What's with the tight pants on EVERYONE in Europe?

It looks ridiculous

Italian and French cops. Oh my dear Lord. Tom of Finland territory.

Yeah, all the fuckboys are dressing like this around here and I feel officially old and out of touch watching them.

You have to be... proportionate to pull those off as well, and my huge quads would just look grotesque.

I haven't seen them on everyone in "Europe". Any particular country where those are the standard uniform, OP?

Well, Ireland and the UK. I mean Europe, not those other places *hand waves dismissively*

Frankly though, I can't imagine they wouldn't be everywhere else too in Europe. I don't think you can buy non fitted clothing anywhere.

That is revolting. Those are not fucking jeans, they are spandex.

OP, when you say "everyone," do you mean middle-aged and older guys too?

It could be worse...

Europeans always dress terribly, like huge flamers.

Yeah, although I'm in Ireland currently, so the population is generally young and I haven't seen too many old guys walking around. The 45-year old professors have the skin tight jeans as well. Granted, for the most part the men can pull them off, since "tall and lanky" is a common sillhouette. Girls, on the other hand... they're generally bigger/fatter than the guys, on average.

(I shouldn't have called them "pants" in the subject, I forgot that means underwear here, but you get the idea).

Let me get this straight, OP. You're talking about "Ireland and the UK" and saying "Europe"?

Even before Brexit, that's pretty much two different worlds you're talking about. A lot of the population of the British Isles has very questionable taste in clothes, to put it kindly. It's like the whole area is the equivalent of the US flyover zone, except in very posh areas, where the people dress in shabby traditional clothes.

You won't find a lot of that spandex on men (or even women) in Italy, for example.

Men also wear capri jeans in the UK. It's the most ridiculous thing. Only fat Walmart moms in the Bible Belt wear capri jeans in the US, but I didn't even know they made those for men.

And what's with the turtleneck jackets every German wears on holidays in the United States, even in the summer?

r13 I can look at pictures online and see examples of the same fashion in France and Spain, as well. Anyone have firsthand experience?

A huge percentage of Americans are grossly overweight, so I'm not shocked tighter jeans are offensive to you.

Soon, Europe will be full of McDonalds and Starbucks, and you will know our pain, R18! Buahahahaha!@

[quote]Soon, Europe will be full of McDonalds and Starbucks

it already is

And Amazon Prime delivery!

Aren't the ones in OP's pic a men's version of "jeggins" (looks jeans fits like leggings) worn by girls and women a few years back (usually by those who shouldn't)?

Segueing slowly back to the stockings of Bill Shakespeare's time. It's cultural.

r22 the only difference is that you can't buy anything else now, almost all the jeans and trousers are like this, men and women.

It's the final and confirming test that you old guys are not one of us, despite your crowing about looking "10 years younger".

r15, I don't even think that guy at your link is a real cop. Was that picture taken at a Pride parade? If you look carefully, you'll see that he's even wearing kneepads.

There's no more real men anymore. Everyone wants to be a woman it seems. Sad!

R26, nope, quick googling tells that some cops in Italy really do dress like that. And since they seem to be motorcycle cops kneepads are obviously for protection.

The gays and straight are still wearing their JORTS with the bottoms turned up. FOR YEARS NOW. I ADORE Europeans, but the dude's clothing is cornier than it is anywhere else.

GET OFF OF MY LAWN!!!

Those tights look like the type of garments men wore during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. They should make cod pieces fashionable again!

OPs guy is hot

My dick and balls could never fit in there.

Those cops in the tight pants are motorcycle cops. They wear the tight garments for a good reason, to keep from getting road burn if they're hit by a car and knocked off.

Perhaps it's just a conspiracy to lower men's sperm count.

I agree with the comments about Ireland and England. Was in Ireland in June and arrived back in London today from Italy. Now Italy, the men look amazing! I didn't really see anything that was too extreme. Though common to see skinny jeans with rips on both men and women. In Liverpool, I saw a lot of black skinny jeans with horizontal cuts, again on both men and woman. Older men and women are not following any fashion trends that I could tell. Guys in business suits, especially in the larger cities, are hot. But so many blue suits with brown shoes. What I do appreciate is not seeing baggy jeans or the saggy crotch. I appreciate jeans (or trousers) that fit well and show off a man's assets.

Showing off your chicken legs ain’t hot. Most men have awful legs and since I’m a leg man myself, these are more sad than anything else

It's the second coming of Gil Girard!

