thank you, and what kills me is these fools are wearing this to do the most basic things. you're not killing it because you have boat shoes on. i can do that too, i just don't want to look like a tool while i'm going to the hardware store.Originally Posted by picknroll24
the dressing better trend did not fade, maybe on niketalk it did
I've seen dudes walking around campus in boat shoes, penny loafers, boots, rolled up pantsetc. and I'm in Cali
Some of the younger generation has adopted the style, I see nothing wrong with it as long as the situation calls for it.
There is no need to wear this type of attire to school, to go grocery shopping etc.

uhhh, people have had tattoos forever. i have a sleeve, don't laugh at me bro.Originally Posted by Savraj1
We got guys in their 20's dressing in boat shoes but they still don't know that they look foolish with tattoo "sleeves".
When I see a person on Facebook wearing Sperry's and showing off a new tattoo that covers their whole damn arm, neck, etc. I just have to
They can go well when done properly. Shoutout to my guy Moon.Originally Posted by Savraj1

they are americana and japanese, not trendy tattoos like tribal and such. it's cool, i came to the conclusion when i'm that old i'll have bigger fish to fry anyway, like dropping a duece in my pants at ihop.Originally Posted by Savraj1
MPLS, If you like it, more power to yourself. But I am willing to bet that in the future just like how people are now embracing preppy clothes over XXL clothes, tattoos will also be thrown by the wayside.
I hear you on older people wearing basic t, jeans and converses. However, you'll notice, how they wear it is a difference. Take out the "urban" aspect of it, and it's a different story. You'll notice the jeans are more fitted, the shirt is a bit more fitted and there's no snapback. People dressing conservatively isn't an issue to me, what does look ridiculous is that Young Dro look where people are taking conservative clothing and trying to make it look far more urban that it really is. That is an ideal candidate for "trying too hard"Originally Posted by goldenchild9
Don't agree with that AT ALL.
You got 50 year old conservative white dudes that wear essentially the same thing.
Levis, kicks, a t shirt and sports apparel have been the basis of casual American menswear since the 50's.
I'm probably older than you and have NO PROBLEM rocking denim, kicks and sports wear and bagging mature professional women. My last girl was 8 years older than me and an accountant.
The problem is dudes don't know how to switch it up...of course you don't go to a wedding reception in a snapback and white tee...most sensible people know that.
But too many "dressing better" cats will go to a pool hall wearing Oxfords and a bow tie. Straight d bag status.
When you're on casual time you can dress however you please, regardless of age, as long as it tasteful and suits your personality. But so many of new dudes TRY to look "mature" when they're barely scratching 30 and end up looking silly. Dudes are walking around my school with red bowties and pink slacks like they're really doing it...there are tons of mature working women prowling the campuses...and they get NO BURN.
Your attire is part of your identity and 25 - 33 y/o cats really need to stop dressing like 70 year old retirees. This is a new phenomenon. People always sought to stay young fresh and original as long as possible. Now dude turn 25 and morph into Mr. Rogers.

How is that trying too hard, minus the gasmask?
A varsity jacket, plain with tee, fitted cap and the most basic sneakers possible.
What is indicative of someone trying too hard with this outfit...Please enlighten me?
I'm not even kidding, once you start attending mature places (wine bars, 30th & 40th birthday parties, lounges etc), and start coming across mature women, you'll see how fast that Tyga and Breezy look, looks immature.
Don't take it as offence. Just like younger cats who go to certain clubs/places can dress like that picture, and get a lot of love, but if a dude comes with the "after work drinks" look, he'll look silly in that camp.
It's really just all about what circles you run in, and what stage of you are in life.
Don't agree with that AT ALL.

I know when it comes to throwing on a suit, i have one of the best fitting ones in the room. doesn't mean i'm going to wear it in any occasion but the tips learned from that thread really are applicable to day to day wear too. Most days i find myself in a tshirt and jeans/chinos but how is me wearing sperrys trying to hard? i look at them as just plain casual shoes. To the "db dudes"rocking the red/blue/green joints with the matching bow tie, off yourself. you ruin it for the rest of us. that being said, dudes like tyga/chrisbrown/wiz are being emulated by most young people i know. if they wanna be tatted/snapbacked out, ima let that boy cook but that's for them.

Sometimes trying to be different comes off as just being corny rather it's just dressing better or dressing down.
