Support NeoGAF

[ViewtifulJC]

People getting kind of defensive in here.

First they came for the Fedoras, and I did not speak out - because I am not a Fedora

Then they came for the Cargo Shorts, and I did not speak out - because I have no cargo shorts

Then they came for the Bowties, and I did not speak out - because I don't wear them

Then they came for my polos - and there was no one left to speak for me

 

[Mr.Mike]

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

Your carpet.

 

[fatchris]

I occasionally spot people with fedoras at college. They're always kids dressed in all black too. That's what happens when you take your social cues from the Internet and not your actual environment.

 

[Guevara]

Polos, shorts and flip-flops are all fine, if the weather calls for it.

 

[TxdoHawk]

Man, I told myself that was the last post, but...

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

So first I was I was a pre-pubescent child with no real schedule, now we are admitting I'm successful but because I like wearing a purple hat on occasion, it doesn't count and I should feel bad about how I look because...?

Instead of moving the goalposts inch by inch, why don't you just admit how you actually feel: The thought of someone with an attitude like mine being successful and happy bothers you. There, done, we don't have to argue about this anymore.

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.

No, I'm done after this, for real this time. When the talking points get this inane, there's really no point. Like this:

Enjoy your IT job!

I mean, considering I was just promoted...I guess...I will? Is this supposed to be a dig? Are IT jobs not a valid method of employment? What do you do that's so much more important by comparison buddy, brain surgery? This is just you reaching for anything you can grab onto at this point. Sit down, hater.

[dejay]

I'm laughing at the people not understanding the poll and getting defensive.

stuff

Dude, stop digging. For someone who doesn't care, you are going to lengths to justify your relationship with a purple hat.

 

[Switch Back 9]

What the fuck is wrong with skate shoes?

edit: and shorts? Flip flops? What the hell do you wear in the summer? Going by this poll 98% of the population of Australia is dressing wrong.

 

[~automatic]

- Fedoras: Fuck no!

- Graphic shirts: Can be hit or miss. Don't wear anything with Sonic or your waifu on it. EDIT: or anything with huge logos (like Famous Stars or Aeropostale).

- Cargo shorts/pants: Should only be worn for function; like if you are a field medic or a photojournalist.

- Polo shirts: Loud colors and/or stuff from Aeropostale or Abercrombie look douche-y and childish.

- Flip flops: Cool for the beach or pool.

- Shorts are iffy. Like, cargo shorts and jorts are no. But B-ball shorts and chino shorts can def be rocked with some thought to style. Some street wear fits are killer w/ basketball shorts. New England prep style (JFK wear) makes chino shorts look great with the right shirt and shoes.

- Skate shoes have gotten really nice lately. Those obnoxiously huge Etnies and Osiris shoes are a thing of the past. Classics from Vans will always look good, but Nike, Emerica, Adidas, and HUF are putting out nice lookig shoes with good performance elements.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

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

i can assure you my voting for every single option is a relfection on how I dress all the time

 

[Chuck Norris]

I have a fedora, the licensed Indiana Jones one. I look terrible wearing it, so I don't wear it.

I do have a few trilbies that I wear every now and again. Wore one at my wedding, and I have another my wife brought back from Greece for me.

You wore a fedora to your wedding? Did you tip it as you did your vows?

 

[Reverend Funk]

I wear flip flops everyday I can cause I got some nice looking feet.

10/10.

Better than DocPan honestly.

 

[Apoc87]

I do and I also have shapely genitalia

 

[Chris R]

Shorts are socially questionable now?

 

[Monocle]

I wear four fedoras, stacked, and a top hat to crown the lot. I don't even have to say "m'lady." Chicks just fly at me crotch-first. My life is an Axe commercial.

Spoiler

I had no idea GAF has multiple choice polls.

I do and I also have shapely genitalia

I can tell.

 

[Peltz]

Yes... pants too.

 

[msdstc]

LMAO when the hell did shorts became questionable? Did I miss something? Nobody ever step foot in a gym, on a basketball court, baseball field, park, etc. because you may be disgusted by the short wearing masses. That is hilarious to me what a joke.

 

[-Plasma Reus-]

I actually have none of those.

 

[Ganzlinger]

There are two kinds of people in this world. Those who wear shorts and those who wear skirts.

