New Fashion Trend - Men Wearing Women's Jeans

[matcom]

<snip>

A couple of months ago, Kris Birch decided it was time to buy himself some jeans.

Instead of heading to the men's section at Fashion Square Mall's Pac Sun, which he manages, the 20-year-old Essexville resident bought a pair of women's jeans.

And he felt no shame.

"It wasn't a big deal at all," Birch said. "You were seeing it around a lot already by then."

A fashion trend is directing young men -- early teens to early 20s -- toward the opposite side of the store, where they're buying girls' and women's pants.

Birch said he bought his pants to accommodate his bike-riding lifestyle. Women's jeans typically make for a tighter fit around the legs.

"It's not so baggy, so it doesn't get caught in the chain," Birch said. "It makes it easier to flow. I have a lot of them now."

The fashion move started to gain momentum about six months ago, said Troy Darling, a 24-year-old store manager at Hollister in Fashion Square.

"It's a new punk rock sort of thing," said Darling, who lives in Saginaw. "We definitely see it a lot now."

2. My H.S. friend once wore his sister's jeans to school.

His mom had put them in his drawer by mistake, and he just put them on in a rush one morning without thinking about it.

His nickname for years after that was "Gloria". (Vanderbilt)
