Poll question: How do you like your jeans to fit?
Skin-tight, snug, loose, baggy, or droopy? I wear mine snug and always have. I don't like to have my circulation cut off, but I don't like loose or baggy jeans at all.

1. Loose enough so that I can sit down in them right away after
putting them on out of the dryer.

7. Understandable.
It's no fun having to work to get your jeans to be comfortable.

2. I like the "relaxed" fit which is different from
"loose" fit which are too loose for me. Relaxed gives you more room in the hip and thigh area. I also like either straight cut or boot cut and sitting at or just below the waistline.

3. Loose, but I'm so scrawny
tight jeans would look absurd on me.

9. You're not scrawny, billyskank...
:hi: I think you look very nice. Tight jeans aren't for everyone, and plenty of people look great in looser ones. :D

14. Snug,
bootcut and just below waist. Stretch jeans are nice but sometimes stretch too much by the end of the day.

16. Jeans are so-o-o-o-o 20th century.
They shrink, the heavy fabric is hot in summer, inadequate in winter, they take forever to dry and they pinch at the waist. Who needs 'em?

22. Ah, high-water pants.
No, don't have any of those.

I rather like the army type cargo pants. They make them in other, solid colors now. They are actually made to fit a human being and not the rigid caricature of one.

53. I tried to talk my husband into
manpris. We kept seeing European men wearing them - and they looked great.
No chance, though, with my baby. He's an old fashioned levis kind of guy.

Extra comfortable, looks great, comfortable in summer and winter. Gotta dry-clean em though, but it's worth it if you can afford it.

and not the Finnish baby arms pictured in Mr Tom's depictions, I like my jeans loose so I can breathe and not get headaches.

52. Snug, boot-cut.
I am appalled by the trend of tapered-leg pants I'm seeing infiltrating stores. All I can think of when I see them is Hammer pants.

55. I wear straight-leg jeans, but I refuse to bow to the trend
of tapered-leg pants. I hated Hammer pants when they were briefly in style in the 80s, and I will always hate them. Same goes for freakin' stirrup pants!

Edited on Fri Jul-14-06 06:32 PM by TheFriendlyAnarchist
They have to be loose and low, because for some reason, I look funny if the shirt I have goes down much below the belt.

EDIT: Yes, I am probably one of those teens most of you old folks out there hate because my boxers are sticking out half of the time :P
