Its common knowledge that public school teachers are at the bottom of the fashion scale. Its unfortunate but true.

If I took the advice from 30-ish guys I work with or live around, I would probably end up looking like a retard.

Bull930's fashion tips will lead you directly to Poundtown . . . maybe in Sweden. How do you say Poundtown in Swedish?
Vansmack. Why all the unbridled hate for polo shirts? Are you talking about true polo shirts? The ones with rubber buttons? Fred Perry? You hate polos almost as much as I hate Bruce Springsteen and the Beatles.
Chuck Taylors are cool but I don't think they make them in size 15. Plus my feet are grotesquely wide. I have to shop from the OddBall shoe catalog. I feel like Peggy Hill.
I always try to model my mode of dress after these chaps:

Originally posted by kosmo:Can… can… can I buy drugs from you?
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
fashion is the new indie rock.
why don't you guys go to high end vintage shops? are there good ones in the DC area, btw?
don't believe bull930 about k-mart. I go there for toiletries, nothing else.

I realize that you are from Bethesda, and thus your shit don't stink.
But please don't tell me your feet don't stink, because, frankly, I aint buying it.

Originally posted by Charlie Nakatestes,Japanese Golfer:based on my experience, women's feet just don't stank as much as men's. maybe it's all the open-toe shoes. maybe it's men's hairier feet. maybe it's because the ladies bathe more often. whatever it is, i can belive that her chucks still smell acceptable (especially if she's never sweats/exercises in them).

You've got an answer for everything, don't you?
Do you go around smelling mens feet?

I'll agree that there's nothing wrong with polo shirts but goddamn that shit you posted as some sort of example is fruity to the 10th power, that shit does NOT look good under ANY circumstances.

You're still wrong.
If you don't like polos that's fine, it's your personal style. But really, they CAN be worn if you aren't a preppy asshole. You can wear a slim fitting polo with slim fitting pants and huge, colorful hi top nike dunks for example and look great.
That guy from Voxtrot looks good in what he is wearing and that's why I posted it. Fits him well.
These looks from Dior Homme are quite nice…

For real….those guys look completely silly. Especially that last guy…those pants look like those wierd pants weighlifters used to wear. You know the ones with zebra or tiger prints on them? Seriously he looks like an extra in a Culture Club video.
I used to be pretty crusty in my late teens and early to mid 20's Group houses and general disregard for things like clean socks and scrubbing tubs left me with chronic athletes foot. Talk about some stinky feet…and nothing like a pair of old chucks to let those babies marinate. Of course now they smell like roses now.

ewwwww.
no, i try to take good care of my shoes. it's something you learn how to do when you are buying expensive shoes. things like, trying to wear socks and stuff. keeping your feet clean. etc.
i don't wear chucks without socks because if i did, they'd get blisters. but my chucks don't smell. sometimes my ballet flats do. but not my chucks. as long as you've got proper socks on, you are solid gold…..
AND whoever suggested "high end thrift shops"…congratulations! you know how to throw away your money!
instead you could like, so totally go to an actual thrift shop and find the same stuff without the markup. i'd rather get my hands dirty than pay $50 for something i can get for $2.

betty, i'd never pay $50 for a piece of vintage clothing. The ones I'm referring to sell, on average, $12-$20 and they do look good :)
Shout out to Zubaz yo! haha
The first thing I thought when I saw those pictures (ESPECIALLY the last 3) is that the designer pictured himself costuming a 80's era ska band that subscribed to an alternative lifestyle.