 

[PandaShake]

I'm used to the polo shirt + jean combo because that's whats casual for office casual Fridays. I'm out of the loop, what's wrong with polo shirts? They're just plain colored shirts with no graphics and a collar right?

 

[Wolfe]

What's it matter? In most cases, the people who look bad in trilby hats look bad in fedoras and vice versa. It's not like one is enough superior to the other to warrant a distinction in this discussion, so who are you helping by being pedantic like that?

You're like the kid who thinks he's clever by still playing his Xbox after his mom tells him no more Nintendo.

It doesn't matter, but guy made reference to "neckbeards" being referred to as fedoras and claimed the distinction no longer mattered which is a silly statement. Plus as I already pointed out the OP was specifically asking about people (here on this board) wearing said hats so the clarification made sense.

You can disagree that's fine, doesn't make your post any less condescending and pointless, what exactly are you bringing to the conversation now?

You are fantastic.

 

[ZeroRay]

I generally wear a polo to work and flip flops when stepping out to do quick errands cause fuck shoes.

In Miami btw

 

[Bisnic]

How are shorts in the poll? I mean, what else are you suppose to wear during the hot days of summer? Just your underwear?

 

[msdstc]

nothing at all. Why don't we add shirts, shoes, socks, etc. to the poll because those are clearly embarrasing.

Inb4 another post.

The distinction does not matter for this discussion. Both look bad on most people and it was pretty clear the OP was talking about either/or.

 

[Shadax the wizard]

Bound to happen when others are judgmental.

This thread was judgemental from page one though.

 

[dejay]

Going by this poll 98% of the population of Australia is dressing wrong.

This is factually correct.

 

[Arials]

We need another poll saying "Which of these items of clothing do you consider socially unacceptable?"

And how can a full 40% of people claim they never wear shorts, do they all live in the Antarctic?

 

[CrowdChant]

I have a feeling that a significant portion of NeoGAF wears a fedora or one of its relatives.

 

[The Beard]

Ashamed of their milky white chicken legs?

 

[Shadax the wizard]

I mostly cringe when people try to pull off this look but don't wear a hat. It's the worst.

 

[tattooed_dwarf]

Is there some fashion GAF thread or something where I can see what people think are good or bad dressing, maybe with pictures too? I mean that would at least be pretty entertaining thread.

 

[Emitan]

Girls in fedora= yes yes yes good this is good i like it

boys in fedora: pls go 2 mars i dont like u bye

 

[ItIsOkBro]

Those are fine if your mom is still driving you to the mall.

 

[BigEvilTurtle]

Yes.


For a costume party I'm going to tonight.

Converse for high-tops

Vans for low-tops

That's what you're doing wrong

 

[Hollycat]

I'd like to say that admitting to the bowtie is only because it goes with my maid outfit. Bowties and ribbons.
mwahahaha

Also, as a girl I can get away with all the things on the list

 

[Conkersbadfurday]

My normal day wardrobe pretty much consists of jeans, shorts (cargo mostly), and band tshirts. Sandals all day every day in the summer. Fuck I hate socks.

The other day my friend told me I dress like I'm homeless, which I thought was funny and also probably true.

/shrug. Shit's comfortable and I ain't trying to impress anyone.

 

[Fury451]

So much blood is being shed over a hat.

 

[Trouble]

I wear the hell out of some polo shirts. Usually golf or tennis shirts that have shmancy high-tech fabric. Bonus is you will never have visible sweat spots and they dry super quick if you do get sweaty.

Secret Shame:

Spoiler

Costco is a really good place to buy them. $20-$30 for name brand golf shirts with performance fabrics.

 

[BobbyRobby]

Even in a place like GAF that prides itself on inclusiveness, a sort of class system will form

So fashionable nerds have to separate themselves from, and mock the unfashionable nerds.

It's weird

 

[esms]

I have to wear these. My feet are criminally flat.

 

[cHaotix8]

I agree with this. Fashion GAF, show us what you've got!

So this is what happens when an adult dresses like a child.

 

[Andy Believes]

I love fedoras. I have a whole collection.

Strangely, all the vociferous posts are from people that don't post in there. We may dress terribly and spend too much money but we are also a chill people.
