And, at least around here, the fit of the jeans. Guys wear them
ridiculously over-sized and baggy,
And hanging half way down the *rse in London - I swear some of them will
fall down as there is no waist and hips to stop them.
and gals wear them ridiculously tight!
but showing builder's b*ms and thongs - lovely
No way to
confuse the two.
Notice also that different subsets of the jeans-wearing population wear
them differently. Old Hippies might still want them embroidered where
their kids want them machine embroidered (a recent trend). Construction
crews want them with many pockets and maybe with paint on them. Punks want
them with studs, paint, safety pins, and artificial rips. Kids into Grunge
want more natural rips. Female kids into the sexy look might want
rhinestones with the machine embroidery, while their male counterpart will
want their jeans oversized and dragging on the ground, possibly with Rap
logos or graffiti on them. Businessmen, on casual clothing days, want them
really clean, maybe with cuffs. Cowboys, real or imagined, like them tight
and with straight legs. 30-something women, and middle-aged women who
weren't Hippies, don't necessarily want the Levi look with double-stitched
seams done in orange thread. And the latest thing here (near San
Francisco) seems to be jeans with the hems about a foot off the ground.
