Blue shirt with blue jeans?

pokermonk — Tue, 30 Oct 2007 14:20:25 -0800

When is it (if ever) fashionable to wear a blue shirt with blue pants - particularly blue jeans? It seems always wrong to me or at least a labyrinthian puzzle far beyond my clothing wisdom, but I feel like I have seen it pulled off with dash and cunning.

Does skin tone matter? If extra non-blue layers can make it work, what colors create a requirement for the minimal number of those layers? I want to know everything there is to know about blue-on-blue.

I realize the collective pool on Metafilter is a bit on the deep-side of nerdy, but I'd like to hear from any geeked-out, closet fashionistas...

If it is possible, give me RGB values or a kuler swatch.

I'm looking for full-length HQ clips of the Jpop videos of °C-ute's PVs, Ookina Ai De Motenashite and Massara Blue Jeans, or any others known. FYI: Lyrics (some with translations) can be found here.

My legs are just long enough. They reach all the way to the ground.

How to shorten blue jeans and keep the cuff? I bought some jeans at Banana Republic this weekend that, as most jeans are, are about 4 inches too long for me. I want to shorten them but keep the cuff the way it is. I've heard that you can have this done when you take your pants to a tailor, so my question is: Is there any way to do this myself with my sewing machine at home? This post on a discussion board is all I've been able to find so far, and they didn't reach a consensus. Anyone know of a site that shows how it's done, preferably with illustrations or photos? Or should I just save myself the hassle and go get them professionally altered?

Why the white stripes on blue jeans?

Tell me about the blue jeans young people wear these days - the kind with the big white blotches. Are these what's known as acid- or stone-washed jeans? If not, what's the correct term?

I realize the desireablity of broken-in jeans, and the dorkiness associated with a brand new pair.... but in my experience, they usually go white only at the knees, and the seams. This current fashion - what's with the fading on the back side? And sometimes, not the legs, but the seat - I'm especially baffled about the fashion sense of someone who'd choose to look like she's been sitting in a puddle of bleach.
