Anyone here dress well?

Daniel Tosh, high fashion.

Don't worry, I get funny looks when I go out in public wearing my expensive mesh shirts.

My friends recently asked me why I spend so much money on nice clothes and accessories and I realized that I didn't really have much of a response other than, "because I can and to meet new girls." but I didn't actually say that. I just told them that I like the quality.

So on a normal day, I'll usually have a nice Lacoste polo or RL polo, some True Religion Jeans, a Louis Vuitton belt with matching wallet and some nice shoes. I mean sure I like to buy LV things, but it's not like I'm hurting anyone when I do it. Why do people always have to judge others based on their appearance?

Does anyone else have this problem?

I googled chefmacdaddy too and the first picture was a guy in a blue polo so I checked and nope. I thought the same thing ericwalker thought. It didn't have a recognizable logo on it so it can't be him!

Damn it, I googled him as well.


Low probability: He's the old bald guy who cooks.
High probability: He's the guy in the turquoise-blue polo.

Medium possibility: He is Hold.

90% of what you are paying for in those good clothes is a designer label. Truly good clothes should be made to fit you properly in which case you get stuff made for you by a tailor or at least altered. The same goes for shoes by a cobbler.

Personally I just find the stuff that fits me best, looks like it was made well, uses fabric I find comfortable and I like the looks of. I could care less about the brand. I usually go to Macy's since they carry the widest selection of clothes I like and I loathe to go to more than one store a year for clothing.

I can only guess that people even say anything about your clothes because you either talk about them yourself, wear stuff that is really ostentatious or both. Otherwise no one really give a flying fart about what you are wearing unless it is filthy, ostentatious, inflammatory or obscene. Wearing well fit clothes in good condition gives a more favorable subconscious impression than other clothing.

I'm a small guy, finding a good fitting pair of jeans or t shirt is hard. A lot of the Macy's or Dillards brands don't carry XSmall sizes. Which is why I spend so much time looking for a nice fitting brand. Armani Exchange has the perfect fit for me with their shirts. Of course I don't buy the stuff that has AEX plastered all over it, but more of the low key bright colored stuff.

Jeans and t-shirts, as cheap as possible. It ain't about the wrapper, it's about what you get when you tear it off. :)

LOL true that ;)
 
I dress pretty well myself. I've actually had a couple of girls walk up to me and tell me "you look so fashionable". It's weird though because I just wear clothes that fit instead of like, idk sports teams shirts and basketball shorts. I get a lot of compliments on my shoes as well.

It's whatever, some people spend their money on new Xbox games. I spend my money on new clothes or whatever.

That's true to an extent, but if you look like an idiot with clothes why would anybody approach you?

idk, for me it signifies an entirely different mentality. When I see girls wearing clothes that have giant PINK written all over them or whatever, I just know they are people who don't understand that they're being used as advertisements and generally superficial people who care about branding.

in other words, people I don't care to associate with.

I don't wear such things. Usually just a plain t-shirt and jeans. Although, if I'm being honest- these are two printed tees that I own. And with these I'm simply promoting myself. :D

The second gets me quite a bit of attention. ;)

I dress like a blind, and agonizing drunk, child and when my clothes fall apart I just stitch them back together with a few threads.

Edit: put in a few more words
 
"The problem with crazy people, they don't know they are crazy."
Doesn't that mean that... you could be crazy? And/or I? Oh god, the paranoia.
 
I don't tend to judge guys based on appearance. I think a sexy guy in a nice suit is just as sexy in a pair of jeans and a nicely fit t-shirt. It's all about confidence and if dressing nice makes you feel confident, great.

But if it's too over the top, that's doing more harm than good. And if that's all you have to attract a partner, you're in trouble unless you're just looking for a shallow one nighter.

I don't go out clubbing much anymore but when I do I can guarantee there is always "that guy" who is trying to do too much and pours it on way too thick. I'm polite but send the "I'm not interested" signals which most of the time go either ignored or over their heads. I'd much rather talk with the guy who is just being himself and not trying to do too much.

If you have to brag, flash or talk about what you've got, you're overcompensating for something else (personality, charisma, intellegence, or something else).
 
Interesting. I'm actually trying to dress better.

I think it's all about your environment and the people you usually hang out with. I used to wear jeans/shorts/t-shirts all day, but last fall I went to business school and "casual" here means khaki's and a shirt or a nice polo.

So now I'm looking into nicer clothes so I don't completely stand out from the crowd when people get together to sip wine and talk about the financial crisis in Spain (read: being snobs).
