Do you like Slim or Chunky?

I’m not talking about women or men. I’m talking about your look. The person who prefers the slim look likes slim fitted jeans, small shirts or ones that fit just right, and sneakers and shoes that blend in with the rest. Anything light, not too bulky, or big and clunky.

The ones who like it chunky prefer straight legged, flared, or baggy jeans paired with large or medium t-shirts and chunky sneakers.

The people that like the slim look are mostly like to be seen in Converse, Supras, Creative Recreations, PF Flyers, Nike Blazers, Vans high tops, or black classic Vans Core. These are all common pair ups found on the streets today. People who like the chunky look are most likely to be seen wearing Nike Dunks SB, Air Jordans, Adidas high tops, Adidas shelltoes, Adidas Gazelles, Adidas Campus, Adidas Forum Lows, skate shoes, Puma Clydes or Bathing Apes. Anything that is firm and steady on the pavement.
