Well, whatever floats yer boat...
Can't quite believe Ohno's writing something that is valid.
Get a tattoo
End the thread right there

I intend to drive round in it (badly) wearing camo trousers, pointy shoes and a north face body warmer, with sunglasses perched on top of my baseball cap, pumping out loud gangsta rap with the windows down - just to try and annoy as many people as possible. 🙂
That's the spirit! Get some big red Timmy Mallet glasses to complete the look.
Those Barbour Aston Martin jackets - 'hey there how you doing can you guess what car I drive?'
Trousers that are elasticated at the bottom of each leg, normally worn with some canvas shoe. Why oh why
My son has them trousers, I call them poo catchers!
Can understand tattoo's just not when you see people coveted in them - neck, hands etc
Oh and plugs
+1 tramp beards
+1 full on walking gear in completely unsuitable scenarios.
The middle-aged Barbour/belstaff crowd. Few years ago I could count the number of pubs/cafes on one hand that would let you in if you were wearing said 'brands'. Now you can't move an inch anywhere in cheshire without finding at least one family wearing sponsored by them
The rolled up immaculate jeans poncey shoes not wearing socks crowd.
Girls in carhart hats too!
My son has them trousers, I call them poo catchers!
In our household, hareem pants are known as shit-catchers.
Either way, both of these trousers are crimes against humanity. The jogging pant remodelling of late is a travesty making all those cool-kids look like they're off down the petrol station at 5am to buy a pint of milk.

Oh and ugh boots. Own a pair. Instant slow death sentence.
shave your head, then rub your face vigorously for as long as poss, should look a little like a bell end, a double chin would add to the effect....
Anyone who dresses as though they are in a different social class from me (in either direction).
There, thread summarised.

any one who worries about how they look........
Is that ^ an advert for some poncy aspirational "lifestyle" clothing company or a piss-take? - Hmmm...I'm unsure whether to laugh or shake my head in pity. The "henry" wi the dog looks mighty chuffed with himself, i hope he's carrying poo bags in his tailored wool coat, i expect his poo bags are a cut above my pocketfull of cheap black bags.
The irony of fashion advice from STW is genius.
Have a look round the average bike shop or trail centre car park and tell me we're in any position to comment.
I'm sure there are a lot of people who would consider riding a push bike around some woods as deeply uncool and something we should have grown out of a lot earlier.
Take up cycling, surely...... 😉
Common option 1: MAMIL
Alternative option: MAM in pre-pubescent/urban attire
Both options overpriced, but designed to satisfy OP. Why do we do it? Do we have no shame? 😉
[edit, sorry X-post with tinman. Same point really]
A few people seem to have mistaken this thread to be about [i]fashion[/i].
It is not, it's about [u][i]bellendery[/i].[/u]
Gettit?

You don't need a pooh bag when walking on land that been in your family for generations.
Barbour do a re-usable dog shit bag, in wax cotton, although i hear Burberry are launching a range of poodle pouches....
There's a chap (I was going to say "bloke", but nah, he's a chap) who brings his kid to our rugby club, dresses just like that pic (chocolate lab instead of a pointer).
He's not a bell end though. Just really really posh. And a bit thick.

inbred ?
I don't doubt it.
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.
And how old are you now ?
Well i am currently wearing some old craghoppers with grey paint on them, a plain white tee, an old berghaus fleece and and old pair of vans (not canvas) I dont know where that places me in the coolness stakes..... Oh and i have socks and pants on as well....
Blue and white static inducing 'sportswear' from those shops in out of town retail parks that smell of nylon and rubber.
So what are you wearing?
Me, next chino type shorts,marks and sparks short sleeve shirt and desert boots.
surely its how you 'flex' not what you look like 🙄
Has nobody mentioned anyone under 50 wearing flat caps yet? Add bushy beard for that 1950's yorkshire throwback look.
I know it's a bit lefty but does it really matter what folk wear? If some fat bloke wants to go out and buy a flash bike and tight lycra then fair play to him, I hope he enjoys it. Likewise if someone wants to 'buy' into an image then let them, what does it really matter? Dress head to toe in the most expensive outdoorsy gear you can find and never set foot out of Chelsea, it really doesn't matter does it?
What marks you out as a complete and utter bellend is behaving like a knob. Being rude, selfish or/and ignorant of others marks you out as a weapons grade helmet in my book. Want to look like a blend? Stand around talking loudly about how great you are, look down on others because they're different, don't say hello when someone says it to you, be rude. All of these things are a good indicator of the type of person you're dealing with.
I'd rather talk to someone in pointy shoes, his sisters jeans and thick rimmed glasses who is a decent person than I would someone who dresses 'correctly' (ie like everyone else) who acts like a tool.
Suit for work. The rest of the time, slim fit jeans, skate shoes, t-shirt. Dressed like this since I was on the terraces at Roker Park, then skate, snowboards and bikes took over. Wife says I should grow up, my daughter says I'm a cool dad!
Flange ... mind the door on your way out and take your considered and intelligent views with you
This is STW and your type isn't wanted, what ever you wear.
😆
I know it's a bit lefty but does it really matter what folk wear?
Annoyingly in many circumstances, yes it does matter.
piemonster : They are serious.......omygawd... i've been doing the country thing all wrong for years and so has my "oirish" mate who owns a 1200acre farm & shooting estate in Galloway, his lifestyle clothing range of dickies blue boilersuits and wellies is sartorially so far out of whack i'd better warn him for the next time the Southern fashionistas come up to shoot, and as for Ann (his partner) who walks their 5 dogs whilst wearing her combats and hiking boots.....well i dunno how she'll take it when i show her that pic above?. This is gonna be quite a shock for them.
There's going to be no easy way to break it to them but i guess they're gonna have to sell up and move, they're obviously not dressed nor do they have the correct self-satisfied smug demeanour for the country lifestyle.
Anyone want a country house?, bring your own wardrobe.

Flange is right, a total lack of manners is the easiest and quickest way to be a bellend
Anyone over the age of 20 wearing a band t shirt
Anyone wearing jeans and a t shirt
I actually like and dress like those country gent pix above
Flange ... mind the door on your way
😀 I just find it's easy to get caught in the trap of judging books by their covers - some of the nicest people I know dress in the clothes that most of the people here are deriding. Conversely I know of some people that wear some pretty nice stuff who I can't stand to be anywhere near.
There's a growing lack of tolerance in general that I think just results in a load of people walking around not talking to each other because they've already formed opinions.
I think you might be taking this thread too seriously
I know it's a bit lefty but does it really matter what folk wear?
Unfortunately it matters a lot.
the tramps in my town have epic tramp beards and wear expensive outdoors gear with piss-soaked shoes - how shall I judge them?
I think you might be taking this thread too seriously
Nope - it's an opinion. Everyone is entitled to them...
the guy near me who commutes on a uni cycle - i will smash his smug face in one day
Then IMO, I also think you are taking the thread a little to seriously. Its a bit of fun to mark the end of summer, nothing more! 😉
A lot of the fat bankers who come shooting round my area are dressed head to toe in 'Country Gent' attire. It's all I can do not to shout, 'Toot, toot, morning ratty', at them.
