I’m glad to find this thread because I was thinking of this item while reading another thread about tight shirts… I don’t know if it has shown up anywhere on the SD. I must say, it is possibly NSFW: so, beware! Ladies and gentlemen, I present (drumroll, please) - the Penis Pants ![www.buzzfeed.com/rickt2/penis-pants-akd]() Do I win? :eek: ---

oh darn, I was hoping I’d found the worst. the only thing that would improve those pants is wearing some drop crotch pants over them. ---

I have a nephew who thinks the [work kilt](http://www.contractortalk.com/attachments/f11/32851d1275843754-work-shorts-workmans_kilt.jpg) is THE thing to wear. YECK! Then he complains when he gets “the look.” On the other hand, I saw one guy on TV who was bitching about what someone else was wearing. I kid you not, he was wearing a plaid jacket with a checked shirt. In multiple contrasting colors. WTF? He should have looked in the mirror that morning. ---

Oh yes, from the Eldridge de Paris collection! 😛 I recently read an article where a guy put on a pair of man’s ‘jeggings’ and walked the streets of NY looking for/asking for reactions from the public. No one paid much attention to him in tight skinny pants. They should have had …an accessory, a focal point. ---
