POST YOUR MOST RECENT PIC!

Ah, I'm not too concerned. We're in different age groups, it's natural to disagree on style.

My sense of style has been pretty consistent throughout my life. And when i was in the 80's i didn't like those clothes. But yes agegroup has something to do with it. As I've noticed that people tend to latch on to and ape, visual references from the heyday of their parents.

Maybe there's something deeper going on in your comment that i'm unable to gauge. And i'm really as shallow and immutable as the next man. A ball bearing trapped in the rut of the age he was dropped into. Unable to see over the edge into the greater scheme of things. You never know.

My parents were more into 70s rock actually; I remember asking them about Gary Numan once when I was in my early teens and they had no clue.

I dunno where the 80s thing came from for me. I just love the pop music from that era and the post-punk fashion, I guess.

Another theory from psuedo doctor pat shot down in flames. heh. ;-] So you're actually rebelling rather than conforming.

Haha!

On another note, if I were pretty enough, I'd totally try to go for a David Sylvian look:

Curse my european-ness!

ala, your only tie.

wat?

ebbybaddy pist aff up in this hizzy !! chillenate kuz.

honestly though, what? not angry but it seems you've formed some opinion for no reason.

It's not an opinion, it's a light hearted dig that bears to relation to what i actually think. That is stated for the purpose of friendly ribbing. Kinda like Modey did to you the other day, in which ever thread that i can't remember.

The Pacific is nothing in comparison to the gulf between antipodean and north american senses of humour methinks.

Anyway, if someone likes you and has always been mostly friendly, a mate, says something unbelievable that is out of sorts. It is probably meant in the context of the first paragraph. Sure if you are still unsure, investigate why the person said such a thing. But don't immediately assume the worst.

The word is love.

I'm fine with jeans, but everyone in LA wears jeans all the time

everyone everywhere wears jeans all the time...

It's a plague.

And you know what zombies would be wearing then, jeans. (hard wearing for creatures that don't get much of a chance to change their wardrobe.)

Good jeans require limited washing. I don't see the downside there.

And with ties, I always thought their main use was to cover up the buttons underneath?

Maybe then, they need to move to novel button designs. To catch your fellows eye, in the workplace or out on that hot date. Satiate the need for display, whilst drawing attention away from the fact that you've got your buttons showing (crikey really !?)

I have a few shirts with nice buttons on them (black shirt with red buttons, black with white, blue with black, red with black)—actually I changed the buttons myself. I'm not sure about the original purpose of neck ties, but I fucking love them. Especially skinny ones.

I wore this one on monday. I think I've got a favourite here.

Really getting into those military style shirts too.

ZOLE

oh wow, TOTALLY didn't expect you to post ZOLE, holy crap you really fucking surprised me dude

I like modey's style -- I request a day-by-day Tie July update! I want to see all your combos. I have about 30 ties, but mine are more classic and preppy than yours.

Head over to http://tiejuly.tumblr.com/ for daily updates! Obviously, not all of the photos are of me, but see if you can guess, haha.

I've been through phases. Tie July has started it up again, after a long period of only ever wearing band t-shirts and cheap business trousers. It's just a bit of fun; I do it for myself and don't follow any current trends (at least, not to my knowledge).

that's what is trendy these days though, not following trends! Going against the grain. You rebel you. lol

i only ever wear a tie when someone dies.

Is the blog just from your workplace?

i wear skater jeans that hang halfway off my arse. what little arse i have, anyway...

edit: they're also blue. faded due to being nearly 10 years old, not due to pre-faded bullshit.

Yup, at the moment anyway!

it's kind of funny how many people i can offend by wearing something as simple as blue jeans and a black top

 

offend probably isn't the right word but anyway

 

I hope I'm not coming across as a suit and tie snob guy, because I wear a black t shirt and jeans about as often as Louis C.K.

yeah i didn't mean watmm
