  3. No bigotry of any kind.
  4. Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.

This is an example of more dollars than sense. They look terrible and paid good money for the privilege.

[–] Monzcarro@feddit.uk 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

More pounds than sense.

I'm fairly certain that's New Street All Bar One in Birmingham. This is typical attire for tossers going out day drinking in Brum.

Also, these guys just look British. The short guy couldn't look more aggressively British if he was wearing the Union Jack and invading countries for their tea.

Also, I'm not sure these clothes cost too many pounds - lots of polyester there. No shade - I don't buy expensive clothes myself either.

That second guy is one fart away from a public nudity charge.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 39 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I don't think you should subject everyone in public to having to see the entire shape of your cock and balls in pants that are so tight you can't even walk in them.

I’m not a complete fucking bellend.

[–] D_C@lemm.ee 12 points 1 week ago

I'm at 89% on the bellend-o-meter myself at the moment, I'm afraid that if I go over 90% I'll have to dress like them!!

[–] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.one 31 points 2 weeks ago

"What's preventing you from dressing like this?"

My moderate self esteem.

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 31 points 2 weeks ago

I can't stand tight clothes especially shirts. There are very few things more annoying and uncomfortable than a shirt that desperately wants to burrow into your armpit.

As for the pants I can't say I'd enjoy needing a changing partner:

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago

What's preventing me? For one, actually having taste in clothing.

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 25 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I am not dressing for you. I am dressing for my own comfort and to satisfy legal requirements.

[–] kn0wmad1c@programming.dev 21 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Left guy is fine, I think. Proportional and his clothes fit. The ripped knees are questionable but w/e if he wants to tell us he's on his knees all day I won't judge.

[–] M137@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago

Not wanting to look like Douchebag McDouchebagface is what's stopping people from looking like that.

[–] Trilobyte@feddit.uk 18 points 1 week ago

They almost look shrink wrapped

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 17 points 1 week ago

Because I don't shop in the kids section.

Also I try not to wear plastics.

Men, what's preventing you to dress like this?

The fact that my girlfriend would die from laughter if I did.

[–] Wanpieserino@lemm.ee 6 points 1 week ago

Life insurance for her, buddy

  • I prefer to wear socks
  • I used to be fat, so skin tight shirts don't look good on me
  • I like button up shirts
  • In cool weather when I wear long trousers, I prefer not to have my ankles frozen
  • In hot weather I'm keeping as much of my legs bare as available men's bottom wear allows

All in all I don't like that style. I knew a boy who liked that style as a youth, he was a arsehole

[–] slouching_employer@lemmy.one 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Give it about ten years and the popular style will pendulum back to fitted/tight clothing.

Just like it was before the current baggy trend and after the previous baggy trend, which was preceded by another tight trend, which was preceded by another baggy trend, and so on and so on

I wonder how much momentum there is in that pendulum?

I think it started swinging (at least in America) in the 30's. Between the scarcity of the depression and rationing during the war, fashions tended toward minimal. Then in the abundance of the 50's you got big puffy poodle skirts and zoot suits because we finally had a surplus.

Walking in with my pants rolled up to mid-calf and the knees busted out like I've been giving head at the local truck stop for the last three weeks. I've got a full head of hair, yet I insist on shaving everything but the crown. I absolutely cannot grow a beard, and I refuse to get a proper shave. I'm wearing a watch in the year 2025, purely to show off how much money I can throw at one of the only allowed men's accessories. Neck. Tattoos. There's a 50/50 chance I'm wearing socks.

The entire cast of the Jersey Shore is lining up to get my number. Everyone else is staying at the distance necessary not to smell the patchouli.

Their arms are as big as their thigh. How can you even do that?

[–] cRazi_man@lemm.ee 59 points 2 weeks ago

By skipping leg day

The ability to move without squeaking.

[–] Zip2@feddit.uk 12 points 1 week ago

Because I don’t aspire to drive an Audi.

[–] PNW_Doug@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

Because I'm 55 years old and would—shockingly—even appear more of a buffoon than they?

Seems like a fairly good reason to me.

I've managed to buy clothes since I left the eighth grade.

The one lad has gone baggy what is he hiding

[–] kameecoding@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Personally for me I have massive legs even without working out( benefits of overweight with the right genetics) and I can't get the skinny jeans past my calves. 🤷‍♂️

It would also look ridiculous on me.

I would never wear long jeans that are not long enough and low socks to expose my ankles, that would feel terrible.

[–] Yawweee877h444@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Showing off those sexy ankles would've gotten them in quite the pickle back in the late 1800s.

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 6 points 1 week ago

What's this? The chess club? Robotics? They look like nerds. Twerps even. Real dorks.

[–] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 week ago

Junk too big, I'm too fat, and it's a douchy style when taken to the extreme of the photo. Wearing well fit clothes is good, but this is something else.

I regularly have trouble finding pants where the crotch doesn't crush things or make it look like I'm smuggling sausage, the waist is wide enough, and the legs don't look like they're parachutes. Usually settle for two of the three.
