What are you wearing today?

[Fuuma]

It's weird, I have a lot of dior jeans but find myself not wearing them much anymore in favor of acne or even cheap monday. The only thing that really dates them that I no longer dig is the length and stacking so I'm considering getting them hemmed...

On the good side of Dior nostalgia, just bought my first pair of Taralis jeans and they are amazing! Cut a lot like dior with a higher waist and the wash reminds me of some of the washes from luster and other early golden collections.

I loved some of the Dior washes but the distressing on the back was waaayy too low on my legs (and even on the legs of the runway models so...) is Taralis the same?

I know Zam has a lot of good WAYWT submissions but I really like this and I like the fact that he can smile in his photos and the smile doesn't look out of context or out of place with the clothing.

One of my favorites.

Fumma i wondered what your thoughts are on A.P.C jeans ? how the cut is compared to dior. Or have you got any experience with Helmut jeans?

I just bough a used pair of A.P.C off ebay; becuase i wanted a light pair of jeans all faded and washed for the summer. I am waiting to see how they are when they arrive. Basically i look for a jean with a regular waist and rise ( i hate a short rise) , narrow hip, and super straight leg... dior seems to be the thing that fits the best for myself but these days i dont want to pay £300-£400, but i will if there is nothing else.

But fumma i might check out Uniqulo... the ones your wearing look like a good cut & i think you and i are a similar size. I like margiela jeans but the mens are always too big and the womens are womens.

Pretty much the only jean i wear is dior, saying that iv not bought a pair for about 3 years. Even then i still wear the most are jeans i have had since 05.
I was recently looking at levis vintage, they have some beautiful washes but the cut is not right for me. I really like their basics tees and sweatshirts even though the price is high, they seems to suit perfectly for what i want to wear in the summer.

Prada-era Helmut Lang jeans have a low rise, tight thighs and a slim straight leg.

This feels more like a small questions thing but I'll help you out. I used to wear a lot of APC jeans and I had pairs from the old and new lines. Here's the breakdown:

Standard and New Standard: Almost note for note like the 21cm with the exception that the Standard has a really high rise and flat, as opposed to tilted, waistband. Like Marlon Brando pants.

New Cure: Same rise as the New Standard but the leg is really tapered and the result is that it doesn't really fit like any of the Dior jeans. In spite of the somewhat relaxed top block my NC are the skinniest of my skinny jeans.

Cure: Doesn't fit like the New Cure at all. Pretty similar to the 19cm but you aren't likely to find any.

Petit Standard: Super low rise, maybe similar to the 17.5cm but I don't find either of those fits appealing so I've never even bothered to flirt with them.

M-M,

Balenciaga jeans fit almost like 19 cms but with a higher waist. Nice washes, good details. Essaye

Patroklus> New Standard is way slimmer than the 21cms I think.

[messenoire]

correct me if i'm wrong but i heard somewhere along the line hedi liked the cut of apc's so much he modeled the dior 19cm after them. also was there a version of apc that used dior denim? i want to say it's recent with their black raw denim.
i have a pair of new cure's that i wear as my goto fuck around jean when i can get things dirty and dont care about messing them up. at a fraction of the price of my other jeans i have no problem messing them up. also the good thing about apc is that they truly do get better the more you wear and abuse them. i am into roughly 2 years with my new cures, i'm skinny, and they have a lot of life left.

That about Hedi modelling 19cm's after APC's is indeed true. I think it was the Cures cut that brought this about.

Christian the CCP's hitman look suits you so great everytime you do this.

Probably one of the last nights cold enough to wear leather. Might as well jump.

[Patroklus]

How hot does it get there? I find myself wearing leather pretty far into summer, and I don't even have a fetish for it.

Beardown, have you just dona Highlander?
