I don't think I'm confident enough to pull off colored jeans anymore. In college I used to rock midnight blue and dark red but I always feel like I'm too old (and out of shape) for something that loud.
Sell me a poke.
It's true, though. Gap opened here in Guam (just in time for my arrival), and they have some new colored pants that look really snazzy.

I find (at least in my case) darker colored pants are much easier to pull off. You have to be super thin to wear the bright colored pants, or risk looking chunkier than you are.

Believe what you will, but I've actually had pretty good luck with the brand. I've been complimented, and each time it was completely unprovoked, by at least a few women who had no idea that my jeans were from Old Navy. Granted I'm a cool drink of water and it's not the clothes that make the man, but I've gotta give the pants SOME credit. Quality-wise I'll admit that they're not the greatest though. The blue washes out fairly quickly and the material isn't what I'd describe as overly comfortable, but I don't expect jeans to feel silky and, hey, at only $30 I can just donate my faded ones and buy a new pair. That said, I also have an Old Navy jacket that I wear sometimes when the weather's mild and it fits me like a glove, is extremely comfortable and shows no signs of wear at all even after years of use. It isn't high fashion but I don't wear it when I'm trying to look dressy.
This is interesting, because I wear clothes that fit and what I have from them are pretty snug. Maybe they just don't have anything that fits properly for someone of your height and weight.
And is midnight blue considered loud? I described my jeans before as dark navy, but midnight blue might be a better way to describe them and I've always considered 'em to be more on the conservative side.
...because without the bitter, baby, the sweet ain't as sweet.
Are you fat? If you are, the clothes were made for you. No offense.
And midnight blue may be too dark. Think of Smurf blue but just a couple of shades darker. Still loud to me because it's not an ubiquitous jean color. And living in NY really just gets you used to different colored jeans. Uniqlo sells every shade in the rainbow for $20-30. They are SUPER tight in the crotch, though. It's the reason I had to stop wearing my pair of Uniqlo jeans.

After wearing Express jeans, I can't go back. It feels like you're wearing sex. I've had some luck with Gap and American Eagle jeans, but they're hit or miss.
Old Navy jeans are just too baggy on me in all the wrong places.

Yeah, if I were to dress like him then I'd for sure have everything tailored. I dig the snug fit as long as the person trying to rock it has the body for it.
LOL. My personal favorite, and I don't know if this is just a CT thing, is soccer moms during the summer who barrel along in their Chevy Suburbans while shivering in their North Face fleeces with the windows rolled up and the A/C cranked. I'm not sure exactly what my definition of an asshole is but that just might be it.

None taken. I'll just quote myself from earlier:
I have thin chicken legs which is why I wear boot cut and not skinny. I hear you about the super tight crotch though. Even my Old Navys give me the nut cramps on occasion. I've never heard of Uniqlo, but their website warrants further investigation. Thanks for the heads up, man.
...because without the bitter, baby, the sweet ain't as sweet.
If I recall correctly they only have stores in NY for the US. But it's worth a look if you're close.

My nuts will never suffer for fashion.
