One thing I never wear is a suit, a tie Vest because I think it looks silly. I remember the 20s and 30s people I always wore this even doing construction work

A lot of things that look like "suits" nowadays were actually designed to be activewear. I'm a huge fan of the Oxford Cloth Button-Down shirt, which was the original athleisure ~100 years ago.

I wore jeans and white button-down Oxford shirts in 1970, I wear them now. Life’s simple. OK, on days like today, when it’s in the 90s, I wear lightweight clothes. Jeans and heavy cotton shirts are a bit much.

Not a bad solution. For denim, the trend is to a wider straight leg and classic fades, which looks great especially when worn to break at the shoe or boot instep. This creates a break at the knee and a slight flare effect which, when combined with a tighter fitting top block, is very flattering.

There is nothing oversized about a wide straight leg or even a boot cut, high waists, pleats on suit trousers, etc. But I guess if your formative years were spent squeezed like a sausage into tiny clothing, anything that doesn’t follow those lines might seem to be so.

My first job was in the fashion business. I learned I really hated the fashion biz & people. Nothing’s changed. Wardrobe, jeans & a shirt or sweater, has changed little. Got the Wall St company I worked for in the 90’s to ditch the suits & ties. Try wearing a wool suit on a NYC subway in summer 🥲🤬

Honestly ppl who dont want to go the Prep route, who dont want to break with the "t-shirt and jeans" orthodoxy, should just buy "workwear" from places like Duluth and Dickies. Comfortable, durable, functional clothes that aren't ugly. Get shirts and pants in multiple colors, then mix-and-match.

Omg. The solution to oversized jeans is not skinny jeans- it’s normal jeans.

Just accept that we will never again be able to buy jeans that are basically leg shaped with a little bit of room

Daring choice to hang a giant watch off the front of his soccer kit--I'd think that would make running difficult.

As a man with an ass, I am not going back to the boot cuts being the only jeans that fit and end up looking like I'm wearing temu bellbottoms.

Not sure how else to say this but my legs are way too muscular for skinny jeans to work, the fact that Menswear Guy has given me permission to wear normal sized pants has been a great blessing, I refuse to go back

The men in my family (husband and 2 boys now in their mid 20s) are tall and lean but they have big quads. I remember going with my son to get pants, and he could barely get the skinny fit (which he really wanted) over his knee. We laughed so hard we cried.

I can’t even wear normal jeans I always choose the slightly wider cuts

Me too. Any skinny jean that makes it over my leg has a waist about 6 inches too big.

Similar vibes here. Mine is athletic leisure from the mid-1900s. Won't catch me in the baggy shorts that have come back in style, no way!

I'm so confused, isn't there an entire middle ground between skinny jeans and baggy jeans....or are men's pants not like that. My husband doesn't wear jeans so I really don't know 😂

Also some bootcut fits, if you want a break but like the fit in the thighs and ass.

@dieworkwear.bsky.social 's advocacy of wider pants was liberating. I did the skinny jean thing, I have run the race, I have done my time. No more.

Levi's 501s, a T-shirt, and Chuck Taylors have been my daily uniform for a long long time, and I feel ok about that.

505s are better but I don't have the confidence to walk around with a half open fly.
