And I bet you thought this was going to be a politics free shitshow. Hah! There's nothing that Trump, Gamergate, and male privilege can't accomplish! (Sticky mod post. /r/the_D gets a mention a few posts further down.)

The only type of people I know who say that their nice clothes aren't comfy are out-of-shape people. I've fallen asleep in my tailored (!) suits before because when everything fits you perfectly, nothing is uncomfortable. I don't understand this mindset of 'aesthetic vs practicality' because you can definitely have both.

Is this dude honestly trying to say that suits are as comfortable as basketball shorts and a t-shirt?

And these guys think being into video games is stupid.

they eat the hottest dudes, wear the coolest restaurants, and hang out with best clothes

Reddit is full of people who think we live in 1950, hence the constant fedora debates and the insistence that everyone wear suits at all times.

Maybe it was one of those suit pajamas

But he had to lie perfectly still so as to not rumple them.

Might be exaggerating, but they are right about the weird complaint people have of their "nice clothes" being uncomfortable. There's really no reason they should be actively making you uncomfortable unless you bought horribly fitting clothes.

That said basketball shorts are the comfiest shit

There's really no reason they should be actively making you uncomfortable unless you bought horribly fitting clothes.

Come wear a jacket and tie in DC in July/August, the only thing comfortable in 112F and 60%+ humidity is the cold embrace of death.

I always thought of it more as an in contrast kind of thing. I just don't like the feeling of long sleeved shirts, and I find wearing a tie extremely uncomfortable (I feel like I'm being strangled). Dress pants are pretty comfy though.

What kind of losers put this much thought into what they wear?

Nobody gives a fuck when I go to the store in my crusty jogging bottoms and stained graphic tee to pick up more Mountain Dew and Doritos.

The pizza guy doesn't care when I open the door in my stained underwear.

Losers.

I can't tell what type of satire this is, it works both ways. Bravo

It's about taking care of yourself and having standards. If you dress like a manchild, you shouldn't be surprised when the world treats you like one.

For example, I took a girl to Barcadia, which is really a more of an expensive Dorsia, and my date wore a silk gazar blouse with rhinestone cuff links by Louis Dell’Olio and a pair of embroidered velvet pants from Saks, crystal earrings by Wendy Gell for Anne Klein and gold sling-back pumps which is the bare minimum for being seen in public, but I suspect any semblance of good taste she has is purely accidental.

The suit I wear today is from Alan Flusser. It’s an eighties drape suit, which is an updated version of the thirties style. The favored version has extended natural shoulders, a full chest and a bladed back. The soft-rolled lapels should be about four inches wide with the peak finishing three quarters of the way across the shoulders. Properly used on double-breasted suits, peaked lapels are considered more elegant than notched ones. Low-slung pockets have a flapped double-besom design—above the flap there’s a slit trimmed on either side with a flat narrow strip of cloth. Four buttons form a low-slung square; above it, about where the lapels cross, there are two more buttons. The trousers are deeply pleated and cut full in order to continue the flow of the wide jacket. An extended waist is cut slightly higher in the front. Tabs make the suspenders fit well at the center back. The tie is a dotted silk design by Valentino Couture. The shoes are crocodile loafers by A. Testoni.

I do have standards.

I only buy the regular Mountain Dew. Not any of their gimmicky flavours. With the Doritos I make sure to grab the sweet chilli heat flavour because nothing makes my Dew taste better than that sweet sweet spice.

Likewise my graphic tees are always from shows, comics and manga I actually like, often ones that I liked before the mainstream got a hold of them.

I have a lot of standards.

Pretty sure this is satire. "Don't wear cargo shorts" and "white people can't pull off a gold chain" - I mean, c'mon. No way this is actual advice.

Obvious advice, yes, but we are talking about redditors.

Excuse me, my mom tells me I look dapper with my fedora and vest without a jacket, and as a redditor, I aim to exude class.

I should've posted a trigger warning. Hopefully they can find their way back to a safe space.

i mean, they're truly an oppressed class so i'm just like the racists i despise checkmate sjw's.

Edit: hijacking my own stickied comment because i'm a fascist mod who can put their own opinion at the top of the thread

/u/GraphicNovelty wew lad chill with the buzzwords and internet shadowboxing

MFA says cargo shorts are haram, but it's totally cool to look like this tool, or this weirdo. They vote shit like that to the top of the WAYWT posts all the time.

I feel like there's a huge disconnect on that sub between people who want to look good and people who want to look different. Get clothes that fit your body and it won't matter if they have pockets on the legs.

You obviously don't understand High Fashion.

Guess not.

If high fashion is looking like a tryhard attention whore then I'll just keep to my OCBD and boots.

MFA is obsessed with OCBDs tho

No one recognizes what is really up their craw - they're pissy about cargo shorts and polo shirts because that is what nerds and frat boys wear. Fashion is an alternate status hierarchy. It's envy masquerading as smugness.

The most fancily dressed people are always poor or insecure. People who don't need to prove anything are not ostentatious, and some will even deliberately hide their success.

It's not a personal attack against you and your shorts containing all the "cool" looking rocks you just found at the beach.

I love that "cool". How can a rock look "cool", what is it wearing?

Why would you pick up a rock when you could be in a nice suit eating sushi off a 19 y/o model.

/u/Iusedtobeonimgur knows where it's at.

I'm not sure if it's sarcasm or not, but yea I'd rather be eating sushi off a 19 y.o model than picking up shiny rocks while exploring mysterious beaches.

Urbanite scum

Ikr. Sue me bby

Suing people is for urbanites

I know. I walk everywhere with my top hat and cane. Good day, good sir

Tally-ho!

well fuck me i have one pair of dress shoes and they definitely look like the example photo.

Screw those guys. I'll wear my cargo shorts forever.
