Darthphere's House of Style: From Geek to Chic.

[Watson]

I am digging the Wonder Woman dress

 

[Manic]

Good god. If you ever needed proof that you pay for the brand name, they've got a simple grey t-shirt with a black bat-symbol selling for over 300 euros. I know where I can get a similar shirt for under $20.

 

[Darthphere]

Yeah, that is ridiculous.


So guys and gals, summer is pretty much here. So what are you people rocking to the beach?

Fellas, are you a board short, speedo or nude beach type of guy?

Ladies, are you giving men false hope in a two piece, a one piece or are you the one hot chick at the nude beach amongst all the old saggy people?

 

[Watson]

I have a suit very similar to this one:

But in blue and with thinner straps. I only got to wear it a few times last year so I'm excited to wear it again.

 

[Manic]

She's not showing bellybutton. I haven't seen a swimsuit like that since the last time I watched a TV show made in the 60's.

 

[Darthphere]

Well that's in style right now. Has been for a while.

 

[Manic]

I had no clue. I need to get my ass to the beach more often, apparently.

 

[Darthphere]

Yeah, it's real popular with the kids these days partaking in this pseudo pin-up style throwback thing.

 

[The Geek Vault]

I'd define myself as a Geek with a sort of hipster flair. I wear comic print tees and a lot of old school gaming tees. I wear jeans that may be a bit baggy but they are comfortable as hell (I usually wear a belt so that they don't sag) I have a collection of odd watches and sunglasses and hats that I usually wear which is why I said a sort of "hipster flair"

 

[Darthphere]

You have shutter shades don't you.

 

[AndThePickles]

Yeah, that is ridiculous.

I only own bikinis.

 

[NotAHenchwench]

I wear a one piece, that looks like this!:

 

[AndThePickles]

I'd actually really like a cute one piece, just 'cause some of them are super stylish.

 

[Maximum Carnage]

Las' so cayuuuute!

Also, it artfully covers those less-than-flat areas (RE: love handles).

I do have normal bikinis, and should probably buy another one. But I loathe swimsuit shopping with a fiery passion.

 

[NotAHenchwench]

I normally hate it too, but surprisingly I've had stellar luck at Walmart 2 years in a row. Bathing suits are only 30 bucks, and the one I have from last year still fits really well

 

[AndThePickles]

Man, I wish I could only pay $30 for even just the top or bottom of a bikini

 

[Darthphere]

Just buy the bottom and hit the nude beach.

Well, try Walmart. I used to shop at the Department and other brand stores for suits, and it just didn't work well for me. It was a freak accident when I bought that bathingsuit from Walmart last year and it held up better than the ones I'd bought for nearly triple the price.

 

[ttotheusher]

Yeah, that is ridiculous.

This year, for my holiday in July, I decided that what I wanted was a pair of bright, fluorescent pink shorts. Not even anything designer or fancy, just a plain pair of pink shorts. I thought it would be easy.

Boy, how wrong could I be! It would appear that no shop on earth sells what I want! Luckily, in the past week I finally found a pair that roughly match my description, cheap too, but there gonna take 5-6 weeks to arrive. Hopefully they'll arrive before I jet off, otherwise I'm gonna be seriously dissapointed.

 

[Manic]

Woo! I just got a $20-off coupon in the mail from Casual Male XL! I'm gonna use this to shop for a new casual button-up shirt!

I've tried everywhere. The only place I can get ones that actually fit WELL are from specialty bikini shops. If I go to stores like Walmart, I'd have to get an XL top, and those are usually too big around my back and just fit strangely. *Sometimes* I can get one from Target, but even then, it doesn't fit the way I want it to.

I've always wanted to go into that store and see if they have any good clothes but I just end up going to Crate and Barrel.

 

[Manic]

The one I go to is good for business and business casual, but the guy who works there tells me there's a location a couple towns over that mainly sells "urban gear." I don't really know what kinds of stuff they'd sell at your location. For example, their website sells graphic t-shirts, but I've never seen that at the store I visit. If I do have one problem with Casual Male, it's that their stuff is way too overpriced. No way in hell am I going to pay $100 for a sweatervest-- I don't give a damn who made it.

Yeah from looking through the window, they seem to only carry like slacks and guayabera styled button down shirts.
