Especially with the little strappy sandals and tank tops I used to wear pretty much every day when I lived in the desert.</p> <p>Fortunately I don't have any photos of myself wearing them, so I can fondly think back on them and maintain the illusion. I'm sure the buttons added bulk in a rather unflattering place... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buttonfly-jeans-why#post-492183 Tue, 20 Dec 2011 22:43:29 +0000 cciele 492183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I dunno, I kinda like how you can "rip" open the fly of button-fly jeans </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buttonfly-jeans-why#post-491728 Tue, 20 Dec 2011 05:27:07 +0000 soobee 491728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There's Something About Mary "Frank and beans!" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buttonfly-jeans-why#post-491634 Tue, 20 Dec 2011 02:57:04 +0000 Angie 491634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have spoken to blokes about this before, and *apparently* button flys are more comfortable. Our indoor plumbing systems are so very different. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buttonfly-jeans-why#post-491612 Tue, 20 Dec 2011 02:32:51 +0000 Anonymous 491612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have Lucky button fly jeans and really like them. I've had no problem with the buttons. I've had zipper jeans where the zipper becomes unzipped even though they are not tight. Given a choice, I'll take the button fly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buttonfly-jeans-why#post-491607 Tue, 20 Dec 2011 02:25:26 +0000 Patty 491607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loved button fly 501s--- but if something disrupted the cadence of my buttoning I'd forget one.<br /> Like Malina I think they have some extra give. And I like the look of them.<br /> I know there were some that would cut the flap off the fly area (on 501s) to expose the buttons on the fly for the looks.</p> <p>I hate it when the zipper pull "handle" gets stuck in the fold at the bottom of the zipper travel in jeans---particularly with my kids' pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buttonfly-jeans-why#post-491536 Tue, 20 Dec 2011 00:24:56 +0000 Mo 491536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love 'em. They give at all the places where other jeans pull on me. Maybe it's a hippy (body type not fashion style) thing? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buttonfly-jeans-why#post-491486 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 23:21:18 +0000 chewyspaghetti 491486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think besides the mechanics for men, I think it's just a nostalgic thing. Levi's originally had button flies because zippers hadn't been invented yet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buttonfly-jeans-why#post-491458 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 22:44:00 +0000 banananutmuffin 491458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I used to wear buttonfly jeans a lot because my zippers were always coming down! Can't find buttonfly jeans I like now, so I just deal with zippers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buttonfly-jeans-why#post-491453 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 22:40:35 +0000 Amy 491453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have similar problems with zippers coming open </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buttonfly-jeans-why#post-491452 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 22:37:37 +0000 ironkurtin 491452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How does buttonfly make more sense for a guy than a zipper? I guess you can't get stuck in a buttonfly, but it's a lot more work to do and undo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buttonfly-jeans-why#post-491442 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 22:23:45 +0000 Angie 491442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Makes complete sense for blokes - don't you think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buttonfly-jeans-why#post-491431 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 22:13:00 +0000 rae 491431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I still have a couple pair that button (Lucky and Miss Sixty). I don't seem to mind either way, though the rise is low enough on those that there are only two buttons involved. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buttonfly-jeans-why#post-491428 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 22:05:53 +0000 Anonymous 491428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm more or a velcro fly kinda gal. JUST KIDDING.<br /> I had a pair of Levi's button fly's in college because I thought they were so cool. (I also had high top Nike Airs--how's that for a feminine look?) Frankly the button fly adds a lot of bulk at a place I don't need it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buttonfly-jeans-why#post-491423 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 21:55:23 +0000 ironkurtin 491423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anyone a fan of buttonfly jeans? I can't figure out the appeal. I always miss one button, or one always comes undone, and when I discover it I feel a fool. I used to love my buttonfly Levis, but lately my fly is definitely *not* buttoned. </p>
