Paging The Fashion Police
Posted on August 4th 2010 by Jillian Madison

The only thing more horrifying than an entire show dedicated to dueling FOOD TRUCKS is the pair of jeans Tyler’s wearing to promote the show:

tyler-tapered-jeans

Ewwwww. UGLIEST JEANS EVER. They’re hideous and cheap looking, not to mention completely unflattering. Can you say “sausages wrapped in denim?” I thought this guy was supposed to be hip and stylish… some pinnacle of culinary hotness… so why is he on my television wearing a pair of Blue Light Special husky Wranglers? Is he promoting a new show, or preparing to mount a bull? And didn’t anyone tell him tapered leg jeans weren’t even cool in 1991? Yikes. At least if his culinary career ever falters, he can earn a living doing catalog work.

    WOW! Those are some craptastic jeans! Maybe he’s trying to dress like he’s one of the ones driving the food truck. You know, so it’s more authentic and shite. But you know what trumps the jeans? Dem nasty shoes. Come on, Tyler! I expected more out of you. Or maybe the FN stylists really hate you…

  2. Goober says:

    He probably needs to shop at big ‘n tall stores these days. Big guys seem to prefer the old school, Levis 501 tapered look.

  3. Jensta says:

    I’m going to have to let him pass on this. I’ve seen worse on any (every) episode of Everyday Italian, Semi-Homemade, Ace of Cakes … I have less of a problem with his jeans and more of a problem with his pronunciation (and overuse) of “fantastic.”

    Tyler-style, pronounced “phen-test-ic,” and said very, very quickly.

  4. VinylChild says:

    Could someone clue me in as to WHAT jeans are fashionable for men these days – skinny, bootcut, straight leg?? I’m confused. I teach 6th graders and they seem to feel that skinny jeans are “in” – but does that apply to the entire populace?

    I dunno, but I think his jeans are fine. The man’s pushing 40 – I think “fashionable” is in the interpretation.

    • Dave says:

      Vinyl, you will never ever go wrong with a simple pair of bootcut, straight leg jeans. A little baggy through the thigh, so it does not look like “sausage casing” like Jillian hilariously noted above. Skinny jeans are only cool if you’re a dirty hipster or are under the age of 8.

    • BorgQueen says:

      Speaking from a female perspective, we do like less of a baggy cut in the butt area. Men have such cute little butts so jeans that hug without being cowboy-tight are HOT.

  5. and at least they look reasonably clean.

    so many jeans these daze look like a mechanic has been rubbing his greezy hands on them all day.

  6. Dave says:

    No self respecting television personality would show up on television in these jeans. Tapered leg jeans are not appropriate for any man, woman, or child of any age. They are dated and they make him look poor. If out-of-touch chubby douche is the image he’s going for, he nailed it. Otherwise he needs to hire a stylist and run along and pick up a pair of Sevens.

  7. BorgQueen says:

    Ew. Not only are they fug, they are so tight in the crotch you can see (apologizing in advance for this)Tyler’s “Ultimate.” No thanks

  8. carlos says:

    looks like something J. Peterman would wear in Tibet

  9. coffee-n-toast says:

    I’m more concerned about the Members Only-style jacket he’s wearing.

  10. semi-irate says:

    If they were aiming for the outfit to match his face, they succeeded. Tyler Florence is a douche, and I can only imagine he got picked to host this show because of it.

  11. MsFoodie says:

    Fail. Tyler, I don’t need to see your balls bud.

  12. Jonathan Doan says:

    That jacket is so gawdy, and the popped collar is pathetic. I agree, the jeans look terrible too, and so do the shoes. Someone should fire the stylist who let that go on air.

    Also, his multiple utterances of fantastic are almost as annoying as how he hops when he moves around his kitchen set.
    Hey, Tyler, it’s pronounced “Fan-Tas-tic” not “Phan-thas-tic”!

  13. LaLa says:

    Not sure if he was trying to look retro (80′s) with the jeans and Members Only jacket, or if he still thinks those things are cool.

    At any rate, it proves that he is heterosexual, because no gay man would ever be seen in public looking like that!

  14. Ferd Berfle says:

    Wearing a tie with ill-fitting jeans, let alone with a shirt whose collar is not designed to accomodate a tie, is always such a fashion “plus.” Really.

  15. Andrea says:

    whoa! I think Tyler needs too go back to the drawing board with these things, like an above comment said no one wants to see his ultimate sausage. on second thought instead of looking for a new pair of jeans he needs to air a Tyler’s ultimate Diet episode. chubby is not for him,

  16. Chris says:

    Is that Aida with bangs in te K Mart ad?

  17. Loric says:

    Express for men is generally the go-to for the young/hip look. It’s used by LA stylists for nearly every guy 22-32 (well, some are 35 and faking it.)

    http://www.express.com/for-him.sec

    It’s a middle of the road brand, not high fashion not discount rack. If you know their clothes, you see it a lot on TV and in print media.

  18. froglegs says:

    The sad part is they are probably $300.00 jeans. He & his separated at birth brother Bobby Flay both dress like they have no mirrors in their houses!!!

  19. Krista says:

    Can you say stubby??

  20. BrerMatt says:

    Maybe they are baggy jeggings.

  21. Syd says:

    Not sure if it’s the jeans or those CHILD BEARING HIPS he’s sporting.

  22. oh_come_on says:

    Alton managed to look great in Feasting On Asphalt, so what’s up w/ Tyler? He’s ‘too cool’ for a stylish I guess and it shows.

  23. Cookbook Katy says:

    Pick, pick, pick. Iconic working class jeans fit the Roach Coach venue just fine. Tyler’s food is great, gets me raves at home and at potlucks at work. So, yeah, I’ll be tuning in. My porn of choice is the food, not how somebody is storing his or her cleavage…

  24. FNFAN says:

    I think he looks good in those jeans. It actually looks like he’s beginning to lose weight.

  25. Gypsy says:

    I know zip about fashion, but I can say that his popped collar makes him look even more doofish than usual, and I don’t need to be seeing his balls framed by his jeans. Ew.

  26. BOO says:

    Honestly, the jeans are so dark at the bottom of the legs, makes me wonder if he tried to walk on water!

  27. kross says:

    I think he looks fine in these jeans. Would you prefer that he wear those horrendous skinny jeans that the kids are wearing? I think not!

  28. Mort says:

    Forget the jeans, that’s one doofus haircut. What happened to all the product he used to have in his hair? He also looks like he might have even shaved.

  29. Rando says:

    the whole thing is just horribly wrong. He looks like a 4th grader.

  30. MeliChaCha says:

    I’ll echo the fine folks on What Not to Wear: Jeans? Yes. THOSE jeans? Not so much. Between the bunching at the ankle and the fading in all the wrong places on your legs, you’re highlighting all the wrong things. Next time go for something in a straight leg, dark wash.

    TRUTH.

  31. Doogster says:

    They’re practically leggings that look like jeans.

  32. REKS says:

    he got some bad ball going on in those jeans
