Happy FOUR TWENTY!
I went up on Parliament Hill and shared an 8.5G joint with friends. Would have been better to make a ton of smaller spliffs because a lot was wasted, but whatevs. It's pretty big here in Ottawa. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=en5mlylcHPY

Banana republic has no muchness. On top of that, I'm not quite sure what to think of a brand that markets these as Oxfords. [Edit] If you have french cuffs your shirts, make sure your cuff links aren't too obvious. As a rule of thumb, if you notice the cuff links on someone's sleeve, they're bad. Avoid ridiculous ones likes airplanes, boots, etc. Keep it as simple as possible. [Edit] Don't wear boat shoes with a blazer. It'll clash.

[hide=Commentary #1] Sears has good shirts too, but disgusting ones as well. Be careful. Zara and Aldo are good trendy alternatives. They don't have much when it comes to classics though. ASOS has an inexpensive collection of all types of clothing, from underwear to tailoring (blazer+trouser combos for 80£). I'm not experienced enough to vouch for quality though. They also sell a lot of trendy brand name clothing. All Saints has brave, trendy collections, but their clothing is quite expensive. Topman and Burton are happy mediums, the latter selling jacket+shirt+tie+trouser+shoe combos for 154£. Yep. If you get a black blazer first, you're going to regret it. Go for gold buttons if you want to play out the nautical look, which as Lent said is hot for SS10. I suggest Levi's 511s, 510s if you're feel like going skinnier. If you're a little hefty, 501s, 507s, and 514 are what you're looking for. The wash on the 511s I linked to is perfect, but you might want a black pair (overdyed if possible, so they won't lose their color and end up seeming a little grungy) and a gray pair. If you're feeling somewhat brave, white jeans are great too. Don't fall in mud though, it won't wash off. Personal experience. Also true. ASOS sells chinos, some with bright colors for a modern twist. Also hot right now are Clubmasters and Rounded Wayfarers (I think that's the name... :mellow:) [/hide] [hide=Commentary #2] Derby shoes are less formal than oxfords, but still classy. Pointed ones ooze character. Boat shoes are basically a must if you feel like following trends. Wear them with rolled up chinos or shorts. Once again, opt for colored alternatives for a modern twist. Again, ASOS/Aldo/Zara. What must be added is that half of looking great is attitude. You'll understand if someday you go to Milan and see the gentlemen leaving a trail of confidence behind them. Posture and body language are extremely important. You can basically wear a blazer with anything that doesn't look rough or grungy. But if you're trying to look classy, I don't think you'll have any of that in your wardrobe. [/hide]

It's hardly taking a chance, they look good with anything as long as you wear them with a matching belt. Well you probably know more than me, so that's just my two cents.

Secret: my school has recycling bins and trash cans, but they don't actually recycle anything, it all ends up at the dump.

It won't change anything, the wow-o-meter is already at the max because you're wearing a suit. They set the tone for your outfit.

Or, you're being pointlessly sensitive. About something that doesn't matter. A joke. You're taking this too seriously.

When lent says they need love too, I'm pretty sure he doesn't mean love in the same sense as you, because that's something he can't feel.

You want to wear a button-up shirt under your jumpers, it looks better. Speaking of attention lent, I just wore dress shoes on an informal occasion for the first time (friend's gig at a small bar). Works like a charm.

And that's why I think wearing a blazer, or buttoning your shirt all the way up, or wearing lace-ups, etc. is a better idea than wearing a full suit. It looks classy but not completely incongruous.

I mean tailored clothing as in suits, leather lace-ups, trousers, dress shirts, etc. Not clothing brought to a tailor so that he makes it fit right.

What about linen? Anyways, steer clear from graphic tees and "eroded" clothing if you're going for classy. Start reading up on fashion blogs (Fashionbeans, the Sartorialist) for trends. Prioritize organic fabrics as opposed to synthetic ones, like poylester. Tailored clothing are hard to pull off if you're too young. Be sure not to look like you're trying to be something you're not.

How do YOU dress?
I feel they look better when you have brown hair. But no, I don't think it looks hipsterish, at all.

How do YOU dress?
I have decided that someday I would wear, top to bottom: Tortoise shell, brown lens Wayfarers White neckerchief (optional) Single-breasted navy blazer with gold buttons T-shirt (Scoop/crew neck, 2-inch wide horizontal stripes alternating white and blue) Cognac belt White skinny jeans/chinos Cognac Derby shoes. I felt I had to announce that.

Aren't you like 13? Uh, happens to all the dudes at that age as far as I remember.

What is bad music?
Disagree! Any of Justice's tracks will show you using a software doesn't mean your music will lack complexity. They're all sequenced (give the computer the score and with which synths to play it with, and it plays it for you).
