To me it just looks wrong. Never mind the social association, it's a formal hat!! Don't wear it with casual clothes. Might as well put a tie around your polo shirt. Eugh.

 

[FromTheFuture]

i only leave the house wearing every single item listed

 

[Forgive Me]

No. When I want to say "M'lady" I put on my robe and wizard hat.

real wizards dont need to make social pleasantries with the opposite gender! they are too busy with fireballs and dragons and stuff, duh

 

[MrHoot]

A long time ago before his passing, my grandpa encouraged me and we picked a Borsalino fedora hat together and with my mom. I would wear it mostly for occasions, or in winter if i had my coat and scarf. After a while I learned that I should wear it with suits.

Then internet happened a few years later and I learned everybody hates them.

I still like that hat tho. I keep it and wear it maybe for very special occasions with like a full suit but it surely got a lot of negative connotations now that it mostly gets dust now. I'm a bit sad about it. They're nice hats

Nooo, cargo pants are now in the same category as fedoras/trilbys?!

I like wearing cargo short in the summer for extra storage.

 

[Alucrid]

The only reason I don't like the Chukka style Desert Boots is because it doesn't allow me to show that little 1-2in of sock when sitting.

I realize that makes me a special kind of vain.

I have a solution for you, simply trim off 1 to 2 inches of your pant legs to have the best of both worlds

Then they won't break right. Your solutions are junk!

 

[Piggus]

They look nice on some people, but most people wearing them look like a fucking idiot. I'm not really sure what kind of statement someone is trying to make when they combine a fedora with cargo shorts and a My Little Pony t-shirt. Are they trying to shield themselves against women (or everyone for that matter)?

They've been in the same category as long as the fedora/trillby tbh. They were always grouped together.

I don't even know where people buy cargo shorts/pants? Does everyone just have leftovers from Old Navy or something?

 

[Vitten]

What's wrong with shorts and polo shirts in the summer ?

Fuck fashion man, go on sweating like a pig while I feel comfy and cool.

 

[genjiZERO]

When I'm not sporting a sweet mint green t shit and red-orange cardigan I wear sky blue polo shirts (Lacoste brand), Rainbow sandals and trouser-cut shorts. Today I'm wearing a blazer over a t shirt.

 

[Haribi]

Shorts and polo shirts are socially questionable?

 

[Alucrid]

Mobile site really needs poll support

I'll PM a mod to mark you down for flip-flops

Skate Shoes here, they are too comfy for me to care.

 

[FinalStageBoss]

Man fuck ya'll, shorts and flip flops are bad now? What am I supposed to wear around my pool

 

[Nibel]

I won't be surprised if someone defends flame pattern shirts/shorts at some point in this thread

"Men Rights"

..as if these two wouldn't get away with a shooting or two

 

[M0nochromatic]

It's a good thing that I only wear plaid button up shirts and jeans, so that I don't stand out at all and just blend in to the background.

I just like the extra pockets cargo shorts give me to hold things. I have never been a fan of plaid shorts or line patterns.

I had no ideal this puts me in the same category as a fedora wearer :-(.

They're doing characters right? They can't possibly be real people. Men's rights? Fedora, nerd shades, flame shirt, fingerless gloves, wallet chain, black sweater with a wavy zipper, oh my!

 

[dubc35]

I thought it was odd too. Sure 18 popped collars are terrible but a polo shirt is staple business casual in the warmer months. Also if it's 90+ degrees I'm wearing shorts...and flip flops.

But then again, Seattle is the most casually dressed city...and I'm ok with that.

 

[biggersmaller]

This remind me a lot of what my friends and I wore freshman year of high school (1999). If MRA was a thing, I probably would've been into that, too.

These two could be wearing a suit to the office and have a suburban family someday.

A pool? How decadent, I bet you're AMERICAN. You're supposed to live in an industrial human kennel in the middle of a dense city. For the environment or something.

 

[Einchy]

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.

This post is like a fedora in text form.

 

[Skellig Gra]

Whats wrong with polo shirts? I'm thoroughly confused.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Polo shirts are socially questionable now? Whoever made this poll is weird and/or just thinking of chav-like polo shirts.

 

[The Beard]

Whats wrong with polo shirts? I'm thoroughly confused.

Nothing. I wear shorts 95% of the year when I'm not at work. I'm not going to suddenly stop or become self conscious just because someone on the internet says they don't like them.

 

[Volimar]

No. When I want to say "M'lady" I put on my robe and wizard hat.

+1 to sexterity

 

[RunTheBrules]

Who has a problem with shorts? It gets hot out sometimes and I don't like roasting, sheesh.

 

[TheKaeptain]

There is nothing wrong with bow ties if you know when to rock one.

 

[bennywhatever]

Cargo pants are awesome for hiking. I typically put mutli-tools, LED Flashlight, and a few other things in those pockets while I hike.

They're also great for carpentry. I can put my tape measure in one and L Bracket in another.

They're so useful. Until yesterday (and that shitty article on Huffington Post a few weeks ago), I had never ever heard of people dissing cargo shorts/pants. I guess it's the cool thing to do?

 

[Phreaker]

Shorts are socially questionable now?

What is the world coming to?

And polo shirts and T-shirts with any graphics? WTF are people "supposed" to wear?

aww, still juniored. cant vote ;_;

If you wear clothes you're dumb

Here's a tip. You can be successful in life and still look like a weirdo that dresses like a child.

But please, tell me more about how you don't care about anyone's opinions when you desperately to justify your life to us with five paragraphs of shoulder-patting. Enjoy your IT job!

 

[Tiops]

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.

Such an euphoric post.

 

[jelly]

If you've got shit to do, cargo pants are fine.

Hats, unless you actually wear it with a proper outfit like summer smart or suited for work, don't bother, you're just a walking fashion attention whore or a fashion disaster.

Side thought, Americans and baseball caps. Are they born with them attached to their heads. Warm sunny weather all the time, fair do which may be the case. If not, what the hell are you doing, you can't all be celebrities incognito.

 

[komplanen]

28 fedora wearers is a little too much even for Gaf. Maybe joke votes?

Both of my brother-in-laws wear baseball caps every day. I think they do for 2 reasons:
1. They're outside almost all day.
2. They don't like their hair (or lack thereof).

When I'm outside all day, I'll definitely wear a ball cap.

It's real. Also dozens of "I don't have an opinion on gamer gate but..." posters.

 

[Volimar]

People getting kind of defensive in here.

 

[EvilKatarn]

that struggle mustache makes me think it's real.

You seem to care an awful lot.
