What Are You Doing Right Now? (281 Viewers)

It's freaking underwear you're pretending to be actual clothes, dude.

Would it kill you to show a little self-respect and wear something with an actual collar now and then? A T-shirt is basically giving up. Put on the Crocs and sweatpants and eat at Applebees the rest of your life.

Ok then

I know in san francisco there are lots of homos to impress but I don't really wear a shirt much unless it's something a little more formal.

 

Buy on AliExpress.com

[ALC]

yeah, collars are a little too formal for everyday stuff.

 

[swag]

But dude... the slippery slope of t-shirts? An article of clothing designed as an undershirt?

Where do you draw the line of self-respect? Sweatpants? Going out in house slippers? Pajamas? Wearing nothing but thong underwear? Wearing a garbage bag?

 

[ZoSo]

I draw the line at potato sack. I told you shame is 1950s mentality.



But seriously, what kind of t-shirts are you talking about? Just a plain one or something nicer?

 

[ALC]

that's why i said cool t-shirts

a form fitting, nicely designed shirt with jeans/cords/etc and fresh kicks looks balling.

yeah, i think he's talking plain t-shirts

 

[swag]

I'm talking about any T-shirt. Some are more glorified than others and use child labor with more fingers than in other countries. But a T-shirt is still a T-shirt. It is the McDonald's hamburger of fashion. Sure, you can spend $100 with some designer logo on a double Big Mac, but it's still a fast food hamburger. It's like tricking out a Honda Civic when you could have bought a BMW.

The name "T-shirt" even signifies its overly simplistic fabrication: basically, two tubes of fabric with four holes.

 

[ALC]

so what, you think everyone should wear collared shirts everywhere?

 

[swag]

I think T-shirts are fine when I'm working under my car, playing a game of footie in the park, etc. But if I'm going out somewhere, yeah -- I don't want to look like I just got released from prison. Part of that is self-respect, and part of that is showing respect to the people around you who have to look at you.

For example, I don't get the mouth-breathers who walk into nice restaurants with a hot woman wearing ripped jeans and a T-shirt. There's a time in life where it's ok to socially dress like a 8-year-old school boy. But there's a time in life where you kind of act like an adult, or at least attempt to show the dignity of one.

If I'm going to go out somewhere nice, I would prefer to look the part. And if that means spending $100-200 on a decent get up, I sure as hell would rather by a well-designed shirt than a faux upgrade to something shot out of a cannon into the crowd as giveaways at sporting events.

 

[ALC]

Well yeah, going somewhere nice requires more formal wear. But throughout the day, wearing a t-shirt is totally acceptable.

 

[swag]

If I'm lounging around the house, sure. Can't wear your tuxedo all the time, even if you're James Bond.

So if you go down to the shops, supermarket or something you'll wear a shirt? old man fashion

IMO, I think this is one of the more revolting parts of modern culture. We've confused childish for child-like. So we have 30-year-old men with kids wearing their baseball caps backwards in cargo shorts and T-shirts when going out on the town... on their Razor scooter.

One of my lecturers said that. 'It's good to be child-like but not childish'.

More like bourgeois fashion as opposed to proletariat fashion.

im over 30 and always sport a tshirt: date, work parties, you name it lol it is who i am and dont see myself needing to stand on ceremony unless it is a really special occasion for someone i truly care for. Sartorial elegance only rarely comes at the expense of my comfort, i guess i am childish

non-sense. impracticality and complexity of clothing was a bourgeois invention to set themselves apart from the working class. But in the US, tshirt is just a staple i say, i always find it odd in my travels when i see people dressed up to go for a coffee.

I'm sure there are some, but then maybe they wouldn't be true bourgeois despite what they think...

The t-shirt is a staple in pretty much most parts of the world and also I find it odd and unnecessary to get dressed up for something that doesn't inherently require it. It's like... what's the point? So some people I never met before and probably will never speak to can make a different judgement of me.

Drinking tea during this time has become a habit, the big one at day care and the little one sleeping. Quality time.

You should really go to Paris . I brought my best clothes short of my suits, I was underdressed where ever we went. They're fucking awesome like that.
