Stylefinder: Men’s Carrot Fit Jeans

Kathy Ng Hassan — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 13:00:07 +0000

Contrary to popular belief, men also have trouble finding the right fit, when it comes to jeans. Thanks to the denim industry, a multitude of fits have been conceived to break open the shackles of boring, constrained male silhouettes. Consider the Carrot fit jeans: built roomy in the thigh area, dropped crotch, and tapered down to a straight leg. Depending on the cut of the jean, a man with muscular thighs can carry the carrot jeans off like a slim or straight leg, without cutting off circulation. Warning: if you are on the short side, look for Carrot fit jeans that begin the taper above the knees. If the thigh is too baggy, your thighs will look bigger, unless that’s the look you were going for.

Daddy Does Denim

Nikki Cho Russo — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 14:00:20 +0000

There is a lot of heavy breathing, panting and some hog wild screaming. Why? Because daddy is lying on the floor trying to zip up his pants and he can’t get up! Enough is enough and it is the perfect occasion to put daddy out of his misery. His jeans are either too tight, too big, too faded, or so dated that it actually makes mommy jeans look good. How is that even possible?

Father’s Day is only eleven days away and every man could use a good pair of denim jeans. In fact, don’t we all? Come with me on a jean journey to turn you’re sugar daddy into the king of the hill with some great fashionable jeans.
