belt matches shoes. i do dress nicely for a straight. that is because i am gentleman. we should all aspire to wear something nicer than the typical american fatty with sweatpants at cinnabon. the typical american adult dresses like a 9 year old. look at photos of you grandfather. he looks great i bet. we should dress like those guys. in the 40s people looked skinny and nice all the time. no crocs in the 40's.
I admit to some nostalgia for times when men wore hats and raincoats and leather shoes. They are more stylish, more effective, and tragically hip. Bareheaded in the sun and rain with plastic track shoes and and a fagotty-ass umbrella is no way to go through life. Around 1971, when I and the rest of the world was completely hippied out, my dad observed that when he was a boy everybody wore a hat and you stared at someone wearing a beard. Today, he said, everybody is wearing a beard and you stare at someone with a hat.
dude, most people know what a proper uppity englishman wears. Funny but not shockingly I always felt the way you seem to but its not likely to happen. I guess we could do it one person at a time. tough wearing a sports coat and a hat to LSU games like they did in the past. Its just not practical. They were skinny because they had little choice. And not one of those pictures is anyone smiling. But they do look nice.
I suppose everyone was accustomed to the heat back then. Now people cant walk from their office to the car without 'hydrating'. The group of people who need hydrating less than anyone on the face of the planet are constantly hydrating. Personally I like the scorching earth of Louisiana but I dont think Ill be wearing a suit in it for a sporting event.
your dad probably looked magnificent like dean martin or don draper. i had to wear shorts in the city this summer, i hated myself but i didnt die of heat prostration. a gentleman never wears sneakers to the pub. wear the proper leather shoes and feel good about yourself. sweatpants in public is the most egregious offense. women with the victorias secret pink written on the ass, they have given up. its tragic.
i didnt mean to turn my pussy riot thread into the fashion thread. the point is that americans are fat and look stupid.
the frat kids look nice with their ties and blazers. its the one redeeming characteristic of fraternities.
Not sure I've ever been in a proper pub before but I have to agree with the rest of your statement......I think I just had a near like experience with Martin......
