Fashion advice

[il Padrino Ute]

Better to be a slave to what society dictates you can and cannot wear. Safer that way.

No way. Fight the power!

I was happy to skip the plaid shorts fad and ecstatic to currently be missing the skinny shorts fad. My apologies to the fashionistas, but when we all get together before the FSU game in Sept I will be that one guy wearing the tan cargo shorts, BYU dark blue golf shirt, and an old pair of running shoes.

why do you need to look like a grownup? I still get treated like a kid b/c I like skate shoes, shorts and a t shirt (and I look young). so what? I think it's funny when people who probably would be looking to hire me to mow their lawn find out I'm a lawyer. I spit on society's expectations for my appearance.

Let's not confuse the issue, though. Pleated suit pants and pleated shorts are not the same caliber of offense. The former is a class-B misdemeanor, the latter, a first-degree felony.

EDIT: My mistake--Mrs. Funky wasn't talking about shorts, so the issues aren't really being confused. My point stands, however.

I would like to just point out that I do not own a single pair of pleated shorts.

Here's a pic to start with BO. This is from the clothing line Harvard University is going to start producing. Apparently their endowment is taking a serious hit.

Besides, my great legs are put to their best advantage in skirts.

???? uh, no comment.

Boylen, my advice is to wear what you want to wear. If others have a problem with it, it's their problem.

Hey IPU, do you like wearing suits? If not, I hope you wouldn't wear a suit to a job interview. If they don't like it and you don't get the job, that's their problem, man.

Self-employed here.

I've written myself up several times for violating the dress code. But I won't ever give in. I'll defy it forever.

You wear that to work? More power to you man, more power to you. Oh, you don't wear that to work? Oh.

BO just attend any BYU sporting events and look at the student section, they all act like they are doing an Abercrombie runway show, you will find what is hip and trendy. I know most fans where team colors to the games, but not at BYU, its all about impressing the opposite sex.

The only shorts I wear these days are Dickies, flat front shorts, with 11" inseam. I like that they're plain. I like that they come in solid colors, black, gray, khaki, navy, red, white, blue, etc. I also like that they cost $15 at Wal-Mart. Most importantly they're long enough to cover my garment bottoms. Gidget thinks I look like a gangbanger in them. I just remind her that I'm west side 4 life.

Is it reasonable for me to feel ridiculous in these shorts for a period of time? I bought three pair last night, and when I tried them on in the store, my only hope was I wouldn't look like a complete dork in them.

If in doubt, throw the elbows out and sway from side to side.

I own a few pairs of shorts. I picked up a Hurley pair about a month ago that are super comfy. Plain brown and long enough for my liking. I also found a nice pair of Lucky shorts that are tan, and plaid. Who cares that it is SO last summer... they were super comfy.

I am usually a Jordan Basketball shorts kind of guy when I get home from work. That is about the extent of my shorts wearing though.
