aussieheels1 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 for many years i'e been wearing high heels and would love the day when it is considered mainstream.... along with this, for many years, i've been wearing women jeans and now teenage boys (in Australia anyway) are actually going to the girls department to get girls jeans to wear as fashion...... now i just hope they all start raiding the female shoes departments as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mckailah Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 If you start to notice that the guys are all raiding the Women's departments, please let me know cause I will move to Australia. Nice to see there is the beginnings of a movement towards equality in fasion.

aussieheels1 Posted July 28, 2008 Author Share Posted July 28, 2008 the movement for guys in women jeans can't just be in australia.... i think it's the whole emo and alternte music scene driving it but there are tonnes of them around.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedesigner Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 well in london i go out in heels, makeup etc, and whatever.... The more of us that do, the more people will take it as fashion not strange.... And then manufacturers will wake up.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vector Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 If that day were to come, I'm not sure how much change we will see from manufacturers as were the ones buying a lot of those styles already. It's just not commonly accepted for "men" to wear them outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn HH Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I agree with Vector. If we do this enough surely, sooner or later, the manufacturers will wake up to the fact that we can really increase their profits appreciably. Money is money no matter whose pocket it comes from. If they don't---it is their loss as it really won't stop us from our way of shopping for ourselves. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!

thedesigner Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 thats what i'm saying, fashion starts in the street.... if we wear heels a lot, openly, somewhere a lightbulb will go on, and the "heels for men" concept will be taken up as mainstream. We will just have to go higher then to "up" the ante..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
high_55 Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 i agree, besides i don't know about you guys, but i have more heels than regular men shoes, i really buy them because i need them, not because i like them, they're always the same, kind of boring, while heels, there are enough designs for every kind of taste.

Dr. Shoe Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Perhaps we'll start to see the "girlfriend" jean in the men's departments soon! Graduate footwear designer able to advise and assist on modification and shoe making projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vector Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Friends, Please understand what I am saying. What I meant was we probably won't see any explosion in larger high heeled styles as, most likely, we're buying most of the shoes in that category right now. We're just not all wearing them outside regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedesigner Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 exactly !! If we wear them out, more people will think "if its good enough for him ,its good enough for me" thats how fashion works ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiQuick Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 What if the whole gender clothing barrier would vanish and clothing wouldn't be labeled as being masculine or feminine? Would the whole attraction of wearing women's clothing still exist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussieheels1 Posted September 15, 2008 Author Share Posted September 15, 2008 there's definitely more and more male teens in Sydney wearing girls jeans.... the only thing I'm disappointed with is that the girls jeans trend is starting to shift to 'Boyfriends' jeans style which means girls jeans will just be like my old men jeans ... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boots4ever Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 when skinny jeans came up, I started to think more about fit and not about male/female. And when you look to brands like american apparel, Cheap Monday or April77, there is no female or male anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hhboots Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Just recently got my first pair of Women's Levi's (stretch & boot cut), and I really love the look. They fit me so much better than men's jeans and they don't look too feminine, which is great. I am definitely getting several more of these in the near future.

thedesigner Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 going back a few posts, "if heels became mainstream, would they still have the same appeal", the answer is yes, i wear heels etc cos i like them, and not to be different. We would simply outdo each other on height and style.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thighbootguy Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I don’t think I own a pair of men’s jeans. All my jeans are women’s or junior’s, sizes 12 through 16 (yeah, the 12’s are a little tight but the 16s are a little loose ), bootcut to tight around the ankle. Thrift stores are a great source for jeans. If you can find your size, over time, there is a great variety and I’ve never liked going out in a brand new pair of jeans anyway, I prefer the broken in look. The most conservative way to wear heeled thigh boots is over jeans, that combination always looks good. I dream of a world where chickens can cross roads without having their motives questioned.

HappyFeat Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I have become quite a regular at the local Lane Bryant store as I have mentioned in a few posts. Well, one time out heeling I stopped at LB and the clerk asked if I ever tried their "Right Fit" line. She measured my and gave me a pair to try. I LOVED them. I now own the boot cut, flair and trouser styles- all in tall because the longer length is perfect with heels. I plan on getting them in average length as well. The clerk also told me that many men wear them and when I go into th store wearing them, she always points it out to other customers! Here is a link to their site and info on the "Right Fit" jeans:http://www.lanebryant.com/pagebuilder/right_fit_landing_page Style is built from the ground up!
