When i go out to parties and see everybody, especially the white boy bro's also wearing snapbacks/gshocks/jordans, i am glad to know that that part of my life is over. now don't get it twisted, i am not trying to wearing a tie everyday of the week but along with learning to dress better, you step up your game in many facets of everyday life. I know when it comes to throwing on a suit, i have one of the best fitting ones in the room. doesn't mean i'm going to wear it in any occasion but the tips learned from that thread really are applicable to day to day wear too. Most days i find myself in a tshirt and jeans/chinos but how is me wearing sperrys trying to hard? i look at them as just plain casual shoes. To the "db dudes"rocking the red/blue/green joints with the matching bow tie, off yourself. you ruin it for the rest of us. that being said, dudes like tyga/chrisbrown/wiz are being emulated by most young people i know. if they wanna be tatted/snapbacked out, ima let that boy cook but that's for them.
Sometimes trying to be different comes off as just being corny rather it's just dressing better or dressing down.
This. Did dude up there just say he dresses better to be different? That's just as corny as any trend-hopper
if that makes sense to you, then your wardrobe is the least of your concern.

No, but if your only reason for dressing up is to be different, then you're doing it wrong...
This not aimed at you specifically, but people who say things like... "I just like to be different."... What about being you? If you're only dressing up in full tuxedo gear because everyone else wearing snapbacks and sneakers, then you sir are lame. You don't really like the DB look, but since no one is really doing it, you're gonna do it so you can stand out and gain attention because you "wanna be different" right?... I don't care if everyone on my campus wear sneakers and jeans, that is not going to stop me from wearing them because I don't care about being different. I'm just being me...
Live and let others live tho... i ain't really trippin'
God Bless.

if that makes sense to you, then your wardrobe is the least of your concern.reading is fundamental...so maybe dressing differently to 'stand out' should be the least of your concern...
clearly i said i am trying to be different from the rest of the regular white frat looking dudes but with a name like nattybro maybe you are upset because thats the life you are bout.

Lol I get %*$+ for occasionally wearing jeans and semi decent t shirt to class. At my uni, its strictly khaki/ basketball shorts with frat/sports tees. idk how people are consistently wearing ties to class. i would get laughed at if i wore a tie just to go to class. Im trying too hard when im throwing on jeans.

You jumped out the window because you felt a certain way about a question I posed, and now you are back tracking to a different issue...gotcha. You responded twice to me, and now you talking about get my post count up and you will listen?

If you're wearing a suit or even a tie somewhere that ain't a corporate job or a formal occasion you are definitely trying way too hard. Clubs are probably the exception to wearing a suit/tie when it isn't a formal occasion, and even then, it's straddling the line.

question? you call me corny for trying to not follow the masses. either you be different and be corny or trend hop and be corny. son, no sense is made in that logic but whatever. you dress how you want, i'll do me. never said i'm trying to stand out, just be my own man. do youOriginally Posted by NattyBro

You got it.

This dude said he wants to be different multiple times, and is now saying he just wanna be his own man. If that was the case that long $$@ paragraph explaining yourself would've been more along the lines of "I just like dressing that way". That's being your own man, doing you simply cause it's what you wanna do. Not a page long summary of how you reached this point

Why don't you just do you regardless of how many people do/don't look like you?

Dudes are preaching to Pinoy to be himself, yet everyone else is worried about what dude is doing. How about you guys take in your own advice and just worry about you wearing what makes you happy. The amount of negative responses makes me wonder why you guys put so much effort in downing the guy for doing what he wants, almost to the point that you come off as a hater .... just sayin

I think both looks work. But its very individualistic. you have to know what fits your bodily profile and wear items that fit properly. You can just adapt someone elses outfit to your frame and look, and think it will do it for you.

Meh.. I'm more knowledgeable than most people about clothing etc.. sometimes you just feel like wearing a fitted and a tee,though. I think the most important thing is situation dressing.

As someone who is actually into fashion, the dressing better thread is a joke. That dude pinoy723 makes that clear. His fits are nothing special along with 95% of the people that post in there. That thread is the same damn thing over and over. Where can I get xxx for cheap? Go back a couple pages and you see someone else has posted the same thing. Dudes need to look beyond GQ instead of being so narrow minded if they think they have the game on lock, they are just scratching the surface and don't know a damn thing about what they are talking about.

Bro you went out of your way to make a post in which you called dude corny and a trend hopper, you mad ... The part that hit home for you was when I mentioned people such as yourself so worried about what dude is wearing and the reasons why, don't know why it affects you... Just do you and that should be all that you are worried about, you come off like a hater when you go out of your way to attack people that had no concern with you. Makes me wonder what your issue is deep down inside homie
