    Junk too big, I’m too fat, and it’s a douchy style when taken to the extreme of the photo. Wearing well fit clothes is good, but this is something else.

    I regularly have trouble finding pants where the crotch doesn’t crush things or make it look like I’m smuggling sausage, the waist is wide enough, and the legs don’t look like they’re parachutes. Usually settle for two of the three.

    Walking in with my pants rolled up to mid-calf and the knees busted out like I’ve been giving head at the local truck stop for the last three weeks. I’ve got a full head of hair, yet I insist on shaving everything but the crown. I absolutely cannot grow a beard, and I refuse to get a proper shave. I’m wearing a watch in the year 2025, purely to show off how much money I can throw at one of the only allowed men’s accessories. Neck. Tattoos. There’s a 50/50 chance I’m wearing socks.

    The entire cast of the Jersey Shore is lining up to get my number. Everyone else is staying at the distance necessary not to smell the patchouli.

    What’s this? The chess club? Robotics? They look like nerds. Twerps even. Real dorks.

    Give it about ten years and the popular style will pendulum back to fitted/tight clothing.

    Just like it was before the current baggy trend and after the previous baggy trend, which was preceded by another tight trend, which was preceded by another baggy trend, and so on and so on

      I wonder how much momentum there is in that pendulum?

      I think it started swinging (at least in America) in the 30’s. Between the scarcity of the depression and rationing during the war, fashions tended toward minimal. Then in the abundance of the 50’s you got big puffy poodle skirts and zoot suits because we finally had a surplus.

    Because I’m 55 years old and would—shockingly—even appear more of a buffoon than they?

    Seems like a fairly good reason to me.

      That moment when you have a pair of 36 and 44 waist shorts from the same company and both fit the same. Then you put on a 38 and they fall off your ass and a 40 is to tight. If there was more quality control in clothes I’d probably be a lot more apt to shop

    This is an example of more dollars than sense. They look terrible and paid good money for the privilege.

      More pounds than sense.

      I’m fairly certain that’s New Street All Bar One in Birmingham. This is typical attire for tossers going out day drinking in Brum.

      Also, these guys just look British. The short guy couldn’t look more aggressively British if he was wearing the Union Jack and invading countries for their tea.

      Also, I’m not sure these clothes cost too many pounds - lots of polyester there. No shade - I don’t buy expensive clothes myself either.
