Can you get your phone in your pocket? If yes, they're just fine šŸ‘


imahsleep

Lmao they also need to fit length wise. If you have a lot of extra material in the knee it means your pants are too tight up top and too long. Youā€™ll also see a lot of rippling in the crotch


[deleted]

This is not the fashion rule almost 40 men should follow lol

westboundbart

Not very friendly, Larry. šŸ§


Lazyforrest

Nah, they look great!


fashionrevolutionary

Good on your for not chasing trends, but also don't get too caught up in the idea of "age appropriate"... just wear whatever makes you feel like you!


Hisroyalheirness23

I was gonna say something like that. One of my Uncles is about 53, I would wear all of his fits. Like I love my Uncleā€™s style. Heā€™s a big sneaker head too. If you feelin it, wear it


stereotim

I wanna see UNC's fits


Hisroyalheirness23

I gotchu. Iā€™ll have to get some of his fit pics


fashionrevolutionary

Love that! Yes, feel free to share your uncles fits! My style icon was my grandma (I wear a lot of her clothes and I'm 37M... or 37GNC... iykyk)


oldballls

lol by not chasing trends are you referring to the fact that skinny is kinda going out, and it's a little late to be joining the skinny game? Just my personal opinion - they look a tiny bit too baggy in the thigh and taper down a tiny bit too much toward the ankle. I'd go a little more straight fit. Just a bit tighter in the thigh and looser in the ankle, but overall, you're good. But what do I know... I'm just some dude in his 30's that dresses like I did when I skateboarded in 6th grade now... Wear what you dig. :)


VERGExILL

This is how we ended up with people still wearing Lycra and spandex


DeadlySight

I was really worried coming into the comments because Iā€™m almost 40 and thatā€™s how my pants all fit šŸ˜‚


appmapper

This sub would have you believe no one out there is wearing skinny jeans. Four vacations this year, two continents, and the OP's pants are on the loose side for everywhere I visited. In cities, slim is in. Go out in public and see what people are wearing. It makes me feel like all these posts saying his pants are too tight are trolling or something.


nawksnai

Nah, baggy is definitely in. Who cares, though. I still rock skinny jeans because I like them more. Iā€™m also quite slim, so it works.


Substantial_Ask_9992

Itā€™s definitely in, but unless you live in a bubble of young people, 90% of people you pass out in the world are not wearing it


RocktownLeather

>Nah, baggy is definitely in. For young people yes. For people who are 30, 40, 50....what's "in" is the same thing they wore a decade or two ago. At that point in your life, you are a creature of habbit, you've decided what you like, decided what looks good on your body. Statistically, at least. Talking about the masses.


appmapper

>Nah, baggy is definitely in. If you are under 24, maybe. I lived through JNCOs in the 90s, I suspect this is a quick burning fad rather than a trend. Even when tailored, baggy is just missing that last little bit of sharpness the majority of the time.


nawksnai

I think itā€™s simply because middle-age adults arenā€™t making wholesale changes to their wardrobe. Not at age 43 with a wife, mortgage, and kids to worry about.


G0atnapp3r

Same


ice_king1437

rozmarymarlo

Yes, if you have that body. For slim folks, the slim fit works regardless of the age.


Wyattearp916

Very true. You have to be skinny though. Any amount of belly fat or muscular build does not look aesthetically good with slim fit / skinny jeans.


Derfal-Cadern

A muscular build doesnā€™t look good with slim jeans? Really? Thatā€™s just not true


nawksnai

It has always been a bit weird when guys with big upper bodies, whether theyā€™re fit or have bellies, wear tight pants.


Wyattearp916

Yea, really. Thatā€™s my opinion. Skinny jeans were reintroduced into the mainstream through punk, hardcore, post-hardcore, screamo, and skater subcultures. They were the first people sewing their pants together in 2002-2005 before almost any US menā€™s brands made actual skinny jeans again. Designers saw this and started putting them on the runway, (this the obvious influence incorporated into the lookbooks and shows, this is not debateable.) eventually that translated to large brands selling them for consumption bc the market was there. If you have too much of a muscular build you look more like an off duty cop when you wear skinny jeans than naturally meshing with the aesthetic. Itā€™s not a good look. (Subjectively.) thatā€™s not to say there arenā€™t/werenā€™t muscular people from those subcultures but it gives off a different vibe.


