I wear camo stuff all the time

I do refuse to wear DPM
DOES NOT COMPUTE!
And you do look a tit wearing it.
Correct..
a friend of mines son came home and was talking all street innit blud and wearing one of those cretin caps.
so he asked his son why he was talking like that when he lived in Fulham and went to a very good school?
he then whipped the precious gold sticker off his cap.
son went ballistic. 😆
this was a couple of years ago, he's now grown up and doesn't wear cretin hats or show off his underwear in public anymore. 🙄
Short sleeve shirts. They always look awful unless they're fitted really well.
Sun glasses pushed up into the hair. Wear the bloody things or don't.

So if I want to go into a dark shop on a sunny day, do I need to take my sunglasses home first ?
Or do I wear my sunnies in the dark shop and stumble around knocking into stuff.
Can ladies actually technically resemble bell-ends?
Sticky-up hair and stupid pointy shoes. Usually combined with a cocky strut and the job title "trainee estate agent".

I think (according to the bell-ends' rulez of not looking like a bell-end anyway), that you may then breach the wearing-sunglasses-indoors rule, in which case, it might be an idea to carry your case around with you into which you can insert your sunnies if you're headed indoors.
The case must not make an unsightly bulge in your front pocket though.

FTFY
Edit: Aw, I feel bad now, they've got to earn a living I guess. It's probably just the bell-ends in the industry, and the mobile phone industry, and vets that pretend they give a crap about tiddles but don't (you can actually see them counting insurance claims in their head), and NEW car salesmen. In fact give anyone a job that involves controlling something important to other people, and there's a disproportionately large amount of bell-ends.
I've never met a patronising librarian.

I would have loved to have seen that, the biggest new era no no alongside bending the peak.
Mine are all sticker less and with bent peaks. I love my cretin caps.

Oh, it's acceptable for a short period, for practical reasons. Maybe for checking a map, or perhaps while adjusting one's cravat in a mirror for example. What I object to is wearing them like that for a longer periods when it's not necessary. Especially if they are prominently branded by Jaguar, Armani etc.
Jaguar make sunglasses?
Would you like me to close the thread there?
Someone trying to speak "hip hop" with American accent ... problem is they are in GeordieLand 😆 They were so loud I thought they were going to start some sort of race riot ... 😆

I doubt very much they make them themselves though!
The whole of the West End of Glasgow's organic loving, coffee drinking in a bar on a Saturday night, spreading the Guardian across the whole ****ing bar, suit jacket and jean wearing, silly adopted accents, body warmer to Waitrose, walking around Byres road aimlessly with a baguette, christmas tree lights round their mirrors in the middle of summer **** faces.
(technically, i live in the west end, but no one who lives in my area would ever accept that. We are an island in the middle of a sea of wannabe Scottish Sloane Rangers).
Has no one suggested look at my ...jolly...red trousers yet?
I'd link but it's a bit sweary.
Oh blimey. I went into a pub at lunchtime ... on my own but with my bike. Some females were gawping at me, they stopped talking so can only assume they were admiring my 5:10's. 😆
Not forgetting the funny shorts or the knee-length socks. 😳 😆
I'm not really able to contribute a sartorial observation as such, which is rather surprising when you consider how gut wrenchingly cool I am..
I guess that we all live in glass houses on that front, without exception..
Pointy shoes aka clown shoes
Private number plate
'Sport socks' when riding a road bike

A thread about fashion on STW, fail.
The forum here is excellent and the quality of advice always great but no way will I be taking any fashion tips from here 😆
Reading this thread makes me think you all wear "blue harbour" from M&S.
Dear God.

