polo shirts are never as horrible as the khakis that they are paired with.

 


They always make yr butt look big and yr package look small.

Yeah, that's because polo shirts look shit on Americans.

I'm wearing this exact shirt right now and I look terrific.

THIS is how u do casual friday. Notice NO f-ing polo shit. (I left the 'r' out on purpose)

 

Savage Clone 08.24.2009 12:13 PM

Working at a job that has a "casual Friday" is a bigger problem than what to wear on said Friday.

loubarret 08.24.2009 12:16 PM

That looks like I even would wear that and I mostly wear band t-shirts and some ragged jeans.

not if they tell you "polo and khakis"! it doesn't really matter to me though. they did away casual friday here, a few years. too many came in jeans and tennis shoes.

I'm just thankful that "mandatory tie" hasn't been reinstated.

although, I'm willing to be anyone's fashion bitch for the right price.

Savage Clone 08.24.2009 12:18 PM

I wouldn't mind working at a place where Casual Friday meant you had to cut your head off before coming to work like that, I guess.

Stepped into nest of them once. Couldn't get my clothes off fast enough. Later poured some gasoline down their hole and lit them muthas. SWAOOOOSH the flame came out their back door hole several feet away. What a blast!

gmku 08.24.2009 12:55 PM

The trouble with the way most men wear polos is that they wear them too big and tucked in. They should fit slim and be left untucked.

Regarding khakis/chinos, the big sin most men commit is wearing them pleated instead of plain front, and again, wearing them too baggy instead of more slim.

But yeah, generally, polos and khaki-colored khakis or chinos are not a good mix. Get into different colors, like white, grey, olive, blue, chinos they go much better together. For most of us, polos are easiest to do with jeans or at least jean-like pants. My favorite combo is a navy (slim-fitted) polo and white jeans.

floatingslowly 08.24.2009 12:59 PM

yes, but white jeans make it hard to hide the cheese-doodle stains.

gmku 08.24.2009 01:00 PM

Meh, why hide them? I display them proudly.

I wear only long-sleeve buttondowns at work--you wear long sleeves, you automatically have rank over those who don't. It's psychological.

But in my off hours during the summer, I wear practically nothing but polos. Figure if they were good enough for JFK, they're good enough for me.

gmku 08.24.2009 01:10 PM

What, married a beautiful woman and had sex with Marilyn Monroe? I could think of worse fates.

Glice 08.24.2009 01:19 PM

I can't offer anything in this thread, except to say that my perennial problem with winter jackets is that I can't get away with something like this:

 
and everything else seems a bit pointless next to not having that jacket.

Similarly, this:
 
would make me look particularly Hoxton (which would be especially a problem as my hair is currently somewhere between bobo and Hoxton twat).

I have a military thing, you see?

Savage Clone 08.24.2009 01:21 PM

I wear one a lot like that top one, but shorter. USA "Ike" WWII jacket.
I also still like my leather double-breasted DDR police jacket.

gmku 08.24.2009 01:22 PM

I am very much into a military thing this year. I now own a shorter WWII Ike kind of jacket for warmer months, a regular field-jacket kind of fatigue jacket for colder months, and a pair of fatigue-type cargo pants. I also like shirts with epaulets.

The pea coat is on my wish list for this winter.

Military-inspired clothing can be quite masculine and tough looking.

you hope that will compensate for your time spent discussing fashion? :p

Savage Clone 08.24.2009 01:27 PM

Tough, or gay?
It's borderline.
 

floatingslowly 08.24.2009 01:27 PM

^^^ depends. do you get called Roughrider a lot?

Savage Clone 08.24.2009 01:28 PM

I really do need that motorcycle.

Satan 08.24.2009 01:49 PM

Gay. Wrong tie underneath, and wrong shade of green on the shirt. I'd actually go for a collarless shirt, because there's just loads of very busy lines around your neck otherwise. Or unbutton the jacket. Also, I don't think the cut of the jacket flatters your shoulders, and I tend to think men live or die by the flattered shoulders.

Glice 08.24.2009 02:19 PM

I particularly like the fact the Drone will notice that the LPs before he does the top.

Rob Instigator 08.24.2009 02:24 PM

I had to add the LP's. would not have been right without them.

classics you know...

floatingslowly 08.24.2009 02:26 PM

I particularly dislike the fact the Rob hates TJAMC so bad that he left it where it was.

Savage Clone 08.24.2009 02:27 PM

It's only too bad that my Alice In Wonderland box set is not showing in the lower left. It was too far over.

I would have used a different tie, but that was the only one I had.

I really dislike your abuse of the letters 'l' and 'n', so I took them out of your post.

sure, I left out a word, but I certainly do not recall using a 'n'. how dare you.

although, considering I accused you of wanting to sniff clone's leather pants, I should be thankful that's the worst you can do.

He's said several times that he don't wear no undercrackers. I have it in my pivot charted spreadsheet of 'underwear-related facts on SYG'. Accusation is a dish best served punctiliously.

This is going so well. I'm going to book myself a two-way ticket on the fanny train.

Glice 08.24.2009 02:52 PM

Don't spend too long making sense of that last sentence.