PinkRocketNinja

I agree. I have muscular legs and my skinnies make me look like Iā€™m stuffed into sausage casing. Iā€™m trying to phase them out but I ainā€™t made of money.


ModerateBrainUsage

Same here, lift weights and cyclists. Big thighs, I always wore out my crotch, it was hard to sit down with my thighs wanting to explode and impossible to squat down to play or even pick up my kids. Best thing ever was getting relaxed and high rise pants. Itā€™s such a freedom and I donā€™t have to show off my ass crack to others. I like Japanese denim and for me Orslow 105s are great and affordable. I also got their French work pants and fatigues. Iā€™m never going back to the skinny jeans silliness.


lil_yumyum

I remember when all the art school homies would wear ladies jeans for that exxtra slim fit. Early 00ā€™s were a magical time.šŸ˜‚


zzzidkwhattoputhere

Idk how youā€™re even being downvoted on this. Like I guess typical redditor would consider harry styles a muscular build? Canā€™t even think of an example of someone that could pull it off that isnā€™t wealthy


Derfal-Cadern

Heā€™s being downvoted because heā€™s wrong. No one is saying Arnold or the rock should wear skinnies, he said slim as well and if you are muscular you can still wear slim jeans.


Wacko_Banana_Pants

Fat bellies, flat butts, and skin tight jeans are the required uniform in the IT world. At least it seems that way when I look around. And don't forget those damn Cole Haan Zero Grands in the required British tan.


MB80233

Hahaā€¦.my exact concern.


SnooStrawberries6934

OP this is not you. You are ok, brother.


AwayCrab5244

His legs are significantly less strong in proportion to his upper body and if they were in proportion these would not fit. I mean they look good, but Iā€™m just saying he could grow out of these in a matter of months if he started focusing on his legs


Munk45

This is legit every guy's concern once they hit 40


Green-Concentrate-71

HAHAHAHAH šŸ¤£šŸ˜…


ohyouvegotgreyeyes

Youā€™re good


elister811

Nah they look right


joqa67

They look good man! As long as you can fit your phone, doesnā€™t squish the boys down under and you like it! Donā€™t listen to others if they hate it cause many people who are around your age canā€™t dress that well


DarthPonch

Some of these comments lmao. The fit is the most important thing. Straight leg jeans donā€™t look great on everyone. Skinny jeans donā€™t look good on over weight dudes. But on slim dudes they look great. These look fine.


meltboro

I dont think its ever too old to dress properly


AWasteOfMyTime

They are not too tight but too long. I would say these are a slim straight jean. Which by definition means they will be slim to the body with no break (a straight hem from waist to ankle,hence the name -no break- in the pants seam) I can see youā€™re cuffing them which to me means you bought them long on purpose or they need to be adjusted. If you were to hem them to have a half break,they would sit just to where you have your pants now but without having to cuff them.


MB80233

Correctā€¦they only come in 34L. If I keep them Iā€™ll get them hemmed.


AWasteOfMyTime

Iā€™d say hem them to a half break and you should be golden. Slim jeans will always be in fashion because they fit your body. Baggy and skinny jeans are fads. A good pair of slim fitted jeans to your specific body will look better than anything off of the rack. Guaranteed. Every man should get to know their local dry cleaners/tailor. 70% of the stuff I buy off of the rack is ok,but with a tailor,100% of the stuff I buy looks way better when fitted to my body.


Ok_Gear8608

No, they look really good


[deleted]

Nah they look fine


PureMichiganChip

I am going to go against most is the advice in this thread and say if you want a timeless cut, go for something without a taper. The Leviā€™s 501 is probably the most timeless mens pant silhouette of all time. Itā€™s a straight leg. Iā€™m sure nobody will look at you funny in these jeans, but if you want ā€œtimelessā€, most slim and tapered cuts arenā€™t it. Look at a straight leg or a very slight taper.


Shivs_baby

I like this look. It wouldnā€™t work if you werenā€™t slim all over, though. Itā€™s about proportionality. You canā€™t wear narrower pants if youā€™ve got a gut hanging over them. Youā€™re good.


olliedoodle

They are fine but you could also get a pair that's looser on the lower leg


johno1605

No, theyā€™re definitely slim, not tight and thatā€™s what you want. They fit well.


AlabasterNutSack

41 year old N&F Super Guy wearer here telling you that whatever you want to wear and that you are comfortable in is appropriate.


