I must be out of touch.

I've had the same pair of tennis shoes since 2008 lol
Of course, i usually wear some cheap flip flops or riding boots most of the time.
I'm married.
I never go out.

I suppose if I were single it would be a different ball game.

Not necessarily. Quite a bit of the stuff I see guys wearing today sets my gaydar off. Some of it is in this thread. LMAO

I suppose if I were to 'go out' more, I would put more of an emphasis on my wardrobe. as it is now, I basically go to work, and ride my motorcycle.

Jesus Christ dude, clean up your ****ing countertop. My OCD would never allow me to have coffee filters and a bag of chips left out, and keys go on the hook in the mud room.

Heh heh. You should see it right now. I'm still recovering from surgery and give absolutely no ****s about the cleanliness of this place.

I spy a Pricilla's frequent shopper/club card on the key ring.

You don't spy shit other than Boba Fett, dumbass.

LMAO

Lately I've been buying running shoes instead of updating my casual kicks.

So is there any middle ground between haute couture and the frat boy douchebag sneakers and cargo shorts thing?

If there isn't snow on the ground, I wear barefoot shoes (not the toe shoes).

My current shoes are out of production but the Merrell Tough Glove are close:

They are very comfortable and extremely lightweight.

I also have a pair of Trail Glove shoes for hiking.

http://runblogger.com/images/2011/02...e-option-4.jpg

I wear the Trail Gloves for working out. I like them quite a bit.

I'm currently either Reef Flip Flops, Chacos, or Redwing Iron Rangers.


Currently wearing selvedge denim, chacos, and this shirt my wife bought me for Father's day:

I think flip-flops are more frat boy douche.

I’ve tossed all my cargo shorts. Plain flat front only for me. But only wear them when its way too hot to tolerate jeans.

For shirts I wear button-ups most of the time. In summer I roll up the sleeves rather than opt for short-sleeve (never liked that look).


Despite my attempt to get away from sneakers, I don't think dress shoes look good with shorts, so my go-to shoe is air force ones like this but in a darker grey:

Going to Hawaii in November, my wife bought me a couple of "Hawiian shirts". Not gaudy colors, but kind of flower print. Comfortable as hell! Don't know why i didn't think of it earlier...and I like cargo shorts...tons of pockets and they look pretty good on me.

My cargo shorts have also become just work shorts for me as well. I'm also finding myself just rolling up long sleeves on my buttondowns more and more. I have some sweet short sleeves, but I just don't like the way they look on me as much as my long sleeves. I never wear 3 button polos any longer for some reason.

Those are awful. Why not get some tube socks and a AARP card to go with them?

I'm gonna get some Old Navy's linen shorts next time I'm out. Saw them the other day and they look super light and comfortable. Only $20. Need a pair to bum around in other than my expensive linens.

ROFL Yeah, this thread cracks me up.

I wear comfortable shit, and I don't try to pretend I'm a fashion guru. But if you're pushing black sneakers (or half the other shit in the thread) as fashion advice, you need to re-evaluate.

I tend to prefer rolled up long sleeves over short sleeves because I can control just how "rolled up" they are. Short sleeves usually are way higher above the elbow then I want them to be.

Suns out, guns out, brah.

I was born without a fashion gene. I work for a company halfway across the country, so it doesn't matter what I wear to the office (there is only me and one other engineer and we don't deal with the public), so I wear shorts and T shirts in the summer and jeans and sweatshirts in the winter. I own one tie and don't know how to tie it. Dressing up is khakis and a button up shirt (or a sweater in the winter)that I may tuck in if extra fancy.

Probably kind of sad, but don't care.

To each their own, but spare me your it "is a mystique - it's sought after" brands. They look very similar to the shoes all the line cooks wore years ago when I was bartending. If you want to be the fashion guru, how about turning the "fashion challenged male" on to some To Boot New York, Ferragamos or the like? Grown men don't wear shorts and sneakers out at night or sandals. If you are at the beach, playing a sport or have not yet reached adulthood that makes sense. Is your advice to the fashion challenged male to buy Euro track suits and sneakers?

Apparently we have vastly differing fashion sense. Your's appears to be more casual.

yae or nay ?

http://i.imgur.com/v6gBPuo.jpg

Gonna have to go with nay.

I like them.

Anyone know a good source for decent fitted T-shirts? My son wears them and we are having a hard time finding them. He used to like Target's Mossimo athletic cut T's but they have discontinued those. We have bought the Banana Republic fitted T's before but they can be pretty expensive if you don't catch a sale. They were fairly thin, too, iirc.

This has probably already been covered, but I really only have one pair of work shoes - a pair of black Doc Martens. Are these OK with khaki Docker's as long as I wear a black belt, too?

I prefer wingtips over cap toes when there is broguing, but that's just me.

The traditional rule is not to wear black shoes with khaki (or any shade of brown, no matter how light it is) pants.

