February 26, 201411 yr Who wore it better? NEITHER! All those pictured, look as though they looked at a store mannequin and asked for "that" very same outfit! I'm calling...........
February 26, 201411 yr I fail to see why this is a thread or why it was posted. :wtf: Hunty, its in URBANBAR you don't have to understand!
February 26, 201411 yr I fail to see why this is a thread or why it was posted. :wtf: Apparently Jake's newest hobby is to find silly things on local news websites (unfortunate misspellings or the fact that - GASP! - two guys wore a similar shirt) and go for cheap laughs. Try harder.
March 6, 201411 yr Mock turtlenecks and stonewashed jeans. So, you're saying that 1988 me is cool now? Just bring back the pleated pants. Come on, you know you want to. Vive le pleat!

March 6, 201411 yr Some of this looks like Star Trek junk - definitely nothing to be caught dead in. Pretty sure I might come out on top in a head cutting duel with the cellist, too

I never wore it. Actually, it wasn't big in Upstate NY. I was a Lee man, myself. Nice, dorky Lee. With the matching stonewashed jean jacket, because, you've got to coordinate.

March 11, 201411 yr I noticed there seems to be some resistance to the normcore look in SoHo :? http://www.mainstreetpainesville.org/
March 11, 201411 yr ^^ If there were ever a candidate for a beard transplant it's that guy. ^Bringing back the hi-top fade! Oh la oh la ayyy! www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7ejsNdvpxA If we're bringing that back, I'd also like to return to the halcyon days of referring to things as 'jiggy'. Oh, too late. Michael Reghi has beaten me to it.
March 11, 201411 yr ^LOL. I remember seeing the guy with the high hair (whichever one he was) in the Village around 6th Ave a couple of times--about 20 years ago. I guess they disbanded? :| http://www.mainstreetpainesville.org/
March 18, 201411 yr I forgot I had these on my photobucket account. These are photos I took from the April 2013 DAAP fashion show at UC:
March 18, 201411 yr Baggy seat/waist and skinny legs on pants. I think this is my watershed moment in life when "I just don't get kids these days." I get the skinny jeans..... I don't agree that men should wear skinny jeans (or capris)..... but I get it. This new look has me dumbfounded how anyone could possibly think that looks good.
March 19, 201411 yr I dig the crowns and skull shoulder pad. Ha. I didn't notice the skull shoulder pad until you mentioned it. The really weird thing about that fashion show is that most if not all of the female models are...in high school. I found that out the hard way when a few of their moms contacted me about buying photos. From what I gather the DAAP students make the clothes themselves. It's tough having the idea of the designs come through when your sewing skills aren't pro quality and the models come from area high schools. I'm sure we'd all cringe seeing the budgets of the big-time fashion shows -- the cost to make the clothes, then payments to the models and staff.
March 19, 201411 yr "It's tough having the idea of the designs come through when your sewing skills aren't pro quality" And even if they were, they need to get out of academia and understand proportions and what's flattering and what's not. No woman wants her legs to look shorter - a good amount of those designs you posted do just that. clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
April 5, 201411 yr more elitist "analysis" of normcore. Does it even really exist?? :| The New Normal Normcore: Fashion Movement or Massive In-Joke? By ALEX WILLIAMS APRIL 2, 2014 http://www.nytimes.com/2014/04/03/fashion/normcore-fashion-movement-or-massive-in-joke.html http://www.mainstreetpainesville.org/
April 5, 201411 yr And from the back of the crowd, a solitary voice quietly began the chant. "Pleat, pleat, pleat, pleat". Soon, a small number took up the cry, then more, and more still, until finally, the thunderous chant of a thousand voices could be heard demanding that which they have been denied for too long. "PLEAT!! PLEAT!! PLEAT!!!" Now, finally, the casual male shall reclaim that which was wrongfully taken from him by the fashion world. Comfort, ease of movement, and the right to take a full breath after a large meal. We request...nay, we DEMAND the return of the pleated front khaki!
April 5, 201411 yr Yeah I've been norm-core since 1978. In fact I've owned at least 4 pairs of those grey New Balance running shoes since about 2000. I'm more certain than ever that at some point the NY hipsters will discover Steelers tailgaters, and make that a look/movement. I can envision literally thousands of people in Pittsburgh gear who have never actually been there.
April 5, 201411 yr ^^ You just described Staten Island (specifically PS 30) circa 1979. We all had the full length Steelers winter coat and the fall/spring satin Yankee jacket. Fashion!
April 5, 201411 yr ^^and who will save the cargo pant? Will we see a Duck Head revival? Allow me to revise my previous post. I can envision a culture of people "tailgating" and going to sports bars ironically. Like the hipster bars could take on team allegiances, like a Steelers bar across from a Browns bar.
April 5, 201411 yr I'm more certain than ever that at some point the NY hipsters will discover Steelers tailgaters, and make that a look/movement. I can envision literally thousands of people in Pittsburgh gear who have never actually been there. Sounds like Columbus post-2000 or so. I never knew any Steelers fans growing up, but now...
May 2, 201411 yr I apologize ahead of time for this video -- arguably the most egregious fashion in the history of this thread:
May 3, 201411 yr Jem's got something to saaaaaaayyy She bought a ton o' makeup today It doesn't matter that much to her As long as she's hot Jem's got something to saaaaaaayyy She killed her baby today It doesn't matter that much to her As long as she's hot
May 7, 201411 yr I dunno, does anybody think she has a real chance of making it as a model? lol http://www.mainstreetpainesville.org/
May 14, 201411 yr ^proof positive that supermodels are people too! My hands are clean of any responsibility for this incident as it must have happened after my "photoshoot" and she's obviously had a wardrobe change, although I think a get well card might be in order :laugh: http://www.mainstreetpainesville.org/
May 21, 201411 yr models models everywhere! and it's never too early--is it?--to start thinking about those fall/winter fashions?? http://www.mainstreetpainesville.org/
June 2, 201411 yr That's the prettiest homeless person I've ever seen. But why is she taking a picture of that model?
June 2, 201411 yr That's the prettiest homeless person I've ever seen. But why is she taking a picture of that model? I think it's part of a new vocational program for the glitterati. http://www.mainstreetpainesville.org/
June 11, 201411 yr The shorts suit is in I remember kids wearing these - adults? no http://www.businessinsider.com/mens-suits-with-short-2014-6#ixzz34B2AtTar
June 11, 201411 yr Hahaha. I remember my uncle telling me this was all the rage in Bermuda. This will be a great outfit for me when I'm reborn as a fancy son of a British merchant in the 1600's
June 11, 201411 yr Nobody wants to see hairy legs like that in a corporate and/or professional setting. Although I might be able to pull it off
June 23, 201410 yr E 2nd St & Extra Pl (which no one ever heard of :wtf:) http://www.mainstreetpainesville.org/
June 23, 201410 yr Hahaha. I remember my uncle telling me this was all the rage in Bermuda. This will be a great outfit for me when I'm reborn as a fancy son of a British merchant in the 1600's I thought that is why they call them 'Bermuda shorts'..... it's not new. My wife and I went on our honeymoon there 10 years ago and all the men were wearing dress shirts and ties with shorts and those knee-high dress socks. It actually didn't look too bad, but that picture above with the no socks look and loafers..... no way

You're no longer cute and neither are they on your 8 year old behind!
June 24, 201410 yr Does anyone do any of these subscription services? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekMPbaVQXSM Do they send everyone in America the exact same clothes every month?
