Banana republic or Ambercromie and Fitch

[theproject]

3rd post.


I am 35 and kinda like both Banana Republic clothes and Ambercrombie but I really do think that people can tell when you are older and still triing to look cool....for women etc. I.e I think earrings look bad on men above 30 unless they are muscians are proffesional athletes.


Any suggestions on this would be great. Thanks

I think you solved your own issue. "I am 35... I really do think that people can tell when you are older and still triing to look cool..."

I'm 20 and i think i'm too old for Abercrombie. So you know what my answer is Also check out Perry Ellis, Kenneth Cole, etc.

Christ, I would want to beat your ass if I saw you walk down the street in A&F with your middle-age paunch, thinning hair, and salt-n-pepper hair. Talk about being immature! Stick with Banana Republic for casual wear, and Brooks Brothers or something like that for work. You are WAY off base, my friend. Abercrombie is NOT, NOT, NOT, for 30-somethings! People should stop wearing that **** after sophomore year of college!

how about just going to a ****ing store and buying clothes that don't make you look like a little boy.


you're 15 years older than me, you should know how to dress appropriately by now.

Just go with what makes "YOU" feel good. Don't put so much into what others "MAY" think about you.

Just wear button up and etc. formal stuff. And one piece of advice, don't think about what others might think of you. The truth is if you believe that you look good, other ppl also think that you look good.

What's the big deal? They're just colored t-shirts with the A&F logo on them. What's so hip and trendy about that?

I think this all depends on how you look. I'm mid-20s and I wear Abercrombie & Fitch. The thing is, I've never had anyone guess I'm any older than 21, so I look very young. If you look like an older man, then A&F might look a little bit strange (but then again, who the heck cares, wear what you like, don't let others tell you what you can and can't wear).

The thing that might make an older fella look strange are those really colorful t-shirts, but in general, if you look young but are old, you can pull it off.

Just wear whatever you want.

I suppose none of you know who the target audience for Abercrombie was 10 years ago. Back before the preppies were sporting it in high school and they were mass producing catalogs with the most homo-erotic pics you've ever cringed at. Well, in case you're dying to know, it was middle age to older men. I remember my Dad shopping there when I was 10 or 11 and I would go in there thinking "damn, this place is so Dillards-ish and I wouldn't be buried in these grandpa clothes. He still has some plain dress shirts from there from way back and I got to admit, the quality on them are damn good.

I hate Abercrombie. I've had a $50 gift certificate from there since February, and I can never find anything I could wear there without feeling queer. And if you're 35, why are you still so insecure with your self-identity to be asking other people what to wear?? Wear what you want to wear.

LOL!

No one else thinks it's funny that a guy named "Mr. Pink" is giving advice on insecurity with self identity issues?

I got a pair of those pants motherf*cker!!

I wore it once, and then sewed confederate and band patches on it.

I haven't seen too many queer looking clothes there. They sell some baggy stuff and some more form-fitting stuff. I don't even think gay guys shop more at A&F than they do at even higher end stores. I have a gay cousin (nobody in my family knows either, and he's like 40 years old and single, it's hilarious) who wears Kenneth Cole, Diesel jeans, and those types of clothes. A&F is more like high-priced (relatively speaking) clothes that are nice because they are pre-broken in, so very comfortable.

Anyways, I haven't seen the ripped up jeans there for a while. They do have ones with the bottom of the pant legs shredded a little, but that's the style now. Jeans are never out of style anyways, unless you're still wearing tapered leg jeans. Those will probably never come back in style because boot cut is way better.
