SF Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 I have several pair of Gloria Vanderbilt gals jeans that I wear with my heels. They and comfy, stretchy and a tad bit shorter than guys pants which allows more of the heel to be showing. Makes for a nice look. Depending on what I am doing, I much prefer gals jeans to my guys jeans. Have fun.... sf 2 "Why should girls have all the fun!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started out by wearing boot cut or bell bottom jeans as I felt more secure hiding my heels but as my comfort level grew I never wore them again. I was going to toss them out or make cutoffs out of them when I realized they would be great for doing yard work in. They have lots of stretch & the flare helps keeps the debris out of my shoes.

Shyheels Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Because my boots tend to be knee or OTK styles I prefer skinny jeans. Fortunately I have legs that allow me to get away with this style 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I still keep a few pairs around because they appear to be coming back into style again, and while I do like to show my heels, there is a certain charm in taking a cloak and dagger approach, with nothing but little pins showing at the back/bottom of the pants. However, I will never again wear mules with this style. Big logistical problems there! I do not miss that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre1961 Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Interesting! Because I more or less did the same. At first flare jeans: out of fashion, so got rid of them. i tried some baggy pants. Too ugly. then boot cut. That was ok then as I was feeling more secure:levy’s 511 or similar. My preference At present also some boot cut again when the place may not accept too visible heels Next? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 I started out in the hide the heels mode. I think we all do. 33 inch in-seams that left very little of the heel exposed. After purchasing thigh high and knee high boots, hiding them under my pants just wasn't right, the look was completely wrong. And why have these gorgeous boots and hide them anyway. So I went to a Levi's store and tried on men's skinny jeans and women's skinny jeans. The women's 311 fit so much better. I also like their 311 corduroy pants. These are low rise, so I had to get creative on where to put my stuff: keys, etc. The 311's are 30 inch in-seams. I have several versions of Express jeans. Some with 28 inch inseams, but with boots the shorter the better. I have some HighFlex, and super soft types. And now have some high waist jeans. Leggings and heels once in a while too. And I wear my skinny jeans with my Steve Madden clogs all the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Levi's sales associates know which women jeans that men buy. You wont be the first nor the last man to purchase women's jeans Look youngster, aka, @pebblesf, this older dad body uses leggings as my base layer when skiing. After a day on the slopes, I take off the top layer of ski clothing and exchange the ski boots for heels. I drive to where ever I go in the leggings (and heels). Check in at hotels, stop at stores on the way home, etc. Today I have a pedicure and have leggings on. They are easier to pull up the leg since I get a foot and leg message as part of the pedicure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mlroseplant Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 I finally succumbed to pressure, and got some high waisted jeans. Well, that's what the ad said. I think they are normal waist, but certainly the zipper is longer than most of my other jeans,although the waistband is still a ways away from my belly button. I have yet to get a picture, so I'll have to let you know, but my feeling is that they probably flatter me, because I have really short legs, and the higher waist brings things more into proportion.

bluejay Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Guys, don't be afraid to wear leggings. I do and even with an older body, I still get lots of compliments wearing them from the ladies. My wife and I even have some matching pairs of leggings. I'm anxiously waiting for warmer weather so I can wear my capri leggings which really shows off your heels. So as SF says why should gals have all the fun. And BTW, I like my women's jeans. GV to be exact and I have them in regular length, crop length and capri length.

mlroseplant Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 I know this is supposed to be about jeans, but we've taken a left turn. The problem I have with leggings is that unless I wear something very long on top, I feel like I'm showing people something they really don't need to see. The only place where this seems to be acceptable in polite society is at the ballet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluejay Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 When I wear my leggings I make sure that I wear a longer top as not to show off anything. I and my wife don't have any problem with that. That's my feeling on this matter. Happy Heeling, bluejay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SF Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Never tried leggings, they just don't look comfortable, but my apparently perception is probably in error. Plus the wife is not to excited about me wearing leggings. I used to run a lot, now I just walk (a lot). I see many folks, guys and gals, in leggings so based on what I see and posts here, there must be something to it, maybe? Might be fun to try. Now all I have to do is convince the wife. Will see. Have fun in your leggings. sf 2 "Why should girls have all the fun!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 @Shyheels, some bike shorts are more revealing than leggings. There is a whole gamete of legging, from very thin to jegging which are basically thin pants. I have them all and wear them all. I use legging as a base layer when skiing and on very cold stormy days I might have two pair on. I use them when I kayak, I have some with ankle zippers and I unzip when I load and unload. If I tip over, they wont fill with water Some leggings have texture, like the ones I have on today. I have wore these out in public many times. Leggings are just comfortable skinny pants. But be careful @SF, you may like them then you will have to really convince your wife. Does she wear leggings? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlroseplant Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 I am not sure when gametes came into the conversation, but I am fairly sure that it is bordering on prohibited discussion on this forum. 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 (edited) Leggings have made their way into mainstream men's fashion. If you Google "men's leggings" you will get thousand of results. Many of the athletic/sports companies now sell these. The compression legging are very popular with athletes. And some of the women's legging manufactures have come out with "unisex" and male leggings. So don't be afraid of leggings.

Pumped Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 I was wearing leggings 35 years ago when I would go for a run. I didn't cover them up like some guys do. I let the bulge show! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of a few of us, and I might say a few of you, you will never see a guy at the grocery store or the mall wearing leggings. I don't know exactly why that is, but there is my prediction. Running? Yes. Wearing in real life? Hard no. Except for 3. There is the possibility that Mike Myers singlehandedly ruined the whole thing for us. https://tenor.com/bh5td.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
