Well not really but it would probably make me want to cry

Im sick of it, one of the most annoying things I see people my age do and they actually all think they are cool for doing it. Thinking they are being original or something when all of them just got the idea from the prison break guy when that douche was in the mariah carey video

I think it depends on the suit and the chucks. What about a casual linen or cord suit? It does make your feet seem kind of weak in relation to the formality of the rest of the outfit.

I like it. I think F2B had a fit with some too and it looked good. I like it because the entire outfit is nice and sharp but than the shoes present the idea that the wearer doesn't care that much. They would have to be decently broken it but not too dirty of course.

This is the dumbest **** I ever heard which is the problem with most of these dorks, trying too hard to look like they don't care ie the flip flop case falls under this umbrella.

Ok, so is it cool if I still do it with a tuxedo then?

How about boat shoes?

Seriously, F2B's suit looked good with non-dress shoes (not chucks) because it was a slightly crumpled up lanvin in a light colour made from what appears to be very casual fabric. It was clearly not meant to be worn with G&Gs. The above pictures are quintessentially pretentious.

I'm not sure there's anyone on this forum who cares more about what he looks like and what everyone thinks of him than F2B. Possible exception for socal.

I think the more alarming issue is... someone has pictures of Dr. Who stashed away on their hard drive!

wow... any particular reason for this (unprovoked) unnecessary hostility directed towards me? i've been pretty quiet on this forum for the past few months other than my regular WAYWT posting and the occasional comments in a thread here or there. I find your statement and attitude quite ridiculous as a matter of fact.
