Im obsessed with hardware on clothing- yes…a zipper is considered hardware. But ive seen jeans like this before and Ive feel in love with every pair Ive seen. I like black denim better though ! The army print sneakers are from Creative Recreation. Im not a big fan of creative rec`s- but ever since Muiccia did the army print in different colors- Ive been obsessed. Great pics-random yes ! but very Now! est Tre` jolie !

I like it too. Creativity is alive and sporty in this style and elsewhere. Stylish fun in denim. Why not? Guys wearing tight, skinny jeans? May not be so good for the anatomy (:), but it sure looks good and guys should wear loose as well as tight pants. It's all good.
Camille
February 20, 2011 at 6:50 pm
I don't think it's really a 'thing', but more that it's difficult to hem pants like that without removing the zipper. The flip is thus the other solution!

I've had a pair of jeans with zippers for some years now… I wonder how I never thought of flipping them???? Definitely going to try that as soon as possible :)) I just love these pictures!

I love it. Just get a cheap pair of Levi's or Uniqlo skinnies, get a $3.50 zipper in the garment district, and get a $15 tailoring job done at Stanton Tailor Shop in the LES. I can't wait to do this when I drop by the city next.

Great during the spring/summer.. but I wouldn't want to be one of many people wearing this style. If everyone is doing it, it wouldn't be as cool.

February 20, 2011 at 11:02 pm
In my opinion, jeans should have maximum 1 zipper. Not a fan. It probably has become a trend because of that post from back in August.

Not very attractive or inventive, just looks like someone bought jeans at the Goodwill store that were too long and they are too lazy to cut them and cuff them, same for the shoes….not a good look

I hope not. Along the same lines as the double tongue sneaker from the 80's. Completely extraneous.

As long as it chases away the highwater silly-ness then I will accept it for the four months of fad that it will be.
Looks much better on the low-top shoes with no sock. Def, a summer look. With the big coat and the socks and the hardness of the camo, looks silly.

Hmm, I don't know really. To me it's a sign of summer. In the spring, the mornings are cold, so we dress in jeans. However, later in the day, it gets warmer, and if we're near a beach we often go wading in the water. To avoid getting our jeans wet, we fold the bottom up.

February 21, 2011 at 9:40 am
Haha its more of a "thing" for short people who can't hem their favorite jeans to actually fit their non-amazonian legs since they have zippers on the bottom :P

The second photo is perfection. I feel like I know the man just by his clothing choices. It looks so effortless. I feel like this is a hard look to pull off. A thing no, but a look a few can pull off…yes. I think trying to pull it off and not is an epic failure, but doing it like this… so successful.

I was making zip flips back in 1995/1996. Then others in my school started doing it. I also was the first to do the cut down the back to make you're jeans go over your shoes. Everyone copied that from me as well at school. I like this zip on these skinny pants. Makes a great conversion for spring/summer pants.

In my case it has always being a thing! I'm too tiny and I love zipper pants! so there is no other option than to flip them up! Probably those are shots of really petite people like me. You see petite people develop very original styles because petite lines are always horrendous so we have no other way around but to adapt tall people's garments in to our tiny world! x

I have a pair. They are awesome cos the way you wear it depends on the mood you are in.
Cold and astute: Zip it up.
Nonchalant: Unzip it.
Hot and bothered: Fold it and Zip it
Semi formal: Semi zip and allow the folds above shoes.
