These are destroyed denim shorts and as such will arrive to you with frays, knicks, holes, etc. This is NOT a defect, but was made to look this way. This is what A&F is known and loved for!! No 2 pairs are the same - the destruction to your shorts are unique. ADD YOUR OWN UNIQUENESS & DESTRUCTION - make them even hotter and sexier by adding your own destruction - you can tear at the destroyed holes abit more to add even more uniqueness to your shorts!

good luck europe

Ppre-worn shoes and jeans to go with your Fender "Road Worn" guitar?

Have been wearing LVC '37s for a few weeks now. So light and comfy compared to the last pair I was wearing (Warehouse 800).

Right cuff keeps reverting to being longer than my left cuff, though.

even more uniqueness

Bought what are technically my most expensive pair of jeans ever today - got some Glory jeans originally $160 at 60% off. They are your standard dark blue utility jean, but the denim is very heavy and rigid compared to other jeans I've owned. They don't have any annoying pre-fade or piss-stain or creases or anything, which I appreciate.

fun fact: theyre called 'whiskers' not 'creases' and were inspired by china (vague recollection of watching a documentary on a couple of inhouse designers traveling to china getting inspiration from hanging laundry woah)

i actually bought my favorite pair jeans in a long long time at walmart for $10 a couple of weeks ago. why doesnt anyone make dark rinse flared jeans anymore? also desired: white stitching.

also please please please dont catch on 'JEGGINGS' (the term - dont really care one why or the other about the jeans themselves)

haha, the lack of subjects for the verbs in this sentence provides for unintentional lulz.

how could anyone invent "whiskers"? they appear naturally as a result of wearing jeans

i guess someone invented the idea to bleach them into new jeans? i dont know.

the history of distressing/pre-worn looks on denim is not rooted in China. I'd wager italy or usa circa 1980 according to my lookbooks.

Does that include whiskers? I don't remember seeing whiskers (I mean creasing yeah but not blatant line drawn cat looking whiskers) until the '00s.

You don't need magic to conjure up the perfect pair of jeans - they're right here! Everything you'd wish for in a pair of pants, these on-trend, lightweight 'chief of all jean-ies' feature a pleated front, hip pockets, slightly tapered leg, and sleek, pocketless back. Craft an astonishingly amazing look by pairing this great garment with a puff-sleeved chiffon blouse, bejeweled sandals, and as many bangles as you wish, and people will have to blink to make sure they saw you right!

^^ this is how i know that i have lost touch with what the kids are wearing. i would not be caught dead in these pants.

It's the bejeweled sandals part that's horrifying me.

those pants are SO UGLY y'all

as many bangles as i wish??? sign me up

Those pants are like everything I DO NOT WANT in a pair of pants. They are sure to be the most unflattering jeans ever. Ew.

I hope to never see anything remotely resembling those on a person irl.

I wore those pants...in fourth grade. With some kind of pink sweatshirt that had puff-paint sheep or bunnies on it -- I can't even remember but I was desperate for something with puff-paint. Never goin back there, not even for y'all.

Oh god I loved puff paint. Ha. I'm pretty sure I wore v similar pants around then too. Just terrible.

puff painted sweatshirts and drip-and-drape earrings were big at my middle school, followed by stirrup pants with oversize neon shirts and scrunchy socks in high school

those pants are not only the ugliest cut, they appear to be made of the ugliest fabric as well -- are they like chambray or something?!

is that a word? chambray?

I like em

i call bs

They're unpretentious and the cut is pretty flattering - they look perfect for a breezy sunny day

Or for working in the garden

maybe if you are either 4 or 100 years old

poochy stomach, flat butt, tapered-yet-baggy = flattering?!

Those are trousers, they don't have a "stomach" - and how can you see the butt? have you enhanced and rotated?

1) there are no pockets on the butt, which frequently leads to the appearance of a flat butt, esp. with such high waisted pants
2) pleats are like a little cave for poochy stomachs (ie normal stomachs). if a person has even the smallest pooch, pleats are basically an advertisement for that pooch. little fabric arrows pointing at one's pooch.

conclusion -- these pants are unflattering if you do not have a perfectly flat stomach or a perfectly round rear.

to the 3-4 people on whom this would be flattering, enjoy your high waisted pleated chambray jeans

Those are trousers, they don't have a "stomach"

Are you insane? Clothes don't cancel out the body underneath, skinny boy. Everyone has a stomach.

Those pants would look atrocious on 99% of women.

to the 3-4 people on whom this would be flattering, enjoy your high waisted pleated chambray jeans

lol I missed that but yes, exactly.

chambray is a plain weave
jeans are a denim weave

chambray <> jeans

whatever, denim pedant
these jeans are heinous

we aren't so far from those. if the cycle of fashion repeats 70-80s move from slim hip-hugger flares to high waisted pleated tapered poufy jeans repeats, skinny jeans having almost finished their run surely means you'll see someone wearing those without irony any day now.

A lot of things come and go without ever breaking the "without irony" barrier. I'll be happy if these pants have their day among the tragically hip and then go away for another 15 years.

The girls are already wearing the shorts version of those jeans: high-waisted and pleated and possibly with cuffs, worn with oxford shoes of some kind probably mousy brown -- very "studenty". As soon as fall hits I'm sure the long versions will make the scene.

i am aware of fashion's cyclical nature, and i am aware that girls are wearing high waisted pleated shorts, BUT

* that doesn't change the fact that these pants are ugly as shit
* my inability to even consider wearing them means that i am not a candidate for shopping in the junior's section anymore

i probably shouldn't shop there anyway, and i don't really, because i don't really "shop" but you know what i mean

oh i love chambray pants, like those. so comfy too. great for airplane rides!

Many US companies began "vanity sizing" in the 80s, convincing people that they wore a smaller size than what the garment measures out to be (eg, a size 27" garment measures to a true 29"). Some brands (like Levi's) resisted this trend for over a decade until they saw their sales decrease because those brands "didn't fit" the consumer. European and Asian companies do not vanity size which may explain the variance.

To learn more about vanity sizing, take a tape measure and your favorite jeans and measure the waist and compare to the stated size.
