Ha ha...that's probably true! [/b]

Its absolutely true.  I'm a 34-years old.  I don't normally care much about fashion, but still I want to avoid looking like a total ass.   I'm a high school teacher.  Its common knowledge that public school teachers are at the bottom of the fashion scale.  Its unfortunate but true. [/b]

Clothes are a personal expression of you....

you guys must have really gross feet or some shit.  
 i have had this one pair of chucks for six years now...holes everywhere...they are all shredded on the inside, but no, they do not smell.

Early contender for post of the week.

Vansmack.  Why all the unbridled hate for polo shirts?  Are you talking about true polo shirts?  The ones with rubber buttons?  Fred Perry?  You hate polos almost as much as I hate Bruce Springsteen and the Beatles.
 
 Chuck Taylors are cool but I don't think they make them in size 15.  Plus my feet are grotesquely wide.  I have to shop from the OddBall shoe catalog.  I feel like Peggy Hill.
 
 I always try to model my mode of dress after these chaps:

 but seriously, as i told kosmette to after wandering the mall post seeing harry potter it's really easy for me to shop anymore seeing as i refuse to buy stripy polos and plaid shirts which dominates 75% of men's causual fashions anymore.  most of the rest the "edgy" graphic t-shirts....  give me a nice 60's inspired geometric print shirt anytime, which are to find

Can... can... can I buy drugs from you? [/b]

i should add the qualifier of non garish to my geometric print choice, as Kosmette has a certain image to maintain.  besides you wont find any gold chains, polyester bell bottoms or platform shoes in the closet.

fashion is the new indie rock.

[Vas Deferens]

why don't you guys go to high end vintage shops? are there good ones in the DC area, btw?
 
 don't believe bull930 about k-mart. I go there for toiletries, nothing else.

I realize that you are from Bethesda, and thus your shit don't stink.
 
 But please don't tell me your feet don't stink, because, frankly, I aint buying it.

based on my experience, women's feet just don't stank as much as men's.  maybe it's all the open-toe shoes.  maybe it's men's hairier feet.  maybe it's because the ladies bathe more often.  whatever it is, i can belive that her chucks still smell acceptable (especially if she's never sweats/exercises in them).

You've got an answer for everything, don't you?
 
 Do you go around smelling mens feet?

I'll agree that there's nothing wrong with polo shirts but goddamn that shit you posted as some sort of example is fruity to the 10th power, that shit does NOT look good under ANY circumstances.

  You're still wrong.
 If you don't like polos that's fine, it's your personal style.  But really, they CAN be worn if you aren't a preppy asshole.  You can wear a slim fitting polo with slim fitting pants and huge, colorful hi top nike dunks for example and look great.
 
 That guy from Voxtrot looks good in what he is wearing and that's why I posted it.  Fits him well.  
 
 These looks from Dior Homme are quite nice...

no, i happen to have an opinion that may or may not line up with yours   :roll:   you'll note that i said "based on my experience".  it's limited.

For real....those guys look completely silly.  Especially that last guy...those pants look like those wierd pants weighlifters used to wear.  You know the ones with zebra or tiger prints on them?  Seriously he looks like an extra in a Culture Club video.
 
 I used to be pretty crusty in my late teens and early to mid 20's  Group houses and general disregard for things like clean socks and scrubbing tubs left me with chronic athletes foot.  Talk about some stinky feet...and nothing like a pair of old chucks to let those babies marinate.  Of course now they smell like roses now.