But I don't have any brown shoes. And no one's ever said, "Hey man, that looks like shit." Does that mean I have to go buy brown shoes? 'cause that shit's expensive.

You can do whatever you want, I'm just sayin'. My boss wears black shoes with khakis (even though his wife gives him shlt about it).

Traditionally black shoes are very formal. In Europe I believe they are ONLY worn with black pants, which are only worn with tuxes and to funerals.

Here's a chart that shoes brown shoes being a lot more versatile than black:

Not always - The last few posts have been - since I don't go out much w/ being so busy at work. I'm not sparing anyone 'anything' - I have nothing to prove to you.

FYI - I'd wear the ST's out before I'd ever get caught dead in a pair of boots, Salvatore or not.

I'll be glad to post some more examples in my closet. If you'd like some dressy advice. I don't do (nor will I ever) formal - aside from a wedding or funeral. I dress up 'formally' for nobody. I'm not Corporate America's bitch - they're MY bitch. Got it?

Re: short-sleeved button downs. DaKCMan AP does not own them and will not wear them. Long-sleeved button downs with sleeves rolled up: absolutely!

This Dr Ryan seems like a total douche...but but but I am a Dr. on CP! !!! Ermagawd

I like wearing American Rag v-neck tee's from Macys.

http://www1.macys.com/shop/mens-clot...23&edge=hybrid

Thanks. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to convince him to wear V-neck tees and it looks like most of those are V-neck.

Are the American Rag tees always slim fit? They don't specifically say other than that they are "a flattering fit".

When your wife starts making choices on your clothing its time to start shopping for panties.

My tastes lean more towards Duck Dynasty styling s!

My go to work attire in footwear is this.

What the hell is wrong with boots? Seems like a broad category to shun entirely.

For the most part. I'm thin and they fit me well.

Meh... I took a couple of those posts in a very similar way and those black shoes reminded me of what my grandfather wore in his dyeing days.

I did check out some of the good Dr's suggestions. While I liked it, unless it's implanted with a blowjob from a hot milf magnet, I will not be buying this $345 Ferragamo belt any time soon.

The animated models on myhabit.com are awesome.

Knew it.....3 hundo on a belt screams douche

Can't beat Red Wings. My daily wears for just about any occasion (unless I'm headed to the lake or lounging)

Red Wing Heritage Iron Rangers

Those are cute. Be sure to wipe that dust mote off. ;)

Heh. Those aren't mine, but yeah... the beauty of them is that I can completely trash them in mud or wherever, then polish them up, aply some mink oil, and they basically look like the ones in the picture.

My Merrell Wilderness are the same way. Once again not my picture, but that's pretty much what mine look like when applying snow seal. I've resoled them twice and owned them since 1996.

Just arrived today. Excellent quality and comfortable as hell. Look great with anything, casual or dressy. They just look cool as shit.

I have no issues with shopping for panties with my GF. Heels either. :thumb:

Those are pretty swank.

on my watch list
 

May plow - yes it's expensive but should last upward of 10 yrs. I don't buy belts often.

I plowed this yesterday - it's got rayon in it - should get in about 3 business-days.
 

Respect the cock.

Dude no.

that shit is affliction

Damn man. That means a lot from you. Thank you.

For anyone interested, the shoes are a bit more reddish than I had anticipated. I picked them up for casual, every day wear and have no doubt they will last until I die.

Ordered 2 pairs of Brooks running shoes at a great price. Free returns so if I don't like 1 or both, no loss.

The shirt is cool, man. Don't listen to him.

Really simple graphic tees will always be cool.

My last couple of wallets have been Coach bleecker slim biflold ID, which I really like. Its time for a new one. I keep it in my front pocket, so nothing bulky. Any suggestions?

A nice Louis Vuitton suit and an over-the-shoulder purse.

Forgot that luggage behind him. That thing on his shoulder is a matching purse.

Another recommendation of mine. From Louis of Boston:

Hip and sooooooo sophisticated! Oh la-la!

Just picked up this suit:

That guy is watching a group of bikers coming his way to kick his ass for wearing those pants.

Nice shirt and blazer, though.

LMAO

That there says Yea you can plug me in the ass boys anytime repeatedly. Geeeeeeez im sure your joking.

For the hipster Camerohead, skinny Zubas.

Well hello sailor. Thats about all with that. The fashion industry feminizing men. I hope you dont choose your mans clothes. Just get him a Cabela's catalog and he can take it from there.

I do, but not something like a suit. He has to do that. I do love buying men's clothes though. I buy shirts for him at Dillards and Brooks Brothers because their merchandise is so irresistible. I have bought him casual shoes like Sperry Topsiders and loafers.

Once I bought something he never wore. I asked him why and he said it looked like something a gay would wear.

BTW, put those pics up as a joke—just to get a reaction.

I was just looking for a wallet. Not a monkey suit.

holy SHIT nordstrom rack is a ripoff shop

Is it acceptable to wear tan sneakers with black shorts?

They have great customer service tho'.