Cheaper to just put on a pair of ballet leotards and be done with it.

Tight skinny jeans not exactly a new trend.

You can certainly buy things that are not skin tight

Unless you've got very thin legs they're uncomfortable too

Motorcycle cops the world over wear tight pants, so their pants don't get caught on their bikes-- see attached photo from old US TV series CHIPS

You can look 10 years younger and still think the fashion is ridiculous r25.

I was in Vienna and Berlin in the summer, and shrunken vests and suits were all the rage. They looked like they were wearing their little brother's clothing- very ill fitting.

what happened to wearing clothing that flattered ones body instead of what everyone else is wearing?

This, R43?

What turtle neck jackets R16? Please post a pic

Love the look on hot guys with nice legs and asses. Do you also see more VPL?

I imagined it was this r46.

I do too r47. It looks best if you have a nice beefy ass and strong legs. But for those of with even a tiny gut, it cannot be done. Your waist has to SNATCHED.

r45 ARRRGH yes.

Let me get this straight,yall are bitching about men wearing tight pants ??? I know the majority of you were alive in the 70s ! I love it,bring on the vpl !

I love tight pants but the style is horrid.

Thanks R48. But that's nothing new. Been around for ages. Even I had a couple of these

I agree about French military police: they look amazing. The uniform is so well cut and tight you can see the outline of their foreskins.

Where I live the summer look has been shorts: daytime florals for men in soft fabrics like lingerie cut loose way up the thigh. Very sexy. For nighttime, the boys wear these black shorts with white socks and soft short sleeve black shirts like a fascist uniform that's also incredibly sexy. Some go the whole hog with the haircuts.

those police officers are nothing compared to these Spanish soldiers

bulges galore (and no silly spandex look)

Europeans wear tight clothes so American tourists stand out even more so they can point and laugh at the fatties with the falling apart country.

The average American male has a 40 inch waist and fat thighs. there is no way they could wear loose fitting pants to begin with.

Posts with pics please.

You sound really, really old OP.

Why do European (non British and non Irish, of course) and South American tourists always like to wear the puffy coat, even when it's not cold? Plus a scarf.

R43 You sound ancient. Those have been trending for years.

Ew, r50.

Those assholes are wearing ladies’jackets.

Spanish Legion at r61.

G A Y

R28, WE know what the kneepads are for...

All European men are at least bi.

I don’t know why.

Italy (and really all countries were soccer is the preferred sport) is all about legs, especially thighs and the ass.

The US is about arms and pecs.

In Italy the look is muscular legs and ass with lean arms and chest. The pumped up American-style arms and chest is considered gross.

Its what Zara and H&M still here. That's why.

I noticed the same thing in the UK last summer. Skinny jeans are one thing, these are sprayed on. I didn't notice it in Greece or Italy this year. People looked healthy and normal there.

Trashy chavs.

They are so damn fashionable!

It's a great look on hot guys, I don't really bother to check out uggos on the street to the point where I notice what kind of trousers they are wearing (who does that anyway? Why look for and linger on stuff that disgusts you?)

These will never go out of style.

My god, r72!

Is he actually wearing socks with his BOAT SHOES??

Trash.

I hate living in the U.S., because we are still a repressed country that pushes men to be super masculine and unemotional. It's still taboo to wear a speedo in public. Most men in the U.S. won't even go into a locker room and shower naked in front of other men, because we are taught to feel ashamed about our bodies. Of course, this idea is perpetuated by most U.S. women, religious nutbags, ignorant white trash, and "toxic masculinity" black and brown people.

God forbid you overstep dress code boundaries set by the self appropriated fashion police. Ex. If you aren't black, you better not be caught wearing Timberland boots.

R76, your jackets are too short.

You look like a woman.

....

Shame is good, r76.

Without it, you end up looking like the OP’s douche pic.

Is that flowering bougainvillea in the background of OP's photo?

R72. Yum!

There's a difference between when something is popular amongst some, like hipsters in the US that like skinny jeans, and this painted on style, which is worn by the majority in UK and Ireland, not just a specific group, but especially amongst University kids.

The chavs are running the asylum in England.

Good like even finding even one decent RP speaker anymore.

Young guys have bigger cocks than we had at that age. Win win.

They pair the jeans with mesh sneakers, sockless or ankle socks. 2 years ago they cuffed the bottom of the jeans to reveal 2-3 inches of angle and leg. This was pure peacockery, and I loved it, because only young men have hairy ankles and hair running all the way down the leg to the feet. Its mostly gone by the 30's.

