  • MAN THAT SKINNY JEANS ON GUYS NEED TO OFFICIALLY RETIRE IT HAD A DECENT RUN IN 07 AND SOME OF 08 NOW PLEASE JUST FADE OUT, I MEAN BESIDES WAXING A CAR WHAT ELSE GOOD IS THE SKINNY JEANS ON GUYS GOOD FOR. NOW AS FOR THE LADIES STYLE DON’T CHANGE PLEASE DON’T. THE ALL OVA PRINT HOODIES I DUNNO RIGHT NOW IM SEEING LESS PPL ROCKING EM BUT BACK IN 06 AND 07 THATS ALL U SAW SO I GUESS THEY GRACEFULLY FADING OUT. I DOUBT THE PRINT JEANS FOR GUYS GO OUT OF STYLE RIGHT NOW THAT IS. AND THE WET NYLON JACKET I DON EVEN KNOW HOW THAT CAME INTO STYLE IN THE FIRST PLACE

    skinny jeans on dudes needs to go die inow i don’t have a problem with some straight fit jeans that aint too baggy, palid is only hot on button ups the shorts are officially dead, the leggings is sexy if they’re done right so they can stay, embroidered jeans can stay but the screen prints have got to go, allover print still works on hoodies if its not exessive, acid jeans for men and women still look good to me, but them wet nylon jackets/vests are so stupid and might as well go away too
    peace

  • Rick Lexington says:

    I don’t really see skinny jeans being rocked by dudes. The flannel I’m starting to rock it but nothing crazy like up above. People were jockin it at school. The print embellish on jeans will probably stay. Never really matter to me. The all over print hoodies are fading out. I still rock my girbaud one when it goes with the rest of the stuff, it’s nothing too much like the elmo one. Wet jackets I don’t see comeing in.

    The preppy thing is starting to come into phase. But people aren’t doing it right. Giant argyle style sweaters with baggy pants lol. There’s still people with a sloppy baggy look tryin to be hard.

    The girls stay on the acid wash jeans. I think they might rock leggings or some type of tight pants. I do see leggings hopefully I see more. But they look retarded when they’re high watering.

  • charlie biz says:

    acid wash jeans are not the biz……..straight up

  • Jen says:

    The skinny jeans work if you can rock ‘em right but I’ve seen guys wear them horribly too so it’s more like a 50/50 thing. The plus is when they don’t care what other guys think AND they look nice.

  • Supa says:

    i kno skinny jeans and leggins are stayin 4 sure…i havent really seen acid wash jeans tho

  • The_Illist says:

    The Print/Heavy Embroided Jeans… Gotta Stay. But The Skinny Jeans On Dudes Ain’t Right!

  • ya boy aj says:

    wet look jackets are the flyest thing over in the uk

  • Kara Maria says:

    WTF is up with skinny jeans on guys anyways? “I DONT WEAR SKINNY JEANS CUZ MY KNOTS DONT FIT” JAY-Z SAID IT BEST LOL. They look alirght on sum ladiezz but not everyone. Embroided jeans are hot! but wet look jackets just arent workin out fo’ me. Allover print hoodies are cool if they got the right print…that elmo one aint! I cant say i like those leggings but some looks good.

  • GQ says:

    Nah… u cyah wear skinny jeans cause u too damn fat!! lol… skinny jeans kool wit me as long as it ain’t stretch jeans.. it’s a island boys ting (dancers galor..rrrrraaahh)…oh, and we got alot-a goods too…lol

  • Real says:

    All Over Printed Hoodies, Peep Toe Pumps, Plaid (which I hate), Gladiator Flats (not the Gladiator Heels), Peep Toe Booties (Peep Toe Anything!) have to go! Skinny jeans not played out to me like leggings, but Shiny Leggings can stay, everything else can stay, because they ain’t played out to me yet. I like all the recent trends right now.

  • Critnit says:

    i always thought that skinny jeans shoulda been a fly whitboy thing. The leggings can be aight at times. Some plaid if rocked wih right pants snwakers and all that, all over im kinda iffy with (dig more of a simplified style), wet jackets is straight up nast, and them heavy print jeans i always thought was too much.

  • Ticara from Chicago says:

    Okay… The printed hoodies got to go for me. In the Chi (Chicago) I hate to see people in them cuz the **** look huff not whats good at all. I never had one. Never plan to get one either lol. Skinny Jeans for guys—-ugh- not that hot. I think that need to go a.s.a.p ain’t nothing like a guy in some nice baggy jeans and fresh wheat tims. LOL Skinny jeans for women are still hot to me I love how they fit. You can wear them with heels and gym shoes. That wet jacket **** ain’t whats happenin at all. If you want your **** to be wet go wet it then lol But, leggins ain’t whats up they ****ed it up when they started wearing shorts with them making it look cheap. I like the shiny ones! I’m ready for 09′…

  • waterfallprincess says:

    ok i hate tha skinny jeans on dudes fareal if i seen my dude in them i would start to wonder if he was gay fareal i prefer for a guy to sagg’ to me that jus look better and it make it look like u got mega swagg

  • lil_o says:

    Printed hoodies have been put since the end of ‘07…smh at the gino green hoodies and ice cream that I own (bad investments…lol) anyway skinny jeans are good, tired of people wearing jeans that are way too huge (I used to do the same then I graduated high school) grow up, people. As 4 the females whateva makes ya look beautiful I’m down wit it, I’m out 1

  • BOXHEAD says:

    All over print hoodies I aint had since 07, and as far as skinny jeans I think if u in high school still it get old cause everybody do it everybody jock each other, I hate plaid, and ladies if u look good in it wear it, the fellas love it

  • Dave P. says:

    Guys wearing skinny jeans…that has to go, fo’real. guys rockin’ skinny jeans are robbin’ their girlfriends’ closets. I still rock it the REAL urban style, and I don’t give a damn if ppl don’t like my style (loose shirt, (but not super-loose to the point I looked like wearing a rice sack), loose jeans/denim shorts, and some Timbs or air force 1’s) Never a fan of plaid shirts, for I feel like i’m in the farm or country (lol)

    As for the ladies, keep the outfits sexy and fresh as ever. ladies should only wear skinny jeans, for it looks good on them. please watch your closets from your bfs in case they like to sneak into your closet…to gain access to your skinny jeans. lol.

  • Soulja Girl says:
