I got picked up by the police on Saturday night

I understand you perfectly. Some people will dress on-fashoin though they look like h**l in those clothes. That's what I call idiots.

Ask Nema about black coats, they seem to be his motif. ;)

I have a large black coat, often called a trenchcoat, though I don't think it quite fits the spec. I wear it most of the time. I wear black or dark blue most of the time. It's easiest if you're colourblind.

Heheheheheh.

Oh and somebody's grown (5'11") you were 5'10" in a different thread if I remember correctly. :D

About your trenchcoat Nema. Does it look like a suitcoat or more like the one Neo use in The Matrix(presuming you've watched the film)?

I just wonder. ???

:)

A suitcoat? I'm not very well acquainted with technical terms of vestiments. Just that it's a thick coat (quite padded on the inside), dull black in colour, with four pockets on the outside, and it goes from about my knees to just over my mouth if I really do the zip up to the top.

Apollyon, I'm somewhere about there. I don't remember my exact height; and it's only a 2% error...

"girls in short skirts or shorts with hideously thin white legs . . .its horid"

Short skirts or short trousers is what I oppose.

I also agree that to dress to fashion is petty. Dress to practicality.

I would disagree strongly with this. Appearance (okay maybe not specifically *fashion*) is incredibly important and often changes the outcome of encounters with other people or opportunities you may or may not gain from. On this basis, clothing has more use than simple practicality (if practicality by your definition means for the purpose of maintaining modesty and a suitable temperature level... if it doesn't I just wasted a minute of my life typing...)

Fabric, Nema?

I also like pracitcal clothes. I hate wearing a suit just to look neat. I like normal sweaters and trousers best(don't know why, but I don't own a single piece of denim cloth, most of my clothes are made of cotton).

There is nothing preventing popular clothes from being practical. That's why I look for the two combined. :)

About cops:

It's actually quite funny. Where I live in Mississippi, a very rural area, most of the people I know almost never see a cop. However, at the college I attended this Spring semester I saw cops at least twice a day, and usually much, much more than that. About every ten to fifteen minutes they would circle the campus. And not just the city police: Sheriff and Constable cars as well.

About clothing:

Although I usually wear blue jeans and hawiian shirts, I sometimes like to pull out my long black trench coat and black jeans. I wish I could get ahold to another pair of boots, they always completed the image. I'm about 5' 11" to 6', I have long-ish black hair and a goatee thing. I wear black wire framed glasses. Like many I love the black and white image, but I haven't worn makeup since Halloween of '94. I don't really know enough about Goth culture to call myself a Goth; I just like the look.

hmm I wear dickies and skate shirts

[lowzeewee]

Judging people by appearance is like a miniskirt.

It does not reveal the "real thing" or I should say "most important thing"

*Ahem,ahem...* ;)

[Khan]

Ha LOL Low

Heheh reminds me of something Oscar Wilde said...

"An afterdinner speech should be as a lady's dress; Long enough to cover the subject but short enough to be interesting."
