To all of you defending cargo pants: they are not cool. Period.

 

[aember]

I remember wanting a trilby when I was 13.

On vacation my parents found a few, I tried them on but none fit. That's when we realized my head's bigger than average. Haven't worn any hats at all since then.

 

[LUFTRAUSER]

Yup, a Kangol, in purple no less (although this is technically a trilby that converts to a bucket hat and blah blah nobody cares.)



Maybe someday I'll have the luxury of time to give a shit about what people think of my clothing choices, but my schedule is pretty booked.

Is it because of your above average intellect?

Question for the cargo defense force: how often do you guys get laid?

Question for the cargo defense force: how often do you guys get laid?

Why would I need that? With cargo pants I can carry a Nintendo 3DS in each pocket. This means that I can co-op triforce heroes alone anytime, anyplace.

This is like saying units sold equals quality.

^ Look, that guy has money!

All that money and he still wears ugly ass hats

that was the most m'lady ass post I've read in a minute

Ah, and now we're onto critiquing my success, since that's the next easy target, having brought it up when responding to someone specifically trying to call me out as a pre-pubescent tween with no life.

If some of you would spend as much energy pulling yourself up as you do putting others down, you might be surprised how much your life improves. But that's hard, I know. Far easier to take shots at the people willing to stick their neck out and defy norms for the sake of their own happiness, far scarier to actually be one of those people.

It doesn't take any energy for us. And you're not "defying norms", either. Lots of people dress like you. And they all look stupid. And this condescension bullshit just makes you look like an ass.

Ah, right on time, here come the people on the internet who think I give a shit about their opinions.

See, that's the funny part: If I took to heart what every basement-dweller and nay-sayer thought about my life choices, you'd actually be right: My schedule would be wide open! I would still be living with my parents and probably flipping burgers.

Instead I live in my own place, work a full-time IT job + run a side business, and date an amazing woman (who coincidentally, doesn't like my hat, but still loves me anyway because people don't exist solely to please others).

And you know why? It's all because I'm more concerned with living my life the way I want to, instead of walking on eggshells trying to please people who have no impact on my well-being.

So: If any of you plan on becoming a senior executive at Herald Square NYC and signing off on my paystubs, or plan on becoming one of my many clients, by all means, give me a buzz and I'll be interested to hear what you have to say, on my fashion choices or otherwise. But if you can't measurably add value to my life or the lives of those I care about, your opinions are worth nothing to me.

None of this changes the fact that you have the exact same hat as my grandma.

bro, you can not care what other people think of you, and still have knowledge that a fedora is lame as hell.

Does your IT job let you wear hats in the building? I have a similar professional background and I'm looking for a casual business environment to work in. PM me with deets.

 

[FStop7]

No, they're horrible looking hats and you look horrible wearing them. Yes even you.

Even those people who look 'good' wearing them would look better without them.

Agreed. They even look out of place in the "good" pics.

 

[Count Dookkake]

Valid point.

 

[Lord Thrappleper The 49th]

In casual wear almost any situation a beanie is going to look 1000% better than a Trilby and also actually keep your head warm. Sorry about your luck.

And as i said earlier, i dont care about what other people think i look like, nor do i think i look cool or sexy in it. My trilby keeps my head warm and feels nice on my hair. Those are the only reasons i wear it during the winter.

What do you mean by luck, by the way?

 

[BlackJace]

Like, someone just said your purple Kangol was not a good look

You then go on to tell us about your wildly successful life

But nah you don't care b

 

[Alucrid]

What are your qualifications? We're looking for someone with 4 to 5 years of experience wearing a wide variety of different hat types. Different, norm defying colors a plus.

damn, this is extra cringeworthly lol

 

[HideyoshiJP]

I think they're fine if you dress the part. It'd loon pretty stupid if you wore a dress shirt with a pair of shorts. The problem is the "Fedora types" that adopted them. They brought great shame to a once-classy hat.

 

[Alucrid]

Unfortunately no, as we operate in a professional business environment any type of pattern ranging from plaids, stripes, checks, paisley or polka dots are not permissible in the work place.

 

[nel e nel]

whoa, wait a minute, skate shoes are on the poll now? And flip flops?

These are my weekend shoes

and I wear flip flops around the house/beach/pool

omg lol

child please

 

[Inferno313]

I live in Florida. You can bet your butt I wear flip flops and shorts sometimes. I'd die otherwise.

 

[Zona]

Shorts? I mean I likely wouldn't wear them to an office job, unless casual clothing was allowed, but how are they socially unacceptable? It regularly gets to 90+F were I live, if I wasn't in shorts I'd melt.

And what's wrong with a pair of converse? They go with anything under business casual in classiness.

Ah yes, the "here is a 5 paragraph rant about how I don't care about your opinions" meltdown. Always a classic.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Polos are questionable now? What about those of us that work for a living. Also shorts in general?

 

[Forgive Me]

thank you tuxedo hawk, this thread thrives on your efforts

What do you mean by luck, by the way?

Luck as in you can't wear a beanie and instead wear a Trilby. That's bad luck if I ever saw it.

It's cool that you don't care about what you look like, but try different head coverings and see what you come up with. Trilby's should be your last option for comfort and warmth if you don't actually care about style, since the Trilby doesn't really accomplish either of those things.

Polo shirts are socially questionable? Why?

As in "Why don't you own an entire rainbow of Polo shirts in different thread weights and materials?" questionable.

thank you tuxedo hawk, this thread thrives on your efforts

I can't wait to see his 3 paragraph post about how much he doesn't care about what you think of his efforts. (with an insert about how successful he is and an implication that you aren't)

It is okay as long as your bow tie has its own fedora

I dressed up as Darkwing Duck as a kid.

And you know why I did? Because up until this point this thread was a circle-jerk of dweebs using a tired stereotype to make themselves feel better, and that's about as stimulating as watching paint dry. Any other topic along these lines probably would've been locked pages ago.

But you have a half-point: I really am wasting my breath in this thread. I'm never going to convince all you Internet Tough Guys that doing, wearing, and thinking what you want is going to bring you more happiness. But it's hard not to flaunt a little, when half this forum is filled with little boys terrified half to death that something they do or say is going to get them made fun of on the internet, oh nooooooooo.

Anyway, I'm done, promise. You can go back to your little smug superiority party now, or you can continue to take shots at me, I don't really mind either way.

Purple might be going a bit far, but I work for a fashion-focused conglomerate, you can get away with a lot if you keep it semi-dressy at least. No graphic t-shirts or anything like that.
