How do you dress?

Recommended Posts

I used to wear an upside down cross around my neck with a choker style necklace but it broke and I've replaced it with a small upside down pentagram.

 

Isn't an upside down pentagram a pentacle? You filthy witch.

Isn't a pentacle a pentagram with a circle around it? I think so. So I actually wear an upside down pentacle.

 

Now leave me so I can sacrafice some virgin goats to Satan.

Yeah, I've got pink shirts, but the only time I'll ever pop a collar is if I'm doubling up on the polo shirt's. I never pop the collar on a dress shirt, because I don't see the point.

 

As for my attire, your typical preppy/surfer boy style. Loose jeans (and yes, I have some of those "destroyed" jeans), cargo shorts, jean shorts, polo's, button downs, and I tend to love T-shirts with random sayings on them (such as the one I scored at Abercrombie the other day which has a drawing of a broken egg with the phrase "Humpty Was Pushed"). When I get really preppy I've got black dress pants or loose khakis to go along with the more dressy buton down shirts. When the weather is cooler I've got a collection of hoodies as well, plus my hockey and football jerseys to rotate, and now a soccer jersey my sister just brought home for me from Italy. I've got a ton of shirts...I could easily wear a different shirt a day without repeating an outfit for at least two months straight.

Yes but what is the point of buying the jeans already destroyed? I kind of feel a sense of satisfaction when my jeans have been worn for so long that the knees are gone. I really will never understand fashion.

Can't forget hoodies.  When it gets chilly, but not cold enough for my leather jacket (out here in California, it rarely gets too cold at night) I'll throw on a hoodie.  The ones I have look good on me and make me appear to not be as sickly skinny as I truly am.

It does here by the beach oddly enough. So I to have to wear my blue hoody (that I have had for about 5 YEARS) often, but hardly ever a heavy coat or jacket.

 

 

I basically wear jean/denim shorts and various tshirts, though mostly the same 7 plain different colored ones that I get at mervyns, plus a few Yankee tshirts and my one Yank pinstripe home jersey. My problem is that I never get rid of any of my tshirsts as my closet is full of shirts that I haven't worn since high school (including my massive collection of wrestling shirts from the boom era). I don't like pants so I stick to shorts sicne I can get away with it here in Sunny cali.

 

Since I don't currently work I don't have many nice clothes or shoes. Hell I have 2 pairs of cheap payless vans-ripoffs sneaks that I wear all the time. I have one pair of dress shoes and pants that I haven't worn since my HS graduation in 2000. I don't go out often so I don't have any "bar clothes"

 

Since I lost a lot of pounds recently, I am able to fit into some of my older clothes I had outgrown, and alot of them are still in good shape so that's cool. (Like right now I'm wearing some black jean shorst that have to be at least 5 years old, but I hadn't worn in years since I didn't fit them till I lost the weight.

 

So basically I dress casual I suppose and since I am a regualr guy I don't care much for fashion.

 

I probably desperately need a makeover :D

I have no fashion sense, I wear black t-shirts and black jeans at work and at home I wear white tanktops with camo or plaid colored shorts. Horrible.

 

 

When going out its black khaki pants and button shirts with dragon/oriental designs.

Pretty much year round I just wear these plain t-shirts I buy for 4-7 $ each at the mall and shorts. Oh and the one pair of tennis shoes I own. In the winter if it gets really cold I switch to jeans, but this winter I made it without having to switch.

I'll wear blue jeans but not jean shorts, and khaki/cargo shorts but not long pants. :o! I have no idea why.

 

I dress really conservatively. A plain, monochrome polo or ribbed cotton tee, or just a t-shirt. I've got a few with designs, including <--------------- that one, but mostly plain white or gray tees. Jeans or shots, with sandals in the spring/summer/fall (no socks) and plain black shoes in the winter. Or for work. @#$%. I love sandals. Wintertime, I'll wear a lot of heavier sweaters as well as a few hoodies I have lying around.

 

And a Twins hat. Always. ALWAYS.

BTW, Champs Sports has really comfy basic tees at 3 or 4 for $20, and they run in very large sizes. Highly recommended. No pocket or anything, so you can even rock the white ones as an undershirt.

Typically it depends how i'm feeling. If i'm lazy, in a rush, and a friend says we are going out and he will be here in 5 minutes, I put on my Blue Jays hat (black one) a regular t-shirt, tommy jeans, and reebox flip flops. If i'm going out to a bar i'll usually wear a button up shirt or a white or black golf shirt with everything else mentioned above (minus hat) I used to hate wearing shorts because I would look incredibly gay with regular shoes and socks but ever since I got the flip flops i'm usually wearing the khaki shorts.

 

Edit: Can't forget my pretty expensive Roots watch ( Birthday present, Would never spend 200 bucks on a watch with my own money) and a cheap 10 dollar necklace from Bootlegger.

Two points down, one up: pentacle. Two points up, one down: pentagram. Circle irrelevant, I believe.

I'd imagine you'd know better than me. Then I wear a pentagram, I think. Whichever is the one that looks like a goat? That one.

 

I never realized this was all so confusing.

I typically wear polyester tops (usually Polartec and similar fabrics), synthetic trail shorts, and merino wool socks. I tend not to ever buy cotton clothes anymore since their performance is simply inferior to synthetics and wool. Most of my clothes are from brands like North Face, REI, Patagonia, and so on. One piece of clothing I wear a lot is a North Face soft shell jacket which performs spectacularly in a wide variety of conditions. I tend to shop for clothes on Ebay (where high performance brand names come at cheap prices) and at thrift stores (where somehow I always find good stuff that I can't understand how anyone would toss away). Today I noticed that my socks cost more than the rest of the outfit I was wearing, which was somewhat amusing.

Now I don't wear torn jeans, but what's so hard to get about it being the current style? Sure, some people think it's stupid, but there are always those that go against the current trends (just like real baggy jeans in the 90s, black jeans in the 80s, ect).

I recently saw a pair of expensive jeans which were pre-torn, AND pre-paint splattered. It's getting really excessive.

I think it more stems from the fact that I only notice like dickheads wearing these clothes around me so it sours me from it.

Oh god. Apparently so. I can't stand those shirts, and think they look ridiculous on people. Not one person I've seen wearing those kinds of shirts has been anything short of geektastic.

It's not a fucking current style. It's a past style of the 80's/early 90s.

The only people I see wearing shirts like that are fat guys or skinny geeks.

Summer: Plain white t-shirt (if any shirt at all), cargo shorts (beige or camo) or a pair of black cutoff's that used to be jeans and now come down to my knees, and Chucks.

 

Winter: Band/wrestling shirt, plain black hoodie, jeans, combat boots.

 

Spring and Fall varies depending on how close to Winter/Summer they are.

If asked what kind of guy wears those shirts, I'd say guys like you. Well, I wouldn't specifically think of you, but the person I described would be much like you.

 

I could wear those if I wanted. There's not much I'd look bad in. I can't wear as many women's clothes as I'd like, unfortunately, though.
