The only real problem I have here is that people that wear fake vintage t-shirts or ones with "witty" sayings on them should be punched in the face repeatedly. Legit 20 year-old Jax Beer t-shirt =

I know this is the thing you're supposed to say but it's been my experience that most people that say it care a great deal about what others think. For some, it's the primary motivator. Not saying that it's the case with you as I don't know you. But it seems to be the case for lots of people that say that.So while it sounds good, it rings hollow for many.
The older I get, the more I've come to realize that there is a lot more to how you look regardless of the clothes. You see it all the time with great looking men and women. Brad Pitt can wear pretty much whatever he wants and look good. Looking through my GQ the other day and they had Chris Pine with a classic fashion mistake - short sleeved dress shirt and tie. And he looked great because he's a good looking guy in shape. http://men.style.com/gq/fashion/slideshow/...false&cnt=1
AWESOME!!

ironic t shirts are played like parker brothers and the fake vintage ones are even worse. Ed Hardy even worse than worse.
Agree for the most part. When I was saying "vintage" I guess I was more or less envisioning a solid colored that was slightly faded or distressed shirt that didn't look straight off the rack and lived in a bit...which is why I threw in the term "Bonus points" becuase having a proper one and pulling it off correctly is rare. I agree that no go on the new faded Miller High Life or "Who let the dogs out" ridiculousness.The only real problem I have here is that people that wear fake vintage t-shirts or ones with "witty" sayings on them should be punched in the face repeatedly.

Agree on all fronts. Ed Hardy and Affliction T-shirts might as well just say "d-bag" across the chest and be done with it.
I believe he was referring to David Beckhum in the link for the cargo shorts example above.
yeah, being a guy when I try on jeans I want my belly to bulge, my ### to look flat and an obese look in general :XMacArtist said:
Totally agree. Of course the "fashion guys" are going to care what others think to some extent because otherwise we'd just save the time and effort and throw on some baggy sweatshirt and comfortable oversized jeans and call it a day.What I meant about not caring what others think is if they feel that we are "pretty boys". Getting called pretty boy or #### or whatever other term you want to use doesn't bother me in the least...at this point I more or less just take it as a compliment because it's usually coming from the guys that have absolutely no fashion sense whatsoever.
Obviously looking like Brad Pitt helps. Many celebrities can wear a ridiculous outfit from the 80's, add a little spin on it and make it into a mini fashion trend if they wanted to. Unfortunately for the masses looking like a celebrity or even remotely close (both face and body) is next to impossible.So, although I agree that being in shape helps any type of clothes look and fit better there are things that bigger guys can do to help themselves.
I'm not a "fashion guru", but I always wear sandals with jeans in the summer. It won't ruin the jeans unless your jeans are way too long to begin with and are dragging on the ground.
Never really liked that look. And i've always seen the jeans dragging on the ground when someone was trying to pull of the look. So i just don't understand the appeal of wearing sandals with jeans. Is it a comfort thing?I'm not a "fashion guru", but I always wear sandals with jeans in the summer.

I'm not a fan of sandals with jeans. Don't really like the look and does have a tendency to ruin the bottom hem of the jean over time....but, for me it's not as much about ruining the jeans as it is that I just don't really like the look. I feel sandals are meant to be paired up with shorts, not pants. Shorts have a tendency to lend themselves with more of a casual/comfort/somewhat sloppy look which are what sandals portray as well IMO so they work well together during hot and humid summer days/nights.
If your jeans are the appropriate length for regular shoes than they will drag on the ground if you're wearing acceptable sandals (flip flops or low profile slip ons).If your jeans aren't dragging than I'd have to think one of the following things are going on (all of which aren't good):- your jeans are too short when you wear regular shoes.- the sandals you're wearing have a thick bulky sole- your jeans have an overly tapered leg (meaning they get tight around the ankle)- you still french roll your jeans circa 1982.One thing that is starting to come back into style somewhat is to roll up the bottom of your jean pant leg to show off a glimpse of the underside of the pant. So, if you do like the jean/sandal look than this is something that you can possibly get away with and avoid beating up the hem.I'm not a "fashion guru", but I always wear sandals with jeans in the summer.

