How about newsie hats? Are those acceptable to wear in public?

 

[liliththepale]

Is it because you can't see their kneecaps? Are kneecaps sexy?

That in part, but more the fact that it looks like they have an entire warehouse on their legs. Kind of similar to whenever guys make fun of girls with huge suit cases.

 

[zethren]

Also the length and bagginess of those cargo shorts makes them look shorter than they are.

Polos aren't socially questionable, but I wouldn't wear one. I don't think they look good, personally. But if you do wear one, please tuck it in (and wear a belt).

 

[marrec]

I don't wear shorts unless I'm in the gym.

And I live in Florida. What do I wear instead of chinos in the summer? Linen pants.

James Bond would never wear shorts.

He'd wear shorts at the beach.

 

[Surface of Me]

I exclusively wear basketball shorts for my shorts needs. I've let go of the cargo.

 

[Killer Queen]

Are skate shoes acceptable if you know, I actually skate?

 

[Mr Nash]

What on earth is wrong with graphic tees? =O

Also, have no problem with cargo pants. Maybe it's just that I'm getting older and simply buy what I'm interested in, not really giving a shit about what other people think because I'm not in fucking high school anymore, but whatever. =\

 

[liliththepale]

Yes. Yes he would!

Skate shoes are acceptable in any casual situation. The mods are just making a funny.

 

[Frankenstrat]

I think that part might be colored by seeing shirt graphics that are obnoxious as hell. They can definitely work if designed well and you're in the right situation, though it is inherently a little cheesy.

 

[zethren]

Skate shoes are fine! A nice simple pair of vans can look great as a casual shoe. As long as the rest of the outfit coincides, and the shoes aren't ratty and damaged. Nobody likes a ratty shoe

Shits tacky.

 

[Dereck]

This is...depressing.

Painfully awkward.

 

[FairyD]

During vacations I like wearing shorts with the pockets of a cargo pants. I like them since I can keep a map, a passport, my wallet, my hotel card in all of the handy pockets.

 

[The Lamp]

Shorts that barely cover the kneecaps are fine. Kneecaps are usually ugly as sin.

 

[Crimson Streak]

There is a surprising lack of trench coats, jeggings, and shutter shades in that poll.

 

[AJLma]

Flip flops & shorts all day.

Try and take them off me.

i wear three of them at the same time

 

[themagicalkitsune]

I like polo shirts, damn you poll.

Should I just go out naked?

"polos are so tacky"

Excuse me as I walk out of my Tim Burton film.

You guys can be weird sometimes.

 

[Supermanisdead]

polos are for sad old men

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

Those polos above either too baggy or not fit right:

No the little alligator makes it cool.

Obviously, I was just going for an aesthetic.

As someone who has broad shoulders and a built shape, polos look really good on me compared to some cuts of other shirts. A pink polo looks absolutely great though,

 

[Strangelove77]

I make fun of fedoras, but you should wear whatever you want. Everyone makes fun of everyone else no matter what anyways. If you're a slob or very fashion forward, someone is going to make fun of you for it.
So just enjoy looking like a nerd, bum or douche.

 

[KiwiLannister]

Flip flops? What else do you wear to the beach? Sandals are not very practical if you're going in and out of the water.

Bow ties, they're great with a tux, otherwise they generally look ridiculous.

Shorts are where American fashion is weird. I notice you guys hate shorts that go above the knee (talking about guys). In NZ, and I'm pretty sure it's the same in Aus, there is a long tradition of "stubbies" aka short shorts, like what you would wear for Rugby. They're pretty popular for exercise or going to the beach etc. in summer when it's hot. As for regular chino type shorts most people here only wear ones that stop well above the knee. Looks ridiculous otherwise and it's really uncomfortable if you bend your knee and the short is interfering. I'm pretty sure it's the same in Europe.

You literally don't see anyone walking around with cargo shorts or jean shorts that go past the knee. Jean shorts are somewhat popular but they're cut somewhat slim and above the knee unlike those Cena monstrosities.

edit: Polo shirts! Come on now you're just taking stuff that is worn incorrectly in the states and applying that everywhere else. What else do you play golf or cricket in? A slim fitting polo, in non-tacky colours, without any hideous logos, is one of the most flattering items of clothing on anyone with a decent figure. Wearing an XXXL polo when you're overweight is not going to do you any favours, neither is wearing a bright pink polo with a 10cm wide logo.

 

[Surface of Me]

Polos are what fuccbois wear.

 

[Fuzzery]

The only good polos are tight polos

 

[Sioen]

The trolling mod probably wears a fedora himself.

[SeriousApes]

I used to have a nice pair of slim fit cargo pants. They made my butt look awesome and they fit really well. But they got all torn up. They were great for hiking and stuff. I miss them...

 

[tattooed_dwarf]

this dude be wearing the BAGGIEST suits tho

like bruh you rich and have an incredible build, your shit shouldn't look like this

That suit looks like it's prop from Denzel Washington movie. I mean almost always in movies he wears suits that have horrible baggy fit.

 

[Switch Back 9]

Converse for high-tops

Vans for low-tops

That's what you're doing wrong

Pfft. Lakai's all day.

 

[freenudemacusers]

random trivia, but denzel's suits in american gangster and some others were bespoke suits.

and yeah they are pretty 'full' cut.

That's normal since it's movie.

 

[bomma_man]

Any short below the knee is pretty suspect tbh

 

[Blood Diamonds]

i wear shorts to class because that shit starts at 10 am and i wake up at 8 and take a shower and then get there on time fuck u

 

[webkatt]

Poll needs a cargo shorts option

 

[ZackieChan]

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



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.



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



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.

Atheism baptism!

 

[Forkball]

GAF was finally torn asunder not by the console wars, but by what we decide to wear over our underwear.

 

[Fusebox]

Polos socially questionable? The fuck? If you're fit and awesome like me, then polos look good. Nice size chest, broad shoulders, and big arms will fill a polo out nicely.

GAF gonna GAF, I rock Fred Perry polos all summer in the office.

 

[Frost_Ace]

Polos are great, here in Europe are pretty much the standard for casual male clothing. Are the peoole hating on them americans?

How much longer until gaf tells me I'm wearing the wrong kind of underwear?

 

[Tesseract]

make it to 50 in good shape and you can wear a fedora

 

[TheRedSnifit]

[hobblygobbly]

I have a fair amount of shorts and trousers, I like wearing both. I don't wear anything else mentioned in the poll. All my shorts end just below the knee or on the knee which is the right height for me IMO, above the knee is weird and too long where it's almost trousers is also weird. I'm quite tall (195cm / 6'4) and have long legs so I look silly any other way.

Pretty much this is the perfect height for men shorts I think:

 

[hateradio]

I have a Penguin polo similar to this, and I like it. 😳

 

[Fusebox]

Nah, thats a good length for cargos but too long for no pockets. Not a very nice colour either.

 

[Stevey]

Wtf at polos?
They look good on normal people like me :v

 

[GorillaJu]

I do have some fedoras and trilbies, don't really wear them, but they aren't cool nowadays anyway.
