Tight pants on men, yay or nay?

[Xenega]

I think it depends.
If the person is fat, then no. If someone is skinny or "in-shape" I don't see a problem with it.
I have a somewhat athletic body, and I will continue to wear my skinny jeans. I hate baggy clothing, it looks stupid half the time on people I think.

i have huge legs and a proportioned ass with my big upper body. i dont really think im "obese" but i know im not skinny by any means. and i would never sport pants like those to show off my goods or ass, lol. if a woman wants to cop a feel or really get a look at what i have to offer, they can come up to me themselves and work at a relationship lol. the only time i wear skin tight crap is with boxer briefs, and even they provide some kind of comfort. those pants look like it would split if you squat down and pick up a pencil even with a paris hilton body lol

#2 aside, fat or skinny ppl wouldnt look good in it, imo

[Kerk]

I have jeans similiar to the second picture but I'd never go tighter then that. The rest of the pictures are terrible lol.

I think if you wear pants larger than 34~35 then skinny jeans are not right for you. You need some meat/muscle on your bones so you don't look stupid but not so much that you're bursting at the seams.

im 36-38, and i deadlift 410 lbs lol

i've got a lean ass and legs to prove it, and can easily wear that crap and not look terribad by your seam standards.



but why bother? it looks like shit even if you had brock lessner--> brad pitt body. like everyone said, #2 and under is a BUST!

So yeah, if you are built like a man, then skinny jeans are a no go.

Tight pants are the way to go although dumbass hipsters overdo it and ruin it for everyone.

That. There's nothing wrong with them, the look is just associated with hipsters and while hipsters are generally terrible people, they latch onto way too many things that would be totally okay otherwise. I refuse to let van's slip-ons be taken down or anything else I'd wear otherwise.

Also, since we're on the topic. Is it ok to wear girl pants? I had some girl pants cords that fit perfectly. I always thought girl pants were over the line until my friend gave me these. I wore them until they exploded at the knees, but couldn't let go so turned them into the gayest cutoffs of all time (which I mostly wear to offend my family.)

As mentioned, if they look fine or you like the look, the fact that they're girl pants seems kind of silly to ditch them for.

As for the OP, those are some awful pictures lol. I think most tight jeans are just disregarded on the basis of being "pretty gay, dude", but as with everything, there are good and bad styles and good and bad fits for body types.

im cool with it lol. i was just using an example for his waist ratio, but im getting there lol. but tbh, i can care less about how much. my form is perfect and thats all i really care about lol.

but seriously. those tight pants should be shunned son

[OWS_Tonx]

I saw your pic, you're a bigger guy. I just found it hard to believe 410

[richardd]

eh, no one is perfect lol. i got my areas i gotta work on like everyone else

im happy with 410 though. looking at "weight" is just dumb tbh. there are more factors involved than what statistics say on a piece of paper lol. i made a rant about that on the BG fitness thread, so ill just keep it there

[Mojo]

bro if you can't lift half a ton you're pretty much a pussy

[richardd]

make it harder on yourself and do it with the #4 pants and 90's jordans on, brah!

[Correction]

It seems that, even with pants #2 in the OP, the overwhelming majority in BG thinks that men should not wear tight pants.

Pics #1, #3 and #4 show why the overwhelming majority of tight pants on men look fucking terrible. Shouldn't be a surprise.

[Akiyama]

as everyone's said.. #2 is okay, the rest is bad.

I didn't mean it as an insult or anything, and I agree completely. A few guys I used to hang with were ripped, but would only bench ~150. the whole male side of family is just big, and cuz of that my bro and I are too.

[Mikus]

cosign #2 being ok, IF your build warrants it. I personally find anything tighter then #2 screaming feminine. I don't wear my jeans baggy, but I wear them loose. For myself I couldn't even wear #2 because having cell phone, keys, change, wallet, and anything else in my pockets I'd be very uncomfortable. 1 size over my true waste size is perfect for me.

As far as wearing actual girl jeans, just as a man I'd never do that. But, I understand Mojo saying he got compliments on them. Ok great, just don't admit they girl jeans...

And no high tops? High tops to me are an outfit shoe. If you have the outfit for them then they can look great. I always like Adidas Superstar/shelltoe mids.

The people who voted option 2, did you agree with the majority of this thread (you must have) that the second pic was alright? If so, then was your reasoning for voting the second option that you thought that most of the time, tight pants would look bad on men?

(hipsters love painted on jeans)

Fuckin hate hipsters. I have a few pair that are #2, but most of them are bit baggier. A minor Flair on the bottom. #2 is still generally too tight for my liking. I got cell phone, wallet & keys. Man purse only on vacation. Lol.
