Am I the only one who thinks these look nothing short of ridiculous?

I speak for all straight men everywhere. We don't remember what women are wearing, 5 seconds after we look away. Only other women, and Riffle care.

I was out shopping today and saw shredded jeans. They are actually shredded beyond belief. Proud to say I've never bought a pair and can't even imagine paying for something like that.

BTW, none of your pics show up.

Thanks, April. They show up for me, so I'm not sure why others can't see them... I'll try reposting them and see if that works. Weird!

Honestly, the second and third pair are kinda hot...on the right person. My 24 year old wife would have pulled them off perfectly. My 40 year old wife? She could pull them off, but would feel ridiculous doing it.

My wife and I are so square, we would never buy antiques...because they are used. We would never buy jeans like that....because they don't look like new.

Our mattress is covered in plastic sheets. It's convenient, if one of us dies.

The trunk of my car is also covered in plastic sheets. Want to do lunch some night?

  LOL! Cheryl!
  
  I don't find them fashionable at all!
  
  But that's not what made me laugh. What made me laugh was back in the "70's" when jeans with patches sewn all over them showing more patch than jean and then in the "80's" when those stupid leggins that were like socks without the foot part, parachute pants and when the super bright neon colors came out, we loved them but my grama said pretty much the same thing about calling that fashion.

It makes more sense to buy new pants whole, and then when they're worn down... hopefully that will still be in style.

When ripped jeans were super popular (was that 20 yrs ago???) I was right in style....I had jeans I'd worn for years that had some very nice holes in them.

Comments went from "you need new jeans" to "I love those jeans - where did you get them". For years I'd worn those jeans only for cleaning, gardening and horseback riding....all of a sudden they were "mall wear".

I thought people were crazy.

No more ridiculous than the trend to wear jeans halfway down your arse that most young guys here seemed to be following until recently.

But it's yet another reminder that fashion and style are two very different things.

Claude is right. I doubt ANY straight men care if your shoes are what you consider perfect, or match. I doubt any care if you are wearing any designer clothes, etc... I got a BIG kick out of the I Love Lucy show where ricky and fred have a guy design clothes out of old potato sacks, a bucket, and a horses feed bucket and NOT ONLY do the girls fall for it, but a "designer" sees it and COPIES it! I'm sure I just got a kick out of the idea back then. And TODAY? THEY WERE TAME!!!!!!! SERIOUSLY, most "designers" today would NEVER do that! It wasn't crazy enough!

MAN, women's clothing goes all over the place in price! You can get a nice dress for like $100, which is effectively LESS than most male clothing costs on average, to many TENS OF THOUSANDS of dollars, which is INSANE! Even MORE insane, the $100 dress has more uses, is sturdier, more modest, etc.... HECK, in a business, they may brag about expensive suits, but NOBODY will care! Once, as a christmas gift, my employer gave me a COMPUTER CASE! YEP, A COMPUTER CASE! I didn't need one, and my old one was cheap and usable. MAN was I shocked when I found out that that case cost over $500!(That was like 20 times the cost of my other ones!) It was leather, and quality, but still not really worth it. I KEPT it, only out of respect. A coworker actually went to a tumi store, and sold it back for about $500! Tumi for Men | Nordstrom

And the idea of shoes to accentuate the calves and make the average womens apparent height closer to that of the average man, is a nice idea, and possibly even appreciated, but is it REALLY worth it? Lady gaga is apparently VERY short, and wants to be VERY tall. One time, in an airport, she went flying because she tripped in her platform shoes!

Lady Gaga Tumbles Off 10-Inch Heels In London Airport! - Hollywood Life

Lady Gaga Tumbles Off 10-Inch Heels In London Airport!
June 23, 2010: Lady Gaga trips over her massive platform boots and falls hard on the ground as she arrives at Heathrow airport in London, UK this morning on a flight from New York City. (INFphoto.com)
Listen Lady Gaga, I’m glad you didn’t get hurt when you fell off your crazy platform shoes in London’s Heathrow Airport on June 23rd, but was it karmic retribution for bad ball game behavior?
You certainly stirred up a huge tidal wave of ill will when you flipped the bird at fans at the Mets game on June 10 and then groped yourself in front of Yankee players at their game on June 18.
Of course, you did set yourself for trouble by wearing 10-inch platform heels and ground-scraping leather chaps on an 8-hour flight from New York to London. How did you expect NOT to trip in those things?
And however did you think you’d be able to walk miles through Heathrow airport in those clodhoppers anyway?
Speaking of that — how did you sit through the flight in that get-up — sheer top, black bra and panties with chaps?
Gaga — don’t you get enough attention on stage — dressing for drama at ALL times does have it’s downsides!