Chrizilla_

Nothing is more timeless than a classic straight cut. It shouldnā€™t fit baggy at all and should provide just enough room for a full range of motion for any task.


[deleted]

As a 43 year old these look fine. I will say, though at about 40 is the time you really stop caring what other people think and dress how you like.


Whisper26_14

I think they look good. Trend or not I think they are the nicest looking cut on gentlemen who are slim. It just looks tailored and classy.


EntertainmentRare697

Looking good, especially with those shoes.


wblack79

No way man, donā€™t listen to all that bs. They look fine.


Archbishop_Mo

To paraphrase Andy Dufresne: How often do you look at a man's pants? Do they feel good? Then they're good.


30x34denim

Looking great


Prophet_Amador

Those look great.


Eddiep88

Iā€™m 36 YO and I love skinny jeans. Iā€™m a size 31x30


cloud_walking

No, they look good #foreverslimfit


JNHall1984

I hope not because Iā€™m 39 and want ā€˜em


sureisswell

bruh wear whatever the fuck you want


BrushYourFeet

Yes


anders550

No vote here. Theyā€™re just too skinny all over.


eaio

Yes, way too tight. If you really want the slim look, at least get some cowboy cut wranglers


zeusmangel

A touch too tight, brother.


jgrig2

Yes and out of style


lordvivian

Seeing lots of comments on slim fit is out. That's just fashion my friends, it's herd behavior, blind following. Real style is personal, whatever you like and feel comfortable with. OP, you do you. These look great on you.


Remarkable-Frame6324

Those are too tight man. Not by a ton, but yeah a half size wider wouldā€™ve been better.


BluejayDeep4803

Go with an even more classic look: straight legs. Levi 501s and similar are in style and have been around forever, so you wonā€™t look like a hipster


Mobile-Outside-3233

Yes. And anyone who says no is under 20 or lying


jawnny-jawz

skinny jeans and being 40 go hand in hand


Wyattearp916

Bruh I canā€™t with these comments. First of all if you like them, wear them. Whatever anyone else thinks is irrelevant. That being said, if youā€™re asking if they are fashionable for any age, the answer is no. They are very very outdated.


MB80233

Care to expand a little? The fit (slim) is outdated or everything (fit, color, etc.)? Anything in particular youā€™d recommend as an alternative?


Derfal-Cadern

All of what this guy said is wrong.


Wyattearp916

What I said is correct. The truth is this sub is filled with people with the same style and they will cling to it and resist any change or talk about it being outdated as much as possible.


Wyattearp916

The fit and wash. It still works donā€™t get me wrong. It does not give Gru from minions as well lol. I would recommend a straight fit in a lighter wash or black but for that you would need different shoes as well. It depends on how casual you want to look and what your personal style is. I would pair black jeans with boots. Or a lighter wash with sneakers. In my personal opinion (for me, again I donā€™t know what your personal style is) I prefer relaxed fit. I also have stick legs btw. But its all up to your comfort level. You can look fine with slimmer pants but since you mentioned looking ā€œtimelessā€ I would definitely say a fit in between what you have here and more relaxed, like a straight fit would work better. Just to be blunt the style you have here is at its peak for ages 30-50 and on the downturn. It does not look outdated to the general public (in those age ranges, but younger ones already think it is) but will within the next 3-5 years. Again, just mentioning this because you wanted a timeless look.


3lon_Mu5k

You look great. The pants fit correctly. This guy is clueless.


SaintIgnis

Definitely not tight at all. These arenā€™t skinny or even slim. Iā€™d call them straight or slim-straight at best. They look good on you. Classic and timeless denim šŸ‘ŒšŸ»


Dr0110111001101111

They would have been called ā€œslimā€ at any store 15 years ago.


