Tight pants on men, yay or nay?

[Kuya]

It's time for another round of measuring BG's opinion on things!

So every now and then an argument sprouts up about tight pants on men, so let's see what most people here think. Here's some pictures on what people consider tight pants:

I was surprised to find out that some people felt quite strongly about men wearing tight clothing:

Members of the rap group Thug Slaughter Force—three brothers and two friends calling themselves Drama, Filthy, Tempa, Rebel, and Blanco the Don—walk the streets of Brooklyn in XL T-shirts with the words "Tight Clothes" slashed through with a red stripe: their message of protest against what they see as the move away from traditional baggy clothing and toward tighter-fitting outfits in today's hip-hop. The "No Tight Clothes" campaign is their latest idea in a decade of trying to make it in the rap game.

"Where'd you get that shirt from?" yells Elijah Bilal, sitting outside Lalove Uniform on Fulton Street. "Bring me one!" the 40-year-old adds, and then offers a reporter his own observation about the direction of hip-hop attire: "The tight clothes—what, the boys is gay now? Boys walking around thinking they girls, girls walking around thinking they boys . . . No wonder all the girls are dating girls—because the boys are gay!"

And Bilal isn't alone in his analysis. "I like that shirt," says a 28-year-old NYPD officer on foot who didn't want to be named. "This movement of everyone wearing tight-fitting clothes—it's not nice."

The video opens with an over-the-top "Slaughter General's Warning": "Wearing tight clothes by men may result in feminine tendencies, homosexuality, possible yeast infection, severe hemorrhoids, permanent wedgies, and genetically inherited transsexual characteristics in your son."

So what does BG think? Is tight pants on men an abomination that needs to die? Or is it just par for the course that if women wear them to show off their bodies, so should men?

i dont think this is bad. this is how i normally wear my pants. i dont have it swag or slide, but if you have the ass/thighs big enough to show off, i dont see why not. just not skin tight shit. thats too "rocky horror picture show" for my taste

[Gekii]

majority of my jeans are the tightness of the 4th pic

2nd pic is nice though too

[Tyche]

^ This, I don't see a problem with skinnys but that first guy holy fuck, you're doin it wrong.

The tighter the pants, the more it restricts my junk with boxers on. Loose fitting, yes, but ultra baggy without a belt, hell naw.

I don't know which I dislike more: Ultra tight or ultra idiotic and baggy. Most of the tight pants worn by men are by skateboarders and emos around here (not to lump them in the same catagory - boarders are fine).

[Shalyn]

2nd and 4th pics are fine to me. 2nd is the best, though.

[richardd]

i wear boxer briefs onry, and #4 is still pushing it. #2 or bust, negroes

[Chen]

just screams "i don't know how to buy clothes that fit"

#2 is fine, #1 had me worrying what was to come

[BerenTebogo]

2nd pic is good, others, nah.

[Headspace]

Nothing wrong with #2, everything else is bad.

[Headspace]

#4 only works with sandlols, wearing shoes with tight jeans like that looks terrible

All of my jeans fit similar to this:

Skinny jeans (way skinnier than this ^--) are very trendy. However, not all guys look good in jeans that are skin tight (hi2u chicken legs). I am one of them, so I opt for a slim fit straight leg, which is similar to the above photo, and skinny enough to still be in style.

2nd is fine, rest is for San Francisco
