I am one of the few men I know who will wear pocket watches
Basically because I fuck up writs watches <scratch the crown)

and while I don't enjoy ink on women lower back tattoos can be very sexy depending

I have a strong dislike for logo'd merchandise of almost any type (with the exception of sports teams). I can understand being a fan of the Tuscaloosa Tinkerbells in the Cow Country Hockey League - when you need to prove where you buy your shit in order to obtain some sort of status, you have a pretty pathetic life, IMHO.

Overall, I'm too damned old for fashion - people my age tend to look silly at best when trying to dress according to QG/Vogue. The frustrating part about that is, of course, it would be so easy - after all, I probably have some of it in the closet.

I'm not a big fan of sports team merchandise - though I do have a Canes shirt I jog in occasionally.

"Fashion" I'm not that fond of (with a few exceptions):

baseball caps
polo shirts
sneakers (haven't worn them for at least a decade)
speedo's
gold jewelry
porn conference t-shirts

Things I don't currently have myself but think look good on other people:

Tattoos
Piercings

Philosophically opposed to:

People that wear clothing that is way too tight for their body. If you're overweight, wear baggy clothing.

Anything from the 80's coming back. 70's retro was ok but 80's retro should be killed dead in its tracks.

Oh, yeah:

Great rule of thumb :: If you wore it the first time. don't wear it when it comes back.

Then why dont you smack him on the back of the head and tell him to buy some pants that fit and keep 'em pulled up. :huh:[/b][/quote]
Cause I am all about my kids expressing themselves in whatever they want to wear as long as it's not unsafe or obsene. Doesn't mean I have to like it though!


Large faced watches just never looked good on me. I have smalled wrists and my watch shouldn't cover my whole arm

Great Point

Now if I could just follow it

Some 80's fashions were um .... interesting - most were henious in retrospect

Much thanks Colin

I can also switch from the Gothaneer to business to formal to business casual to jeans slumming at local bars

AGGGGHhhh I am a clothes horse

I can't say there's anything i can't stand to look at really. Other than 12 year olds dressing like hookers. Some parents really need to be sterilized.

The faded tight fit jeans and retro look seems to be the big thing at the moment, at least here in Australia. And while i don't mind what it actually looks like, i can't help but laugh at what people pay for it. I have a couple of friends that have spent several hundreds of dollars on a single pair of jeans. One of them is very self concious. He actually tries to give me shit for buying a no-name brand 30 dollar pair of jeans. Nothing like pulling out the 200 dollar difference from my wallet and pointing out that he's still in debt.

And "designer" clothing. Who the fuck pays 50 dollars for a plain white t-shirt, 'cause it has a lable sticking out along the stitch? Shallow and insecure individuals. They're all made in the same shitty Chinese sweatshop.

The way i see if, if anyone has a lower opinion of me for not feeling the need to impress people with the price of my clothes, then i probably don't want to talk to them anyways. And i don't think less of my friends that do try to keep up with all the trends. I just keep quiet when they have their fashion discussions.
