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.

The pic that Cyrus posted is a good example on how a man should dress. (clean, crisp, nicely put together, etc...)

What's special about those? The first one is just a striped t-shirt. The second two are UGLY patterns. Nothing about them says they're anything other than just another t-shirt.

Basically, they cost a lot of money. That's about it. Which is why I said earlier I'm not paying more than $50 on a t-shirt. But when someone is wearing this to a nice bar, they usually have on equally expensive jeans, shoes, and maybe a blazer. You can tell the t-shirt they are wearing isn't cheap.

I'm also not a fan of those t-shirts with the patterns on them like that. I just like a simple solid or stripe t-shirt.

They have shirts like that at Khols and I love them, they are cute. Just wish more guys would look at the manicans and see how they look and go from there :biggrin:

Most manicans use steriods. LOTS of steroids.

They're Hugo Boss. They're recognizable. Evo Child says that designer t-shirts are allowed. People that know fashion can tell. It would be lost on me. Like my girlfriends that could tell if a man's shoes cost under $600. The guys I worked with always wore fine suits, usually costing around $1,600 at Barney's. Your boyfriend probably shops at Barney's. Have him take you there, my ex stocks up whenever he's in NY.

The way you dress reveals something about your personality.


I'm typically a t-shirt, hoodie, shorts and khaki pants type of person. What does that reveal about my personality?

T-shirts are ok to wear so long as they are nice t-shirts. Usually the nice ones are expensive though ~$50-60. And I'm not paying that much for a nice T-shirt.

Colored t-shirts that you find at places like banana republic, et al. are fine. They are a solid color, usually black, charcoal, white, brown, tan, dark red. They are dressy and not terribly expensive (around $16.00 each, I think?). Those typically look quite nice. Dark Jeans, belt, solid black t-shirt, and nice shoes. It has that architect look. I personally like it.

You really can wear almost anything, so long as it looks nice and well put together.

I hope that isn't all!

Depending on what I'm wearing, that might suitable as an undershirt at most.

I never wear t-shirts... ever. At the gym only. I always where, button shirts or polos. Which can be worn with different sweaters (or a sweater on its own), or a jacket.

Um, no. Thanks for your wrong opinion though. I agree with your style; however, you CAN wear a t-shirt alone. Summer time is too hot for a sweater/jacket. Polos all the time is too monotonous.

Sorry dude, doesn't work.

It looks straight out of a Sears catalogue regardless of where it's from. If you had an athletic build it can work, otherwise no.

Kind of a like a fat chick wearing a bikini. Some items are suited for particular body types.

I agree, but it's all I got for now.

I think my big issue is pants. I get sick of my pants really fast. I just completely changed like 3 months ago and I feel like I need a change again.

Ok, maybe I am wrong but I think models think that only they know how to dress ... and so they try to put down other models
