This is an example of more dollars than sense. They look terrible and paid good money for the privilege.

That second guy is one fart away from a public nudity charge.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 41 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I don't think you should subject everyone in public to having to see the entire shape of your cock and balls in pants that are so tight you can't even walk in them.

I’m not a complete fucking bellend.

[–] D_C@lemm.ee 12 points 2 weeks ago

I'm at 89% on the bellend-o-meter myself at the moment, I'm afraid that if I go over 90% I'll have to dress like them!!

[–] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.one 33 points 2 weeks ago

"What's preventing you from dressing like this?"

My moderate self esteem.

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 33 points 2 weeks ago

I can't stand tight clothes especially shirts. There are very few things more annoying and uncomfortable than a shirt that desperately wants to burrow into your armpit.

As for the pants I can't say I'd enjoy needing a changing partner:

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 28 points 2 weeks ago

What's preventing me? For one, actually having taste in clothing.

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 25 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I am not dressing for you. I am dressing for my own comfort and to satisfy legal requirements.

[–] Aganim@lemmy.world 22 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Men, what's preventing you to dress like this?

The fact that my girlfriend would die from laughter if I did.

[–] Wanpieserino@lemm.ee 7 points 2 weeks ago

Life insurance for her, buddy

Left guy is fine, I think. Proportional and his clothes fit. The ripped knees are questionable but w/e if he wants to tell us he's on his knees all day I won't judge.

Not wanting to look like Douchebag McDouchebagface is what's stopping people from looking like that.

Also I try not to wear plastics.

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 17 points 2 weeks ago

Because I don't shop in the kids section.

  • I prefer to wear socks
  • I used to be fat, so skin tight shirts don't look good on me
  • I like button up shirts
  • In cool weather when I wear long trousers, I prefer not to have my ankles frozen
  • In hot weather I'm keeping as much of my legs bare as available men's bottom wear allows

All in all I don't like that style. I knew a boy who liked that style as a youth, he was a arsehole

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Walking in with my pants rolled up to mid-calf and the knees busted out like I've been giving head at the local truck stop for the last three weeks. I've got a full head of hair, yet I insist on shaving everything but the crown. I absolutely cannot grow a beard, and I refuse to get a proper shave. I'm wearing a watch in the year 2025, purely to show off how much money I can throw at one of the only allowed men's accessories. Neck. Tattoos. There's a 50/50 chance I'm wearing socks.

The entire cast of the Jersey Shore is lining up to get my number. Everyone else is staying at the distance necessary not to smell the patchouli.

[–] slouching_employer@lemmy.one 15 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Give it about ten years and the popular style will pendulum back to fitted/tight clothing.

Just like it was before the current baggy trend and after the previous baggy trend, which was preceded by another tight trend, which was preceded by another baggy trend, and so on and so on

I wonder how much momentum there is in that pendulum?

I think it started swinging (at least in America) in the 30's. Between the scarcity of the depression and rationing during the war, fashions tended toward minimal. Then in the abundance of the 50's you got big puffy poodle skirts and zoot suits because we finally had a surplus.

Dudes look like a still image for a gay fashion themed Sims 4 pack

The gays probably have better fashion sense

Their arms are as big as their thigh. How can you even do that?

[–] cRazi_man@lemm.ee 59 points 2 weeks ago

By skipping leg day

The ability to move without squeaking.

Because I don’t aspire to drive an Audi.

[–] EySkibidiBabBab 12 points 2 weeks ago
[–] PNW_Doug@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

Because I'm 55 years old and would—shockingly—even appear more of a buffoon than they?

Seems like a fairly good reason to me.

They're all wearing leggings of assorted fabrics and styles.

Showing off those sexy ankles would've gotten them in quite the pickle back in the late 1800s.

[–] kameecoding@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Personally for me I have massive legs even without working out( benefits of overweight with the right genetics) and I can't get the skinny jeans past my calves. 🤷‍♂️

It would also look ridiculous on me.

I would never wear long jeans that are not long enough and low socks to expose my ankles, that would feel terrible.
