I would appear to have failed the stw bellend test miserably; jeans, t shirts, short sleeved shirts, skate shoes, hoodies being my apparel of choice. I'm crushed ๐Ÿ™

So, for all you budding Gok wans, what should be regarded as the epitome of sartorial elegance and coolness?

the trick is confidence and purpose, hoodie and skate shoes can work ๐Ÿ˜‰

You can dress someone in the best suits and they will still look like a trapped ape. As for the number of people that reckon just wearing a dinner jacket makes you look like bond (in the dark, half squint after twelvety pints of Vodka Martini).

Simply nothing your mother would buy...

In avoiding bell-endery, I would sooner take stw advice than anything from Gok wan.

I think when you get to a certain age you have to accept that in your face designer labels are a no-no. Way too many people seem to miss that one.

I am not sure if it was right to wear that clobber at any age! I am also fairly sure that when they were younger those people probably wore stuff from C&A.

Pigface, you describe my friend perfectly. He failed the test, despite all the names being written on said t-shirt.

Basically read the full thread of what makes you a bellend, do the exact opposite of all the advice and you are sorted! Not sure that leaves much though with all the contradictions and I think all that is left is onesies, ski suits and wetsuits. At least you can wear them with pride knowing you are the height of fashion and defo not a bellend. Sorted.

You are definitely a bad example, you should be wearing a helmet, it's the law ๐Ÿ˜‰ May I suggest a met parachute as a stylish choice.

Wear your bell-endery with pride brother. I do. Judging by the remarks on the other thread, I'm well into the swollen, bulbous variety. I don't care. So there! ๐Ÿ˜€

Indeed, especially don't take style advice from people who post about 200 times a day and answer first on every thread!

Anyone offering fashion advice should post a picture of themselves looking dapper so we can see their qualifications.

I'm the one on the left...

I once did post a photo of myself.

People's "eyes where offended"

Best not to dig it up.

What??? Now you tell me Bongos aren't cool either, I wish you had told me that when you sold it to me ๐Ÿ™

Does the fact that its a Freda, and therefore a niche bongo, add any cool points at all โ“

Sartorial elegance you say.... You need tweed, or maybe a nice, subtle navy pinstripe. Brown brogues for the tweed, black Oxfords for the pinstripe.

Avoid cycling clothes is my advice if you don't want to look like a bellend.
In fact, avoid riding about on a bicycle.

Luckily I've long since accepted I am the least fashionable person on the planet and so can do both these things.

Embrace your bellend, as I embrace mine.

Otherwise, custom suit FTW (once you hit forty, which I assume you have, if you post on here).
