I really need to get some new clothes.

[ChaoZ]

I just realized most of my clothes I have are from my high school and early college days. Going through the stuff just makes go "Wtf was I thinking?"

Bah. I hate shopping for clothes, especially since most of 'em are too big for me.

one of my good friends from college still rocks his high school clothes at age 28. it's pretty gross because he's gained a ton of weight.

personally, I can't imagine wearing anything from those days. my tastes have changed way too much.

Clothes are too big for you? Do you have the body of a 10yr old girl?

I'm 5'6". When I took for sweaters I either find L or XL sizes; I'd be lucky if I even find a M size.

where are you shopping? most days I struggle to find an XL in a world of S's and M's.

buy online, easier to find the right sizes.

I just threw away a shirt I had worn out. I bought it from a thrift store in 1991.

shoulda saved it for a few more years, you could wear it, call it vintage, and be in style.

The arms were ripping out at the elbows and shoulders every time I reached for something. The end was nigh. The shirt started life as a high end dress shirt. It was white and 100% cotton so I wore it for hiking and just lasted and lasted.

ATOT isnt the best place to talk about clothes. most of these guys are IT/engineering types who advocate $30 jeans and value over style.

What? I just bought two pairs of BDU pants. They are way more comfortable than jeans, have roomy pockets, and are only $27/pair (I saved $6 over your fancy jeans). Thrift stores for shirts and JCPenney for underwear.

I'm pretty sure that more money does not necessarily equal better style.

Yea cus paying $200 for jeans means you have so much style.

Where'd you find the BDU's?

Thrift store underwear is the best tho!

sometimes, if you're lucky, you can get 'em pre-streaked too

Why would anyone want to impress a douche bag?

I got my Levi's jeans for $25. Costco FTW.

I live in a base town. There is a military surplus store that carries Propper BDUs. They are mil spec but labeled for retail sale. You can order them direct at:

That's what the Diesel commercial said.

I hate buying clothes too. Medium shirts are too short, large shirts are long enough but are too fat, and ones that finally fit me right shrink after a month from being washed.

 

[Bateluer]

Meh, most of my jeans are from when I was in high school. I was larger in high school, so the jeans still fit with a belt just fine. And these were the 10 dollar Walmart jeans too.

I just buy some more business casual, work clothes though I took care to select garments that I could wear outside of work too.