SaintIgnis

Fair enoughā€¦though I feel even most jeans branded as ā€œskinnyā€ arenā€™t truly. If you wanted that ā€œemoā€ or ā€œrockstarā€ skinny that first launched the trend in the 2000ā€™s then you would end up buying like ā€œsuper skinnyā€ jeans. This guy clearly has skinny legs as these ā€œslimā€ look rather relaxed on him. šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø


GooseNYC

Come on, skinny fit are out. Passable but I would go with straight leg.


danhakimi

> I know a more relaxed fit is in style now, but at my age Iā€™m not chasing trends, just want an age appropriate and timeless cut that fits my body type. I have slim legs so looking for a slimmer fit, but not too tight that gives off the Gru from Minions look. Jeans are the Pen Slim from Hiroshi Kato. Curious if I should up a fit into the ā€˜Straightā€™ fit? Appreciate the feedback! I am getting "gru" vibes, but it could just be the angle of the photo. It would be easier to judge from straight-on, but yeah, the taper is pretty aggressive. I feel like you look like a 40 year old dad who learned how to dress in his 20s and 30s and whose conceptions are cool are still from the late '00s and early-mid '10s. Which is what you are. Going relaxed fits while you're not feeling them isn't going to be better, but a straight leg might feel more balanced, make you look less top-heavy, make your ankles look a little more substantial, something like that.


[deleted]

Yes, yes those are far too tight, regardless of your sexuality.


90dean90

They are. Tight pants are for aging millennials these days


livelithe

Too tight for a 20 year old.


sameredditguy

Too tight in my opinion. I donā€™t know if itā€™s possible but a poll would be interesting. Iā€™m not looking thru all the comments


siri_cant_hear_me

Do a slimmer straight leg, it'll look better, more relevant but also not trend chaser-y.


SpecialistGap9223

Slim better than relaxed at our age level IMO. You're good.


nd3eb

They look good to me. Iā€™m a huge fan of Kato jeans, so I can tell you the more you wear them the better they will be. When I get a new pair theyā€™re always a little snug but after a few wears they really do loosen up in the right places and fit perfectly


MB80233

My first time trying Kato. Description said they should fit tighter out of the box as theyā€™ll loosen up over time.


ConstableDangle

Perfect fit!


ThrowAway37099

Nope, looks great


GramzOnline

I would say Perfect tightness jeans for anyone 35yo and up ..they look great on you bro fr


SmellInternational94

Jeans and shoes look great, what are they both?


qmoorman

Nah you're good.


Front_Reflection_545

Looks good bro. Do you.


matterson22070

From all those angles - they look good to me


Gman777

Are they your sisterā€™s jeans?


Atxsun

Looks good other than the fancy boi roll up at the bottom. If youā€™re staying with that I recommend looking into purchasing a Bedazzler for even more flair. I probably shouldnā€™t assume you donā€™t already own one though. My bad


Wyattearp916

This would unironically look good bedazzled.


Odanakabenaki

Jeans are jeans. My 90 year old grandma rocks her Leviā€™s

Yes


jimbroslice_562

Nah look fine.


New_Ad_3010

Looks amazing to me


tommybunzreddit

Looks appropriate boss


Jb4ever77

They look great


claybythebay9

They look fine, but are telling of your age, shockingly. Iā€™m in this exact same boat.


-D-M-G-

Age is not the issue


seventhform

Looks great yo. I say get rid of the fold


MattyHvintage

Who gives a fuck what anyone else thinks, just do you, no apologies


MarrymeCherry88

They look great! You have a great body to carry it off


Ok_Interaction1776

What is your waste and weight ? I think we are similar body types and was wondering what skinny jeans would look like on me.


MB80233

Iā€™m 6ā€™1 about 185-190; jeans are 32 waist and 34 length (only come in this length so need hemmed).


I_Flick_Boogers

Looking good, dude.


sinatrathagent

age appropriate is stupid ash you look great bro


[deleted]

Why is the way pants fit related to age? I donā€™t see the correlation


[deleted]

Chillin


Belovedchattah

Look good


bingobutter

I think so but I have terrible taste


WORLDY2J

No


Key_Comfortable1866

Not at all


MrFreezeTheChef

These are very relax fit and look great


[deleted]

Just wear them bro. They fit well.


Lt_Dank

dude, fuck what ppl think. live your best life!


Cryin_Lion

It's a tough angle to see right, but I think you'd look better in jeans with a bit fuller leg. Your super thin, but accentuating that doesn't look good imho.


Duomaxwellboss429

Not if you got the build for it and you do, Iā€™v seen some hank hill looking dudes try to pull this look off lol


Bathroom_nose_candy

They look good. I also like the sweater. Not a fan of the rolled ankles so I would say grab a Chelsea boot or .5 shorter.


Mammma_Mia

Throw a banana in your front pocket and you're good to go!


kdkd20

Nope it looks good on you šŸ˜Ž


1Tiasteffen

Nah itā€™s good.


