Does anyone have some tips for this? I was thinking about leaving one button fly button undone, but is that enough? It's hard when you're just wearing a tshirt and jeans. How about an undone, dangling belt?

I'm afraid to post in this thread as I can't tell if you're kidding or serious...

I sometimes wear my watch over my pant legs. I also have a double-pronged belt, but I only fasten one prong.

Shoelaces untied, cuffed jeans, belt hanging loose, bottom shirt button undone, loose watch strap...
the point, as I understand it. is to wear nice stuff in a somewhat mushy way...

I think that I'm gonna start wearing two watches - left wrist normally, but right wrist over my t-shirt (up the arm).

I leave a crosscut saw hanging out of my left back packet for workwear sprezzatura. Not fussily; just kind of stuff it in there. Sometime I casually carry a sledgehammer.

I've considered leaving one corner of my bindle untied, but I'm afraid other trainhoppers might call me out (no hobo).
