Is that rubber band on your wrist?

Bump

It was a year ago, it was a grand opening of a new club d'town, I was mixing some things up that night giving them a whirl stylewise because there were a number of local designers/hipsters/fashion designers/artists in attendance so figured this would be the place to try it out. Rubber bands, suspenders, and pattern mixing is no longer part of my wardrobe. Now wear a nice watch and more overall streamlined and simple attire. Fashion trends change from year to year and I'm not afraid to give different looks a try to see if they work or not. You win some, you lose some.

You're trying too hard.

 

[JerseyToughGuys]

Just jotted down "live strongly" on my gear. Feeling pretty good about this. Already getting looks at the marker. Though, it feels a little less chic and a little bit too mainstream for me with the logo.

You are in the "fashion" thread. If you want to talk about "function" this is not the place for that.

Thanks for the info, Captain Obvious.

Clipped for 4 days over this? I mean...wow.

Yes, we do have local creative types believe it or not. Not everybody just drinks beer and eats cheese all day.

Looks like a beer in her hand. And I'd bet money the one of the left is hiding half a wheel of cheese under her, um, snack trays.

I read some of offdee's fashion advice here. I have strong suspicion that he's a Mr. Pickles alias.

In the interest of saving time and not creating another thread, please provide your ratings for these lovely ladies using your patented offdee rating scale. TIA. P.S. You have provided your rating scale on numerous occasions. But I have never seen you actually apply it to "subjects".

ETA- the one on the left shows the proper way to layer and I believe the one in the middle is rocking a black rubber band on her wrist.

just came across a sweet purple rubber band in my desk drawer. First observation (other than the fact that it does look pretty tight on my wrist): the thing reeks of rubber. Hope you didn't shake anyone's hands that night offdee. Fashion or not, you don't want to be known as smelly rubber dude.

Please send a pic of your complete coutfit to offdee immediately for approval. You don't want your sweet purple rubber band to make you look gauche , do you?

I'm admitting to it being goofy now (I get it, I do) but really, last year you didn't know anybody that wore a Livestrong bracelet or something comparable with some words written on it? Hell, NBA players wear them today. All those are are colored rubber bands.http://blog.epromos.com/archives/livestrong.jpg

You spend a lot of time trying to look like other people.Why not just wear what YOU like, not what you THINK you should like because Beckham/Timberlake/Tom/****/Harry wore it once the other day and you saw a picture of it on the internet?

Just an observation.

The rubber band is nothing. That's a bracelet. The thing we need to talk about are the suspenders hanging down. What was the thinking there?

[yakfisher]

I was wondering did you or the Milwaukee fashion community influence the Hip-hop community to adopt the trend of wearing suspenders slung down low, as mentioned in Post #322?

Where do you stand the popular 3 wolf shirts?

Sweet Mama Lucia! I'll wear whatever she says is cool.

I don't care if that consists of short-shorts, rainbow suspenders, an "I'm With Stupid" shirt, straw hat & a cape.

A rubber band is not a bracelet. It is an office supply. At least suspenders are an article of clothing. An article of clothing worn wrong >>> accessorizing with office supplies.Seriously... who wears a freaking rubber band? We're not talking about a Live Strong bracelet. We're talking about a dirty old brown rubber band.

I may be able to retire off of this trend.

Wait, you're saying a rubber band on the wrist is worse than the suspenders hanging down?J

I'm going to start tucking my shirt in and leaving my belt unbuckled.

been doing this for 10+ years.

Why?

I'm going to start wearing a half-shirt and leaving my pants unzipped.

Looks good. You should put on a black undershirt to match it though.

No pants, shirt tucked into underwear.

I agree that the hanging suspenders are worse.Rubber bands come in handy when you need to tidy up for a hottie.

[jdoggydogg]

This suspenders trend intrigues me. I think I'll buy a belt and where it around my neck. And maybe I'll put some gloves on my ears.

 

[Thorn]

The skin around my collarbone doesn't react well to shaving. Not sure why. I get the nasty red stubble. It totally sucks. The best I can do is the trimmer at the lowest setting. That looks kinda goofy too though.

I'm stuck with white undershirts.

Trust me on this one. Go to Walgreens and invest $10 in the below shaver. It's very compact, used on dry skin (no shaving cream or anything needed) and the blades are made to work with sensitive skin. Could be your answer.http://www.walgreens.com/store/product.jsp...;id=prod1054007

seriously? shaving your chest hair to prevent the faux pas of wearing a white shirt under your dress shirt? i'm a neanderthal, yes, but this is ridiculous even for the most metro guy.

WHO THE #### SHAVES THEIR ####ING CHEST HAIR?

You trim your sideburns, right? You trim down below deck, right? This is no different. Groom yourselves, slobs.

trim =/= shavehth

[Major]

Does anyone here wear shorts (shorter than mid thigh?) The trend seems to be coming back. Something like this ? I wanted to get ahead of the trend so I picked up a pair at Barneys yesterday. I spent close to $180 on them but they're so damn comfortable. I guess that's the price you have to pay for style. They're not the best in the Summer b/c they're cashmere and sweat tends to build up. They should be gold on certain days in the Fall and Spring or when I'm just chilling out at the casa.
