Re: Style opinion and social commentary on clothing
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] Find chick who knows style. Hand her your credit card, tell her you need a new wardrobe. 2 -3 pairs of slacks, 6-8 shirts, a few sweaters, some casual wear, etc... I've done this a few times, it works. [/ QUOTE ] That's horrible advice. All your friends will abandon you and people on the streets will point at you and laugh. [/ QUOTE ] What the hell? The idea sounds awesome. |

[ QUOTE ]
AZK, Checked out some James Perse stuff. Yeah, he has some good simple-looking stuff that is right up my alley. I liked this a lot, but it's pretty steep at $143. [/ QUOTE ] LD, Normally, I'm not one to say something like "you paid too much for that" or whatever, I'm not big on second-guessing someone else's sense of style, personal subjective valuation, etc. But seriously, I just bought that shirt at target for like $14. Disclaimer: My wardrobe is basically standard-issue whitey Gap RiotNrrd stuff. Typical ensemble: + + |

What this says about them or you is up to your own intrepretation of course. |

Surprisingly, it is not full of thorns and razor blades. And if the other shirt will last 10x as long, well, I'd be surprised. |

Re: Style opinion and social commentary on clothing
All,
Locking this thread, nothing new or interesting in a while. See nation's track suit and hoodie thread for continued discussion of style issues. I'll start a thread on my upcoming clothing company this week. |
