Baggy or skinny pants?
post #1

I was at a Banana Republic and was trying on a pair of jeans one size larger for comfort. One of the fitting room ladies said tighter (but not too tight) is better because baggy makes you look shorter. What kind of pants fit do you go for?

Fitted is in. I wouldn't go skinny because I think it's uncomfortable and looks corny if you're over 25. Then again, do what you like. Different strokes for different folks.

Fitted is perfect. If you wear too baggy, you look shorter and chubby. If you wear fitted you appear longer and leaner. I have skinny legs so I look ridiculous when I wear baggy jeans.

Somewhere between comfortable ant fitted is what I like. Nothing too tight or too baggy.

I honestly prefer my pants looser but with jeans, it does make me look short. I wear mostly sweats though.

My fiance likes his jeans tight. He has thick legs so he can pull it off even though he is only 5'7.

I like my pants baggy, and it may or may not make me look shorter but I can't stand having pants riding up my area. Not fun!

I go for relaxed fit. They are in between fitted and baggy.

Loose fitted all the way. Forget about how tall or short baggy makes you "look" (which I believe is crap anyway). A pair of baggy pants will make you look like you think it's still 1995.

Skinny jeans, but not too tight. The coconuts have to breathe.

Skinny Ties vs Normal Ties on shorter men.

For us shorter guys, I'm thinking, what looks better aesthetically?

Is there a general rule for this? Is it size related (i.e. height/weight), or more clothing type and event related?

What are your thoughts?

Do skinny jeans/tight jeans make you feel shorter?

I am not sure what it is, maybe my body type, but I feel shorter when I wear tighter jeans. I always wear relaxed fit because of it but the last few years it has been a struggle to find my size in them because "skinny jeans" are still in right now.

Skinny ties are THE look

If you're short and have a nice physique, skinny ties would be a good look for you. I get mine from Express and online. Imagine yourself in a suit and a nice v shape frame. You will kill it!
