عادى و دمه تقيل جدا
ما انا جايبة_له منه ده
I know what دمه تقيل means when referring to someone's personality or sense of humor. Here, though, it seems the speaker is talking about the pants.

Selected
unattractive / dull
They're clearly referring to the pants' appearance. Therefore I chose two terms that are respective to appearances.
"Dull", though, is more of a "Slang" language, which you may find suits your context better.
