A couple of months ago, Kris Birch decided it was time to buy himself some jeans.
Instead of heading to the men's section at Fashion Square Mall's Pac Sun, which he manages, the 20-year-old Essexville resident bought a pair of women's jeans.
And he felt no shame.
"It wasn't a big deal at all," Birch said. "You were seeing it around a lot already by then."
A fashion trend is directing young men -- early teens to early 20s -- toward the opposite side of the store, where they're buying girls' and women's pants.
Birch said he bought his pants to accommodate his bike-riding lifestyle. Women's jeans typically make for a tighter fit around the legs.
"It's not so baggy, so it
doesn't get caught in the chain," Birch said. "It makes it easier to flow. I have a lot of them now."
The fashion move started to gain momentum about six months ago, said Troy Darling, a 24-year-old store manager at Hollister in Fashion Square.
"It's a new punk rock sort of thing," said Darling, who lives in Saginaw. "We definitely see it a lot now."

If I show my slip, I park for free at Ben Taub.
Of course, I didn't have to borrow the slip. It is mine.
It used to be hard to find a woman's brand of Levi's and it just had to be the brand name Levi. So we used to wear guys jeans with the baggy butt. LOLOL! I'd ask my boyfriend if my rear end looked funny in them and he'd say, no, looks the same as everyone else. ROFL!! Now I see how funny they looked.
LOL! That sounds so funny.

Flyer, you can always depend on me to let you know if your slip is showing.
And she'll do it in code so you won't be embarrassed.
Something like "It's snowing down south."
I'll do the same for you, Allegra, if your slip shows when we go mooning during your next visit.
:-)
Let's go down on the field and moon during the eighth inning.
How about you take the first base/right field side and I'll take the third base/left field side. You know, for maximum exposure and all.
