FASHION, STYLE, AND HOW MUCH YOU SPEND ON IT.

WOAH how did I miss this topic?

Believe it or not, you can like looking 'good' (whatever that is) and it can have absolutely nothing to do with how other people perceive you.

yeah, this is absolutely true.. but not for me! I like looking good to impress the ladies 8)

actually being serious I kinda feel a bit lazy if I am not dressed nicely. it feels good to make an effort, you know? whatever I like feeling beautiful

yeah actually in a similar way I do not pay much attention to fashion and just wear things that I think looks great rather than what yves st. laurent thinks or whomever. fashion is so full of bullshit anyway ::)

I'll post some xXx~style pics~xXx some time

Most days I wear T-SHIRT AND JEANS with various accessories, but sometimes I dress a little nicer/more in vogue, usually when a guy is interested in me and I don't want to look like... a rural Mainer.

haha this is so my reasoning as well.

ciel you rule 8)

I especially enjoyed the leather trousers

I think dudes looked cooler in the 70s and 80s (and 1700s) with longer hair.

I buy my clothes at Costco. My ideal clothing is a pair of shorts and a t-shirt. Socks are annoying.

topman used to be really great but for a while it has been non-stop new-rave even when that hasn't been around for a while :(

also this preppy bullshit looks so awful >:(

I dunno, I think a lot of people use "Fashion is expensive and arrogant" as an excuse to be lazy defend their own lack of style.

Like, even jeans and a t can be STYLISH if you just do it right. Like a cheap pair of shoes or hat or sunnies or some shit can make it look like "HEY WHAT A COOL GUY!". I guess it does depend a bit on what kind of a look you are going for. Obviously, if you work in a professional-type office, it'll probably be harder to be stylish and do it without spending too much. Doable still, though.

I don't do much for style really. I'm not above buying trendy t-shirts if they're for things that I adore, like the classic Legend of Zelda t-shirt they were selling at Wal-Mart. My family likes to buy me trendy shirts for things like alcohol and the TV show The Office, and I guess I wear those. As a college student and a frat member I've also accumulated many t-shirts that way (college is all about free t-shirts); I feel like I've got too many at this point.

I'm a fan of those khaki shorts where they have the strings at the waist and near the knees that you can tie into knots or just let loose. I like to let them loose. I look unique in those because nobody else bothers to look like an idiot ;).

My favorite post in this topic. Especially the first part. "X thing is stupid because I feel I can't do or possess it!" That is the retort of an insecure person.

xis over-rated because I don't like / understand it

i am like some sort of mind-reading god

ftr I dislike american eagle-type styles, but a well-dressed person is always more attractive than someone in (plain) jeans and a john deere t-shirt.

Note that tight jeans change everything.

Some people seem to assume dressing with style needs a person to spend hundreds of dollars on it, there are many interesting and stilish brands/clothes that are much more original than regular jeans/shirt and they are not expensive.
I don't really buy much stuff because my income is rather small, but when I can I get to buy some nice original jeans or shirt/t-shirt that look very good, and are not expensive at all.
Saying that most people that care on how they look are vain is a HUGE generalization, it's like hen we hear that everyone that playus videogames are 40 year old guys living in their parent's house basement, are fat use glasses and full of zits in their skin.
I usually wear regular semi tight/fit jeans and the same for shirts, being somewhat lean and defined, I think I look better with fit clothes than with huge ones. But even in my style I try to wear nice jeans and nice shirts, you know? (and a nice jacket to go out) It's not to impress the people around me (I doubt they are anyways) but it's to feel nice to myself too.