Thank the lord it's not just me who realises how stupid those things look. Ooh, I must be in fashion in my office, so what is everyone wearing? Oh, shoes with big long pointy toes that look 3 sizes too big. Great. Must pop down to Jones's and get a pair of those babies. 😥
Attractive women who wear baggy jeans.
WooHoo!......I've finally achieved the lofty height of aspirational "bell-end" fashionista of STW - can i get a certificate or something?.
Age 41, pretty much only wear 3/4's such as Endura MT500's, Sugoi etc, i don't own any trousers but i do own a few pairs of Replay/Howies jeans....and a few pairs of Combats including a pair of the Bear Grylls craghopper trousers.
I only own trainers and a couple of pairs of hiking boots - never owned any shoes.
I wear Hoodies quite a lot, some of them are branded with such terms as "Milwaukee Bicycle Co" - i've never been to Milwaukee but i have bought plenty of bike stuff from BensCycles so i get away with wearing a Hoodie promoting the shop.
I have a few Gilets, one is a Rab Neutrino with half a dozen bits of small black duct tape attached in various places as i've ripped the pertex shell a few times and scattered fine down everywhere, also got an old Rohan down Gilet that i use up the garage in the wintertime as it's ****in cold up there and i've recently bought a cheap Quicksilver premium Gilet with primaloft insulation.
I like wearing my Endura Cuttle sunglasses whenever i'm out as the orange persimmon lens makes the world look rosy and warm on dull days.
I own a nice merino scarf that i use in the winter, with my Gilet, sometimes i may decide a merino buff is more suitable whilst wearing a long sleeved merino top, for the lower half i may favour combats or even my 3/4's and trainers, i have even wore a merino beanie and had my Endura glasses on at the same time - do i get extra "bell-end" points for this very fashionable ensemble?.
Tomorrow i shall try my hardest to dress to impress..........I'm surprised the girls aren't beating my door down....I've not even had a knock at it?.
My pet hate are the cyclist who have zip ties on there helmets in Oz to stop magpie attacks. I alway ask if they can get the world service on them.

Whether the first impression of someone is either positive or negative depending upon their attire, when they start to speak with a rising inflection, they are most certainly a complete dickhead.

Yes. It will carry the words '[b]My mum still buys my clothes and dresses me (and she thinks I'm still 12 years old)[/b]'
Cool, cheers TooTall. Can I have it in a comic sans typeface?, Oooo! and laminated please as I can then use it as a wipe down placemat for when im allowed my playdough.......I'm only allowed a 15 min session per day with playdough though as I like to eat it, yum-yum!.
There's a young guy often seen on my commute who's resurrected the 1980s gay fashion trend of wearing different coloured bandanas in your back pockets to advertise your sexual proclivities.
I *cough* [i]understand[/i] that the different colours correspond to particular activities, while the pocket in which it's worn indicates whether you prefer to participate, errr...actively or passively.
Now, I can see the practical utility of this kind of visual shorthand in a club, but on a commuter train at 8 am?
I don't care less what anyone, apart from my wife whose opinion I really rate, thinks about what I'm wearing. I still wear my cream baggy cargo trousers and skate shoes (none of this 661 malarkey) as that's what I used to wear BMXing. I can't stand wearing long sleeve shirts, tie or not. I don't think I actually own one. You'll never see me wearing what's in fashion because everyone looks the same.
I'll wear a (fitted) baseball cap until the day I die because I like them and have been wearing them since I was 12. I'll never have a fancy watch or a collection of cuff links or fancy English hand made shoes or fitted shirts or jeans. I'll be wearing surf and skate brands forever.
Thanks for making me happy about what I wear, I'm just glad I don't fit into your "cool" niche, thank you very much.
Sunglasses on the tube. You're underground, you don't need them.

Off topic maybe, but the most insightful post in this thread.

What? Beige action slacks, hoody and baseball cap?
Folk dripping in North Face & using walking poles when strutting about browsing the high street shops in Keswick / Windermere etc.
Reminds me of the scene on Dumb & Dumber when Harry & Lloyd get kitted out in Aspen after borrowing the money out of the briefcase !
Wear red spectacle frames.
Get a tattoo.
Have a pierced eybrow.
Big thick frame hipster glasses
But I won't be able to see properly if I take them off... 🙁
I saw one of those stupid new squashed Range Rovers on the M69 the other week, with a vanity plate, tinted windows, all done up with an "urban camo" paint job. I can only assume that the owner walked into the shop and asked for "something to make me look like a complete **** bellend."
Always carry a coffee cup to show how important and busy you are that you can't sit down and enjoy it.
Write sneery judgmental posts as if you are some kind of arbiter of style, on an Internet mountain bike forum?
Just bought a fancy new Range Rover have we grum? 😉
In white with blacked out windows and a personalised number plate, yup!
