And I honestly don't know how our world ever thought http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41qjQKUFekL._SX342_.jpg, looked better than http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-m2OTWOSn9kk/TZhepAsYZnI/AAAAAAAAAb0/KNA5vXFWjFs/s1600/mens-skinny-jeans-chronicles-of-never.jpg
You chose two really bad examples, both are rather horrible looking.

Anyways, are you going for something like this? http://assets0.tobi.com/files/images/seven-for-all-mankind/austyn-tricolor-a-relaxed-straight-leg-jeans-in-sangley-point/sangley-point/men/1/221x331.jpg

Those jeans are still a bit too baggy IMO.

If I'm not mistaken those are considered a regular. I can't do slim at all, if they touch my legs all yhe time i get incredibly uncomfortable.

I suggest you grow your hair long, start wearing combat boots, bullet belts, leather/denim jackets, military cargo pants and wear band t-shirts but not with bands like Avenged Sevenfold or whatever you kids listen to these days. Wear some REAL band t-s. Just a thought. Also, you may want to start looking at another store.

In this post, I'm talking about clothes in general. Really, every store has similar sizing as I had exemplified. It irks me because it doesn't matter much as to which store I go to, even online.

Well since I see you dsilike baggy clothes (how can you dislike baggy clothes???) I guess you may want to try a store like Hollister or something. I see kids from my high school go into those stores and come out with tightly-fitting, sharp-looking stuff. But of course stores like this cater to a certain type of person so you may end up with the wrong look. Anyway, I'm not really one to ask for fashion advice, I don't dress like your average teen. As for sizing, it's pretty stupid but what can you do eh?

Because they look shapeless and make the wearer look like he bought clothes a few sizes too big. They make a skinny person look ridiculous, and an overweight person look even larger. Nobody looks good in baggy, ill-fitting clothes.

Just curious, what state/country do you live in? Most malls have a few different types of stores you can go to, whether you want to look like a scrub or a dude with class.

I do have a problem finding stuff in a smaller size though; hate finding a sweet shirt and it's only in L, XL, XXL...

So what? I don't necessarily wear my clothes for others to like. I wear them because I like them and because they are [censored] comfortable. Technically, I have no problem with tight shirts (I look the best in a tight shirt and baggy sweat pants or military cargos) but skinny pants are torturous for me. I honestly don't think tight pants are meant for men. Besides, skinny pants look funny on a normal sized person and downright hilarious on a large one.

So what?

You asked how one could dislike baggy clothes. I answered.

I honestly don't think tight pants are meant for men. Besides, skinny pants look funny on a normal sized person and downright hilarious on a large one.

I also hate tight clothes. I think clothes that look the best on men are clothes that are fitted fairly close to the body, but are not tight.

I don't what you're talking about OP, I've never had any trouble finding clothes that fit me comftorably. I like clothes that are tight, but not too tight, just... fitting. I wear slim-straight jeans from Levi and when I buy shirts or something I just buy a slim-fit medium. Maybe you're looking in all the wrong stores?

Well I see what you mean now. I thought you meant something like what those scene kids wear.

I look best in skinny jeans, I don't like them too tight, but I don't like them too loose. I honestly cannot wear any pants that aren't skinny. The ones I buy are ones that form fit me but don't "outline my junk" :P, but I definitely can't walk around with my pants chafing. I guess the reason I only wear skinny jeans is because I'm skinny, therefore made for me. :3

A coat and scarf isn't really anything hipsterish...

...unless you wear it in summer or indoors all the time.

Um.

Coats and scarves were around a long time before the term hipster existed...

TBH, I'm not even sure what a hipster is...

Why would a man need a scarf though? Real men don't have necks.

How is wearing a coat and scarf in chilly weather a hipster thing? I see people wear it who probably don't eveb know what hipster means (like old men)
