PHat Like Me
 

PHat people suck.

That is the stupidest fashion trend ever. Big baggy jeans, sports jerseys, do-rags, bling bling, hats and visors worn at crazy angles <shakes head>

Seriously, pull your damn pants up, none of us want to see your damn boxers.

Give me khakis, polos, button-down shirts with frat-rolled sleeves, visors worn correctly and red wings.

Yes, I hate those baggy pants. I also must add about the bling-bling. I have seen your car, I hear the way you talk, you look like an idiot, do you like I really believe that you are wearing a 1.5 carat diamond earing? You are standing in line at DEFAX, to get food stamp for your baby. If it is not real, I don't wear it. The very little jewelry I wear is real gold, or silver, and real gems. I am not saying I am blinged out, but I am "keeping it real"

What ever.

LMAO!

I was reading our Professional Jewelers Magazine that we get every other week....

They had a little blurb about how the term "BLING BLING" has now been added to the dictionary.

I'm sorry, BLING BLING may sound cool, but I don't forsee myself using that term while selling fine jewelery...TO ANYONE! :rolleyes:

Why not? :(

You'll be off the chain.

Wear what you like.

Re: Re: PHat Like Me
 

bling-bling

a reference to elaborate jewelry and clothing and the appreciation of it.

Why do I have a feeling this thread is going to be a flame war? :rolleyes:

I agree. Abercrombie/american eagle is so late 90's.

The cool people wear Express/Structure, Gap, The Limited, and Bananna Republic now. ;)

oh wow, i guess you do have a cool bone in your body.

structure is the shit.

but yah i have like 5 jerseys (shaq/kobe/bonds/bruce/faulk)

i have a bunch of hats. i wear them backwards and to the side.

i have baggy jeans and some normal ones.

i also have a silver chain and bracelet.

bottom line is i dress the way i wanna.

i 1200% agree. when it comes to appearance, there are few things sexier than a classy dresser

Heh...I was thinking that The Limited and Gap were sooooooo old.....

this thread doesn't make any sense :confused:

I agree. I'd rather see someone's underwear than see someone who has no original sense of style.

Hey i just want to see girls' undies no matter what.

I'm sorry folks, but there's only so many ways or styles to wear your clothes, unless you're gonna start wearing shoes from you ears, or a short sleeve t tied around your neck, you can bet someone before you thought of it.

I don't care what my clothes "SAY". I wear clothes to keep warm and to keep from being thrown in jail for public indecency. I just prefer jeans, polo's, button ups, etc. I may wear clothes from the GAP, or AE, but i never wear anything that is just a logo, or has a huge logo on it. I worked at Old Navy for 4 years, ask me how many logo tees i have, ZERO.

Mostly because i believe people who are 'label-conscious' are the most unoriginal folk out there. I don't care if you have American Eagle or FUBU emblazoned across your chest, they're both equally lame.

KS 361 times someone needs to call me a racist cuz i ain't down with the hip hop fashion

Yeah, but seriously, if you rip on "do-rags" you're making fun of a specific race, aren't you?

nope,

white trash wear what i call "do-rags" also. So do hispanics, indians, and yes, AfAms. They are a universal part of hip hop culture. Now, had i said something like Aunt Jemima(however you spell that) rags, THAT would have been race-targeted.

and i took great care to avoid the sensitive "ghetto" label too, as i know that GC has attached it racial significance.

ETA: FWIW, the main purpose for this thread was that i liked where the convo in the "FAT like me" thread was going and i was mad that ZA locked it.

Yeah man, she locked all the fun threads, and I am just getting off of work, hoping to let off some steam.

Unoriginal or not, I don't think it's attractive when people (men especially) wear pants that could double as a parachute. Give me a "preppy" guy any day.

What is a do rag? Like a bandana?

A piece of fabric to protect your hairdo.
:cool:
*Leaving this thread.*

LOL Yes. I think even uncle Jesse in Full House called it a do rag.

-Rudey

yeah its a bandana - I think Deion Sanders when he still played for the Cowboys made it popular....or at least I always heard the announcers refer to Deion and his "do rag"

but i'm not racist..my best friend is black.

