Would you wear a cape?

There is an obese nerdy guy I work with for the past 8 years. He wears a cape.... Ahead of the curve? On trend? Eh, no.

Capes are for obese people to me.

I saw a guy with a beard and a hat so hats are for bearded men.

Also it's "ahead of the curve". Why would it be "curb"?

Posted from phone, fixed.

I mean to say, I associate capes with obese nerdy guys, not handsome gentleman models, or the general public.

Haha yes, I know superheroes wear capes, as in fictional.

This is a fashion thing for sale in shops.

In the 'age of the individual' we have never seemed more sartorially comformist or conservative. Why in my youth punks and rockers roamed the streets beating each other up before ganging up on the hippies while some stiff in a pinstripe suit looked on tutting... today everybody wears the 'uniform' of bland jeans and T's with individuality expressed only in the occasional 'witty' slogan written on it.

Individuals my ass!

Isn't that the thing though, in the supposed age of the individual, individuality has actually never been more scarce, you're not lazy, your scared to express your laziness! Propper lazy people just wouldn't bother to get out of their pyjamas to leave the house....... :P
