.....in all the reindeer games.


OK----maybe I rubbed a few the wrong way with my un-birthday thread, if so....well I don't really apologize, but so it goes.

I'm glad I found this site. Slower traffic to be sure, but 11 times out of ten more insightful, and more laughs to be had!

FWIW- I am 28, live in Kansas City in the smack dab of The US. Not a bad city really, and I've been aroud enough to feel comfortable with that statement.

Style wise I can't say I adhere to Ivy, Trad, yada.......Being a current full time student (again, yeesh) I don't have much opportunity for suited sartorial finery, and being in the IT field means that the opportunities won't likely increase. That said I attempt to keep it classic and casual as best I can. Daily collared shirts, more often than not an OCDB, flat front pants, loafers, boat shoes, wallabees, cords, shetlands (just got a lovely bottle green one), polos, madras, plain jeans, all staples for me. Assembled together in a somewhat haphazard manner, hoping to avoid the curse of the costume. Generally speaking it all carries a rather slim fit as well, since I am a lean guy, worked to be that way, and don't want to hide it.
If anything I'd consider the combo to lean towards a campus classic look, if pressed to define and defend. In practice it sets me apart from most of my peers but not in an overbearing manner. Its my niche, the clothes looked good back in the day, and still hold up. Ain't broke, don't fix it.

I do enjoy poking fun at the trads, but that holds true for Anyone who takes themselves too seriously, life is far too short for that noise.

Gotta add I love getting a perspective from across the pond. I've always had a bit of the anglophile in me. Wait, that could be mis-construed quite badly......

So there is me (Clothing forum edition), take it or leave it. It really won't matter to me either way, at the end of the day I'll just "skin up" as you lot say and chuckle to myself. But seriously, take care all!
