- minus that coat too.brains
- and the tie.brains
- maybe the coat without the tie.brains
- no scarf?Meeklo
- the only reason to wear that get-up is if it's soaked in gasoline and you're ready to set yourself ablaze.PonyBoy
- looks like every clown walking down the street in every hip section of chicago, btw... way to blend! :)PonyBoy
- hahahaMeeklo
- Eh, I don't know. I think this is OK. It doesn't have to get into the metrosexual look, but it's still clean.Jaline
- But not those shoes.Jaline
- Oh come on, those shoes are the best part!brains
- any other shoes make you look like a gino. Especially those leather square toes.brains
- Wait? This is metrosexual now? It's basically one or two steps from wearing a suit.. I don't get you people.brains
- It's not. To make it short, I would be into a guy who wore this :)Jaline
- I think minus the tie and maybe the coat. It's simple, clean, and classic.brains
- It is. I think some people here would prefer to be more casual and/or "not as clean". Whatever, it's their preference.Jaline
- True. True. Let them be. I'll let them be.brains
- it is metrosexualish.. now that you mention it.. but hey.. nothign wrong w that eitherMeeklo
- tie definitely staysdrgs
- i like the coat toograham

my hanes/fruit of the loom pocket t, levis 501's and addidas superstars are my uniform. The only thing that changes is the color of the shirt: white, black, and gray.
I would consider switching back to chuck t's if I could find the orginal off-white ones.
I will get a creeper to roll out from under my desk...and start carrying a wrench.
- The original off white ones are easy to find. I prefer the bright white ones.brains

Wear runners, but for gods sake pick a nice pair, then realise its just a job not a goddamn popularity contest.

I have truly never understood white sneakers. I see men in shoes sometimes that I have possible idea where one could actually purchase such a hideous monstrosity of something from a bygone era.
It's kind of like, "Where do old people buy those giant face shields that cover their eyeglasses and look like the front of a motorhome?" They get them somewhere, but where?
Where do men buy awful out of style white sneakers? Who makes them? And they are always so disconnected from other more popular styles from a particular shoe company. It'd be like if Porsche right now came out with the original VW Bug exactly as it was when it was invented.
- not everyone is a complete trend-whore mg ;)mrdobolina
- hah. there is a difference to have slick white ones compare to sport white ones.akrokdesign

I bought a new pair of runners last week, been looking for a decent pair for ages, saw two pairs puma and adidas that were designed by porshe and lamborghini and they were fucking hideous. And I mean, patchwork nasty random scraps of material from the floors of the sweatshop nasty. And they retailed for about €130 each.
Well you can just spank my ass and call me susan but Im not paying that for shit just cos its designed by a goddamn car manufacturer.

white shoes are great till you reach 25.. from there on..
it kinda feels strange..
if you can pull it off, go for it, why not.We are all lucky than on this job we are not forced to wear a tie.
That's all it matters. :)It's friday and I can't wait to see you my love..

I just bought white sneakers the other day and I feel funny. But it's probably more acceptable for females. And people under 25...
- But I'm not sure I would wear them outside. My feet look bigger, and I'm afraid of getting them dirty (but they are leather).Jaline
- In Dublin, people who wear white runners have an unusually high chance of being a chav/skanger.ian
- ... and thats regardless of age/sex.ian
- ... not that Im calling you a chav like. But, just giving you the facts as they stand.ian
- That's fine. It doesn't work that way around here though. Many people have white sneakers.Jaline
- Its either white runners or really ridiculously expensive nike air max. The more bubbles the better.ian
- yeah.. I used to love white shoes but now I put them on, and before I get on the door I have to take them off.. I'm over 25Meeklo
- 25, which is the official limit for wearing those.. hahahaMeeklo

Nothing wrong with white converse shoes. Other white shoes.. Questionable.
- I bought the Jack Purcell ones.
http://www.karmaloop…Jaline - Yeah, those are pretty nice. I much prefer the classics for me though. Purcells can be nice though.brains
- I figure they will be easier to clean. I won't be buying the canvas ones.Jaline
- Yeah, I just buy a new pair every few months.. It's the only way.brains
- I bought the Jack Purcell ones.

I don't understand what's left when people on here shoot down almost everything posted.. What do we have left? Does everyone around here walk around naked? Or just wear baggy jeans, bright sneakers and t-shirts?
- Say no to baggy jeans.Jaline
- read the last note in the first post on the second page of this thread.
^ up there :)Jaline - ^ all the way up there :)Jaline
- Agreed. Not tight jeans, but fitted. Much nicer.brains
- nevermind, you did.Jaline
- I did. I certainly did.brains
- kinda baggy jeans
enough to not get confused w an emo, that's allMeeklo

I have had at least one pair of these in my possession since the seventh grade.
- Those i'm not so fond of.brains
- I have ones like these, except inverse colours and for females :)Jaline
- Mine are getting really worn out though, which is why I need to go and buy some new ones.Jaline
- I'll let them pass.brains
- and they don't have enough support. I actually had to add some Dr Scholls or whatever to my pair.Jaline
- Mine look more like this:
http://ecx.images-am…
except the laces are black.Jaline - I remember some people in school actually liked me because I had Converse shoes. I didn't even know what they were.Jaline
- I like when women wear classic sneakers. It's a thing I got.mrdobolina
- it shows that they have a personal sense of style and are not trendy hooors.mrdobolina
- peteski0
yes!
- hedge0
For casual, I would go for something along these lines:
- Right.brains
- uh huh.Jaline
- Roger Moore?ian
- me too actually.OnesandZeros

These are mine, simple, plain, black. Black is important as white runner can get a person turned away from pubs and/or nightclubs.
+ jeans + tshirt or shirt

I had to make a reply to this. I'm 25 and for some reason, I am so attracted to a man wearing jeans and white sneaks. It just looks polished..like he's making an effort to look good without even trying. I like those adidas with the tan stripes. And black runners..lets just say when the black runners bust out you're showing your age right there.
- really?
thank God I'm married.
You couldn't pay me to wear ugly ass white sneakersmarychain - HAHA. :-)akrokdesign
- really?
