Ironworks fashion thread

You forgot the dead hooker and cocaine, followed by a call to police, but you're on the right track.

White tennis shoes and socks are fine to me for guys. When wearing shorts just omit the socks, again fine to me. Now wearing shorts with socks, especially black ones, is just hilarious to me. I guess fashion is one of those things that is a taste thing.

And judging from some new styles I've seen the past few years, like regarding jeans (posted here about it before), you are better off being old fashioned LOL.

When is the baggy pants that are falling down going to finally end as a trend for guys? I so much more preferred the tight jeans on men.

Okay then fashion question #3


Q3... What is the right level of Jewelry?

Too much and you look like some dodgy drug dealer or bling laden (sister of bin laden?) gangsters moll. To little and maybe the effect is just cheap. Advice and opinions please Ironworkers [img]graemlins/heee.gif[/img]

Got pretty ears? Wear nice earrings. Got elegant hands? Wear a ring, maybe two. Use it to emphasize the most beautiful parts of your body - but beware; you want attention on yourself, not the jewelry.
Jewelry is like flowers - expensive and useless. The perfect symbol of self-sacrifice. Perhaps the reason why women like it so much? I don't know. Rather, I don't care.

Nada of that. It's funny, these days jewelry is called blingbling and seems to be some kind of status symbol, while some 15 years ago, if you were wearing some bigass gold necklace or something, people would point and laugh at you and call you gipsyking or some such

How times have changed.

For guys, definitely - jeans that fall down to reveal undies is a terrible look. You don't see that many guys dressing like that these days though - only a specific type I think. It's not 'mainstream' fashion anyway

The recent jeans styles for chicks, however - very good. I will never ever wear a high-waisted pair of jeans (or any pants or skirt) again. Hipsters are so much more comfortable and they flatter every body type (unless you wear them too low and too tight with a short shirt and have an unflattering muffin-top, of course ).

I think the 'rule' is wear either conspicuous earrings or a necklace or a bracelet but not all at once. And apparently not a whole matching set because that's a bit 'nanna-ish'

I DESPISE baggy jeans...though tight jeans are also horrible for men, especially given the trend in undergarments...

Agrees with Aelia. Hipsters for women are a great look. Can't recall exactly when they came in, but they can stay as long as they want. Together with that funny hip band. (dunno the name but it's supposed to fix the plumber's crack phenomenom you get with hipsters [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] ) Every girl seems to be wearing this lately.

[Edit: Ooh, and boy-leg undies. Can you say sexy?]

High red striped socks, shiny black shoes, one pocket cargo pants, a large belt, big bow tie, checkered shirt, giant rimmed glasses, flat combover, pants must, i repeat, MUST come over your waist to look extra cool for the computers.

You must have a snort in your laugh, you must speak in a weird nerd voice (to attract the chicks) and spray some voodoo lynx all over you.

Tight jeans, on MEN horrible? I disagree [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Seriously, if you can pull it off, do it. That's my motto. *sniggers*

I do agree that chicken legs are very very very unfashionable, but baggy jeans are just, well, for people with not-so-flattering "behinds" and "front-bums".
