x 32″ L
* Please be aware that this product is second hand and has been worn. Although it’s been treated with love it may show signs of wear and tear – we hope you understand that this isn’t a fault, it adds to the individual story of each piece.”
$4,192.65
Get them here.
If someone wearing these jeans came galloping toward me, I’d have a stroke. Don’t they remind you of a satyr from Greek mythology? Or are they just hideous? (Cheap Monday, $87 at Shopbop)
Less Dionysian but grotesque in its own right is this suede number that would probably look more acceptable with the butt cut out, at least for a gay rodeo. (Haute Hippie, $695, Shopbop)
Stupid and laughable, yes, but I know a trend when I see one. I’m going to call this look “Tragic Mountain Goat” unless someone’s got a better idea.
What’s wrong with this picture?
Nothing, until you find out it’s a one-piece “romper.”
Isn’t that just inexplicably horrible?!
I’m not sure why it’s so horrible, but the first thing that comes to mind for some reason is the problem of getting undressed with a lover. The shock, the confusion….IT’S ONE PIECE! Eooowwwww.
And you can’t even pull up the saggy jeans with a belt. It just creeps me out.
If you’re creeped out too, can you explain why?
I’ve never stopped loving Levi’s, same as disneyrollergirl and my friend Mark (who has curated 60 pairs.) Levi’s has always been around, making high quality jeans that almost anyone can afford. Once in a while they collaborate with big names like Comme des Garcons, House of Holland, and Andy Warhol.
Their new collaboration with Gaultier proves that you CAN wear denim with denim, since these two pieces can be purchased separately but look perfect together.
I’m not too sure what’s going on with these harem pants but clearly they would obscure one’s flat asymmetrical ass with all that fabric.
I would hoard wear these things if only I had some money. Later on I’d probably have to sell them on eBay but I’d still love to get my hands on them.
I love the shopping site Farfetch as much as the next man, but I was not happy with today’s feature, a lesson on How to Wear Double Denim.
First of all, I don’t want the term “double denim.” Take it away! Who made it up, anyway? Is it The Gap? WendyB discussed the wearing of double denim a few weeks ago. Most of her readers seemed to feel, Yes, I’m into it. I personally didn’t like the examples she showed but then I forgot about it. Now I see it’s a bona fide fashion Problem.
If you need to ask how to wear double denim, you should just give up. Don’t wear anything. Stay home in bed. How hard is wearing denim for fuck sake?!
Farfetch shows us three ways to “pull if off.” This is perilously close to “getting it right.” It’s so dogmatic! Who is to decide whether you pulled it off, besides the Satorialist?
The looks devised by Farfetched seem completely arbitrary but they are given categories, because People like categories. There is Tough, Pale and Preppy. Preppy is a silly Tom Sawyer costume, Pale is kind of Pseudo French Girl, and Tough is sexy because it’s modeled by Abby Lee Kershaw, a young goddess. There are all sorts of bossy rules involved in each look.
Now I’m feeling really bad about double denim. I don’t think I normally wear jeans with anything else denim, but whatever, it’s dead to me now.
HOWEVER! I just went to Macy’s to get my kid a shirt and in the men’s department they had skin tight skinny cut Levi’s in bright colors like turquoise and red, for only $59. I would wear red Levi’s with a denim jacket. But not now. I’m too stubborn, and I don’t have $59.
R13 is a line of denim produced in Italy that triggered my irrational yearning last year with an ad campaign featuring a tomboy endowed with an endearing Fuck You attitude.
See how pissed off she is?! Her Angry Runaway Look is particularly resonant for me, but obviously the appeal is widespread.
Look how pissed off she is above, in the new season droopy jeans!
I can’t remember if I’ve already divulged the shameful fact of my jeans hoarding. I have 22 pairs of jeans in rotation. Some are black but they’re still jeans. I’m not counting the leather ones or the red ones. My only consolation is that my friend Mark has 6o pairs of Levi’s. Thank you, Mark!
I’m pretty sure that I could live with maybe 4 pairs of jeans. A baggy pair, a tight pair, a high-waisted pair, and a black pair. But just thinking about it makes me nervous. Hoarding is a difficult and persistent problem, I am learning.
Luckily, I’ve just realized that I don’t need the R13 droopy jeans ($275) because nearly all of my jeans look like this by the end of the day. I am not exaggerating. They start out tight in the morning, and later on they are sagging to the point of falling off.
I can’t get them a size smaller, because then they’re too tight. God has worked hard on this conundrum, always making sure that the next size down will refuse to stretch out enough. Let’s give Him the credit He deserves for this!
I would like someone to provide exhaustive research on the fit of different brands and styles of jeans: For example, which work best for flat butts, big butts, long-waisted figures or big hips with a small waist. I want to know which jeans will stretch out a full size and which won’t.
Isn’t there a huge market for this? Or is it only the wish of a hoarder with drooping issues?
Douche Bag?? Someone has some explaining to do.
