You can get a job wearing that to an interview, the job is in an office building, and the people you're competing with are wearing chinos to their interviews. So that leaves us with... mail room? Sandwich cart guy? Courier? Trying to pin this down.

Yeah, that's pretty much it.

Though the lifestyle of rocking velour sweatsuits and then going yachting later in Sperry's is lol worthy.

Was going to type out a response, doesn't warrant the effort. Suffice to say, your satirical generalizations of forum thought were marsupialed and you're coming off as a butthurt noob who got called out over a terrible WAYWT

No, I was just trying to say I can wear a pair of oatmeal/khaki colored sweats that fit well and make myself look presentable -- more so than people might believe, traditionally. The job interview in a sky-scraper was for posting effect and was not to be taken literally - so don't look deep into it.

I actually tried a real reply to your question but it gave me a headache and I just wrote the above^

butt hurt newb
(jet already called me butt hurt. it's a common forum term but i shouldnt be called butt hurt twice within 24 hours or I will assume you're jacking jet's insults) - But check, I am a confirmed, certified butt-hurt noob. Happens to the best of us Was going to type out a response, doesn't warrant the effort - Check, agreed. butthurt noob who got called out over a terrible WAYWT - Cannot check this. Link please to such claim. Here is a link to all of my SF postings for your convenience. Suffice to say, your satirical generalizations of forum thought were marsupialed - I had to skip over this pretentious jargon.

-polos
-hiking/work boots YES. This is a big one for me. I DESPISE hiking boots too. Like really, yeah, you're going to go "hiking" somewhere. Haha. Ridiculous.
-clarks This truly takes the cake imo. Clarks? DBs? How ******* pedestrian. Stupid ******* broke college kids with no money to buy $300+ white high tops.
Get the **** over yourselves.


even ghetto kids in my highschool could afford better shoes than clarks...

Also, sadly the norm on colleges is running shoes

But I remain with the opinion that the posterboy who stated he "despises" all of those items or "trends" as some call them is absurd and laughable.


I despise

I would never wear any of those items either; in fact, my "never wear" list is much more comprehensive.

No, you're giving me too much credit. I despise

sweats can actually look good, though
