Hello tall folks! So I'm your typical bloke in his 40s that favoured a dark skinny jean throughout the 2010s (basically example 1).... I've noticed in recent years the trend has gone to a wider leg/relaxed loose fit, and so after spotting a pair in my size recently, i thought I'd try it (example 3).

I'm somewhere between a 34->36 waist, with a 36->38 leg, and it seems to vary depending on the retailer, which can be frustrating when you're completely restricted to online shopping only... So as you all will relate, I don't feel I have much choice out there, so happy to wear anything that just fits!

I don't want to follow fashion trends & just want to wear what suits my tall frame/age tbh, and I actually like all 3, they're all comfortable.... But I'm also wondering what suits me best ? Do I really need to throw out the slim/skinnys now? 🤣

Hey trance fans! I l was a MASSIVE fan of trance in the late 90s/early 00s, and was very much part of that super popular scene in the early 00s in the UK, most Fridays in 2001/2 were spent at Code Godskitchen which for me was peak... 😍 I've spent the last few decades since listening predominantly to this era (prob 98-04) .

Anyway over the last few years I've been checking out new trance and with a few exceptions, the tunes always only have one main breakdown, and all considerably shorter..... I'm still enjoying it , but why is this? When did this trend happen? I used to LOVE the second shorter breakdown, which would usually bring back the main melody/motif of the tune again for a 2nd time in a shorter breakdown before the tune ends.

It's hard to explain, but the somewhat formulaic layout of late 90s trance (think ferry corsten remixes/productions) really worked for me.... I miss it ! When did the single breakdown trance track become the standard ?

Best jeans for 6'9" 40-something?

When did trance drop the 2nd breakdown ? (Old classic fan listening to new trance....)
