Thoughts on attire from the older guys

Well at least the carburetor isn't out of a classic Monte Carlo or a pick up. That would be very hillybillyish . Is this carb a Rochester Quadrajet? Those things are pretty complicate but IMO the best street carb ever made.

Dude before you go insult people on the net like a tough guy make sure to understand the term. Also calling someone a hillbilly is like calling a black person the N word. You call yourself high class but you go around insulting people, thats hypocritical and dare I say hillbillish mannerism.

Anyways, all I see from you is childish behavior. You are the definition of a sheep in snake skin with nothing to contribute to the forum. Welcome to my block list.

Well i've got all the matching down. Shoes match belt, and belt buckle matches watch.

That's the traditional view, same as not wearing brown coloured shoes after 6 pm.

But you really don't need your shoes to match your belt, since they are so 'far' apart. Your belt should match your pants and your shoes should also match your pants, so indirectly they (belt+shoes) will match.

As a thumb of rule, I always dress for the job I want instead of dressing for the job I have. I always dress a notch better than my peers, and I put in an effort in maintaining my apperance. But be careful, if your office have a really relaxed attitude (shorts+flip-flops+tshirt), don't wear a suit - you'll stick out like a sore thumb.

Some genereall fashion tips I've picked up :

- When wearing a dress-pants or a suit, get some extra long sock, so your legs don't show when you sit down or cross your legs. And don't wear tennis socks.

- Stripes on stripes (ie. a striped shirt + striped tie) could work, but be careful that you don't end up looking like a friggin optic illusion.

- Variety is key. I have about 30+ different shirts for all occasions.

- Don't wear colours that 'pop', ie lime green, orange, bright pink. Wear something more subtle and classic.

I haven't read this entire post, so if my advice has already be stated here then I guess there's someone else on here that understands the importance of a NICE PAIR OF SHOES!

Its no secret that women love their shoes. They buy tons and tons of them. They hurt their feet, they're not comfy, they're expensive, and they still buy tons and tons of them!!!

So with all this work on their own shoes, what do you think is the first thing they notice on a man other than his looks? Bingo!

It amazes me how women know men's shoes better than most men!!! I'm not saying there is one particular brand of shoe or style of shoe that will win you all the ladies. But, your shoes should be clean, polished (if thats the type), and scuff/stain free.

I recommend having a reserve pair of polished dress shoes and casual tennis shoes that only are used on dates or events where you need to impress. Once the style start to change or get dated, rotate your old reserve pair into your everyday shoes, and find a new set of reserve shoes.

I also recommend having a woman who is knowledgable about shoes go with you. As we get older, we have a tendacy to stick with our tried and true tastes. Sometimes we need other people to give us a jolt in the arm to change things around. Namely our wardrobe.

A woman's touch isn't just relegated to just shoes. Have her do a complete hair to toe assessment. A joke a good gay friend told me is to ask for clothing advice from a gay man and not a woman. Because women will make you look nice, and respectable. A gay man will make you look fierce and desirable to both men AND women.

Anyone have links to some decent online clothes stores?? At the moment I'm in the jeans and t-shirt town and will be stuck here for at least 2 years. So it’s hard to get decent threads that aren’t run of the mill.
Probably looking towards more up market bar/club scene wear and some causal.

Omen, no offense but that sounds extremely superficial. It just clothes, you made it sound like some war stories lol. One question though, what's the difference between your work clothes and going out clothes? you obviously were slacks and button down shirts for work and going out. Is it the shoes and belt that is more stylish?

Actually no. I wear dikies (the real spelling gets ** out so I spelled it wrong) and a company shirt and tennis shoes. I work in a warehouse (retail) and unload and stock crap. I also look like everyone else in my dept. lol. Well the whole store looks alike but I get to wear black cause we get dirty.

And this means at work I look like the 16yr old guys and girls to. So at the party they got to see me outside of work.
