Dressing differently.

Post Reply New Topic

I think I just found the best excuse for wearing normal, unpretentious, comfortable clothing. Seriously, wearing normal clothes is now a fashion trend!

I think not giving a f**k about one's appearance is one of the most "punk" things a person can do, and I approve.

I'm with auntblabby and mrbigmouth.

I feel like I've mentioned my husband too much today so this is the last time I'll bring him up. The first time I met him, over 20 years ago, he looked like he had closed his eyes and randomly picked clothes items out from the closet. Not one item went with anything else. I was like, "Wow. Who IS this bold stranger?" That was what first intrigued me. Then he started saying hilarious inappropriate things and I was sold.

I understand what Alex and others are saying- you do need to blend in sometimes. It's good to get some magazines and have an outfit or two in case you need to fit in for a particular reason. But there's also something great about not fitting in.

I dressed appropriately at a military funeral once, while everybody else was dressed like they just stepped off the farm. strange sight, me in my blues brothers cheap black suit, everybody else lookin' like they were ready to do chores.

I wore and still wear suspenders/braces.

Folks thought I was mimicking Mork, but I had those bright ones before Mork and Mindy.

These days I wear more conservative ones, even with jeans.

Ties (even though they aren't work required) from classy to Sponge Bob Square Tie.

I use to follow the 'preppy'/neckbeard stereotype style of dress - diamond sweater vests, dress pants and dress shoes, etc.

I've since started to experiment with new styles.

I've always thought I was decently fashionably smart, as my normal mode of dress is popular here among Australian 'bro's'.

This is my typical style, very normal/popular here:

These are some new styles I'm thinking of:

My friends and I have always dressed completely different - no matches in style.

And, my goal has been to look as neutral and normal as possible, but still look attractive and stylish and to also stand-out a bit and look unique.

I'd definitely dress like this if I feel I could pull it off:

I'd love to look normal and not belonging to any stereotype or group (nerd, bro, jock, geek, etc.) but I feel 'Normcore' may look far too plain and ordinary.

Interestingly enough, I can easily pull off both a 'bro' and 'nerdy' look - both extreme opposites.
