My male fasion rave.

StephenInsane

What spurred me to make this rave, is the fact that I recently bought a pair of trousers, plain cream cords, e50. I took the labels off and started wearing them, when I noticed they were slightly flaired. FOR F**K SAKE! FLAIRED!? What straight man would wear them? I threw them in the closet and never wore them again. I've noticed nearly 1/3 of the clothes I buy I never wear. I think this is something got to do with the fact I always try to get stuff cheap, sometimes convincing myself somethings cool if it's going cheap. Also I have a tendiency to buy stuff that looks cool on the hanger, even if it would look v.stupid on.

Another thing. Is there any other trousers as cool as stonewash jeans to wear to bars? Everyone wears them, and they're really cool looking, but I want to try something different.

Doctor Funfrock

what???? flared trousers are the only way to go, bootcut trousers look STUPID

danny

superconor

yeh i gotta agree with doctor there, flares are teh win, but bootcut jeans are pretty cool. straight legs....naw...

btw stephen do you wear the jeans with the sandblasts on them and shirts that look slightly crumpled effect?

The Beer Baron

Baggy Joe Bloggs and X-wurx all the way!

Seraphina

maybe try the ****ing stuff on before you buy it?
the rooms are there for a reason

paulthelegend

I think the only way to look "Cool" now is to wear what ever the feck you want like some people spend hundreds on cloths and hair to look the way i look when im on a two week bender haha

As for trying stuff on ... the man just said he wasnt gay men dont try stuff on ... we go home try it on the night were going out, if it doesnt fit we throw it in the closet never to be seen again, we never even bring stuff back ....

god i miss the days when you could just get your ma to bring stuff back and get a refund

men are muppets

I buy neat and black (preferably cheap), it works well with everything. Not a fad, no brand names. Well cut suit jackets, easy to iron shirts, good heavy jumpers, a few pairs of black trousers, some pipe legged jeans are all a man needs (aside from tee-shirts, socks and boxers). I can't understand some men who'll spend so much pn clothes (or soem women for that matter). Thankfully my girlfriend is of teh same opion, if it think it suits you and you like it, buy it wear it and don't give a **** what anyone lese thinks. Though honestly I hate people with terrible fashion sense, they make me cringe sometimes. Pink is wrong, so wrong. *shakes head*

Doctor Funfrock

pink shirt with a suit looks GREAT

paulthelegend

Women are Muppets .... Thats a totaly separate thread ... and actually i think it should be a totaly separate section in the boards

... Men - V - Women ....

a place where we could all go to frustrate each other by reading how stupid the oposite sex is without them even knowing how stupid they are
(i was very PC there and put in "the oposite sex is" instead of "women are")

Doctor Funfrock

mmmmmmm woman :cool:

Jim

Men would just turn it into a Slydice Special.

Havelock

Pink and suit, only if your tanned, other wise it makes you looks silly.

Rabies

X-works, Eclipse, Joe Bloggs..... Ahhhh the memories....

The_Bullman

don't for get the

Nice Aand Safe Attitude

jackets to go with the xworks

Just found a cool web-site, containing the type of clothes I usually wear. From which I made up this outfit. Which would be what I'd typically wear out.

http://www.w1style.co.uk/






But this outfit would cost about £100 sterling, and I'd never pay that.

Doctor Funfrock

thanks

that site is great

Oriel

Just be like me, wear stuff that you think looks good and is comfortable. Fcuk fashion. (no pun intended)

Tellox

pft. Fashion? I wear whatever I think looks nice/makes me feel comfortable.
For instance, look at waterford.
Fashion here is Jeans, Hoodie, either a skinhead, or a cap on/hood up.
I wear tracksuit pants, usually one of my bloggs shirts (with the naughty words wrote in leet on them), and have bleach-blonde hair, spiked up on end.

Fcuk Fashion, indeed.

dudara

Speaking as a woman I would never approach or go out with a man who
(a) smoked
(b) over-gelled his hair
(c) wore Ralph Lauren/Hilfiger/Sherman check shirts (complete lack of originality)
(c) wore jeans that looked like they'd be in a serious accident with a belt sander.

There's dressing well, and then there's being an idiot.

I was just about to ask the very same thing! Why don't you try on the stuff before you buy, then you might realise if it's a flared pair of jeans or bootcut or whatever.

Iron Petes

As a man I think it's very healthy to care about your appearance, long gone are the days when you were deemed lesser or vain by wearing new clothes. If a man dresses well it broadcasts that he's confident. I use the changing rooms in clothes shops even though I f**king despise it & feel like a complete spanner. It's just business acumen, if you're going to pay 50 yoyos on a shirt you want to see that it suits you. Try Zara on henry st. for flash yet cheapish shirts et al.

