A seamstress shop next to a gunsmith shop would be a complementary business, especially if the seamstress had a heavy duty machine.

Because that's what I want to look like; a sloppy, dirty, drug addict.

I dunno. Looks like a sloppy, clean drug addict to me. Just sayin'

I'm 57 years old, wearing 10 year old clothes...

Do you realize how prescient James Dean was?



I'm still wearing the same sort of clothes I wore in high school...

I used to wear jeans all the time when I was younger, but as I've gotten older and a bit thicker I now find chinos to be more comfortable.  The fact that they look classier is a bonus.

I still prefer t-shirts when it's warm, sweatshirts when it's cool, and wool sweaters when it's cold.

Shirts with collars are a problem because my arms are a little long for my body.  If I buy them in medium they fit well but the sleeves are too short; if I buy them in large the sleeves are OK but they look baggy.  Sweatshirts and sweaters don't pose a problem because it doesn't matter if they're baggy.

I probably look most stylish in winter with my wool sweaters and corduroy pants.

fashion is so subjective....LOL

I'm quite fortunate. My work attire each day consists of shorts  (I like the Columbia Omni- Dry), golf shirt, ankle socks and tennis shoes. In the winter, I add warm up pants.

I'm buckin' the trend here. I think the girl looks just fine. I like the whole outfit, actually.

Fashions come and go. Some stick around, some don't. The timeless always stays, and the trends usually fade.

I've never been one to put much value in clothing - at least not since I put away the leopard-skin spandex pants, elf-boots, and Aqua-Net in the late 80s.

My standard uniform for about the past 20 years is a pair of long shorts, a sleeveless T-shirt, and sneakers. The shorts come out in the Spring when the temp hits about 55 or 60º, and they get put away in the Fall when it gets down to about 45º. In between it's jeans and the same damn sleeveless Ts. If I have to spend time outside I put layers over my sleeveless Ts.
...

If I have to wear sleeves or long pants when it's warmer I get annoyed. If I have to dress up for any occasion I get really annoyed. When I'm forced to wear a suit, the tie comes off at the first opportunity, the coat next, and as soon as a change of clothes becomes remotely possible, the standard uniform comes back out. At weddings, funerals, family gatherings, formal functions, etc, I look for the first sign that things are loosening up, and I excuse myself to change my clothes. Funny how when I do that, often times other people at these functions take it as their cue to do the same thing.

I dress for comfort, plain and simple. How I appear to someone else is not even a secondary concern. I find clothing more restricting than I've described to be...restricting. I don't like more fabric than necessary touching my limbs. I'm strange that way, I guess.

The girl in the photo looks comfy. And kinda cute. Different strokes, I guess.

holy crap! i couldn't describe myself any better!
