jules Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 plaid has always been in. for dudes button down shirts, it is either stripes or plaid. otherwise you have a solid color shirt. not a lot of wiggle room. i do not get the skinny jeans thing though. we have a young intern here, his jeans are so skin tight it is hilarious. plus he tucks them into his retro 80s nike high tops for bonus points. he is a nice guy though, but looks like the poster boy for what is hipster style right now. he wont be happy looking at his photos 10 years from now.

baph Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Yeah, basically. Your business plaid would typically be a little less bold, or like a tattersall check or something, but yeah. And plaid as casual attire was in in the 90s, remember. We're probably about to reach that nostalgia critical mass point, incidentally, and say goodbye to the 80s hipster revival.

Guest sirch Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Men who work labor jobs have been wearing them for decades. I think it's more these little spindly armed nerds who grow out beards and wear flannel to try and look manly. they've become more of a fashionable, common (to see) thing over here recently. and not the laboring/flannel/worker type.., the colorful/designer/home stores type.

jules Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 saying goodbye to the 80s revival would make me very happy. that was the one decade i thought would never make a comeback. i think it has a while left though. otherwise we would be back in the 90s and then we will have pretty much caught up with ourself. i predict a late 80's aesthetic on the horizon.

Guest boo Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 someone gave me a small, grey calvin klein shirt from TK MAXX that i'm pretty sure he nicked. it's just a wee bit too short so my belt shows. the jeans i'm wearing are extremely faded, verging on being white and exploded at the knees when i did a job that required casual clothes and lots of squatting. anyway, i look like a hipster right now... hipster dudes have been checking out my clothes. they're not gay because they all seem to have girlfriends. you can wear any old shit it this area and people will assume you're expressing your individuality, and then look horrified when you chuck 4 packs of salami in your basket. hmmmmmm, they all have girlfriends. also, hipster fashion seems to have been the same for like 10 years now???

Guest Mirezzi Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 No offense whatsoever to the folks who dig it, but I detest that shit. I have no interest in seeing the shape, contour, and texture of a man's legs - especially when stuffed into puketastic shades of blue/purple jeans.

BCM Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 also, hipster fashion seems to have been the same for like 10 years now??? i think it's varied slightly but the core elements have remained - plaid shirts and skinny jeans being two of the core elements. i don't think i'm a hipster though...am i? maybe i am... i don't know what the fuck is going on in my life anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mirezzi Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I think skinny jeans started as quasi-hipster / skater wear, but soon branched out. Nonetheless, I dig the shirt and the shoes, BCM, so I'd still hit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's exactly where I was trying to direct my fucking vitriol re: skinny jeans. Christ, it's hideous. Even without the bullshit fake "wear" the fit is ridiculous, approximately on the level that wearing Roy Batty's spandex bike shorts in any sort of non-gymnasium/ non-cycling setting would be.