Well that rules out jeans for a start. Whoever the hell made them fashionable should be shot. Bloody awkward,
unconfortable, irratating.........:mad:

Doctor Funfrock

Dressing well is important i think. It distinguishes you from tramps and careless people ww)

Iron Petes

although there is alot to be said for wino chic. Nothing says young 'mover & shaker' like 15 cans of dutch gold.

empirix

Personally...I like to dress well and i must admit i do buy quite expensive clothes - for instance yesterday i bought a blue lacoste half zip jumper for €130(i know a lot of skangers where lacoste, but they wouldn't where this, its plain navy blue with no stripes!!).
I bought a nice Christian Door shirt for €80. These will go well with my boot cut jeans and boots. I always try everything on because if i spend a lot of money on something i want it to fit well if it don't i don't buy it. Always try on your clothes boys!

The one thing i say about expensive clothes, well my ones anyway, they last forever and some are timeless, they never go out and always look good. Plus you respect and look after them more.

Peace!

Here's another example of a typical night out.

There seems to be some sort of mass conspiracy theory by mens clothes designers in that they are trying to turn us all into poofs by dressing us like poofs. Jeans, T-shirt and boots are the way to go...for me anyway.

nads

stepheninsane - don't be that guy..... ah no i'm only joking you're alright.

paulthelegend

Ur not getting in with them runners on in the pics :P

I think the conspiracy began with the introduction of them feckin tea towel shirts !!!! what happened? one day shirts were nice the next day i went in to buy a shirt and came out with a headache ... all them stripes and checks .... stop the madness!

Altho i do welcome the wrinkled looking shirts mean you dont have to iorn your normal shirts just call it fasion

Big Ears

People looking for nice T-shirts ?






take the next flight to Thailand and buy tonnes for about E2 each :eek:

LadyPenelope

StephenInsane do not go out in those trainers .... no, no, not a good look. Boots .. yea definitely Boots.

Let's break this down:

2. I've noticed nearly 1/3 of the clothes I buy I never wear.....
3. Also I have a tendiency to buy stuff that looks cool on the hanger.....
4. trousers as cool as stonewash jeans....

1. Ghey trousers tbh
2. Only women are meant to do this....
3. Ditto
4. Trousers do not look "cool"


Conclusion: Sounds like you might be a bit gay. You could be the next George Michael. What's your singing voice like?

Just a few points...
§ It's a rant (whining) - a rave is praising, acclaiming etc (or, before the smartarses come out - a hyped-up [in country accent] dissgo]
§ What's wrong with even just trying them on at home before you take any of the tags off? Then returning to store and admitting you made a mistake, they look terrible, what were you thinking and the cute salesperson smiling knowingly and...
§ Posted pics look good
§ Have any other guys been a bit miffed at the rip-off prices just for a pair of boxers/trunks/other? Talk about being grabbed by the balls ffs! :-/
§ Haha DMT

I tend to buy a lot of good teeshirts, defeated by my mostly wearing tops. As for how much I spend? I tend to be quite frugal. I don't see any point whatsoever in spending €130 on a pair of jeans when I could get something which looks similar for €15 in Penneys.

It's more about how you can carry off a look. There's no point - as ppl have said - trying to look like the rest when that look mightn't suit you.


...says the guy with a lame (but improving - honest!) fashion sense.

i think your just buying bad boxers man lol

ill only wear proper flares that completely cover my shoes *gives me floatly effect*
that or baggies that completely cover my shoes so the only jeans i have now are pop brand:)

i think www.spunky.co.uk are good for tshirts

banquo

i find hte best thing is to buy nice novelty boxers -they're half price (7 to 10 euro), and they have the added benefit of having cartoons on them!

im pretty fond of my superman boxers.. which are _neat_.

JackKelly

all clothes now have big fecking bells attached. Bits of random felt glued all over the place. I was in topman today, whats with lads now wearing sweatbands out.Hows that cool. And those damn trucker hats.T-Shirts with jackets are the way to go. Especially witty tshirts.Then NORMAL trousers with no fancy dye or paper or strings on them. Argh.

Stephen

Those trousers with stupid bits of string/rope/whatever hanging off the legs are the most retarded looking garments ever.

Christ, that's lame! That's like all those naff T-shirts you find in topman with the oh-so-clever logos.

ferdi

i usually go out wearing something like this:





those pants which have been intentionally dammaged or worn or faded are sheit, end of story.

Iron Petes

Respect. Have you ever considered running for local elections?

Shirt & comfy jeans, what more do ya need?
