Has no one suggested look at my …jolly…red trousers yet?

I’d link but it’s a bit sweary.

Jolly red trousers

can i get a certificate or something?.

Yes. It will carry the words ‘My mum still buys my clothes and dresses me (and she thinks I’m still 12 years old)‘

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* understand 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.

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.

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!

Well, whatever floats yer boat…

Can’t quite believe Ohno’s writing something that is valid.

Get a tattoo

End the thread right there

Clothes can be changed, skin can’t

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 fashion.

It is not, it’s about bellendery.

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 ?
