What's with the "dirty jeans" look?

[GoddessOfGuinness]

I went out to buy some new jeans for Mr GoG today, and most of the stuff left on the shelves looked like it had been used to treat sewage before they put it out for sale. I can't find a pic of the wash...it looks like dark blue jeans that got streaked with nasty brown stuff.

I can understand why the worn look, within reason, appeals to folks; why would anybody want to look like their clothes stink? :shrug:

1. I dunno either.

They look like you've rolled around in crap before walking out. :shrug:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

6. Exactly...

Even on the rack, they look like they must smell like a porta-potty.

2. i'm serious, we went through macy's and there were ratty old jeans...

on the racks with thread bare holes all over the knees for over $65, what is up with that x(

[GoddessOfGuinness]

8. I just threw away a pair of Levis with the seat ripped out...

You mean I could have sold them?!? :rofl:

[bridgit]

11. bhwahaha, oh yes ma'am, and for a bunch o'bucks too...

:rofl: :thumbsup:

3. That "style" has been around for the past couple of years.

I hate it! If I want to wear jeans that look like that, I'll just put on a pair I already have and rub dirt all over them!

[GoddessOfGuinness]

10. Maybe they're for people who work underneath cars all day...

so the stains won't matter...

[SeattleGirl]

23. There you go!

Except I kind of doubt that's the case.....

[no name no slogan]

25. Or for people with incontinence problems

that way if you crap your pants,... oh nevermind :P

[Derailer]

26. whats it to you if I shit my pants

[maxsolomon]

4. so you don't look like a GOP goober

embrace it! or maybe you'd prefer:



9" zippers & extra pleats!

[GoddessOfGuinness]

15. Just plain jeans would be fine...

Sturdy, practical pants... :-)

[MrSlayer]

5. It's hideous isn't it?

And people mock the two tone and acid wash of the 80's.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

18. I guess it's like the Emperor's New Clothes...

They'll toss any old crap at you if you're willing to believe it's cool.

7. I have one pair like that, but they were very cheap for Levis

so I decided to get them anyway.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

19. I've bought stuff just because it was cheap before...

Just so I'd have something to do yard work in that wouldn't be a total rag.

[AirmensMom]

9. They are horrible.

:puke: No need for a pic -- I think most people know what they look like. Just nasty.

[kiraboo]

12. I just bought a pair of those today.

And I look smokin' hot in them!

Well, not really, but if I don't say it, who will? :shrug:

[Left Is Write]

14. You look smokin' hot in them!

:D

[kiraboo]

16. Thanks my dear. I knew I could count on you!

[GoddessOfGuinness]

21. Well you're one of those rare people

who probably looks smokin' hot in everything! :D

[blondeatlast]

13. You don't have to ruin the manicure to get the life of the working folk!

I despise any "fashion" that costs a fortune but mocks working people.

The "uniform" trend of a year or so ago.
The stupid trucker's caps on multi-million dollar movie stars.
The stupid jeans to which you refer.

I want to tell these brats that if you want to set the trend, SLING BURGERS AT MICKEY D'S!

You'll be the envy of all your friends...

[GoddessOfGuinness]

24. Excellent point...

Too bad they aren't listening to you!

[Wapsie B]

17. Omg that means I'm in style!

Cool. ;-)

[DrGonzoLives]

20. ...and they're expensive as hell

Especially when you could just get some paint and a belt sander and achieve the same effect.

Or throw them in a septic tank.

[xmas74]

22. I've seen them before

and they are nasty. I tend to try to look stylish but that is one trend I cannot follow.
