imblurred, tight pants can look good but it's possible you don't realize your legs happen to be very slim? The tight pants accentuate that and draw attention to that particular facet of your physique, one that you may NOT want to draw attention to. So it's not the tight pants that are the issue, but imo, they just don't compliment your physique.
Almost everyone has some sort of body issue, yours is easily fixable with some resistance training so that's actually good news. Can't fix my scarred up hairy chest, lol...
edit: actually you'd fit right in as a male model for SL...

I intended no harm with any of my comments, didn't think it was a big deal. Sorry if it offended anyone. Peace.
Edit: a quote from a somewhat popular designer around here, who basically told everyone to go work out...
“Working out is modern couture. No outfit is going to make you look or feel as good as having a fit body. Buy less clothes and go the gym instead.”

yes, please, lets stick to commenting on how the clothing looks, not how someone should feel about their physique or change it."AVANT GUARDE HIGHEST FASHION.

lowrey, I totally agree that it is a slippery slope but there is definitely a relation between the body and clothes? Especially in imblurred's fit... so if the oufit does not compliment the body is that subject off limits? I think common sense and courtesy would be the general rule but if those kind of comments are off limits I understand as it is likely to offend if not worded thoughtfully.

Scenario: a female with a noticeably fuller figure posts a 'fit wearing a pair of jeans that hug every curve. Do you openly post a suggestion that she might benefit from a little cardio?
"Lose 7 or 8 pounds and I think you'll look better in slim pants". I don't think that would go over so well.
My point is that we remove the element of (perceived) personal attack when we suggest ways to better the outfit, rather than the body inside of it..

I do understand you and lowrey's point though.

you know, there's a better discussion here (away from the bizarre, body-fascist simple-simon stuff) that we can take from that fitpic, as it was hinted at earlier. It's interesting the connection that a good bit of the SZ aesthetic has to the sort of holy-trinity of mod/skinhead/punk subculture. I really love the idea that a full on Rick Owens outfit can become insta-skin just by throwing a bomber jacket over it and that we still have those cultural markers we carry around with us no matter how severe the garments that are being paired with them.is that make sense to ya'll?!
