Will Men Dare to Wear These Really, Really, Ridiculously Low-Rise Jeans?

Will Men Dare to Wear These Really, Really, Ridiculously Low-Rise Jeans?
Rear-end revealing denim at Diesel proves there are still some taboos.




What is the right amount of bottom to expose to the world?

That was the question I found myself asking during the Diesel fashion show in Milan on Wednesday, which concluded with three models (two men and a woman) in jeans slung so low that they revealed a coin-slot size portion of their bum cracks. From the front, you couldn’t see what the jeans revealed, but as the models passed, the audience was treated to not quite a full moon — perhaps a one-eighth moon. To put it delicately, their upper posteriors were well groomed. I left the show wondering if the jeans come with their own personal backside barber.

The moment was a provocation, sure. But, with an item like this, how porous is the line between runway concept and retail reality? Fashion labels have tried the peekabutt pants before. In 1993, Alexander McQueen generated a lot of attention with his Bumster jeans. Mr. McQueen’s south-of-the-Equator pants are an iconic design, if one that wasn’t much worn beyond the red carpet or the runway. And it should be said that Mr. McQueen displayed them on women.

Designers have hazarded male bumsters before. In 2015, the British label Sibling presented its cheeky “bum freezer” pants on men. Last year, the French designer Ludovic de Saint Sernin created “butt cleavage” leather pants for men. Neither design seems to have ever hit stores.

1. Those aren't low-rise jeans; they're just ridiculously oversized. NT

2. Aren't they just the 'skinny' jeans teens and 20-somethings have been wearing for years?

The operative words being 'teens and 20-somethings' as no one other than that cohort should try them.

3. Plumbers Cut jeans

4. I think most men (and women) would prefer pants that allow them

to bend over without offering up a full moon. Fashion shows come up with weird clothes that nobody wears in real life.

5. Lol, Held Up By A Hard-On?

That shit's hilarious!

6. If my plumber looked like this maybe I wouldn't mind seeing his butt crack.

The plumber I hire to do work, is overweight and unattractive.
His butt crack attire leaves a lot to be desired.

7. It's the slopping down of decorum - not that formal decorum is vital.

The American male uniform, a baseball hat on backwards, a rumpled plaid shirt, crappy jeans and old worn sneakers. Not that there’s anything wrong with that 😜. I remember the days when families dressed up for church - long gone. I remember the days when you would look nice going to a supper club for dinner - not any more. Along with the many additional mores’ that have slipped into oblivion, admittedly some for the better, it’s a testament to the fact that times change, often not for the better.

So, in conclusion to this ridiculous post, remember the words of the great band, Z Z Top ……
“Women go crazy for a sharp dressed man.”
