Click For Summary
The discussion centers around why many men do not dress more fashionably, highlighting various perspectives on fashion, comfort, and societal expectations. A well-dressed man is often seen as attractive, yet many men express a lack of interest in maintaining a fashionable wardrobe due to the costs and effort involved. The conversation touches on the perception of what constitutes "fashionable," with some arguing that it is subjective and varies by age and context. Many participants prefer comfort and minimalism over formal attire, often opting for casual clothing like t-shirts and jeans. There is also a consensus that fit is crucial; poorly fitting clothes can detract from a person's appearance, regardless of the style. The thread concludes that while some men may dress casually, they can still look presentable with the right fit and choice of clothing, emphasizing that personal style reflects one's personality.

It's because you do wear that abercombie type stuff.

Um... it's what I own.

I'm comfortable naked, but that's not legal.

im big on abercrombie/ hollister. abercrombie for jeans and hollister for shirts. I am small and the clothes are quite form fitting. a lot of the time, especially in the summer i usually go with a band shirt or a white hanes t shirt. shamefully, I've been wearing a fitted for the past few days. i needed something to cover my messed up hair every day haha

usually the lights are off and I am laying down when that goes down. a lot of the time it goes down at the girls house. i have a little sister so i try not to do anything like that when there is a slight chance that she can walk in

Lately I've found things I like at Express Men or H&M, though I tend to like the former more so than the latter.

You turn the lights off? I hate the lights off. I don't remember the last time that happened.

Plus, what if you want to do it in the kitchen, living room, the closet... etc...

"Fashionable" is a relative term, so by definition only 1/2 of us guys can dress that way.

As for me, I'm following Kurdt's lead and wearing this very stylish racing helmet:

As I'm sure Kurdt will agree, it provides ample protection against governmental mind control experiments. I am willing to fit anybody's avatar with a protective Kurdt helmet, but please note that supplies are limited. Price negotiable.

I'm pretty sure that to be fully protected, you need to line it with tin foil.

I had to walk through JC Penny to get inside the mall when I saw Levis Silver Tab jeans. A pair caught my eye (pretty dark jeans, slim straights), I tried them on and holy **** they fit absolutely perfectly. It's almost as if they had my exact body in mind when making them. Normally I never get *ANYTHING* at JC Penny, but this turned out great. They were on sale for 36.99 so I got a pair (they usually run around 59.99 I think, and I would have bought them for that price as well). The only problem is that they have the tightest pockets I've ever encountered in any jeans. Ever. When they are off of me, laying on the ground, it's hard to get my cell phone out of the pocket.

Seriously moose, it's time to upgrade your cell phone.

That's 10x more sexy than some stupid iphone. I'd use this phone all over town just to see peoples reactions to it. It's bigger than a freaking walki-talki.

Someone got me a gift card from sears that had $100 on it. Everything was on sale at sears, so I bought some clothes with it. I already know 99.9% of the stuff in there is total overpriced CRAP. So I took my time and had my eye open for hidden gems. The VAST majority was EXPENISVE (I'm not paying more than $20 for anything from SEARS that's going to fall appart. The stuff was mostly falling appart on the shelf brand new!). Some of the tags said $50! I could go to Banana Republic or Guess for $50.00, gimme a break!

So, I got a red dockers sweater for $20.00; some really dark structure jeans for $24.00, and a bunch of ties. Two are pink, one is yellow, and the last is green/blue stripes. The grand total was $110.00. So you don't need to spend money to make something look nice, but you need to know what to buy and what size to find.

First one: the suit jacket, black leather shoes and button up shirt I already had. But I mixed it up with the new jeans and tie that cost a whopping $30.00 total. But you'd never know because the shoes, jacket and button up shirt cost much, much more. :wink:

In this picture, only the shoes, watch, and white button up shirt are high end. The rest is from sears. Sweater: $20.00, Tie: $10.00; Jeans, $24.00.
