But would YOU wear it?

Yes, freaks and fashionistas, that beloved feature is back. You know you missed it.

You know I've long been a proponent of the skinny jean for guys. (If you can pull it off.) I like how they make you look long and lean and hip, and the gathering at the bottom kind of makes me feel like a bad boy/rock star. (What can I say? I'm from the suburbs.)

Cheap Mondays, though, I have mixed feelings about. Them bad boys is TIGHT! It's like you can hear a dude's sperm count dropping when he walks by. One time, after we accidentally let an innocent al fresco happy hour lead to a very sloppy all-nighter, my then-roommate started panicking at 3 a.m. (while I was doubled over in laughter) because he couldn't get out of his Mondays. It was like watching someone smoke crack; I'll pass for now, thanks.

Anyway these Cheap Mondays are apparently a way for a dude to have skinny and baggy look in the same pant. I guess this is for the guy who wants to rock a long white T hang while keeping the bum shielded. Hmm.

I will reserve my comments to let you form your own opinion but I do have to say...that top portion offers an awfully contoured glance at the booty right? Maybe they will start handing these out in cities where they have the baggy jeans laws.

What do you think? Would you wear it?

Would YOU Wear them

I was just having a conversation with one of my friends in Chicago about skinny jeans on boys... she is dead set against them. I feel differently. If you have the body type fellas (meaning you're skinny) wear them! They are very Euro. As for these jeans... they remind me of the early 90s when Kriss Kross was popular. For some reason, at first glance when I saw these jeans I said, "Jump, Jump. The Daddy Mac will make you, Jump, Jump".

There is a time and a place for these jeans. They are for the true trend setters who are not afraid to be strange. I kinda like them!