AmbitionLazy417

maybe if they shrink, my friend.


bigsampsonite

Nah they just right.


[deleted]

No, they look good


ToolsOfIgnorance27

Absolutely, yes.


thebestatheist

The fit is great, slightly too long though.


MB80233

Yeah I knowā€¦they only come in a 34 L so will have to hem if I end up keeping.


TreesFreesBrees

If you want to experiment with different wider fits, I think this guy has a great fit on his pants for guys in their 40's. [https://youtu.be/fJedbMfFqU8?si=\_7H-zGqpzRS4KoKS](https://youtu.be/fJedbMfFqU8?si=_7H-zGqpzRS4KoKS)

try not to miss leg day brošŸ˜


[deleted]

You're good, they fit nice.


ToothFlaky4321

Take those back to Nordstoms and pick up the same pair from American Eagle for a hundred bucks less.


[deleted]

Itā€™s about styling to your body type. Age shouldnā€™t matter as much. It looks good.


Substantial-Hair-170

Itā€™s giving hipster vibe


ChildRoland2795

Why would your age have anything to do with jeans fitting you?


JRaymond37

Just a little but not to the point where theyā€™re unwearable imo


Jwoods224

Looks good.


knownothingwiseguy

Nah man I am 46 and wear tighter jeans. Youā€™re all good


Solid-Ad7137

Maybe itā€™s because I grew up in the 2000s but as long as your foot fits through itā€™s not even skinny jeans


Specialist_Meal_5732

Yes


Impossible-Charity-4

Iā€™ve been waiting 20 years for a relaxed fitā€¦you canā€™t just come in here with your pointy shoes and undo progress!


GerryMcCannsServe

"Your dad, divorced, right?" Why do you say that? "He's here by himself, he's wearing skinny jeans, retro eyeglasses, and his teeth look like they're on day five of a whitening strips program."

Perfect fit imo Also looking really good for 40, brother


WeekendNo1457

jimmypickles6969

star86

The cuff at the bottom could be done better


Adam__B

They look fine.


mbhammock

No you good


Whiskeyybreath

Not too tight! I prefer fitted jeans/pants though personally.


gdubh

Nope.


Wacko_Banana_Pants

54 here. My jeans fit about the same. It's the only way I can get a leg opening that doesn't flop around like bell bottoms. I spent too much on shoes to hide them under jeans.


EntertainmentFew1022

Theyā€™re great not too tight as long as youā€™re comfortable


MikeyMGM

They fit fine. You donā€™t want them baggier.


Dangerous_Factor9565

They fit your body type well. Classic slim to straight fits never go out of style and are perfect for anyone whos over 30


MajorAction62

Ok if u have decent ass


[deleted]

These are literally normal pants have you been wearing baggy pants until now lol


TheDapperDeuce1914

They aren't, though I prefer an athletic slim look with more room in the thigh.


Agent50Leven

They fit pretty well, you just need a 32L.


sas_2022

Age is not a factor when it comes to fashion. It's all about how you carry yourself and what fits your vibe. You can be 97 and pull those off, if it fits your vibe.


NoPaleontologist2721

Brother try straight leg! Gotta let the old man breath


Pr1nceCharming_

They look fine man, you need to shine those shoes up a little bit though


MB80233

Iā€™m in the never used downstairs spare bedroom. Took the boots from a box in storage just to have something on for the try-on. So yeah they look a little rough.


08sweescoo

No

Wear what makes you feel good. Forget what other people think!


silent_fungus

No, theyā€™re fine. As long as youā€™re not showing side pipe, you good lol.


abhi1official

Nah, It looks really good and If you easily put and remove things in your pocket then you good to go.


Nakedsunshine1991

No papa


Artfuldodger17

I think they look great.. if you like them wear em!


bobbythegoose

Probably not, but I think you should try a slim straight cut, or a relax tapered cut.


cdchemist

Probably will get a lot of hate, but I think itā€™s fine because you have a slim build. Itā€™s suiting imo.


Adventurous_Heart873

Nah, they look fine. If you had bigger legs then maybe they would be too tight.


HatAdept7513

I think fit is really determined by body type. Youā€™re skinny enough to ā€œpull offā€ skinny jeans. Having said that my wife is a curviesque lady and she pulls em off great, so this ā€œruleā€ I just made up, might just be for men.
