how many inches are you wearing? I have between 7 and 8.5" laid flat. I usually like wearing 8" for denim. the extra baggy trendy stuff I see around is probably bigger. the trend is definitely not just college age either... lots of older women are wearing extremely baggy style too.
for men though, going really trendy is almost counter-culture... can look kind of childish unless you're in a hip environment or at young venues or college town. it definitely has not crossed over to regular adult menswear, unlike women's. for example casual friday at an office it is not "mainstream" unlike for women of all ages.... you would get weird looks.
it's interesting to think about, because assimilating with the young folk and their trends is like being the best dressed in their tribe... vs. the appeal of the older high status guy is almost alpha vs. sigma like
@DonGately style wearing suits. I think he would be the more attractive archetype if you met a lone wolf (I think he is NYC, not dealing with isolated college social environment)... it would just stick out like a sore thumb at an 18+ college bar.
boomer.
which makes me wonder, what is the age demographic of this site, anyway?
