     |  Anyone know fashion? Yeah, I know, a pimp asking for fashion advice... But, I'm colorblind... That means that I occasionally mismatch my stuff, or mix up the yellow wire and the red wire on my power supply... That being said, from time to time I'm gonna post outfits and get you guys to tell me what's wrong with them... Or just what I wear, in an effort to fix my appearance and get back to being a part of society instead of *just* sitting behind a computer.... I actually went out and had my hair cut and highlighted, and got new dress clothes... I'm posting my Easter pics tomorrow for your amusement... If you have experience, please let me know... |

Actually that tid bit of fashion has been thrown out the window. Amazingly it's fair game now days.

Oh you're kidding me, right? So I shouldn't have been so uptight about forgetting my black socks for my formal tux for band? Dang it, when did they change the book and not tell me | |||||||||||||||||||||||

| Well when you are talking formal it is still a no no, unless you are going for the bluesbrothers theme.. Casual dress on the other hand is different.. It is fashional to wear white socks with a black pair of doc martins or a lookalike..

| Do what I do. Jeans and hawaiian shirts with a beige fedora and brown leather shoes or moccassins.

| Can't go wrong with straight-cut baggy jeans and a loose white t-shirt. Some nice Jordan's would help the look too.

| best fashion tip i ever got: keep it simple. dont go for all the trends that use flashy colors or wierd shapes, cuz youll either look like an idiot wearing them(unless youre a model) or theyll go out of style faster than you can say...uhh, something short... anyways, you really cant go wrong with solid colors or subtle patterns(VERY subtle). jeans are always good, and remember, your belt always matches your shoes, and the buckle matches your watch.

| With all of the talk of white socks and black shoes or white shoes and black socks maybe this thread has the wrong title. It should be titled socks and shoes. On a more serious note: you could always just go with the "it doesn't matter anyway" approach or my favorite... Get a couple of fleece vest/jackets and just were jeans/cords, a t-shirt, and the vest thingy. Color almost never is a problem (of course that could be because all of the clothing I own is black or red)... hmmm, that is another option also - just get a 1or 2 color wardrobe - it kind of eliminates the possibility of a mis-match.
