Clothing Items you just don't understand

[alandavidson]

All of them.


Okay, I understand the functionality of clothes, but when it's warm, you can find me in shorts and flip-flops, nothing more.

I am unable to understand the concept of ripped jeans they really annoy me. Why spend $100 and over on a damaged piece of clothing? Why not buy some jeans for $20 and then rip them yourself. uuuugggghhh, ripped jeans.

I don't understand thongs. I get it when someone is wearing a bikini or a short skirt, but what about when some one is wearing jeans? If you want to look like you aren't wearing underwear, don't wear underwear.

Wait what?...Ooooh You mean a G-String. Here in Australia, Thongs are footwear you wear out on the beach. I think the Brits call them Flip-flops.

Misinterpretations aside...Answering the OPs question. Anything spawned from the Fashion Channel. Seriously you'd think half the so called glamorous fashion designers did their intern-ship at a circus or a brothel. They sometimes have the Fashion Channel going at some nightclubs I occasion and while the eye candy is nice, I look at some of the creations and think, with the exception of Lady Gaga who the heck is going to walk into a store and buy this crap!

wait, why is it more understandable if theyre wearing a bikini or short skirt?

theres not really a logical reason for thongs, except to avoid panty lines if youre wearing leggings as pants (which you shouldnt be). they're as uncomfortable as they look and can lead to UTIs and rashes. but i guess someone decided that sexiness was equally proportionate to how much of your ass is hanging out, so here we are

I don't see this often, but when I see someone wearing a necktie with a t-shirt, I feel the urge to cringe with embarrassment. Why on earth would someone choose to wear one of those nooses with their casual clothes, or any time they didn't have to, for that matter? I suppose they just like the look of it, but personally, I think it looks silly. It's the lack of a collar, really. Ties look fine on shirts, with a collar to fold over the top, but on t-shirts, the tie looks very loose around the neck, which looks sloppy rather than suave or professional. Again, this is all just my personal aesthetic opinion, so to each their own.

I have a trouble understanding bras. All you're doing is making dudes think that boobs defy gravity. I understand if your titties are so big, that they're too heavy to hold up on your own without a bra, but maybe then you should consider working out your shoulder muscles or having those milkies reduced.

Same thing goes for "natural looking" make-up. If you're unhappy with how your face looks, perhaps you may consider getting those facial butters and whatnot to improve its skin.

Basically, anything that gives others a false image in their heads about how your naked body looks like. You liars.

I personally don't understand why more people don't dress up. I always thought it was fun to go out looking slightly odd or different, or even just what you see as beautiful. Like, for example, I've just ordered a new coat to wear out, and I'm going to love it:

Spoiler

But I guess that's more of a personal thing...really, I don't care what people wear. Their choice. I know I'm the one looking better, at the end of the day.

 

[Headdrivehardscrew]

OK.

Here goes.

I also don't get a good 90% of fingerless gloves, be they frilly, lacy, leathery or fluffy. I don't get homeboy extreme gear, it's neither practical nor does it make men look like reasonable human beings.

What really bothers me lately, though, is this.

W T H? Why? I love me a fluffy angora or cashmere jumper, but srsly? And how do you get stains out of it? Not at all? Do you just declare it to be 'love patina'? Yech.

 

[I-Protest-I]

Fingerless gloves come in handy at work, where I use a scanner and it the temperature goes below freezing a lot.

Some people wear thongs as bikini bottoms. If a woman was wearing a short skirt and didn't want panty lines, a thong would be the solution, being that not wearing underwear at all has it... complications... I have no idea how common UTIs or rashes are when wearing a thong, so I can't comment in that regard.

thongs as bikini bottoms never made sense to me. panty lines can generally be avoided with boy shorts

I'm actually kinda curious now to know what people in this thread actually dress like.

Dark long trousers (mostly jeans fabric, black or charcoal gray, sometimes dark blue jeans), colorful t-shirt (one of those: red, green, blue...), black shirt above it (mostly silk shirts tailored for me; cotton shirt or pullover if I go a little more casual).
In the summer, mostly short-sleeved black silk shirt above colorful t-shirt with some top buttons open... or simply one of my bright cotton short-sleeved shirts with knee-long khakis.

Don't judge me, it suits me pretty well up to now


I still don't get propped collars. Saw nobody post about them. Why would people wear several shirts over each other and then prop their collars up?
It is not like they're freezing and/or wearing a trench coat...

 

[Gordon_4_v1legacy]

Hoodies and All baseball caps in existence. New Era or whatever, they all look incredibly stupid in any form and must all be burned. I wear fedoras. I don't wear Hoodies, I don't have a neckbeard, and I choose clothing items that specifically go with them. I don't understand all the hate for them. I didn't even know there was a hat trend for MLP fans until two minutes ago.

This alone makes Fedoras cool.

Yeah, I am talking about the people who wear them for the sake of having chains on their pants.

Things like pocket watches or keys, they are fine, but chains for the sake of it...makes me confused.

Well what else am I going to strangle my victims with whilst looking totally rad?

Hold it, let's try again.

How am I supposed to communicate to the world that I am a huge douchebag who thinks himself tough as nails

Damn, one more time:
Is there another way to look stupid whilst conveniently being stopped dead by obstacles such as protruding nails?

Yeah, let's go with that.


I do have one though I use it to avoid losing my swiss-army knife.

Wearing bras has generally nothing to do with deceiving men and has everything to do with comfort and support. Not wearing a bra can feel pretty damn uncomfortable even if you don't have a particularly large bust and 'working shoulder muscles' would not really provide that much help. I'm not even going to touch the breast reduction comment.

Er...they are there for support? Sure, padded bras and all (which is why the original "bra burning feminists" were burning specifically padded bras and stuff like that), but simple supporting stuff...no.

...

As mentioned, fake pockets...no. Pants should have lots of pockets.

 

[phantasmalWordsmith]

Ear lobe stretchers, piercing in places besides the ear lobes, onesies and...

Hoodies. Too overdone. Too common. Boring. Why bother?

 

[ABLb0y]

Onesies. Really? We're taking fashion advice from babies now?
I'm serious, no-one over the age of three should wear one.
