the best thing about going to baylor is all the rich little girls running around dressed to a T in designer clothes. Makes a boy never wanna leave

please do NOT tuck your shirt in unless you absolutely have to

BZZT! Sometimes tucked in shirts look much better.

Quote:

also, do not curve the visor on your cap! leave it flat!

What are you nuts? Flat visors make you look like a 50 year old geek dad who doesn't know how to look normal.

Have a gentle curve, but not too much.

Quote:

please do NOT wear side-burns! they went out in the 70's!

They're BAAAACK

. I like my sideburns, and so do the ladies

Now we're taking fashion advice from nazis? Aren't they the ones who built buildings shaped like cubes w/o windows?

I guess this makes AS the Fashion Nazi.

Ted Striker · September 10, 2003, 01:56

Yeah but Nazis had some damn nice suits and uniforms.

I thought you were Finnish so instead of being an All-American boy wouldn't you be an All-Finnish boy?

Does this mean black leather is "In" this year?

Speer you tw@t

MikeH · September 10, 2003, 05:45

I wore a tie every day at school. It's not a problem now when I have to wear one with a suit to weddings or on the rare occasions I have to meet clients etc.

If you wear a suit without a tie you just look ridiculous.

Ecthy · September 10, 2003, 05:50

I'm afraid I do the opposite to every of Speer's fashion tips.

thing is, whne all boys look like that, why should girls actually bother?

It does? I heard it came from Croatian soldiers in or around the French Revolution who used to tie red scarves around their necks. When they entered Paris (don't ask me the details!) it became high fashion as the French copied it. Thus, from Hrvat (Croat) = cravate and Krawatte (in German).

As an aside, I think the name in Russian is galstuk, which sounds a lot like the Swedish halsduk.

Ecthy · September 10, 2003, 06:01

ties are silly, they're just a phallic symbol.

monolith94 · September 10, 2003, 10:41

Keeping sideburns short is one of the few things I agree with Speer on. I just avoid the whole visor thing altogether...

Q Classic · September 10, 2003, 10:45

spending too much time on fashion leaves one's mind vapid.

you're there to learn, not look hip.

Q Classic · September 10, 2003, 10:49

in any case, i wear loose tshirts and relaxed fit jeans. i bathe every day and comb my hair.

that's all i need to look presentable, and that's all i will ever do unless a situation requires more grooming--say, a formal event.

monolith94 · September 10, 2003, 11:37

"spending too much time on fashion leaves one's mind vapid.

Typical Uchicago ideology...

You guys have a reputation, you know...

Q Classic · September 10, 2003, 11:41

hey, it's all about the life of the mind.

you know why we have no school of engineering, or a perfomance music degree? it's too practical.

our computer science is geared more to research programming than real-world programming.

but really? looking good should not be a primary concern at all for anybody who fancies him/heself as a serious student.

at least, when they're not on dates or at some formal occasion.

Flat, limp and knotted? That ain't symbolic of my phallus.

Sometimes a razor-sharp silk tie is the only answer.

I've had side burns since the mid-1990's and I like them. Plus I see other men wearing them all the time. As long as they're not long chops then side burns can be very stylish and contribute to a man's style.

Amen. I am quite attached to my sidies...but it all depends on the impression I am trying to give. I don't do 'smart casual'...it is so 'careerist young graduate' at my age

Japher · September 10, 2003, 17:24

such a tiny phalic symbol

Albert Speer · September 10, 2003, 19:56

i got another tip... make sure your clothes match! If i'm wearing dark indigo dye blue/black jeans, I would wear a white shirt and white shoes or with blue jeans or khakis, a black shirt and black shoes... NEVER wear black shoes and white shirt or some bullshit like that... you can get away with having your shoes the same color as your pants but they got to be either the same color as your pants or your shirt, not an entirely different color... how boys can go around with blue jeans, a yellow shirt, and grey sneaks i got no idea... also, if you wear a hat, make sure your hat matches too... its tricky though cause is it like should your hat be the colour of your shirt or the colour of your pants?

Imran:

no gentle curve... flat is the style now and has been for a few years... i remember when we used to give our hats that gentle curve but that went out...

i looked among my scanned pictures for someone wearing a hat and found my boy d rocking a flat philies cap. it's below. and notice how his shirt matches his hat. thats what i'm talking about people!
