Fashion for Nerds

uggs =horrible fashion sense

I find myself attracted to women who have the latest fashion... from the 50s.

I wish there were a site like that for women. What's wrong with a claculator watch? I wear my son's sometimes.

Is it okay if I wear blue jeans and a white cotton shirt everyday?

Alot of good stuff there.
However some of that is rubbish.
The acid jeans or whatever you call there are really fashionable where i live.
Also sneakers are good to wear always
That is as long as you keep them white like theyr suppost to be.

I agree with the usual stuff about the sandals and tucking your shirt in.
Tucking your shirt in is just plain dumb.
What you want to do is try and make your upper body look broader, not your legs.
Tucking it in makes you look broad at the hips in comparison to your upper body.

I usually wear whatever fits me at the time.
In the winter i rarely work out so i never wear tight stuff.
But in the summer when i work out 3 times a week i wear tight shirts.
Trust me women just love that.

When it comes to pants i just wear regular shape.
Not tight not baggy because i seriously dislike both.
My jeans are never plain but always have something on them.

Whoa, fashion for geeks? LOL

It's difficult for one site to tell you how to dress, as the ideal would vary depending on so many factors, such as age, job, and who you're around. For example, here in Australia, running shoes are only unfashionable as you either get older or go up the socio-economic ladder. If you're studying at one of the best unis then running shoes are just for nerds, but at tafe, they're more acceptable.

There are more important short comings of that site. They say you can't go wrong with "Men's Loafers". This is plainly wrong to young men in casual environments. At least this is the case in Sydney Australia. Gloves would also be plainly weird in this country - perhaps because it's a warm beachy place. In summary: you cannot summarise how to dress.

There is one constant though. DO NOT WEAR SOCKS WITH SANDALS!

If you really want to learn (ie, if you dont want to a sign on your forhead saying "stay away girls"), then I suggest you get the help of a friend.

Alex, if you see any more sites like this, please post them. It's an important lifeskill that so many guys refuse to learn, often just out of insecurity of putting on something new.

hm, i see a lot of people that wear socks and slippers (flip flops) to school. haha

My fashion sense = Blank T-Shirt + Jeans

Simply fabulous, dahling.

I'm so sick and tired of people telling me what I can/can't wear. I hated middle/high school for that very reason. I couldn't just put on what I liked. I had to worry about meeting some arbitrary fashion standard that changed more than the weather and whatever was in was the most uncomfortable to wear. Tight anything, short skirts that show all your business.... And high heels? What sadistic a**hole thought that up? And woe be it to anyone who deviated even the slightest.

It was such a relief when I started college. No more worrying about whether I'm wearing the right brand of expensive shoes, burning my hair trying to straighten it or carrying some impractical purse that can barely hold a tube of lipstick much less all the junk I carry.

What a lot of guys (NT, AS, doesn't matter) REFUSE to acknowledge is that your clothing is basically writing messages on yourself for other people to read. Your chosen style of fashion tells a short story - a summary - of who you are and what you're like.

Each item of clothing will represent just a few words - a nice shirt on a guy could say he's clean, well-groomed, intelligent, modern and strong. The tie he puts with it could say he's got a bright, effervescent personality and a strong sense of humour because of its colours...or alternatively a more traditional tie could say he's very formal, serious.

The whole outfit is important too. My guy wears old shorts and has an unending supply of t-shirts. He's always got a cap on. He's 17 and has quite a grown-up, mature face...the childish dress sense not only blatantly reveals his immature side, but the fact that it clashes with his features age-wise and the fact that it's so CASUAL also says he doesn't care about his appearance. To the point he doesn't mind embarrassing me with it Trust me lads. Most girls don't want to go out with someone that's pitifully dressed.

This isn't to say that you MUST comply with the exact current trend. That would be letting someone write THEIR message on you! With so much on offer out there, and with what's already in your wardrobes, you're 100% bound to find your own style.

Just remember what different things say though. Socks with sandals may be darn comfortable but so's finally ridding yourself of an itch with a public emergency crotch rearrangement

One thing I can say for the ladies...watch the waistlines on your clothes! Pants that sit on the hips are more flattering, but also are more modern. High-waisted pants and belts make the hips look larger and the waist look smaller, but it makes your torso look very short. And to execute this style without looking very old-fashioned it really should be done with a professional, high fashion approach. Not with jeans.

So yeah - keep that in mind. Clothes aren't simply to protect you from the elements and to be comfortable now, society has mutated it into 'fashion' - a way to speak to people. Each item speaks a few words. Write your message carefully if you want people to react to you in a certain way - if you don't care, who KNOWS what you're saying to people!
