Jeans a wonderful invention, i wear nothing else, they
come in all colors, my favorites are black, white and
blue, they come in many different styles, but its getting
hard to them with buttons, which i prefer.
i don't like shoes, if I'm not in trainers i wear ankle
length pull on boots, but they are getting hard to
find.
i don't like shirts, i always wear T shirts, but its
getting hard to find them without logos.
i go clothes shopping about once every four years
because i hate shopping, and it drives me nuts
going from shop to shop looking for my type of
clothes. how about you?

I like velcro shoes
 
I just immerse myself in quick-drying latex first thing Monday morning. Friday night I peel it off. The weekend is spent furiously scratching my naked body, and Monday starts it all over again!

Jeans are the ultimate trousers. I don't think I have worn any other kind of casual trousers since I was 11... 8 years of jeans.

I always wear t-shirts with funny comments on them because not many of my friends have them, and they always wonder where i got them from.

I also own a pair of velcro shoes which i think are classy.


I used to have the same problem Njorl, but then i decided to paint my clothes on instead until I was arrested.
 
Jeans are the greatest invention. One of the most important things I consider when taking any new job is how often I can wear them to my job. I have turned down jobs because they would not allow denim. T-shirts are the next greatest piece of clothing, and my closet is full of T's--what's weird is lately I have had a liking for striped t's??
 
In spring, fall and winter...Jeans, sweatshirts, warm socks with Bass clogs. In summer...Shorts, tube or tank tops with Bass sandals. Guess I like Bass shoes. :biggrin: At work I wear hospital scrubs (basically pajamas) and soft clogs. I think I have a dress somewhere. I fall off of high heels. Any of you guys have that problem? :smile:

Mostly, I just wear jeans and khakis. I wear the khakis because of work, though.

The nearest i have been to wearing high heels is when i tried
ice skating, how do people stay up on those things, within five
minutes i had bruises everywhere.

Last jeans I owned was in 1993. I was walking along the side of a highway in California, and decided my pack was too heavy, and started throwing things in the bin. That was the last time I ever had jeans. Now it's just monkey-suits for work, shorts or track pants for home.

I've never been that fond of jeans. I was a teen during the designer jeans craze, and I could never find any jeans that fit right. I was an avid biker, and each of my thighs was as big as my waist. No Jourdache or Calvin Cline's for me. Even Wrangler and Lee changed their cut to be unwearable. I suppose nowadays I could have bought them 8 sizes too big and let them hang off my ass. I'd be a fashion plate! Now, I go right from sweats to dress pants.

Cut-off sweats are best things in the world. They're even better than sitting around in your underwear because they stop the backs of your thighs from sticking to the furniture!

wolram-
Ice skates + Tsunami => not a pretty picture. The comparison of ice skates to high heels is a good one. They feel about the same to me. :rolleyes:

Njorl-
I thought all you wore was a red jumpsuit! :biggrin:
