My particular favourites are the ones where the crotch sags down to the knee area, and a good 60-odd percent of the wearer's underpants are on show. No, you don't look cool, you look an absolute tit.

Even worse if they are that sh** brown colour or worn with nasty canvas shoes. You have to admire the salesmanship of whoever managed to convince so many that this is the 'look'.

The shoes. Yes, I'd forgotten about those.

P.S. I like my jeans but it's s*ds law that only one pair in 6 will keep their look and only reach the optimum level of fit and comfort either just before they fall apart or look totally out of fashion. I can respect the canvas shoes if they are TOMS. However, I use mine more as a summer shoe, with shorts. But the s**t brown jeans are definitely a no no. They are usually matched by a top that would be worn by a member of JLS, you know the type. The one that has no chest to it.

Jeans are great. More often than not I wear them to work instead of a suit.

I'm a big jeans wearer, although it has to be said it's corduroy's for the coldest days.

A pair of Levi 505's matched with Red Wing Beckman 9011's, a cowboy shirt and to top it off an Aero 1930's Halfbelt in four quarter horsehide or goat, depending on how I'm feeling. That's pretty much my standard wear for 6 months a year.

Although I'll soon be breaking out my collection of chino's for the summer, along with my A1 and A2 jacket's.

As for cheap jeans the best I've found are ASDA's stretch range. The sizes are all over the place so a measuring tape is essential. But for yard work, washing the car and other rather grubby activities there perfect.

I was behind a couple of lads the other day and one was "dressed" the way you describe.
As he walked they drooped lower and lower until he had to hoik 'em up again... but only back to a level below the widest part of his hips.
So, of course, they immediately started to drift South again.

The pattern on the boxer shorts he was so keen to expose looked like the sort of patterm you find on a romper suit or a babygro, little red teddy bears.

Cool?

Can't understand the concept of wearing jeans for gardening and whatnot. Sweat pants (or shorts, in the summer) is where it's at for manual labour.

I thought as much at first, but the whole concept of TOMS had me buying a pair.

And honestly, I don't regret it. The single comfiest shoe I have ever bought.
