New alt trend: Dipping 80% ur jeans into a huge tub of paint
Photo by Easy Fashion Paris


I recently saw this alt QT wearing a really interesting pair of jeans. At this point, there isn't really much left to do with jeans. They've been baggy, skinny, paintery, wideleggy, bootleggy, and even JNCO-wave. It seems like the era of finding a 'classy way' to customize your jeans is upon us. While rich women opt to 'bejewel'/'bling' some designs on the butt pockets of their jeans, alternative ppl need a way to 'keep it authentic' without breaking the bank.

I think that 'dipping ur jeans into a huge tub of paint' seems like an authentic way 2 individualize ur jeans.

I went to talk to Steve, my personal paint mixer who works at Home Depot. He's a super good guy, and is actually thinking about transferring to the Lowe's that opened up towards the new outer-edge of suburbia.

He said this project was TOTALLY DO-ABLE, and all I had to do was pick my own colour [via swatch samples]

I went ahead and took a pair or my Old Navy Painter's jeans, just to sort of exist as a metaphor for the dying medium of 'painting' as artists just try to 'go viral' with modern media.

Honestly, u can dip anything in paint. Feels really liberating to be on the 'bleeding edge' of this new trend.

I remember when 'faded jeans' used 2 be branded as 'alt'/'lamestreamer edgy.' U can only wonder if manufacturers are going 2 take this trend to the next level.

Would yall rather wear painted jeans or painter's jeans?
Will this be a relevant alt trend?
Do yall ever 'paint kewl designs on ur jeans'?
What makes 'cool jeans'?
Do u have 'faded', 'wide legged', 'skinny', or cargo-wave jeans?
Are painter's jeans the 'Helvetica' of jeans? [via 'perfect']
Is this dipped jeans girl 'totally keut'?
Should I buy some fondue fountains and have a paint dipping partie?

The Widest Legs Alive [via wide legged jeans]


Can some1 PLZ tell me the difference between:

  • wide legged jeans
  • boot cut jeans
  • standup comedian jeans
  • stepdad jeans
  • painter's jeans
  • 'normal people jeans'
  • 'jeans with a loop for your hammer'
  • cargo jeans
  • 'bell bottomed' jeans
  • JNCOs

Who wears them? Are they all made from the same material, or are JNCOs made from the skin of innercity victims of youth gang violence? Is it cool to have your shoes hidden by a barrier of blue jeans?

But seriously yall... what's the difference between all these jeans?

"That is all."
-fggts who say 'that is all' bc they are s0 random

Editor's Correction

In a post entitled "Are 'normal people jeans' going to be fashionable in 2k9?" the blogger Carles referred to the jeans seen in the picture below as being called 'normal people jeans.'

It has come to the blog's attention that these jeans have been named already.
Two options for the naming of this style of jeans include:
1) standup comedian jeans
2) stepdad jeans

For example, here is a standup comedian (and possibly a stepdad), Jay Mohr:

What do u wanna call these jeans?
What is the best name for this type of jeans?

Levi's designs new skinny jeans called "ex-girlfriend jeans"


Levi's is a popular mainstream / alternative jeans + denim company that makes various styles of jeans for all types of humans. Fat, skinny. Alt, mainstream. Bros, broads. Tweens, grown ass men. Anyways, we're living in the modern consumer landscape where retailers have to 'memefy' their products in order to drive traffic to their website. Levi's created the Ex-Girlfriend Jean just 2 ride the hipster bashing alt blog meme wave.

INFOGRAPHIC: Old Navy lies abt the waist sizes of their jeans 2 make fat ppl feel skinny


It's soooo hard 2 find a pair of jeans that fits me because I am a woman who is transforming into a pear-shaped body/because I am a bro who is 'starting to drink tons of brewskies every night.' I used to wear Levis skinny jeans, but now I am 'fat as hell' and just searching for something that fits comfily around my big ol belly/rapidly expanding midsection. Pants that can comfortably help me waddle my 'fat ass' 2 my fourth meal on time.

Glad I found this chart so that I can buy jeans that have a small LISTED waist size, even though my ACTUAL waist size is 'out of control.' Really just helps me [psychologically] to know that my waist size is pretty chill, and that I am 'almost healthy.' Feeling good about myself based on the 'clothes that fit me.' Really hope that by the time I am old, the t-shirt size "XL" is recalibrated and called "S" just to make sure I feel healthy and beautiful.

Really just want to be overweight/obese, but still feel 'skinny' according to my jean size.

Are yall obese or skinny/healthy?

Skinny Jeans save a bro from being found guilty 4 rape


Some bro in Australia was accused of rape, but then they went to court, and the jury was all like 'this is kinda fishy. her pants are really skinny. no way he got those off without a lil bit of cooperation.' Guess they were all like 'she seems like she might be a slut, so maybe the bro isn't a rapist.'

A man was acquitted of rape today after a jury agreed his victim could not have been sexually assaulted while wearing skinny jeans.

Nicholas Gonzales, 23, told a court in Australia that sex with the 24-year-old woman was consensual, despite her claim he had ripped off her size six skinny jeans before the attack.

The Sydney jury sent a note to the judge during the trial asking for more information about 'how exactly Nick took off her jeans'.

The note from a jury member added: 'I doubt those kind of jeans can be removed without any sort of collaboration.'

It seems like the bro's lawyer was an ultimate bro, shifting the burden of the prosecution to 'prove that the victim wasn't a slut.' Feel like maybe they should write a John Grisham book about him, sort of how he crusades to get bros out of rape charges using defenses like 'she was soo drunk', 'she dressed like a slut', and 'u cant rape some1 who is wearing pants' defenses. He will deliver passionate closing statements, turning even the most ardent feminists into 'chill bros who understand that sometimes bros can act with their peen.'

Questioned by defence lawyer Paul Hogan, the woman said she weighed 42 kilograms (6.6 stone) and did not find it difficult to squeeze in and out of her jeans.

Mr Hogan said: 'I'm suggesting it's difficult for skinny jeans to be taken off by someone else unless the wearer's assisting, collaborating, consenting.' 'Ii would disagree,' the woman replied.

Miss Veronica Wensing, chairwoman of the National Association of Services Against Sexual Assault, told the Sydney Morning Herald that a woman's outfit should not be an issue in alleged rapes.

'Any piece of clothing can be removed with force,' she said.
