Do you take crap for being stylish? - Page 3

Most of my male friends wouldn't notice if I were wearing something stylish or not. If I showed up to a Football game in a suit, I might catch a little slack.

I don't take crap for any reason let alone something as paltry as how I dress.

I tend to ignore it.

I get that when I wear any shoes other than beat-up sneakers.

My girl always complains that I am impossible to shop for. She makes fun of me because I want all my shirts slim fitting.

It's ok though I give her crap for buying cheap stuff in bulk. I hate when she tries to justify her spending $100 and got 20 items, 70% of which ends up in a box in the attic or at goodwill, rather than me spending $100 on one thing.

That's different. that's a behavioral thing that she finds inconsiderate, because she also cares about appearances. that's a good thing. visionology, why don't you ask your girlfriend for specific items that aren't shirts? "Cashmere Scarf" is specific enough if she knows anything about your general preferences. I got into a minor spat with my mother about clothes the other day, going to have to lace up the gloves when I get home. Figuratively, of course. We fight bareknuckle.

She just got me a scarf which is cool and she got me some nice desert boots last year but I had to suggest everything. She just got me a couple pairs of pants from JCrew a couple days ago for xmas, I had to go with her and try them on though She wants a watch and workout clothes so thats not too bad for me to find. If she asked for a dress or just clothing it would be next to impossible because when I go with her to the stores she's picky enough when she is there, let alone when I'm by myself.

People are always gonna say something to you about something you are doing. It's all rather funny to me. Never got upset by anything anyone has said to me.


I hear the one about trying to compensate for having a bunch of sports cars. Even had girls not want to date me because they don't trust guys with sports cars. Their loss I don't need to deal with their hangups.

Then I hear I must be gay because of how decorated my place is and I am a single guy. Again I see how those making the comments live and I just have to laugh about it. One of the people that gives me the most grief about this eats off paper plates and plastic cups. HAHA

I don't get to much grief about how I dress. I don't mind constructive criticism at all though. I am still learning.

I don't get a lot of criticism; I tend to get more compliments. At a dance last Saturday night I got several compliments on looking good, a nice tie, interesting pocket square, always dressing well, etc. and then a guy complimented me on the texture of my dress shirt. I got an eye-roll from a woman when I responded that it was just a simple twill weave. I guess guys aren't supposed to display too much knowledge. Edit: Although I try to dress well, I also try to dress appropriately for the occasion. So my standard casual dress is jeans with a jacket, OCBD, chelsea boots, and no tie, for example (always with a pocket square, though).

You can wear pocket square with jeans?

I don't usually get crap for being stylish, but I will get some odd looks or comments if I compliment someone on their nice herringbone chesterfield, mention that they're wearing some great looking Half Brogues, or otherwise display my knowledge of clothing and style. Women often find it incredulous that I'm well versed and interested in style and clothing. Some either are shocked by this and think I'm some kind of teh ghey or they embrace it and ask me for opinions or what I think about certain brands to which I don't know a whole lot about women's clothes but can comment more on fabric/leather quality.

I think my friends and associates all have come to know me as the "stylish" one and never really razz me about it.

In my jacket pocket, sure. Linen seems to work best. Never tried hanging one out of my jeans, though.
