Fashion Trends/Faux Pas'... What do you dislike?

^ I wear clothes that I *feel* like wearing. I don't let some moron on a catwalk tell me what to wear.

Fashion is all about wearing what everyone else wears, what everyone else thinks looks good, and allowing trends (which other people set) to dictate your own choices. I could really give a damn if there's anyone else on God's green earth who wears, or even likes, the same stuff I do. :shrug:

So if people feel like wearing fashionable clothes they do so only because some moron on a catwalk tells them to? That's just as snobbish and judgemental as a fashionista scowling at you for wearing jeans and a tee shirt!
 
I'll second that, MLB.

Four criteria for what I wear everyday, in order: 1 = Comfortable, 2 = My mood for the day, 3= Unblemished, 4 = I look good in it.

I don't wear my fancy western shirts for that reason.

Perhaps. But if they can judge me, why can I not judge right back?

As for "looking good"...again, meh. That, again, would presuppose that I care what others think about what I wear. Why would I want to do that?
 
^They don't. As long as you admit it's a judgemental attitude. I'm just find it amusing when people get all in a huff over fashion and claim to not be interested in it all at once.

Considering how often you complain about being single I'd think you'd want to look your best. I don't understand your line of thinking.
 
Gotta have the mood in there, JW. I've got 5 base colors that I wear: White, Navy, Black, Olive Green, and Orange.

Low/anxious moods call for Navy or Black, better moods call for the other three.
 
I don't care if people think I look good, but I care if I think I look good. I don't go out spending lots of money on the latest trends, but I still like to look presentable.

I have recently discovered that I look awesome in Army colors. Browns, khakis, and greens.
 
I'd wear browns and khakis if only I had a baseball cap to match.

I always wear a hat, and in town, it always matches something else I'm wearing, usually my shirt.

I'm quite lucky in that I look good in any color -- pastels, deep colors, browns, grays. The only color I can't always pull off is black, oddly enough. I think it's too severe for me. If I wear a very feminine black piece -- the little black dress, for example, I can work it. I couldn't do a black suit, though, I wear my suits in grays and browns.
 
They don't like you for what you wear. They like you for caring enough about yourself to put effort into how you look. If you dress like a slob, people will think you're lazy and don't give a shit.

If a woman only likes me because of what I wear, she is obviously not worth my time.

Your clothing is how you choose to present yourself to people, your taste and your personality.

Then you will get nobody. I'm sorry but that's just the way it is. If you look boring and like a slob then no women will think about you in a romantic fashion. Once she gets to know you how you dress might become irrelevant but when we first meet someone how they look is all we have to go on.
 
Fashion is the clothing industry's way of getting people to spend money on new clothes instead of continuing to wear the clothes that still look the same as they did a year or two ago. The whole thing is based on the principle that the manufacturers and retailers don't make any revenue off the clothes that are already in your closet. Fashion makes it irrelevant that the clothes in your closet are stain and soil free, not torn, have no holes and pretty close to the color they were when you bought them.
