Shadow: I never shop at hot topic, there's pretty much nothing there I would wear. I don't own any lacoste shirts. CDS: Yes, you are not our target demo. However, perhaps we can work out a deal that will results in you getting a highly coveted limited-edition shirt! [/ QUOTE ] works for me |

Re: Style opinion and social commentary on clothing
[ QUOTE ]
El D, I have only read 10 replies before I have to ask you this: How tall are you and what your build is? I'm 5 feet 8.5 and i can never pull that off because it attracts too much attention to my body and height. [/ QUOTE ] Is that really that big a deal? I wouldn't think you were short as you are around 5'9". Isn't that the national average? Hm - then again I'm 6' tall and actually most of my buddies are my height or taller so maybe I am way off. Also I'd actually think more compact guys could pull this look off better. -Al |

Re: Style opinion and social commentary on clothing
Al,
The problem when you're shorter is you need to be in really good shape (or really thin) to wear decent stuff. If you are a little on the fat side, then you will have to buy stuff that is a size too big and will be way too long or baggy and look sorta silly. |

Re: Style opinion and social commentary on clothing
Not sure if this is the appropriate thread for this but oh well.
I recently lost some weight and it seems like it's time to pick up some new clothes, but I am unfortunately fashion-tarded, and could use some help. I primarily need casual clothing. I'm in graduate school right now (25 yrs. old) and about to be done. I anticipate that my next job will likely be teaching, and around here most of the folks wear jeans and a nice shirt for that. I'm 6 feet tall, very caucasion, weigh roughly 205 (don't have a scale, but pretty sure I'm within five pounds in either direction) and have a 38 or 37 inch waist and a 30 length (I'm just swimming in my 40 inch pants right now). I've got a small beer belly, transitioning from a large one (who knew that drinking less beer could do something about the beer beely?) Also, while I'm willing to spend some money, I'm not rolling in it, so 80$ t-shirts are right out. While most of my friends where I live now have significantly better fashion sense than I do, they're all pretty lowkey. If I wore some of the t-shirts in this thread I'd feel pretty out of place. Reading this over it looks more and more like a hijack, so if it's not right for this thread, feel free to just ignore it. |

Re: Style opinion and social commentary on clothing
soma,
This thread is fine for that. I'd suggest Banana Republic, Macy's, and Nordstrom for some basic casual stuff that looks good and isn't too expensive (Nordstrom can veer to the expensive side but also has well-priced stuff). BR, for example, currently has plain fitted long-sleeve cotton crews for $18. Go find some stuff you might like and post them here. |
