take a chance

don’t get me wrong, i’m not over boot cut jeans. i still think they’re a good choice for pretty much every guy, but some guys aren’t comfortable with a flared bottom, no matter how slight. one thing i’ve learned recently is if you can pull off a relatively close fitting pair of jeans (and not all of us can, it’s ok) that a slightly, i repeat slightly, tapered at the bottom can make you look even slimmer and taller. a boon for us short guys!
i’ve tried g-star’s radar narrow and love ‘em, but they’re tough to find for a good price. so i was browsing refinery 29 for some dressier clothes to show y’all and stumbled onto a sale on steve alan slim jeans. the shop says they’re “the sleekest, narrow cut that’s not too skinny.” so i’m hoping that our squat-enhanced asses fit into them, but i have never tried a pair on. that’s right, i’m recommending them sight unseen because they’re a good price, a good finish, and they look like a good cut. if you decide to bite the bullet and try these out, be sure to let us know how they work!
the gStar brand has become waytoo dieseled, and the RAW thing brags bareback… these days gStars make great cuttoffs.
dunderdon gives great butt, as does wrangler… but in this extended era of denim overbranding, classic 501’s continue to rule.
