    A guy has to be fairly slender to pull them off (i.e. underweight). I'm willing to bet that most of them get sold to women like me who prefer to keep their underwear hidden.

    Ragu,

    Sounds like you need to look for the red-label Levi's 550 or 560 jeans.

    All I wear are the 560s. Mainly because my fat ass and Kirby Puckett thighs can't get into a size 40 pair of 550s.

    The jeans I wear are Levi's 560s. Fit great.

    33 waist, 34 inseam. A little loose around the thighs, but nothing too gangsta. Look like normal jeans.

    To me, there is nothing sexier on a man than a pair of Levis, black or white tshirt, and a camel or black sport coat.

    Men in designer jeans (ESPECIALLY brands that were originally made for women, ie, Seven, True Religion), trying WAY TOO HARD.

    I want to see the man, not his clothes. (Yes, I know, that sounds extremely wrong if you take it that way....just work with me here).

    Yeah, I'm a t-shirt and jeans girl: I like to see guys dressed like that, and they better appreciate me dressed like that.

    Any man who even knows what True Religion jeans are isn't for me.

    Bingo. I ended up buying a pair of regular fit 550s (they are the ones with the zipper, not the button fly right? Hate those stupid button fly jeans). Still, even in those 550s, there were about 4 or 5 different styles, including the ones with the waist that hangs way too low.

    Do you look like Uma Thurman? You sound exactly like my wife. If I'm in a t-shirt and my levis she almost always fires a you're-sexy compliment at me.

    I throw on a snazzy button down shirt from Eddie Bauer with a pair of slacks and she's unimpressed. :-\

    I feel sorry for women trying to fit in some of today's so-called fashion. It can't be easy. I wouldn't be surprised if most of it goes down in history as fashion disaster. I remember an editor at a weekly, a late-thirty/early forty-something slamming the bejesus out of the trends. She was right.

    Glad to hear that some women do think some guys try too hard. Outside the office, I'm jeans and T-shirts all the way, sometimes shorts. But I seem to overdo the standard fare at the office ... the occasional time I need to throw on slacks and a nice shirt, I seem to get my fair share of nice things said. I find it a bit embarrassing, though I do appreciate the kind words.

    My wife is actually pretty happy she gets to escape some of the fashion trends by wearing a white coat at work and that open-toed shoes are outlawed in her office because of hygene reasons.

    I've given the speech to the 22 and smokin hot intern as well. I tell them that if they want to be taken seriously in the profession, they have to dress the part. They can't dress like the party girl and think that people aren't going to hold it against them. It may not be right, but it happens.

    I've had students/interns react many different ways. Some refuse to change, which is fine as long as they understand the possible repercussions. Others make adjustments and usually end up doing well.

    The beautiful girls who dress classy usually end up doing well for themselves.

    Interesting story...one thing about being a man, is that unless you get cute with the shirt/tie combo, as long as you have a dark suit, nice white shirt and serious-looking tie, you're all good. Just open up that suit and get in -- as long as the suit fits, of course.

    However, some places change their styles all the time, so that the same size doesn't fit the same way year-to-year, which is frustrating.

    A female friend suggested I go for the "boot cut" jeans from Eddie Bauer. They arrived, and while they basically fit, and I liked the way the legs flared a little at the bottom, I couldn't handle the risk of showing off my crack to the world, because they don't make "long rise/boot cut," so I sent them back. One guy in my building, who has the "hipster" look down pat, could stand to lose 20 pounds, and has his rolls on display all the time. I can't stand it.