Europeans are much taller than Americans.

In Paris and even here in Barcelona the average height is close to 6 feet and there is a race of giant stinkfish everywhere- 6 feet or over! We suspect this is due to the growth hormones in the meat and the good part is that they will get more cancer.

At 5'10 were were average in LA but here we are a midget!

for those under 40 that is

They keep the soles of their sneakers spotless. The mesh sneakers all have white soles by the way. In a group of 10 college boys, at least 6 will have the mesh sneakers, usually nike, with white soles.

Its a bit curious to me because when I was in college in the 80's. young men weren't so cookie-cutter.

Blimey - I live in "Europe" and have never seen anyone in those stretch pants.

Looks like you're in luck, darling - I'm right here.

Also the straight boys shave their junk and ass, because they see it in straight porn, but the gay boys are hairier now.

I like the ethnic working class versions of this spandex boy because of the bonus clouds of AXE cologne in all its wondrous varieties, mixed with testosterone, which working class boys seem to diffuse more than the bourgeois boys.

England is the fattest place in Europe and they wear this shit. Hipster douches in the US under 35 wear it too.

Are the pants TOO tight as to allow a display of VPL?

Perhaps the whole thing backfired...

r72 shows why the codpiece was invented. The big dicks got too much attention and those with small ones wanted to hide it.

Designers roll out the cod piece every few years and it never catches on. Pity.

Remember Kristin's?

Marry me, r90!

John seems to be short and super thick in that photo sporting a 'semi'!

I don't think the tighter pants look is a good idea for that gurl John Hamm, somehow.

[quote] I can look at pictures online and see examples of the same fashion in France and Spain, as well. Anyone have firsthand experience?

Just got back from Spain and there were a lot of skinny jeans and capri pants. Fortunately, they were on guys who looked good in them, well, except for the capri pants -- who the hell looks good in them except toddlers? Also, they don't make the ass look good, unless you've got a kardashibutt.

I tried skinny jeans. Actually bought a couple pair when they first appeared. I've missed leg day at the gym for like, uh, five years now, so I looked like an idiot. Never went out of the house in them.

This guy is American and he looks pretty good.

Skinny jeans make your ass look flat.

r102 those are just tight jeans, not the spandex painted on jeans in Europe.

R86 JAJAJAJAJAJAJA!!!!!!!!!!! MOST Spaniards are SHORT! VERY SHORT on average. Go anywhere in Spain and other nationalities tower over them. Stop pulling statistics out of your cavernous hole.

Seems like a huge percentage of guys wearing skinny jeans have no thigh or calve muscles. It's not flattering if you're not perfectly proportioned.

[quote]MOST Spaniards are SHORT! VERY SHORT on average. Go anywhere in Spain and other nationalities tower over them. Stop pulling statistics out of your cavernous hole.

You're wrong.

Spaniards are taller than Americas and taller than a number of other European countries.

Thank you R107. I also labored under the misapprehension of short Spaniards. But when I got over there, I was impressed by how tall they were. I'm 6 foot and a lot of the guys I saw on the street were taller than I am.

R108 They must not have been Spaniards. MOST of them are SHORT.

I've seen many guys around NY wearing these tight skinny jeans and most don't have the legs for it. Only those with great legs can pull these jeans off.

Those little mini vests look like corsets on men. PeeWee Herman clothes. HIDEOUS!

Hot look

r109 You have never been to Spain, so shup up. Spanish aren't Latin Americans. They gave their surnames to the American Indians, but that was all. Very few of them have Spanish blood in them.

They’re jeggings. Straight men in the US will never wear them

I saw a lot of guys in tight pants like this (with high hems) at a college graduation last weekend. Looks great on guys who are fit; others, not so much.

I should have mentioned in R115 that this was in the U.S.

In the 70s we wore our pants so tight they left creases in your skin. Not new. Its all just a little bit of history repeating.

Bump

I was just in Austria and Poland and no one was wearing pants like that.

It's skinny jeans taken to the extreme.

The man in R112 looks developmentally disabled, as if he wasn't able to dress himself properly.

Jeggings

The merger of compression pants with regular pants is a wonderful trend

I love compression pants on athletic, fit men when they are at the gym, running, cycling, or any other sport activity. The tight trousers are a bit much. They look cartoonish, even on fit guys.

Really cartoonish🤪
