I'm a nice sweater (Pringle, Ljinnberg, Lyle and Scott or John Smedley at risk of sounding a bit like Paul Weller), plain t-shirt, blue jeans and white trainers (fairly plain ones like adidas or whatever) fellow myself, though I do have a pair of Clarkes loafers which I wear to make myself look like I've just stepped out of a Ford Cortina in 1972. I'm sure they don't make me look like that at all and in fact make me look like a braying tit outside Inferno in Clapham but what can you do? It's all pointless anyway, I have a scraggy beard and shit teeth (most of which are yellow, one of which is gold) so I look like a disgusting tramp whatever I do.
My girlfriend is always trying to make me grow long hair as well but coupled with the beard I think it makes me look like a thin Bill Bryson. Also, I had long hair in 1994 aged 14 and I was such a ghastly pillock back then that I can't bring myself to do it now.
I will stand up for buying one garment that will last for the price of 5 that won't (but I don't always conflate cost and quality, like a lot of people who are dickheads about clothes do).
I have this weird brown bomber jacket thing that my mate Jon gave me 8 or so years ago and it's my most treasured sartorial possession.
Dare anyone start a thread on boxers vs. pants?
there is of course always that thing with clothes, some of them when they look tattered and natty they have that special blues quality,
bad teeth are the sign of a true english man.