1. I'm lazy2. I'm generally not fashionable3. I don't want to buy 10 pairs of sneakers to match up with my clothes (read: I'm cheap)4. It's more comfortable than wearing a pair of decent brown shoes, for the most part.5. I don't really care what I look like as long as my girlfriend likes it.I don't fit the trendy, upscale look...it's just not me. My family members (literally) try to get me to buy $200 jeans and really nice clothes, but it's not my look. Some people can pull it off, and I obviously have some nice clothes for situations when I have to look nicer, but I just wear what I like and what's comfortable, not necessarily what David Beckham (offdee keeps spelling his name wrong) is wearing.I have a specific friend in mind who tries so hard to look fashionable. But he tries so hard that he comes off looking like a fool. Like I said, the fashionable, trendy look works for some people. I don't think it works for me, and to be honest, I don't have enough disposable income to even try.
They drag in the back a little bit, but they're not like bell-bottom jeans. The jeans haven't frayed at all, but they're not flood pants. Not tapered leg.Sandals are standard flip-flops.I don't even know what a french roll is.If your jeans are the appropriate length for regular shoes than they will drag on the ground if you're wearing acceptable sandals (flip flops or low profile slip ons).If your jeans aren't dragging than I'd have to think one of the two things are going on (all of which aren't good):- your jeans are too short when you wear regular shoes.- the sandals you're wearing have a thick bulky sole- your jeans have an overly tapered leg (meaning they get tighter around the ankle)- you still french roll your jeans circa 1982.I'm not a "fashion guru", but I always wear sandals with jeans in the summer.

Along with just fitting better and lasting longer they also tend to hold their "wash color" longer. Since darker jeans are what you're wanting to go with nowadays this is important....you don't want them to lighten up dramatically after a few washes.A couple of washing tips:- Always turn your jeans inside out before throwing them in the wash (this helps keep the color better)- Once your jeans are fitted properly (bought off the rack and fit perfectly or tailored) hang dry them rather than in your dryer. The dryer will tend to shrink them a bit.
Just jokin', I know you're not doing that (at least I hope you're not!). Sweet visual..http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/comm...olled_jeans.jpg
This lengthNot really the kind of jeans I wear, but at that length, it really doesn't ruin the jeans unless you're like trying to play sports or are scraping along concrete all day.
Hmm, tough to say but I'd think those jeans would look a little short if he had on normal shoes. I like to see a little bit more of a break in the pant leg when it hits the top of the shoe than what is showing there. Not terrible, but an extra inch of length on that picture would probably make a world of difference.I realize the below pic is of a woman's feet (and very ugly feet at that!), but you can get the idea of the subtle difference I'd suggest in length compared to your pic....This lengthNot really the kind of jeans I wear, but at that length, it really doesn't ruin the jeans unless you're like trying to play sports or are scraping along concrete all day.

It's hard to find a pic that does justification without taking a picture of myself. I'd say somewhere between the two, but it's such a subtle thing that it's hard to find a picture of someone else.I know they're not flood pants. I used to rock the flood pants to Catholic school when I was a little kid. But I also used to have jeans that were way too long for me and used to drag on the floor and fray/rip in the back.Hmm, tough to say but I'd think those jeans would look a little short if he had on normal shoes.

This might be the most disturbing trend in fashion in the history of ever. I cannot for the life of me understand why a man would even attempt this look. This is beyond gay. It's creepy.
You should have gone over and thrown a bucket of paint on them in protest.
If he is spending his lunch checking out other dudes, I doubt he has any interest in their wives.

"Whoa...look at the cans on that chick!""I can't. That dude over there is wearing a dark undershirt and his jeans are 1/4 inch too short. I think I might puke."
If you could care less about how you look and dress than no reason to read this thread. I'm just stating some things I see from time to time that may be helpful and interesting to some. Obviously I can't go up to those guys in Subway and tell them they should've worn a different color undershirt, but I can state that here and if it helps a couple of guys when they are getting dressed for work in the morning than great. More than anything, these 3 guys just probably didn't know any better because nobody's ever told them differently, so maybe that's the case with others reading this. My goal here is to share some viewpoints I see in my everyday real-life and more often than not give tips or get a discussion going on little things any guy can do everyday to be more fashionable without breaking the bank.
Took you guys long enough. I would've never expected this comment to eventually come up in this thread.
No offense buddy, but I have trouble taking tips from a man who dines at Subway.
Using this rating scale, what would you rate these guys?10: Almost flawless and very rare. Could be a top model, top playgirl centerfold, (nationally amazing, the MENSA of hotness)9: The hottest guy at the club, The hottest guy at school, etc (more locally amazing)8: One of the hotter men at the club, one of the hotter guys at school, (upper class of hot men, but not tops locally)7: Cute guy at the club, in classes, at work, in apt building. Definitely cute, but not tops locally.6: Fairly attractive, no major flaws but maybe minor ones5: Average. starting to be unattractive, but certain qualities work in her favor. Nothing major, but minor problems are more common4.5 and lower: Below Average and no need to rank any lower than this. Major flaws pile up, overweight, blemishes, etc

Next time buy a cheaper pair of jeans and use the extra cash at a steakhouse.
This is true. And the quality of the denim used by Old Navy seems to be getting worse somehow. I used to buy my jeans there out of habit but doubt I will again.I still don't like spending much on clothes though, so I'm transitioning to better brands with help from the discount stores.
