Ugly plain black top from NEXT. Jeans. Trainers.
What you have to understand is this: my unspeakably drab appearance today is a penance for the unpopular sartorial experiment I conducted last Friday. I wanted to find out if I could take something as bleakly, depressingly corporate as a tie and discover if it was possible to transform it into something casual, even stylish! So I wore a tie without a shirt, without any kind of collar, which gave the garment a choker effect. Unfortunately, the general consensus, I think, was: you look a tit. It was assumed, I think, that I had forgotten to wear a shirt, that I had, perhaps, in the darkness of the early hours, been incapable of discerning between casual- and professional-wear and had made a humiliating mistake. This Friday, therefore, I'm back to looking bleakly, depressingly (yet safely) corporate.

In my book
Plimsoll = rubber sole, canvas upper, such as Green Flash, Converse, school gym numbers
Trainer = rubber sole, leather upper, used for more vigorous activity or 'hanging around'.
Sneaker = unfortunate American term for either of the above.

presumably though, this is a slightly inappropriate scraggy tie, with an ill fitting shirt, rather than say, a decent roomy M&S white cotton shirt and a fat crisp silk tie in gold or metallic blue.

- grey trousers - stripey top (an old one with narrow cream, grey and red stripes not one of these Bananarama-esque large striped, saggy, shapeless objects starting to appear in the shops) - black v-neck jumper - black underwear as usual
Exciting sales purchases:
- green cord hipsters. Unfortunately they really really hang off my hips, to the point where half my crack is revealed upon bending over. But they were only £15
- pretty red silk top- from one of Debenhams' Designers.
- earrings to match the new top
- pretty burgundy top with glittery straps - half price from Monsoon
- pyjama bottoms - £5 from the New Look jumble sale
- green vest top - £3 also by New Look
- warm pyjamas and slinky pyjamas- half price in La Senza
Yet to purchase:
- burgundy earrings to go with new top - belt to keep hipsters up - new bag - new work shoes (seemingly impossible to find)

Posted by squeegy (Member # 136) on :
I am wearing a drab denim coloured shirt that I don't like very much at all and some black trousers. This is due to the fact that the washing machine flooded the laundry last night and rather than mop it up I just chucked the washing in the drier and hoped the water on the floor would dry itself overnight. Then this morning I wanted to iron my nice new white shirt but there was still a few centimeters of water on the floor. It was really nerve-wracking turning the iron on, like that bit in fight club. I wasn't electrocuted but the point is that the iron tripped the power and I couldn't wear the clothes I wanted to. And then Misc goes and starts a W.A.Y.W50% OFF! thread.
Thanks Misc! Posted by Thorn Davis (Member # 65) on :
Neckerchiefs? Cravats? Are you people fucking high or something? If you're a man, the only things you should ever put around your neck are a tie, and - eventually - a noose.
Anything else is out of bounds. Neckerchiefs will make you like gay and/or like a child pretending to be a cowboy. Cravats just make you look like a ponce, and a necklace makes you look like a retarded mouthbreathing thug.

I think that's the brooch, rather than the tie, that gives the Dick Effect. "A right ponce", as non-cravat men might say.
Whether ties are good or evil depends on the tie. Big fat shiny knot wound ten times around, so length of tie is scarcely greater than its girth = knob-jockey salesman. Slim, neat tie with crisp shirt and swotty-looking tanktop, as in London's pal = man about town.

It's bad form to make judgements about people based on their clothing. I'm sure that, apart from VOP, footballers, and the members of Blue, there are plenty of alright men wearing the blazerjeans thing. I don't like the way I make these assumptions, but they still come to me.

indie people are generally happy to exist on the fringe though, and build their own hierachies and cultural economies, rather than just copy the people off of Pop Idol. At least there's some counter-culture in there, even if it's at the expense of conforming to an arguably stricter doctrine. Most indie people would probably admit that they are still a failure, unlike people off The Salon and Popbitch, who give the impression of genuinely believing that they've transcended something by becoming immersed in the culture of mass media promotion. This is just my impression though, and is tainted by my own desire to live in a vacuous coke-addled world of money and idle idiocy.

Sorry, but they're all sneakers to me. Though it makes sense that you'd wear trainers for athletic activity, ie to train, but I'm not sure how one would plim in one's plimsolls. What's irritating to me on this side of the world is the tendency to call sneakers (a perfectly good though generic term, in my book) things like basketball shoes or running shoes or even perhaps more loathably cross-trainers, which strikes me as the sort of footwear one might have to endure on the journey between straight and Dame Edna.

There's nothing loathesome about that - they're different types of show for different purposes. Running shoes, basketball shoes and cross training shoes are all different because the types of exercise you do in them are different. If you go running every morning in a pair of Converse All Stars you'll start to notice that your shins, knees and hips are actually made out of shards of shattered bone. So you need to know that what you're using really is a running shoe, and not something completely unsuited to the purpose.
