I love when GQ actually gives style advice, as opposed to celebrity based content. More videos like this please 💯

[@user-vy9tf4wn1o]

Seems GQ wants to become a fashion magazine again, instead of covering...EVERYTHING BUT STYLE lol

I wished they did different body types and which jeans to wear to compliment it.

[@elmoskippari5342]

Usually high waisted, cropped and regular to slim fit jeans look good on shorter people. And basically if you’re tall everything looks good…

Gr8 content.This is so refreshing to see different fit ideas. Straight leg ,high rise and flared. The top fashion influencers nowadays are ALL skinny jeans and skinny chinos. Im not crazy about super baggy either, but Thank you GQ for this content. Good conversation

[@Dantega415]

Skater jeans are baggy jeans. It’s super trendy in the skate community rn. Polar Big Boys, Butter Goods Pants, Empyre has been popular sellers for those jeans. They sell almost everytime my local shop gets them in. I find most skaters go a size or two up just to get that baggy look.

[@smb995]

it is unfortunate though that it is trendy cuz it ironically delineates skating. gq could’ve got someone who actually skates to talk about “skater pants”

[@smb995]

@Christian Vaughn it doesn’t have any depth, they don’t know Corey Duffel type tight

[@hellomadet]

Skater jeans are any pants that you are wearing while riding a skateboard.

[@may-K-47]

@Christian Vaughn however that was before we figured out baggy pants gave us a wider range of movement

[@behindyou666]

@@smb995 Bro, everyone wore baggy pants before the 2010s, and still then there was someone who gave no shits about skater wear who wore it.

Rag and bone fit 2 chinos and jeans are my bread and butter for every outfit. They make nice washes and make all their denim in the US. (Fit 2 is perfect if you have more athletic legs) or you could rock some levi 512s for another good slim straight

[@nathanbrown3942]

Yes. Rag and bone makes great clothing. They do colored denim really well. And if the $200 price point for jeans is too high, just wait for a sale. They're worth it. A.p.c. is too
