I bought these on a whim on clearance at Express. I haven't decided if I should keep wearing them.

Also, I need a haircut and a shave, jesus.

[Ozymandias]

Yeah, you're definitely rockin' the Tyler Durden look.

[est]

Hey you guys,



My name is Ponda, I like Jeeps, sandals, overpowering cologne and also date-rape

[Katherine]

That picture makes me so sad that I cannot grow a moustache.

[Lunchbox]

I am here to state my opinion on boots over jeans.

This is my opinion.

[Jimmy the Squid]

An addendum to my previous post about aviators.

I know the theory behind huge sunglasses is that it is meant to make your face and/or head seem smaller by comparion, however it just comes off as if you are either trying to hide really bloodshot eye, other facial injuries or maybe even that you don't want anyone to see your big, dumb, ugly face. The problem is that a large portion of girls, and indeed guys, who wear giant sunglasses are probably reasonably attractive people. I like to look at reasonably attractive people, not their glasses.

[ViolentDove]

Lunchy, that look is about fifteen times better than the currently ubiquitous jeans and riding boots trend. Nicely done!

I am here to state my opinion on boots over jeans.

That is a great photo. Who took it? I love the look of the scenery and depth in that shot, sort of this subtly off-kilter look like it's a set, not a real place. I think it's in the lens used; the wide angle flattens the perspective, giving a surreal look compared with the perspective you normally see in photos of people.

[Lunchbox]

One of my Flickr friends Gary took it. It was a bit muddy and boring, I photoshopped it.

[Nodaisho]

Glad to see at least some people know where the awesome is (in regards to boots and pants), I wear that pretty much every day, even though sadly, my favorite jeans are white, black boots don't go so well with that, so I wear them outside of the boots. I think muted green pants are best, probably cause they looks similar to olive drab.

I think the baddest motherfucker part kind of gets ruined by my driving cap, that doesn't look badass unless you are carrying an AR-18. But... what is a badass hat? Without being over-the-top, like viking helmets, I can't think of any.

[Lunchbox]

Not many men can pull off a decorative vegetable.

[Liz]

And we all know how the ladies love a man that looks good with a decorative vegetable.

[Ozymandias]

The celery doesn't need any reason except for that it could be good for your teeth.

Like the banana is a good source of potassium.

It's just common sense.

[Lunchbox]

And the jelly babies?

[Ozymandias]

Even the Master agrees with the use of jelly babies.

That's just a universal tool of tastiness and the occasional diversionary tactic.

[20 jazz funk greats]

How can anyone say no shorts in the summer?

easily. at the moment i only own one pair of shorts. the only time i wear these shorts is when i am lazing around my house or doing something  athletic.
shorts are an awful look for me because they either end up being too baggy or kinda skanky looking. neither of those options are appealing. i will stick with my skirts and jeans and occasionally dresses.

[RedLion]

Yeah but Roxy, the faux-hawk is intense. I approve.

[calenlass]

I substitute climbing pants for shorts because they are more breathable than jeans and shorter, but I don't get people whistling at me when I walk down the street. I mean, that is nice and all, but not all the time, and it is not worth the wedgie that I get from having the shorts ride up all the time (they all do. it's inevitable).



Also, guys, I may have a spending problem. Even though I don't have a job and I can't really even afford gas for my car really I am sick and tired of existing on cereal and pasta and only driving to the grocery store. So I bought some shoes.

[20 jazz funk greats]

it's okay as long as you're buying AWESOME shoes. 
i'm not really encouraging you to continue spending irresponsibly, but i do like your taste in footwear.

are climbing pants like capris?

[calenlass]

Sort of, I guess? Some of them stop 4 or 5 inches above the ankle, but usually they are more like just-below-knee-length. Most of them have ties and buttons and weird things to make them shorter, too, so you can keep them out of the way when climbing. Usually this makes them look more like breeches or knickers, but when you are rock climbing I guess that doesn't really matter that much. Note: I haven't climbed anything in a few months due to lack of money.



Edit: I am probably going to make one or two more irresponsible purchases before it is all said and done.

[McTaggart]

I really don't understand why women buy the shoes they do. Those last ones could be kind of cute, but the first two just don't make any sense.

[Chesire Cat]

Welcome to my life

[Liz]

Many women just really enjoy shoes, that's all there is to it, and Katie seems to like her shoes a bit more wild than the average woman.

I am more into more classic styles, like these, these, or these. If I want to go a little more wild, I will usually pick a classic style in a bright color, like these or these.

[calenlass]

I really don't understand why women buy the shoes they do. Those last ones could be kind of cute, but the first two just don't make any sense.

Oh, golly, why would I ever want ridiculous shoes?




Edit: Liz, a thing I have noticed with the "bootie-style" (what a ridiculous name for it), you know, the half boot or the ankle boot, is that unless one is wearing it under long pants it cuts length off onre's leg, so you look squat and shorter. I am not sure why it is any different visually than an ankle strap or t-strap, but it is. That is why I tend to stay away from them. The closest I personally would get is like this or this or maybe this.

[McTaggart]

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy shoes just as much as any, umm, woman. But those are just a little odd? I prefer Liz's taste in shoes, especially the last two she linked. Those in your first picture and the one of you are great too. I think it's that they seem more about the feet than the shoes?

I suppose it's more that I enjoy feet rather than shoes.

[calenlass]

Well, whatever man. Also, I don't see what is so ridiculous about some standard Mary Janes that happen to be in suede instead of patent leather.

[McTaggart]

Maybe it's just the angle in the picture but the suede ones seemed real bulbous around the ball of the foot. Now that I see the same shape from a different angle there is nothing wrong with that at all.

