How right you are, going out in curlers is just so naff!

 

[Bugguy]

Speedo - only when I was on the high school swim team. I threaten my family with it if they misbehave on vacation. TMI as my daughter says. Scary image.

And maybe a male pedicure with black nail polish.

 

[MisterCairo]

I just swallowed vomit...

You get the idea...

 

[MisterCairo]

the shaved head tough guy look and the 3 day hairy face ( beard) has become more than a little dated.

I shave my head because of my baldness pattern, certainly not to look "tough". I do not do the three-day beard thing though, unless I'm camping and that's just because...

I do not dress like I did when I was twelve years old; shorts, tennis shoes, t-shirt, and a baseball cap. Unless, perhaps, if I am actually playing softball on the 4th of July. That said, I do see a lot of guys well over age 30 who think this is appropriate dress for going shopping, getting their hair cut, going to the theatre, even dining in a restaurant. It mystifies me.

Very common in the North of England. I once left Liverpool (the best thing about that place is getting to leave) on a train on a Friday, early evening. It was full of young women in those track suits that look like glorified pyjamas with words on the bum, Ugg boots, and hairl ike that (with even bigger curlers). Totally brazen. they spent the journey trowelling on their make up, then just before we got into London, they went to the toilets andchanged into their clubbing clothes. I gather the 6am train the next morning would be full of all of them on their way back home.... The most mausing thing about it all is the clubs they go to all that way don't even have live music: it's all records they could listen to someone play at home for a fraction of the cost and effort!

Camo anywhere outside of a deer stand or a duck blind.

I remember when I was six years old desperately wanting a camo jacket, and (being a child of the Troubles Generation in Northern Ireland) it being verboten. Eventually bought one in my early 20s in Copenhagen; short-sleeved, tropical wear thing, a sort of shirt-jacket. Wore it for a while pretending to be Fidel castro til the nocelty wore off, not owned anything camo since....

oh.... I *did*, when I was nineteen, have a Desert-storm era combat jacket/shirt in NATO two-tone desert camo, which I overdyed blue. That was quite cool at the time, though the cut was not a flattering one, even on the bean pole I was then, as the chest pockets were saggy and looked like odd-shaped breasts.

And maybe a male pedicure with black nail polish.

I regularly do my toenails (sexism in the workplace is not dead: it woul be a problem if I came to work with my nails done! ). Did once forget I hat them done when I visited my parents and hat to talk my way out of that one. They're..... not very open minded on some fronts.

Yeah, I find it funny when sometimeas people assume it's a way of 'looking tough', when it's just to hide how much I balded so early. I've only been mistsken for being a skinhead once, though if I go anywhere in black tie I have to be careful not to stand near the door all night.

There was a time when kids were dressed as minimes of their dads. Now the dads dress like maximes of their kids.

Oh, I don't know. I think many women look cute wearing curlers. It was quite common for women to wear their curlers when out shopping at the PX or commissary when I was a kid in the 1970s. Doesn't faze me when I see someone with curlers in town, or if someone is shopping in their pyjamas.

 

[scottyrocks]

Shirts with button down collars,hate them!

I was thinking about this. I find button-down collars especially useful when worn under my shawl-neck cardigans. Everything stays in place and doesn't get all wonky, especially with the top button open. I don't have this issue with any other style un-collared sweater, or sport jacket or suit.

Yes, but not nearly as exciting.

I remember when I was six years old desperately wanting a camo jacket, and (being a child of the Troubles Generation in Northern Ireland) it being verboten.

I didn't have much of anything when I was a kid, but I was fortunate enough to have an uncle who gave me one of his A65 jackets after he had gotten out of the service. It was olive drab, not camo, but I was thrilled with it.

I couldn't wear it when I got it (late '60s) because it was huge on me, but once I hit about 14 I wore it pretty much everywhere. That was also the time that the TV show M*A*S*H became popular, so that spurred me to wear it, even if it was still a little too big for me. I still have it.

I found out a few months ago that he has another one, in like-new condition, stored away. Maybe I can persuade him to give it to me.

The UK's biggest reenactment event is a week long affair known as War & Peace. I haven't been for a while, the sanitation puts me off. Last time I was there I wore a camo shirt in material like this. No one said a word, I was most disappointed. The shirt got sold off soon after, someone offered silly money for it, so I took it.

Heh, subtle. Looks, at first glance, close to what I remember British squaddies wearing on the streets of Belfast back in the 80s and into the early-mid 90s. Puts me in mind of something you'd see in a Bond opening credits sequence.

 

[Peter Mackin]

A dress !!!

 

[Jaxenro]

Shorts for men. Whoever thought up short pants for grown men was an idiot

Sandals for men when out and about. Maybe at a beach or something but I really don't want to see your feet at a restaurant.

T shirts with slogans on them. I don't wear T shirts anyway too uncomfortable

Anything advertising a clothing company

 

[Jaxenro]

BTW I lived in WV for two years. Everyone wears camo all the time at a minimum a hat or shirt. It's like the state color
