Originally posted by PigIron:can you do me a favor and take a deep breath…..now, all I am saying is that it is a first impression. at a certain point fashion goes out of the door. you are not friends with people because of how they dress( if you are you need a reality check!!!),but because you like them as people regardless of exterior issues.
Originally posted by bull930:maybe to some you might not be as fashionable as you think!!!
you have to care about clothes because they make a first impression. It says alot about you. It could say you are lazy or a scumbag. You want it to say you're upbeat and positive and care about something.

Thats horrible. I agree, that in some cases, dress makes a first impression. But in most cases, people who go around judging people based on fashion are scumbags themselves. You know damn well that you know people who are positive and care about things but don't have the best fashion sense.
But there is no way chucks are inappropriate. I might not know a lot about fashion, but Chuck Taylors are great for any occasion, any age group, and any clothes you decide to wear. End of story.

Originally posted by PigIron:Alright, fashionable people, honest question: Jack Purcell's. They look like Chuck's, and I got a pair for being a groomsman (all of us had black/white Jack's to go with tux at the reception), and now I'm deciding when/where it's OK to wear these. I'll admit, I'm a running shoe devotee…would Jack's be an upgrade?

I'm sorry. I don't see how any adult wears Chucks without looking like some 12 year old actor at the Oscars.
Thank you.
I was trying to tell my wife just that, but she wouldn't listen.
Plus, they really, really smell.

so smackie is special dispensation granted to people who bought the limited edition Paul Weller Fred Perry polo? not that i could ever have gotten one seeing as they were 85 quid…
so i'm guessin' the fashion faux pas incurred by buying a Ben Sherman polo at Costco is pretty high… It goes nicely with the OP shorts bought the same day ;)
but seriously, as i told kosmette to after wandering the mall post seeing harry potter it's really easy for me to shop anymore seeing as i refuse to buy stripy polos and plaid shirts which dominates 75% of men's causual fashions anymore. most of the rest the "edgy" graphic t-shirts…. give me a nice 60's inspired geometric print shirt anytime, which are to find

Sure Chucks smell after awhile. They also get a weird film of some kind that develops from the inside if you don't wear socks - but keep in mind that at 30 bucks a pop, who cares? There are alot of clothing items that have an age limit. I just don't think that Chucks are one of them.

Only puts a smile on particular faces
Said too much power in not enough hands
Makes me think get rich quick; take all I can
Theyre too busy spending on the means of destruction
To ever spend a penny on some real construction
Watch the money-go-round; watch the money-go-round
They amuse themselves as they fool around
Watch your money-go-round; watch your money-go-round
Do like they say, make them vulnerable

Originally posted by PigIron:Chucks are just utterly awful….especially if you are above a size 10. You don't want your feet to look clown size! For $30 you can get a better shoes that will last longer…..you need some cushion on your shoe. Chucks remind me of a bowling shoe somewhat…..plus it will stick because you have no support….maybe some people like smelling toejam!!!
