Those pants don't look as bad b/c they are not cuffed, tappered, and have one single pleat. Having multiple pleats = FTL. And he is wearing them above his true waist OVER his bellybutton... /lame.
I hate cuffed pants of any sort. But I suspect it would take more than a lack of pleats or cuffs to make some of us look hawt, myself included.
I'm immune to the gayness of this thread as a result of my great age. Sadly no wisdom has sprung from reaching my geriatric state other than the immunity.
