Dressing Your Age

[DBella]

I look, kind of bulky I guess. I'm too skinny to really look bulky (hence me being so cold).
She doesn't call me "baby" just ridiculous.
Baby or not, I'm all about thermals. So comfortable.
Atleast I don't pretend their some superhero costume and act like I'm daredevil or something (well, not when anyone's home atleast).

I've always found it silly when grown men and women call each other 'baby'. I thought that's just because I'm not very romantic and dislike mush. But anyway...

I figured you must be skinny to require that much clothing to warm up. I'm the same way, but no thermal. Do they even make thermal undies for women?

Hahaha! So... your thermal is ... burgundy in color? Cool. Uhh... I mean, warm.

 

[thedeadite]

Well, red but close enough.
I have gray too but I'm not as much of a Silver Surfer fan.

 

[DBella]

ooh. blue velvet flashback.

Ooh... I remember that Lynch movie! I liked it. It was so long ago when I last watched it so I can't remember that line.

Was is glow-in-the-dark? Cause if not, you should upgrade. Non-glow-in-the-dark GBs shirts are little 18-24.

Actually, it does glow in the dark.

I usually wear comic or movie t-shirts all the time. But I usually wear a button shirt or sweater over them, because that's just how I roll. Wearing a comic t-shirt in my college actually gets you friends because we're all video game and animation majors. We're all big 'ol nerds. You should see our college on Halloween. The fashion majors think we're nuts.

There were a lot of anime nerds at my college. They were nuts

Oh, yes, there are a lot at mine too. And I agree. But us "normal" nerds balance it out.

I'm 22 and I personally wouldn't where comic and cartoon shirts. But that's the great thing, everyone has a different style. Obviously if you was going around dressed like Napoleon Dynamite I would rip the absolute **** of you! But where what you want man, parents are there to be disobeyed!!!

I just where jeans or joggers, a t-shirt and sweater if i'm out casually. But if i got out at night i'll put a button up shirt on and some shoes or whatever.
Theres times when you can dress however you like but sometimes everyone has to dress to impress.

One day I showed my mom this shirt I had bought, it was a Ghostbusters shirt, and she told me that I should start "dressing my age". So, is there an age where someone should start dressing a certain way, and what exactly should you wear?

Like, I'm 25, so what exactly is a 25-year-old suppose to dress like?

I think your mom is off base. 25 is still young and it's commonplace to see character Ts on that age group. Don't worry, there will likely come a day when you will feel too old to wear some of your current favorite clothes. That is a depressing day.

There comes a time where you should start expressing who you are through your demeanor and your personality and not through your clothes

you should wear your clothes, not the other way around

stop being a marketing puppet and suit up.

I am in my early 30's and if the day ever comes where I have to "suit up" I would rather crawl in a hole and die.

so you'll rather be a marketing puppet for a big organisation who doesn't care for you rather than.....be yourself and let your personality flow through you and not your clothes?

your loss.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Haha, so you can't have personality and a flashy shirt?

 

[chamber-music]

I'm 23. Nobody says anything about my comic shirts lol

Same here. I've seen guys older than me comic T-shirts. Pyro perhaps your mom just ain't with times.

 

[knowsbleed]

Haha, so you can't have personality and a flashy shirt?

Of course you can.... with this:

 

[November Rain]

not really.

Take that shirt for example. It's minor but it's transformers advertising.

However it has so little transformer labelling on it that it comes across somewhat elitist as if you belong to some cool club.

and why does it need to glow, the glowing comes off as an attempt to be extrovert which makes it seem like the owner is putting on a show.

You start talking to someone you don't know and more of the conversation is spent on your glowing attire than yourself and it's just like.....eeeehhh....

just think of a gorgeous person like brad pitt in a transformers top and you just die a lil on the inside.

I'm with you on this one. One of my favorite aspects of my job is that there is no kind of uniform or suit requirement.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

not really.

Well you're alone in that school of thought. I'm rockin a bright-ass Thundercats shirt right now and I'd love to hear somebody tell me I lack personality. If anything, I could stand to tone it down.

I work on a building site, I can pretty much wear anything I want, as long as i've got the ol steel toe boots n all that.

But when I go out at the weekend I love to dress up, I don't wear a suit but I think everyone once in a while should go out and wear some nice clothes like a shirt and trousers and shoes and all that jazz. You don't know what you're missing out on lads. The ladies love it, around my way they do anyway!

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Of course you can.... with this:

I have an Autobots shirt. I love that sucker

 

[jokersminion]

your loss.

no, maybe i took what you said wrong, I just mean that I don't ever want to have to wear what is expected of my age, I want to wear what makes me feel comfortable, not how others expect me to dress, just becuase I am older, and I am not a marketing puppet for anyone but myself. I mean hell, I wear glow in the dark gloves I bought in the little boys dept. at walmart, because I thought they were cool, yeah I get funny looks but who cares. It's what I like. Oh and I love wearing my TDK joker t's too, because I am a fan of the film.

I can deal with anything but suit jackets and dress shoes. Those are weddings/funerals only.

lolz yea!! Thats what I mean. I wouldn't just go out to the bars and clubs in a suit. But it does feel nice to wear some nice clothes, trust me. You may think "Oh I'm just gonna wear t-shirts all my life!" But seriously, it's great to go out in a nice shirt and jeans/trousers looking your best. But to each their own, just wear what you feel comfortable in. When I just go out and about I might throw a hoody on (Oh no!! A hoody!! lolz) but i feel comfortable in it. I wouldn't wear a hoody or some silly t-shirt when I go out on the tiles because I wouldn't feel comfortable.

Well that's just it. It's flamboyant extrovertism

it's all out there on your sleeve, where's the subtlety.

I mean it's fine, i presume you're still at uni but when work starts you wanna go in relatively neutral, no comic based flashy ties or socks (socks you can get away with at xmas but still).

it makes no difference what you are but if you are perceived as flamboyant or trying too hard to show you are flamboyant, then you may not be as well receieved as you would be if you let yourself shine through first.

I mean i love west african dishes and mozart and comics and politics but i don't need four different tops with those things on it to tell people. I don't need a t-shirt with a funny quip on it because i can give funny quicks. I don't need a bright shirt because i can have a bright personality.

do you not feel certain attires limit your potential to be expressive because they do it for you. I mean a large part of any communication is body language which brings into account what you wear.

i personally think there are times for certain attires, like like lazy sundays

semi suited outings are awesome, go with the feel you've kinda just come from the office, tie off, shirt jacket trousers and shoes and that look of you've just bagged a big one.

that's the look of sucess that is attractive to anyone, you become the centre fo conversation and you can catch people's attention. People want to get close to get more insight.

you can't get that when your logo filled clothes are already giving those signals.


dressing the way you want is fine but there is a time and a place for all garments, you need a full wardrobe of gear. There does come a time as you say where shirts and trouses are the way forward and some nice cardigans...
