ex-boyfriend jeans by 12 years Levis 517

今年春夏新的牛仔褲潮流,便是ex-boyfriend jeans。關於這種褲子的介紹,
請參考延伸閱讀兩篇。

當08年底知道這種潮流之後,可以算是終於等到穿上我的10年Levis的時候了。
早幾年穿還會被取笑呢,但今年可大搖大擺地代表著時尚走在街頭囉。
這條褲子在年代及經歷的故事,完全符合年代牛仔褲(aged jeand)及前男友褲
(ex-boyfriend jeans)的兩項原則。先隨意照兩張照片來呈現一下。


這條褲子是我大三入手的,陪我度過社團走跳、營隊滾來滾去的青春歲月。
那時候是一般的牛仔藍色,在口袋邊緣和褲腳有作些許仿舊刷破,但是其他部位完
全沒有破洞。現在則是淺藍色,照片上還照深了點。因為活動多、人又瘦了幾圈,
褲子也就被我從合身穿到小垮,那時候也剛好流行二手Levis的鬆垮感,裡頭還可以再
多穿一條男生的卡通四角褲(這真是年少輕狂)。
但是沒過多久,突然變胖得嚴重,一年內暴增近15公斤,這條中高腰W28的褲子,就
再也扣不起來了。褲子放著也是放著,為了大力推薦Levis的好,只好轉讓給當時的男
友。於是,他就繼續穿著這條牛仔褲為了創立公司,東奔西跑。男生穿著,果然加快了
褲子的磨損速度。原先想舊衣回收的褲子,竟然因為褪色、磨破而越來越喜歡。分手時,
我理所當然地留下它。
有些物品會因睹物思人,不忍回憶而被丟棄。但是自己很喜歡的東西,好像就不
容易氣魄地扔掉。加上我也不是分手就決裂或清空的個性,這條褲子陪伴我的時光,
加上不退流行的靴型褲管,這件褲子就一直在衣櫃裡躺到現在。改天會再多拍幾張照
片以留作紀念。免得像另一條褲子,破在尷尬的地方,無法再穿了。
下面幾張圖,是當季昂貴的年份暨前男友褲。左邊兩張是AG、右邊是C/E。當然啦,
這幾條是相當相當好看的呀!!我只是藉著潮流來叨唸一下自己的小故事,老人家都這
樣吧!! 呵呵。



非常值得參考的延伸閱讀:(還不會用文字連結~~~)

7 For All Mankind Bell Bottom in Iceland


實穿圖(含遛兔照,傍晚色偏藍。)
在陽光下的 7 For All Mankind Bell Bottom in iceland及兔子陳小墨。兩者
竟然非常協調呢。
因為遛兔子穿帆布鞋,有點短腿,不過iceland真是一條遛兔子的好褲。我可以理解
好萊塢明星為何在私底下會穿著7FAM,7FAM榮登我的實穿褲第一名!!
下圖右,大喇叭隨風飄搖的模樣真是不賴。

下圖左,慣性駝背,所以褲子沒有照好,大概可以看出刷紋。主要重點在陳小墨-今夏流行
新包,這個搭配還不錯吧!

Jessica Alba抱小孩,我抱兔子....:P
因為我的腰臀很不好(從小就是沒腰的孩子啊),以往買褲子為了將就腰圍,
臀部和大腿的部分都會很鬆。而7FAM Bell Bottom完全就是腰圍剛好、臀部的
部分夠包,iceland布料舒服,實在很適合水腫的時候穿著呢。(W25微鬆,舒服。)
我想我應該會繼續購買7FAM吧。

[基本資料]
• Color - Iceland
• 34" Inseam
• 9.5" Rise
• 98% cotton 2% elastane
• 13" in the knee breaks to 26" at the leg opening
• Distressed front and back pockets
• Whiskering along front pockets
• Manufacturer Style No. U0029B514S
• W25


實品細部照片。 實際顏色比預期顏色來得淺。口袋略刷破。

疑心病很重,還是有量褲腳寬度,26"沒錯。
前方口袋有抓摺。


褲腳刷破及膝蓋處的放射狀刷紋。晴朗天氣的天空藍。

7 For All Mankind 2008 Low Rise Bell Bottom with Gore in Cozumel

• Color - Cozumel (科蘇梅爾- 7FAM以地名來命名刷色)
• 34" Inseam
• 7.5" Rise
• 98% cotton 2% spandex
• 14" in the knee breaks to 24" at the leg opening
• Distressed front and back pockets
• Whiskering along front pockets
• Raw cut hem (不車邊)
• Manufacturer Style No. U0071490S
• W24





實品圖如下。
在膝蓋與小腿連接觸的放射狀刷紋,實在令人無法抗拒。褲腳寬度確實有24",
若將打摺拉開就有26"。有次去sweet camel詢問櫃姊有沒有這樣的款式,櫃姊
除了跟我說SC沒出之外,還認為我必定是將公分看成英吋,並認為現在沒有人
穿26"的牛仔褲。

在兩種修改方式,反摺裁短及不車邊裁短,猶豫不決。反摺裁短,事情較簡單,
但會顯得下擺厚重;保留不車邊,維持軟布的飄逸感,但若後悔就沒救了。
還是先用雙面膠黏一黏,穿出門晃晃再說?!






[關於改褲長的後續]


實在不想犧牲掉喇叭的寬度,就為了這兩條Bell Bottom,開始尋覓以前討厭的楔型鞋。
我總認為高跟鞋就是要細跟啊,那種弧度才較完美。但是若要搭配這兩件Bell Bottom,
我便需要11-13cm的高跟鞋,穿著11-13cm的高跟,其實非常折磨。再加上細高跟的一
抬一放,絕對會跟喇叭打架,一定會有導致絆倒自己的那天。所以就開始尋找有著厚厚
底的楔型鞋。KORS實在很不賴,但是得找代購,4000元以上的鞋子,尺寸沒有拿得完
美,我會很不高興。百貨專櫃買得下手的,至多也就是這個價位,往上不考慮。

鞋款樣式上又偏好歐美設計,原先Nine West是首選。但今年的Nine West楔型鞋,並無
法引起我的購買慾。Fiorucci有兩雙made in italy的綿羊皮鞋款很不賴,不過顏色及拖鞋
款令我猶豫。很固著地,又來到Aldo,然後櫃姊說昨日剛到貨的鞋符合我的需求,鞋版
也夠舒適。於是就買下了這雙暗粉色與赭咖色交錯的11cm楔型鞋。這讓我的Cozumel,
完全不用修改!!
