@..now it's just Aesop's Foibles.: Although you're right, the sleeve cap looks a little too-tight, I believe the pleating around the bust was intentional. At least, that was my operational assumption in rating it a qualified Good.
@..now it's just Aesop's Foibles.: yup. and whats up with the waist? I think the dress was supposed to be drapy but its hard to do drapy with big boobs (personal experience) and the extra boobage often pulls the rest of the fabric in a weird way.
You left out my father{s wardrobe staple: the spandex bike short. He wears them everywhere in summer. It creeped out all my friends so bad in high school.
My husband wears hiking shorts from REI all summer. Not too short, not too long, nice breathable material, and they don't look silly. But then again, we spend all summer hiking and fishing and mountain biking. Who knows, they might look silly if we lived in a city or something.
my sixty five year old father wears the same board shorts the surfer kids wear... slightly baggy, down to his knees, whatever the latest from huntington surf and sport may be. he thinks he's pretty rockin.
edit: also to note, he has never surfed a single day in his life... no no, these are the shorts he wears to work.
Also: footwear in the summer. I like flip-flops as much as the next guy, but when I need real shoes, everything seems too dark/bulky for the summer/to wear with shorts.
THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS. The bizarre world of men's shorts leaves me baffled every summer. Thank goodness most hipsters seem to have abandoned the trend of *shoooorrrttt* tennis shorts. I swore I would never date a man who wore shorts. And then my fiance walked into the living room, having cut off his tight jeans just below the knee. I swooned and ate my words.
ps: I think someone downthread coined the term manpris? that would apply here, and continue to be hilarious.
Um, take said Dickies. Cut the legs off slightly above the knee. Done. This is what my (admittedly treading the line of hipster but not to the extent of wearing skinny jeans or even jeans at all because he is broad-shouldered and muscular and large and those things don't work together) boyfriend does. It's casual, it's not denim, it's not khaki, it's not those fucking awful plaid seersucker things.
@SylvanSylph:Obviously I missed the last paragraph. Definitely the thing you'll feel most comfortable in is the thing most like the things you already are comfortable in.
