WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS WHY WOULD I WANT TO LOOK LIKE THIS
 
i mean i understand i live in the midwest so my chances of finding stores with something besides the latest hillbillywear are slim, but even on the internets everything is SO UG.  oh yes another overpriced flanel!  wow some $60 plain sweaters that is awesome!  i've been wearing a bunch of thermals under my t-shirts cuz i can't find anything good to get.  i hate you fashion industry for failing to produce clothes that would enhance my beautiful face and perfect physique.

You can find some good stuff at H&M if you dig through all the crap, but you get what you pay for (their quality isn't the best). I typically shop at Banana Repubilc, Express, American Apparel, Macy's and Target. I'm not rich enough to shop at ubran hipster design stores here in Seattle more than once or twice a year at the most. The clothes are awesome, but I can't justify $125 limited print run sweaters when I have a $3,000/month mortgage to pay.

Uh, go with some slacks, some jeans, a nice shirt. What the fuck it's not hard at all. Just go traditional.

Because you're a pasty nerd

Look at how toned those guys are. The type of guys your woman stabs her flesh wound for.

I just don't get fashion shows.  All the models are wearing weird shit that you never see anyone actually wearing in public.

....and the designers actually make their millions off of plain black t-shirts and such. It is completely :??? You apparently have to be wildly innovative to get recognized in the world of fashion, but once you are, you can basically peddle the same old bullshit with a huge mark-up.

It's publicity for the fashion designers.

Because in order to find their fashion you'd have to find good men first. A good man is hard to find, these days.

Apart from the handbag and the hat I don't really see anything insanely ridiculous. Plus aren't those clothes the equivalent of car concepts? By the time they reach production they'll be tamed down or something.

That's the one of the reasons that high fashion exists. They do sell these items to the rich and chic, but the big concepts from these pieces are toned down and made more accessible for the rest of us.

That's a neat observation that never would have dawned on me.

My wife is a big fan of high fashion. She told me all about it after I totally made fun of a fashion show once.

Apparently what I wear is proper for casual fridays or something.  I wear collared shirts (someone compared it to a rugby shirt before) and khakis because they're comfortable.  If I cared more about fashion, I'd wear a vest. Or a burlap sack.

Monday through Thursday at work I wear slacks, sweaters or cardigans, dress shirts and ties. I'll ocassionally wear a suit. On Fridays I come to work in jeans, button up shirt and blazer, and my black high top Converse.

It was so weird for me to rock up on my first casual friday in a polo and jeans and then looking around and seeing all the guys my age look as if they were going clubbing. The girls dressed well but not slutty like they were going out :'(

I wear a t-shirt, hoodie and cargo shorts to work almost every day, even through a good portion of winter. Everyone on my floor is casually dressed, though in the building's other fifteen floors the men all wear suits and the women wear those OL uniforms. I'm thankful that I can get away with slacker clothes in a professional office environment in Japan.
