Question for the Ages

I wouldn't wear shoes without socks.

**barneykiller** · 07-16-2012, 01:27 AM

I would only wear that if I lost some sort of drunken dare

**BRuhling** · 07-16-2012, 05:07 AM

Everywhere!

Everyone knows you don't wear lace-up shoes with shorts and a double-breasted jacket. You wear double monk straps.

But only with white socks.

To work. Guaranteed to get stress leave if I showed up wearing something like that. Assuming I survive getting here that is.

In my nightmares!

BTW, CdG is a Japanese fashion house.

Among other things, this is taking the whole Thom Browne thing too far. As per normal Thom Browne style, the sleeves of the jacket and the jacket itself are too short. But here the high water pants thing is truly taken to an extreme! <g>

LOL! I just coughed up coke through my nose reading this.

Edit: That would be Coca Cola.

The garish pattern is just there for camouflage ... it draws attention away from his sleeves being too short.

What do you call that pattern, anyway? At first, I thought it was Houndstooth, but when I looked closer, I see its some sort of Op-Art that seems to shimmer in and out.

I think it's called "Grandma's 1950's vinyl table cloth"

It's couture - a few people might wear it just to be outre and fashion-forward but mostly it's a calling card for the designer. A way to get attention increase the brand's reputation as being very stylish, increasing the sales of their more normal clothing.

Ouch.. Root beer up the nose is rather painful..

You need a warning on that post! :)

Thanks for reporting! But you should not encourage me. The Thom Browne extended thing really is what sort of struck me right away! Althought, of course, I am kidding.

That's what you wear when you're having tea with the Queen Mum at the Polo match

At a polo match one needs a hat. I was going to recommend a fez, but since your date is going to be the Queen Mum's corpse I say go with Princess Beatrice's Cthulhu chapeau instead.
