Face off pants

[ben.carbonaro]

Hi there,
For some reason, it's as if every single girl I know has a pair of face off pants.

At my school, it was like a uniform for the youngens. Hoodie, face off pants and pair of gallaz or etnies etc.

Just wanted to get it off my chest as have felt embarassed to talk about it before coz it ain't a guys type thing to talk about.

To all you girls out there, what is so good about them ?

 

[beckybiglands]

Ok, I'm going to show my age...
What the hell are we talking about here?

Hoodie, gallaz and etnies I understand ... face off pants - not a clue.

 

[beckybiglands]

Hoodie- I'm fluent in, the rest is all crazy talk...

Now you see, I'm a school student and I've never heard of any of them.

Gallaz and etnies = skate shoes, not rare.

Now someone explain the pants thing.

 

[ben.carbonaro]

Gallaz and etnies

Yeah,
I know they are skate shoes.
Wear skate/surf gear my myself actually.

Face offs are those tight pants with the little pockets on the front, you might know the ones I mean. Most popular in grey, navy blue, black etc for skool

Hope that helps.

Open you're eyes Charlie. Just about every pair of shoes girls have are etnies, or gallaz.

 

[beckybiglands]

Ah, see around here we call them skate shoes... How lame are we!

Now how the hell did those pants get that name? Boy am I glad I don't go to High School..

Haha, this is probably the first ever instance of someone suggesting Charlie should improve his level of perception about the world around him.

Very popular down here in Victoria.

Don't know about other states though ?

Must be a high school thing. Or a non-Geelong thing.

 

[bluecrow]

Most people I know have them...but only for work. 'Cos if you need black/navy pants for work, they are virtually the only type that don't look like Grandma pants

 

[ben.carbonaro]

I reckon some of them look not the best though.

There is a whole line of jeans as well.

We have this shop where I live called CTY, it's like nothing but face off and all the youngens shop there.

It's like a uniform for them and wonder if they have ever heard of individuality.

 

[ben.carbonaro]

But also popular with the youngens at my school as casual stuff as well.

I think most of its been summed up anyway but his my two cents worth.

Face off is the brand name, They are good for school or work because they do look alot better then other types of pants. They come in small sizes so they really don't cater for a wide range of people. They are quite comfortable too, just not very warm.

They also make some really nice jeans in the same brand. A large reason to why they are quite popular would ahve to be the cost they are pretty cheap in comparison to other brands and not to shabby either.

Just thought I'd mention that with this range you get what you pay for. Clothes i've found in this line don't seem to last that long, but then once in awhile i'lll buy a pair of face of jeans that are as good as a more expensive brand.

CTY is outside Market Square near 7-11.
I think they are so popular because they are so cheap. I don't own a pair but a few of my friends do.

 

[Eriiin]

They're relatively cheap jeans and clothing. I own one jacket.

Sold at places like Central Lane and Mischief (Doncaster)
Unsure as to where else.

Nothing special about them, they just seem to fit most people and have a broad, less expensive range of stuff.

Newish??? Cos it really doesn't ring a bell and the last time I was in the vicinity would've been a week or two ago.

I think it's been there since last year. Do you know where I'm talking about?

 

[Nic]

Yeah ... what side of 7-11? Moorabool St or Little Malop St?

Uni has kept me from shopping. Well, uni and laziness.

Good comments there will.

In regards to the pants, why do some girls have to get the smallest size so they are skin tight ?

I reckon loose would be more comfy wouldn't it ?

Was I right in saying that black and navy are the most popular ?

Noticed that there are so many different variations to the regular pair with the little pockets on the front.

Any of you gals got a fave type ?

Yep, I know what exactly you're talking about. I own a pair & also a face off jacket. I don't know why they're so popular. Every single girl at my High School wears them except about 10 girls LOL.
Because flare pants are 'in' right now everybody gets those Face Off ones, they fit nice for petite girls like me. They are made from a asian store so they aren't the best for tall girls. All my tall friends just wear the winter skirt because face off pants are too short for them and they don't know where else to buy pants.

BTW. this is in Adelaide. Even primary school girls wear them.

 

[ben.carbonaro]

Yeah,
It's the same down here in Victoria.

Another popular face off item I see around a fair bit is the long denim jackets, one of you gals get the face off one ?

 

[lioness]

I wear the Face Off jeans, because they're the only ones that fit me properly! I don't wear the pants because strangely, they don't have a size that fits me, but the jeans are perfect, reasonably priced and they have some really nice styles! I have an embroidered pair that are amazing.