[calenlass]

Haha. Yeah, they are not that bad. I would definitely say they run to the antithesis of pointy-toed shoes, though. I hate pointy toed shoes.

[Drill King]

Man, I love shorts, I don't know how people don't like them(unless they feel uncomfortable). I however hate capris(beneath the knee to above the ankle).

[Aimless]

This post has to do with the price of jeans, and of clothes in general.

I just thought about what I currently have in my wardrobe, and came to a startling conclusion: the contents of my wardrobe is technically worth more than anything else in my possession. This was startling because, once upon a time, I didn't have any interest in clothes. Almost my entire wardrobe consisted of gifts or really boring and mostly cheap things I'd bought just to have something to cover my body with. And now, I have a wardrobe characterised (mostly) by colour and life and diversity--something nice and comfy for every imaginable occasion.

What was even more startling was the realisation that every single one of my jeans are worth 100+ USD, where once they'd have been closer to 20 bucks a piece (and chinos).

Thing is, I've bought almost everything in my wardrobe on sales--mostly two-for-one deals or at 70+% discount!

In my opinion, any man who wants to dress well--but doesn't care as much about being trendy--needs to get into the habit of shopping around and hitting sales hard. And often!

Expensive jeans do tend to both look better and last longer, but it's crazy to buy them at full price when you can just as easily get them at a heavy discount. And who's gonna sneer at you for wearing jeans you bought on a sale? Jeans last for years, no-one will know and no-one will care! Unless you've just bought bright-red jeans, of course.

This may all have already been said somewhere in the thread, but I didn't want to be the guy that reads through six pages of fashion talk

PS. Est, are you Cliff Simon?

[Drill King]

Later on today I will take pictures in some of my most ridiculous clothes that are rad.

[Leinad]

Why is that even a question in your mind? Yes!

[Drill King]

Not good pictures of this, but let me assure you this is the best dress eveer. Agree?

[Aimless]

It reminds me of avocadoes, which is great, but what would you wear it to??!

EDIT: I vaguely recall a pic of a dress you made from an oversized t-shirt and buttons. Now that's a sweet idea I think

[Drill King]

That was actually a shirt. But either way, I was planning on wearing it for EVERYTHING, New years eve parties, my mom's wedding, prom, my birthday, the bank..

[BlakeJustBlake]

So, hats.

I'm thinking about getting one.

Either a pork pie hat: http://us.st12.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I/dadshats_2015_27028682

A fedora: http://us.st12.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I/dadshats_2012_3605062

Or a cabby hat: http://content.answers.com/main/content/wp/en/thumb/3/3f/180px-Flat-cap.jpg

What does the fashion thread thing?

[Chesire Cat]

The cabby/poorboy hats are really big in Montreal.

The Fedora/Porkpie really take a certain type of build and look to pull off

[Aimless]

That was actually a shirt. But either way, I was planning on wearing it for EVERYTHING, New years eve parties, my mom's wedding, prom, my birthday, the bank..

Okay, I realise all I can offer is a guy's somewhat questionable opinion on what looks good and what doesn't, but I personally feel that dress is way too shiny and, what's the word... foldy-like. I'm sure you could totally rock it wherever and whenever you wear it, but yeah.

Okay so I may have a bit of a bias against shiny slinky foldy items. That shirt was brill though! I don't remember exactly what it looks like, but it gave off an aura of creativity

[BlakeJustBlake]

The Fedora/Porkpie really take a certain type of build and look to pull off

That and the right overall fashion to meld together with it, else you just look like a jackass in a porkpie hat.

[Chesire Cat]

Yeah Drill King you cant afford to go places you would wear that dress to lol.

And yeah Blake, thats what Im saying about the Hats, not everyone can tap their inner Joey Jeremiah and rock those with class and not come out looking like a tool designed to make d-bags

[Social Bacon]

The poorboy/cabbie/flatcap is my favourite piece of clothing. And I'm not sure it even counts as clothing.
Also, blazer with jeans? Good idea or bad idea? With a t-shirt, collared shirt?

[Aimless]

Depends on the blazer! But it can be a great combo. I'm not a big fan of wearing t-shirts with blazers, but some people pull it off very nicely Should be a nice but casual t-shirt, though, and probably not a v-neck

If you're going with jeans then a casual collared shirt works great. Get one that doesn't have to be tucked in.

The most important thing to consider is whether or not you look good wearing a blazer in a casual way!

[Chesire Cat]

Also NO GRAPHIC Ts under a blazer.  Generally patterns of any kind are a no, unless you maybe have an argyle sweater vest where one of the diamonds is the same colour as the blazer.  Also hoods under blazers or any jacket is really cool, makes you look like grizzled nice guy, and girls dig that for some reason.  So thing Dark Brown Blazer, really really really thing Grey Hoodie (never zipped up, think of it like the inner shell of the Blazer) and a Plain T (maybe not black it doesnt go well with brown)

[calenlass]

Dude Aimless why is your avatar Yanni? That is Yanni, right?

[calenlass]

Hey, man, I got no beef with Yanni. I just wondered why Aimless had Yanni as his avatar.

[tania]

why not? yanni is funny looking.

[Emaline]

Guys! I bought these pants...



And this shirt...



And I will probably wear them with these shoes...


Or maybe these

(not exactly these, though. I think mine are darker. And clearer...)



Will this look silly? Am I pretty terrible about matching things together?

[tania]

the skinny jeans will balance the stripes. go for it!

[Aimless]

Yanni thinks you might wanna have a splash of colour in there somewhere like, a red kerchief or something. Scarf.

Might also want to reconsider wearing grey shoes with grey jeans!
