preppy vs athletic

[let it enfold you]

just wondering what u guys think about these two styles of dress, for instance ive tried dressing preppy and i look really good in it but it feels somewhat uncomfortable and unnatural as compared to just sporting some nike shorts/shoes and a tshirt i feel much more comfortable/natural although sometimes it seems like im under-dressing compared to the other guys around.

I do a combination. I wear nice button-up collar shirts & I have a few pairs of some nice khakis. Mostly I wear vintage-worn jeans. I don't ever wear dress shoes, though--always Nike running shoes.

Don't worry about choosing a "theme." Wear what you like & have your own style. I don't ever wear just plain t-shirts, though. Except my undershirts--which are just plain white tshirts--which I'll wear around the house or when I go to the gym.

Of those two I'd go athletic, but neither are really my style.

Be whatever you look good in. I couldn't wear taht Abercrombie ****. I hate it.

I wear EcKo and Nike.

That urban-sporty look is for younger men IMO.

But you can't dress like that all the time.At school I like to under-dress though so I feel you.

Last year I wore dress shoes, khaki pants, button up shirts, and all the other stuff.

This year I go with a combination of sporty (my baseball shirts) and khaki pants.

In truth I wear whatever I feel like wearing.

I wouldn't say dressing preppy feels unnatural.

Birkenstock clogs are like walking on clouds... they're incredible

clogs? hahaha

jeans (azzures, girbauds), khakis (****ies, dockers), occasional corduroys

tees (4 for $20), polos (polo rl of course), hoodies, the occasional buttonup

nikes (forces jordans vandals), new balances, timberlands

accessories include fitted hats, watches, sunglasses, whatever catches my eye in the store

and a fat blunt in my mouth

wear flannel, it's alpha

Paisley. It's primal. It's the rage. It's masculine.
