I wore a denim jacket today and got some grief from a couple of friends. They said that denim jackets were a product of the 80's and should not be worn today. I don't see a lot of people wearing them but hell. places like Abercrombie sell them. What do you think, are they outdated or do you think they're aq good style to go with?
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
Denim Blue Jean Jackets : Yes or No?
- Thread starter labyrinth
- Start date
"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

They're still fine as long as they aren't the ratty John Cougar Mellencamp or Bruce Springsteen kind from the 80's. In the fall definitely wear the darker colored jackets as apposed to the lighter washed ones. Vintage washes are good too. The only hardfast style rule is just not to wear them with jeans, that's very 80's.
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

they are cool so long as you dont wear them with jean pants. That is a fashion faux pas in my opinion. It's too simple and obvious to be fashionable plus it looks kind played out, kind of like matching jumpsuits are. But with the right combination of pants and a shirt, the jean jacket can work wonders. Ask a sales associate when you are shopping for stuff that makes you look good

You should ask some women.

its to my understanding that the 80s stuff are coming back.
they are selling jean skirts with the lacey trim at walmart for eight bucks.
all those long shirts that chicks used to wear with those leggins with lace at the bottom are being sold again.
therefore, if this is all coming back into style in ky, al, ga, fl, mi, in.... i am sure jean jackets are too.
personally i think jean jackets look weird with slacks, they were made to go with jeans.

I used to have a jean jacket. When I was 12.
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Denim jackets are casual only, so wear them with either jeans or khakis. PenKitten is right, they look wierd with anything dressy.
If you really want an all around jacket that looks good with jeans OR dress slacks, get a black leather blazer.

You can pull it off if you wear the right clothes with it. Just don't wear them with jeans that are anywhere NEAR the same shade of blue. best not to wear them with jeans period. also, get a denim jacket with some style to it, a little texture, some frayed edges, etc. Plain denim jackets look kinda bad.

From my observations.. not that I'm a fashion expert at all (I have chicks go shopping for clothes with me cause I always buy crap)
but blue jean jackets were a feature in broke back mountain weren't they? Don't wear one with blue jeans and a cowboy hat..haha

From what I've seen the black leather blazer had lived out it's life a while back. I don't even think Wiseguys wear them anymore. They're pretty much just pushed by the big box leather retailers.WaterTiger said:

denin jackets are extremely gay for men.
small, sleeveless denin jackets on women look extremely sexy as fvck. do yourself a favor and save some "dough ray me" and stop chasing the urban casual concept style, real men wear traditional permanent fashion. anybody that doesn't know what that means or interested in knowing what that means PM me.

all-black leather jackets are very 50s. They're kinda played out.Nighthawk said:
denim jackets work better on some people than others. I think if you look younger you can pull it off better. I sometimes wear one with a hoodie underneath. I've been told it's a good look on me.
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
