I call it "Asshole English"!

-is banned for being a douche-

I want a vest. Go away Britain, Tolkien is dead now so you have nothing going for you save crumpets...mmm...crumpets. Actually. Fuck crumpets.

I need more ties as well...I HAVE ONE AND ONLY ONE. It is a nice little navy blue thing though and I am fond of it. But still.

I honestly want to ape Joseph Gordon Levitt's style. He looks fly as all shit.

I'll admit to being only vaguely aware of the guy at all, so I could be wrong...

How about buttoned wrists? What are the point of those?

Because shirts look better when they're tight around the wrist and not flopping around. And because one's hands are normally bigger than one's wrists, buttoned wrists are required.

They also make it easier to roll up sleeves.

(Tasteful, and not exceedingly flashy) cuff-links are nicer, I think.

I only use cufflinks for a couple of shirts (the nice ones for big meetings and the like), but I've been playing with the idea of removing the wrist buttons from a couple of further shirts in order to be able to use them more often, though.

But they seem to know where they are going, the ones who walk away from Omelas.

As a guy who only ever wears T shirts and Jeans,this conversation about Cuff links confuses and Frightens me.

Now, for my two cents. I have noticed a disturbing trend towards too tiny jeans that crush your balls. Now, being a fan of comfortable clothing that lets me move freely, this tendency towards thight jeans is bothersome, specially when I can't buy pants that don't make my voice lighter, let alone let me kick heads like I usually do.

Tiny jeans are terrible in my opinion too tongue I don't understand how people peel themselves in and out of them.

Be not afraid...

Personally I think skinny jeans are terrible no matter if it's a man or woman wearing them.

Why would you want to wear something that tight? It's just not comfortable at all.

My entire current wardrobe is based off the chap.

I guess I'll get caught up in the conversation...

Underwear: Yes, we probably should wear it. Other than that, some styles are very comfortable and can serve to emphasize certain aspects.

Body hair: A lot of teenagers nowadays are shaving all body hair. It's not very much my thing, but pubic hair is probably best kept trimmed.

Skinny jeans: I don't know. I don't like them, but my friend can't wear anything else, as he's too tiny to get any normal pants that fit and don't look weird as all get out. Skinny jeans fit him like normal jeans.

Also, I'm on the side of extending men's fashion to include more styles. And there is a difference between a kilt and a skirt. :P
