Totally. That and no Uggs.

I'm sorry but girls in Uggs and leggings are perfect

 

[flippymittens]

No, just no.

White jeans belong on girls.

That is sexist...
Yay if you want to TC

With the northface jacket...daaamn

 

[AlexMogil]

That looks so bad I don't know where to start.

 

[SmithnCo]

I say nay.

 

[Kozak]

I think that sort of white jeans look fine.

No I couldn't find a better pic :\

 

[Conciliator]

White jeans is a really tough sell. There are people on the planet who have made them work, and you could be one of them. But there are not very many.

If you're going to go in, go all in - please do not buy 'relaxed fit' white jeans(does anyone even make that?). Unless you happen to be James Murphy.

White chinos/slacks are fine when applied properly.

 

[def sim]

I'm not a fan, but if you really want to, I hope you bought slim fit pants. Anything larger would make you an awful person.

floppy white jeans ugh

 

[GhostWriter24]

good job winning the superbowl that year

oh wait playing against us IS your superbowl

Good job losing to yet another NY team when the lights shine brightest =)

But seriously, the right man can pull of white jeans easily. It's all about their overall style.

 

[SolKane]

I think it can be done right, but you really have to know what you're doing. I know I'm not the guy to do it. If you're not sure, better take your ass back to Bealls and get those girls at customer service to give you some store credit.

 

[Devolution]

Then they are boots.

Heh. Perfect answer.

 

[ajf009]

I'm surprised it's pretty split on the opinions, i thought it would go one way or the other

 

[The Technomancer]

Jeans? No. I can rock some white Khakis though.

Fashion Blog showing proper use of white jeans

I think that looks great. If you have the right build and are confident in how your clothes fit you, no reason you can't wear white jeans. I didn't even know it was such a big deal.

 

[Akibastman]

Never.

I'll admit to knowing nothing about fashion but that whole outfit looks horrible to me :/.

 

[Banglish]

Only, if you're mothafucking baws.

 

[ScreenSplitter]

As someone who eats a lot of bolognese, no. Never.

 

[Mrs. Manky]

White jeans can look good on anyone.

But they are completely and totally impractical. One little dirt scuff...

 

[Dennis]

White jeans - NO!

White pants - fine

 

[Baconsammy]

Sure, but not during my special time of the month.

Spoiler

Bean Burrito week

 

[entremet]

Yes, especially in the summer. White pants of all kinds are awesome.

 

[Polk]

Linen yes, jeans no.

 

[Henchmen21]

What are you guys on about. Jeans are jeans. I used to own some white jeans back in the 90's. They were loose fitting though not these tight ones you see now. They were great because they had lots of pockets to fit soda cans in.

 

[Air]

I have a pair. I look 1000x sexier with them.

 

[entremet]

Linen yes, jeans no.

Jeans too, if cut well. With a nice chambray work shirt. Though I not big into bright white. I prefer off white or cream for jeans.

 

[kinoki]

Heck, even Mario can pull it off and he's a over-weight italian plumber dating royalty. But seriously, sure, why not; just dress it up properly.

I was going to say that the only thing that looks good in that picture is the street, but then I remembered it had that guy in those awful clothes walking on it.

I have a pair, I rock them.

Freddie Mercury made it work but most people can't.

They look like suburban vikings.

 

[dralla]

Not for me, I stick to white chinos if I want white pants

Different strokes, etc.

Whether you like the style or not is irrelevant. The question was whether guys can wear white jeans. The answer is of course. You can wear whatever you want.

Actually the OPs question was on gaf's opinion on whether or not white jeans are acceptable on men.

 

[SteeloDMZ]

If they are skinny jeans, kill them with fire. It they are loose or baggy, they could look good depending on your style.

 

[Alucrid]

i'm afraid of other men wearing skinny jeans

Whether they're acceptable or not depends solely on whether you want to wear them

i'm afraid of other men wearing skinny jeans

Not a fan myself. I feel constricted when I see a dude wearing those.

Skinny jeans:

Slim fitted jeans:

 

[johnsmith]

I can't understand gaf. You guys are against skinny or even slim jeans but pro white jeans? You're not going to find relaxed fit white jeans, you know.

Will Ferell is the only man since Freddie Mercury able to appropriately rock them.

what?

hardly anyone in this thread is pro white jeans. in the fact ones who are are probably the ones in favor of skinny jeans as well...you know, like me.

 

[rCIZZLE]

skinny white jeans earn you bonus hipster points

I find both visually repulsive with the only people being able to rock them being models or celebrities... the type of people that can make anything look good.

that type of thinking is so stupid

 

[strobogo]

I'm not a fan of white pants on anyone, male or female. I think it is an 80s thing that should stay there. White shorts on girls is different, but white jeans...never.

 

[Mariolee]

I'm fine with girls wearing them, but I think they look extremely odd on guys.

well that's just a piss poor picture. skinny in your sense would be like the asian guy with the came jacket in my first post. skinny in my sense, as in apc's new standard being the 'original skinny jean' would be more like the rest of those pictures.
