Clothing style

Maybe you guys do this. I doubt we women do.

Still dress the same as in last post, mostly nice trousers/jeans and a t-shirt, similar to this:



Find it the most comfortable style to wear, t-shirt slightly longer because I like my arse covered.

Hey John, have you seen those commercials for a small line of sportwear that's like all pockets? You can carry your phone, your drink, your tablet, your pens, your snacks, your guns, your calculator, your pills, tickets to a Broadway show, your music device, your cigarettes (both tobacco & marihuana style), extra toilet paper, etc.

Personal Area Network clothing?



I love it!

But can it carry the kitchen sink?

You had me at toilet paper!

This line of pocket-wear is called the SCOTTeVEST.

You've got to love their slogan: "It's not Rocket Science, it's Pocket Science!"

Always some colorful shirt, it affects how you view things and how people approach you, at least I believe. It's simple: always chinos, always shoes, always short-sleeves, avoid black and use something colorful, this is for the summer. Something like this:



In winter it's flannel shirts w/ various patterns, thicker chinos, and the same Italian thick jacket my grandfather used, it's looks like the one Jason Mamoa used in some film, the condition is not as used, a little bit better.



And now that I'll be taking a new job in sales, I'll probably have to go shopping, I don't know, let's see, I think people in sales dress very simply, nothing colorful. I won't tuck my shirt, they can forget that.

Rather sexist. Obviously designed for a man. I mean, where am I gonna put my lipstick?

In any of the pockets, probably? None of the suggested items are exclusive to men.

Anyway, I haven't posted in here in almost a decade, so:

I like simple clothes. I don't really wear shirts with funny little bits of texts or graphics on them. Most of the ones I have with anything on them at all just have really simple images, or are commemorative (IE: I went to a place and bought a shirt from that place). Simple doesn't necessarily mean dull, though, as I really like bold color combinations and think a lot about what goes together well. But in terms of design, pretty minimal. I find I'm particularly drawn to variations on simple designs, like polo shirts with differently colored trim. Things like that.

Since losing weight, I definitely find form-fitting clothes more flattering (no big surprise there) and mostly wear those.

I’ve never met a woman who carries a pen in her jacket, but, whatever.

Odd, I know plenty. I also know plenty who proclaim their frustration that women's clothing doesn't have enough pockets.

Sure haven't ever thought of a pen as a gender-specific instrument! Anyway, lipstick is about the same size.

I am changing up my style this fall/winter. Introducing sweatshirts to the daily rotation.

I saw a neat documentary on why hats for men (once the standard) went out of fashion.

There were several factors, but probably the biggest was the evolution of the automobile (in many ways). They kept making them more streamlined and shorter (so that wearing a hat in them became difficult), but one interesting factor was that when men's hats were popular, people spent more time outdoors (in such situations as being in a big city and waiting for a cab, a trolley, a bus, a train, etc.).

People often didn't know how long they'd be exposed to the elements while waiting for transportation or while travelling, so in addition to hats, men often wore a suit, an overcoat and a raincoat as well - we've seen this in old movies where a guy will come in from outdoors, take off his hat, his raincoat, his overcoat and still have a three-piece suit on underneath. It was a matter of preparedness. They were well protected from the rain & insulated from cold.

When private car ownership was still a rarity, people dressed to endure whatever the weather threw at them. (I just don't know how they bore it in the summer - carrying all those coats around with their hats on!)

Nine years later and the part about the scrubs is still true, also the part about showering and changing into different pajamas on my days off. I hardly ever wear my concert tees anymore (most no longer fit )and it's summer so it's way too hot for jeans. These days if I'm at home I'm probably in a tank top and shorts. Once we hit winter it'll change to a tank top and pajama pants.

I like sun dresses

I thought the reason men stopped wearing hats was because Kennedy had hair lice and stopped wearing his hats for a couple weeks?

The pens are in our purses with the lipstick as well.
