True – this gentleman is very much floowing Hedi Slimane’s fine masterwork. The slouchy, super-skinny drainpipes and the slightly devil-may-care aesthetic… Very cool.
not too fond of this look…always a BIG fan of inexpensive canvas bags that say something esoteric or kitschy… He has the demure and keeps the straight sullen face that makes his ensemble rock. good find.
As soon as I started seeing boys like this trolling billyburg and the L.E.S recently, I traded in my favorite pair of skinny jeans that I’ve been wearing the last three years for a pair of full-fitting 45rpms. When Dior and Balenciaga say “Skinny jeans are in!” it’s time to go baggy.
I dig the mulletesqe hairdoo. Very traditional in New York, as mullets were big among the Algonquin “back in the day”. The ear rings could be larger though. I hope more men start dressing like this.
With dark hair it could have been me. I have exactly the same body type. The arms would look much better in a t-shirt with 2/3 or 3/4 sleeves. Just discovered that recently. I just stole them from the womens section …
i can never decide on white jeans. of late, i think i have waited too long because i see them everywhere on the LES. oh well. but i do agree, skinnies are not going anywhere. who would want them to? it’s like a tailored jean.
oh, what a nice looking young fellow! a brave one, at that. most would not carry a canvas tote. to the person above me: emo boys would not look so bright, but rather dress in dark tones!

Erm, is it just me, or is he worryingly underweight? The look has a lovely summery vibe to it, but I just can’t stop looking at his matchstick arms!

Skinny jeans are here to stay. the age of the baggy jeans are plainly for the fat and the ultimate dowdy.

Love that someone is daring enough to wear white jeans. That just doesn’t happen often where I am
And I agree with Jed; skinny jeans are here to stay. In fact, I think they’re the new “normal” jeans (if that even makes sense).

i love how someone said.. “if dior [..] says skinny jeans are in[...]“
you’ve been wearing them for 3 years?
dior homme has been pushing skinny jeans for about the same time frame now.