Nicely put.....

To add to that, I ONLY wear PRADA. That is all. Don't even let anything else touch my body.

I like it when guys wear timberlands and it's like 200 degrees outside all dressed up with gucci fabric and stuff.

-Rudey
--But that's just me...I'm high society.

Sorry,

as a poor and uneducated "white" man, i have always considered bandanas to be do-rags. Whether they be on Nelly, or a Biker in Sturgis. Granted the biker in Sturgis isn't part of hip hop culture but it's still a damn do-rag. What are they REALLY? and what are they REALLY for? National defense? Identification? What?

as far as the ghetto issue. For the love of god, do some people just wait on GC for someone to bring up an issue just so they can accuse them of being a racist?

and if i can't call the style "hip-hop", "ghetto", "rap" what the hell am i supposed to call it?

"style where people wear oversized clothes, white tshirts, lots of jewelry, DO-RAGS, hats and visors worn the wrong way, and AF Ones"?

Sorry guy but you gotta wear a fitted cap slightly cocked to the side.

--Girls dig it and you look bad arse.

Is this really that big of a deal??

It's impossible to be original anymore. To say that people that wear baggy jeans and sports jerseys have more style than guys who wear Abercrombie is ridiculous; maybe the first guy ever to sag his jeans was a visionary, but after him its just been one person copying another.

And isn't that what fashion is??? NONE of us are original. Guys are wearing women's low rise jeans, girls wear boy-cut undies and the 80's are back.

Big deal. Wear what you think you look good in, don't wear what you don't like, and don't think it's a personal attack against you if someone doesn't like your style.

I think the bandanna/do rag (I'm sorry but that is what it's called)/ baggy jeans/timberlands looks like hell, but that's my opinion. I also don't go for guys in too short khakis rocking pocket protectors. Neither makes me a racist.

hahaha kitso rocks a pocket protector.

LMAO not what I was implying....

It's hard to make that look good.

But the thick black glasses w/the tape in the middle??? Now those are hot.

Gimme two pair!

damn,

i need to get those pics from our nerd crush party scanned.

Then you can see Kitso rocking the BCG's with the croakies and the tape :D

ROTFLMGDAO!!!


Ok ok I was kidding, I think my girlfriends (Kath, FAB, Heather)would get mad if I cheated on them.


Sorry for the thread hijack kitso!
So the consensus is.....huge baggy pants, yes or no??

sounds like you need to be posting on cash$$$'s trendy bisexual thread :D

and NO to the huge baggy pants

Kitso
KS Prop 361 will outlaw the showing of men's under garments in public, but ladies feel free to show your thongs out the back of you low rises anytime :D

Bikers do not wear do-rags. They wear headwraps. They don't even wear bandanas most of the time -- they have a specially fashioned piece of cloth that looks nothing like a bandana when it's off. And I know this because my friend's mom owns a company that sells biker apparel and I worked there one summer, so do not question my knowledge on this subject. :p

Sure, bandanas go across the spectrum of cultures, but the term "do-rag" is specifically associated with "ghetto" culture. You can't separate the "bling bling" from the black, because they are automatically linked in most people's eyes. And no, saying you don't find the "bling bling" attractive is not necessarily racist -- I certainly don't think it's all that hot when guys have got their pants pulled down to their knees -- but a ridiculous attack where you make fun of something that is clearly associated with one race is verging on it. It's really not all that far from saying "People who wear kimonos and eat sushi are really stupid. They should be wearing khakis and eating hamburgers like me."

I think it's hilarious when the same people who complain about "everything on GC turning into a race issue" are the ones who bring up things that are obviously race issues.

And I agree with Jules: wear what you want. People who wear labels are no better than those who don't, and vice versa. Isn't it great when we've got the non-label-wearers feeling superior to the label-wearers because they "are individuals" and the label-wearers feeling superior to the non-label-wearers because they are "in style"? And then toss in the people who think they're better because they're wearing Lilly Pulitzer instead of Abercrombie, Seven jeans instead of FUBU, etc. Seriously, how petty can we get?

I also agree with her that nerd glasses are hot.
