You crack me up IK! I think the jeans are cool. But I love your jacket more CocoLion on "WIW 1-22: How do dudes do it?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1-22-how-do-dudes-do-it#post-1146752 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 19:22:57 +0000 CocoLion 1146752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Your post cracked me up. I think this fit of pants is European and fashion-forward.  I do think you're pulling it off successfully here.  I have experimented with this look and it can be trickily.  I now have a pair of 5 Units pants with a drop crotch and am on the fence whether they look cool, sloppy, or downright ugly.  But the newer/forward looking aspect of this design has won my heart. carambola on "WIW 1-22: How do dudes do it?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1-22-how-do-dudes-do-it#post-1146742 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 19:17:10 +0000 carambola 1146742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love the moto with the boots! Only the sleeves are leather, so it doesn't look like too much at all. Also loving the light wash jeans with black.

When I see guys in super tights jeans I wonder too. Maybe they're all secretly wearing dropped versions though. Love the look, especially with the jacket. One of my uncles is a Harley guy, and you definitely don't look like his girlfriend! gryffin on "WIW 1-22: How do dudes do it?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1-22-how-do-dudes-do-it#post-1146597 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 16:58:21 +0000 gryffin 1146597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ik - despite the "technical dificulties" of the outfit it looks great!!  Gosh is that what you have to go through to get jeans to look good in boots without all the knee scrunch and bunching?  Love the Zara moto with this too.  I agree "swinging room" gave me a total chuckle - can't you see some dude yelling his "man parts need to breathe!!"  Wait wasn't there a Seinfelf episode of this with kramer?  of course the theme song, better yet video, playing in the backround would need to be Richie Haven's "Freedom."  Sara L. on "WIW 1-22: How do dudes do it?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1-22-how-do-dudes-do-it#post-1146581 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 16:39:06 +0000 Sara L. 1146581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The jeans look great on you! I had no idea they were men's until reading your description (which was quite amusing). All DH's siblings and their spouses ride Harleys, and no, you do not look like a Harley Honey. ironkurtin on "WIW 1-22: How do dudes do it?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1-22-how-do-dudes-do-it#post-1146572 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 16:34:46 +0000 ironkurtin 1146572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ @Debbie - I sure hope not.  I'll probably wash them cold, then hang dry with a towel stuffed in each lower leg.

Debbie on "WIW 1-22: How do dudes do it?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1-22-how-do-dudes-do-it#post-1146567 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 16:26:10 +0000 Debbie 1146567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think it looks great together. On the jeans will you have to wet the calf area every time you wear them?

I'm not sure who those jeans are actually intended to fit, but they do look good on you. Emily on "WIW 1-22: How do dudes do it?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1-22-how-do-dudes-do-it#post-1146557 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 16:12:57 +0000 Emily 1146557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You made me lol - "swinging room". Love those jeans on you - you're rocking the heck out of them! Great mens dept. find.  I think the boots and jacket both look great.  I agree with Ceit, too, that a white tee would look fab against the light wash.

I think they look good! Your drapey Ts in white will look great with these.

You have great casual style and know what works for your body. Perseverance paid off with the jeans. Are they comfy in the lower leg? I can see these jeans looking equally fab with light colors. rute on "WIW 1-22: How do dudes do it?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1-22-how-do-dudes-do-it#post-1146510 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 15:37:12 +0000 rute 1146510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love the boots with the jacket! Gorgeous, as to the jeans.. the fit is strange, not the best, in my modest opinion Thistle on "WIW 1-22: How do dudes do it?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1-22-how-do-dudes-do-it#post-1146508 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 15:36:27 +0000 Thistle 1146508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Living in the home of Harley, I can assure you that you do not have the Harley Honey look :) You do look terrific, and I am not sure what to say on the jeans. In know DH refuses to wear anything other than relaxed fit. When skinnies were briefly popular here for teenage boys, he would shake his head in sympathy. Granted, you never saw the athletes in this style of pants. ironkurtin on "WIW 1-22: How do dudes do it?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1-22-how-do-dudes-do-it#post-1146505 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 15:32:47 +0000 ironkurtin 1146505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm wearing the R13 jeans I had to wear wet from the knee down to get them over my calves *eeeyaaagh yuck!* They are men's "droopy" jeans and they have given me extreme sympathy for our laddies, because any boy who could pull these over his scrawny calves will find these do indeed droop right off his presumably equally scrawny butt. Maybe it's designed for men who think their equipment needs lots of swinging room? In any case, I don't think they look terrible on me but the crotch is at least an inch and a half below my actual parts. Question on the boots: Too much with the jacket? Hope I don't look too Harley Honey in this rig. - Inhabit asymmetrical sweater - Alternative Apparel black tee - R13 men's jeans - Giraudon boots - Zara moto - Inhabit scarf
