for their 'casual' they'll downgrade it to a guy harvey t shirt and put a visor on. hahahahhahahah its so funny, because they travel in their packs and literally ALL look the same.

Sure fratty attire has a few quirks like visors and croakies, but by SF casual standards (MC at least), the casual dress is loads better than what you find in the countryLevis, a pearl snap or white t shirt, and a pair of rugged boots?. No torn up jeans, crappy cargo shorts, oversized t shirts, jerseys, and douchey aviators this sounds more inner city or suburban social reject than anything. Instead people wear OCBDs normally badly fitting, classic wayfarers how are wayfarers less douchey than aviators?, with khakis and clean shorts no hate here. The colors in my opinion are great and certainly no less egregious than what people in MC wear all of you people look the same. People also dress up far more often in coat and tie please teach your bros that wearing a CK coat that's two sizes too large doesn't make them look good, let it be to football games or monthly formals I can dig formals. The coats are much more tasteful than what you find than some ugly striped orphaned jacket I'll definitely grant that frat guys don't fuck this one up. If not the basic navy blazer then it's seersucker, Harris Tweed, checks, etc. Fraternities generally teach the "rules" during pledgeship as well, so most members of the southern ones realize that black suits are not acceptable, that captoes are the most conservative shoe, and that one should dress appropriately to restaurants. They somehow manage to avoid teaching them to stfu in the restaurants they dress up for Honestly, older fraternity men probably play a very large role in keeping Alden and Allen Edmond in business . Also, the people my age that regular a tailer are all in a fraternity. Like so many of my points, this entirely confirmation bias. It's just the next generation of trad, a term far more acceptable than "preppy" and "fratty" I've noticed. The next generation of Kennedys, Bushes, and many other admired figures dress like this. Don't get me wrong, trad sucks too, but it's normally better looking than frat attire. The one thing that frat guys get is how shorts are supposed to fit. MC and SW&D could both take a lesson there. Personally, I think it beats the hell out of wearing the same jeans for a year and not washing them or a white v neck shirt with everything. This is fucking stupid too

Most guys in frats at least have the balls to admit that they're tools though.

I go to A&M, spend a lot of time around UT, and my ex (ChiO) was at TCU If you're against trad then we'll probably have to agree to disagree, because whether or not we discuss what they wear in SMU, Annapolis, or Cape Cod, you'll probably be against them all to some vein. Trad looks better to the bystander probably because it looks more serious, less obnoxious, and is something these guys grow into. Agreed Also I find it strange to generalize "frat boys." You missed the confirmation bias joke Excuse me for assuming, but most independents who mix with Greeks stay in the same 2 or 3 fraternities, so you'll probably get the feel for those guys Very safe assumption. Mostly FIJI and Sigma Chi at TCU and UT. A&M kinda sucks as far as frats go, but I've spent some time around Sigma Chi and SAE . And the ones you choose to hang out with are probably more in line with what you like to find in friends. That's fine, but most generalizations are far more applicable on a fraternity by fraternity level rather than on the Greek system as a whole.

Edit: I don't quite know how this got to be me shitting on frats. What happens at frats happens anywhere that you get a lot of guys together. It happens with electricians, it happens with the dorm scene at A&M, it happens in the Corps, etc. The point I was making was that girls find different things attractive. There are a lot of guys playing way out of their coverage solely on the basis of them being in good fraternities. It was an example of something different that spreadz a girls legs other than being objectively attractive.

College kids won't dress perfectly, I just think it's better than graphic tee's and poorly fitted jeans. That's a general enough statement I think to be somewhat agreeable.

Though everyone here has brooks brothers blazers rather than CK...
