Fashion for Nerds

Post Reply New Topic

My fashion involves getting clothes at Target, Ross, and the like, and rarely.

If something pinches, it needs to be moved. Sorry, but there's no ignoring it.

It's just not nice to yoink things around when you're walking down the street or in a shopping centre Similar things can happen for gals with heavier chests, sometimes an emergency rearrangement is necessary. But not where everyone can see...that's private

I was just talking to some people at work about tight jeans. Apparently young men like to wear womens' slim-fit jeans because the tight fit is fashionable right now (I guess it's a skater look or something like that). Personally, I thought that the tight jeans were sort of a gay fashion. Apparently I was wrong.

I did ask if assless chaps + tight jeans = gay. The answer is still yes.

Amen.

It's all about power. You the individual has a great deal of power over how the world perceives you, starting with how you dress, wear your hair, and carry yourself. All this is stuff people can see from across the street. Why not take advantage of the tools available? If you want people to perceive you in a certain way, make them.

Shale: Brilliant post. Thanks for that.

I'd just like to add that if you start to refine your clothes, you will after a while learn to enjoy it and take pride in it. It becomes part of who you are.

Glad a few people here can agree

Yes, it is power isn't it? When you think about it. You can control the first impression - the MOST important thing in initiating contact of any kind with someone. If you immediately turn them off, then you have no chance. If you impress the living daylights out of someone, chances are they will grovel at the chance to be in your presence

Like English is one of many languages we are given as humans - as a tool to interact with the world around us - so is fashion. It's a freakin' complicated one to learn, and while some excel naturally, others struggle to learn the little details. It's also open for different methods of translation there, and interpretation. You can make it up as you go along, and chances are someone will understand.

Meh, when I was a kid I had zero style. As in, I would wear little short baggy gym shorts sort of things - yellow, I think they were - and I didn't care if the pockets were hanging out. Old t-shirts, raggy things. Jandals (flip-flops). And that was the extent of it. Hair was everywhere too...hated brushing it. No wonder I hardly made friends with the other kids in the street :/

Nowadays I've learned the hard way what a bit of fashion sense can do. I started out as the 'fat asian dork'...nowadays I'm more aware of my figure and how to flatter it. My form-fitting shirts are designed to capitalise on what I have to offer - a tiny waist and major cleaveage, lol. I'm a casual, effervescent person by nature - echoed by the sneakers (or boots, before I destroyed them in mud at the WRC), jeans and strong coloured shirts (red, purple, blue...). I also have that cheeky, flirtacious side...I love to torment the boys, letting them know what they might just be able to have - hence the low-cut jeans and exposed cleaveage. A personal style choice of mine is my flared pants - not one pair of pants I own is wider at the knee than at the ankle! In short, my clothes say who I am - not interested in the very latest trends, a rebel by nature. Casual, playful...not afraid to be feminine and sexy, but wouldn't be caught dead in a skirt or dress or PINK because the tomboyish car-gal within wouldn't tolerate it for a second Don't expect any girliness out of my femininity. LOL.

I really do need to do some wardrobe updating though >__<;

Guys, you can learn from this. Learn what an item of clothing says...find something that's comfortable, looks good on you, and says what you want it to say. The site is right...you need to remember to reflect your age and maturity through how you dress, and that you actually give a flark about how you look. It IS important, hush! These little things say so much for who you are...not caring echoes that attitude through more than just looks

i like the casual sweet pants look it makes me feel comfortable and like an athletic champion

Casual sweat pants, the ultimate in comfortable.

And the ultimate in stamping 'PURE NERD' across you It doesn't say it, it SCREAMS it. Makes you look like you crawled out of your bedroom for the first time in 10 years. Seriously...sweat pants are suicide Avoid them if you intend to leave the house! Athletic champion? Definitely not. If you wanted that effect, you need a muscular, hairless chest and big tanned biceps exposed under a wifebeater

when I get a huge boner in sweet pants i point at the ladies then I smile cause i know im number 1

nothing says im into you more than a boner in sweetpants

Haha I'm certain that people think you're just creepy for that That's not cool.

hides from the fashion police

You get some nice cops out there though

AMEN!!

They'll have to pry a couple of holey old sweaters from my cold, dead, fingers as well. lol. and a pair of dorky looking sandals.
