Good thing I'm married so I can wear whatever I goddamn well please.
Which usually means SF-approved high-waisted mid-grey trousers, blue shirt, and plaid jacket

Though not only with regards to contrived hipster girls, this is one of my favorite things in the world to do.

That takes the cake on a dry profession. What is a mathematical physicist doing on SF anyway?
Probably the same thing that everyone else on teh StyleForvm is: Conducting SRS BSNS about clothes.

It's a subject that certainly can be exceedingly interesting and even approachable to a non-technical audience. However, this does not mean that I am always inclined to present it in such a way. Especially for pretentious hipster audiences that want to think science is cool, then go off and explain about how their art is kind of like science and explores the possibilities in the world - even though I've probably already told them why said possibility is an impossibility. This is usually the point at which reality interjects upon whatever their particular fantasy is, the intriguing science guy just becomes an incomprehensible buzzkill, and their eyes just sort of glaze as they drift away. It's awesome.
Remind them of the higg's-bosson then. That should put the world into perspective.
This can be tricky, because usually they've read news articles about it and feel like they know something. There are however other tons of other cool things which are far less well known.

I wear them at my natural waist, and every time I unbutton my coat, I wait for friends to gawk (yes, they do) about why I have my trousers pulled up so high. Sighs. High-waisted trousers are not a lady-magnet. That much is certain. Well, you can't have your cake and eat it.

I've had women specifically compliment my trousers for being high waisted, but a lot of the women I know are exceptionally fashionable.
And I agree with Big A, all women like a well dressed man. Well dressed isn't the same as dressed up, so it's not as easy as that.
