I can rarely find men's jeans that fit me very well. The jeans that fit very well tend to have a bit of spandex blend (such as some Levi's skinny jeans). Do you feel comfortable browsing through the women's aisles for jeans: jeans that have a low rise, a bit of spandex and generally show off your shape?

I'm reluctant to try this, as I live in Oregon, which is not exactly metrosexual friendly. Do salesgirls treat you weird if you try on women's jeans, or do they find this to be a regular occurence?

I'd by far prefer a bit looser men's cut rather than a perfect-legged women's cut.

well,I have all that I need in mens' cuts,but still

try some Diesel Zathans, there are some stretch washes and you can probably get a pair for really cheap.
Will pay extreme amounts of money for: zathan 784/Clerby 82L in 27x30 or Zathan 83L, 770 in 28x30

I don't feel uncomfortable when I do it.
Men's and women's jeans are made for the same purpose anyway.

Something that's fucking fitted. Just kidding. But seriously, I do want a fitted look, but it's got to be comfortable also. I find if the fit is slim, it tends to be uncomfortable. The only jeans that I've found which are slim, and fitted and exceptionally soft and comfortable are Levi's with spandex blend.

I don't really care what the brand is, I'm looking for that rare combination of fit, comfort and style. Levi's has two of the three. But their washes are not that interesting, and while their backpocket treatment is symbolic of quality and tradition, it's not as interesting as some of the brands that people follow here.

It shouldn't matter as long as it is a unisex fit. women's low rise + men's crotches don't mix at all.

There's a new blog about this topic up on our designer jeans blog - men who wear women's jeans. There are some designers now making men's skinny jeans that fit more like women's jeans that some of you might like too!

I understand where Ur commin from.
I used to be one skinny fcuk till I was like 20: 5'6 120 lbs w/ 24 waist~

Although I was in pretty good "built" shape, I could hardly pull off any men's jeans due to my micro hip.
I went w/ Seven's as U can't really tell difference, but most women's Diesel tend to have small back pockets, which creates that feminine look which does NOT look good on guys.

Amen to that.

With a women's rise, you might as well take a nut cruncher and say to hell with your little buddies.
