I tend to go with more traditional conservative styles - it seems that you can get more years out of them than the trendy types. Also, I am most comfortable with button down shirts and relaxed fit dress type pants - although I do prefer to keep the top two buttons open on the shirts. I can wear ties if I really have to but I prefer to have some room around my neck - even go with the v-neck undershirts.

Gay men dominate the fashion industry, just as strait men dominate the heavy equipment industry.
Gay men are more focused on their presentation than strait men. The strait boys are catching up, but they have a long way to go. The strait boy fashionista is still a pretty rare thing.

As gay culture merges with mainstream culture, all this will change. But I don't understand the discomfort with the reality. Gay boys are the fashionistas of the world...and the hairdressers and the interior designers and the ballet dancers. We've made the world a more beautiful place.

Isn't that a good thing?

There are indeed an above average number of gays in the fashion industry. But you take that fact, and run with it to utterly unsupported conclusions.

For a start, I promise you there are lots of gays in the heavy equipment industry. Gays are not different to straight people, they do the same jobs as everyone else! Gays drive buses, teach in universities, collect your refuse, bake your break, make your cars, drill your oil, grow your food, make your computers go ..........

All gays don't work in the fashion industry, not even NEARLY. Yes, there are gays who work in the fashion industry, no, that does not tell you anything about all gays. That extrapolation is literally a logical fallacy, right up there with the classic "all dogs have four legs, my cat has four legs, therefore my dog is a cat!".

Now, you also say that caring about your appearance is related to fashion, it is not! You don't have to buy labels and use a million and one pharmaceuticals to take proper care your yourself and present your self in a neat and clean manner. I care about my appearance, I HATE fashion.

So, everything you say is wrong, because it's based on the nonsense idea that all gays (or even most gays) are fashionistas. But, lets pretend you are correct, and answer your final (rhetorical question) - no, no I do not think that would be a good thing at all!

The fashion industry is one of the most obvious tumours from the cancer destroying our soceity - our ever-increasing shallowness, and our ever more out of control consumerism. The fashion industry is all about getting people to spend INSANE amounts of money on cloths and accessories that you CAN'T use long-term, because, well, that is not not allowed in the fashion world. It is vacuous out of control consumerism gone mad.

Following fashions is not some sort of good thing to aspire to, instead it's a very wasteful surrendering of your originality and your money. Following fashion is a sign that you have given up on expressing your own individuality, and instead prefer to throw away your money on things other people insist are hip.

Actually caring about your appearance has nothing to do with buying over-priced cloths that you can only wear for a short amount of time before they fall out of fashion.

We should be encouraging people to buy durable affordable cloths that will last and that express their actual tastes and personality - the exact inverse of the fashion industry.

Guys, please be polite to each other.
I think no one from us has "the truth copyright" you know.

I have enough pictures scattered about this message board to show I have too many styles to count. As for where I shop, Kohl's comes second to local thrift stores and Nordstrom comes in third.

I buy what fits. Okay okay I'll tell more. I'm hard to shop for. I am a brand whore when it comes to jeans. I wear only one brand and that really cause that's the brand that fits me (it's Levi's btw). Other than that I buy what looks good. I do have quirks though like I'll wear long sleeve button up shirts but not short sleeve ones yet I'll wear short sleeve tee shirts but not long sleeve tee shirts. I hate turtle necks sweaters and sweat shirts.I don't wear shorts even in summer. I don't own a pair. It's jeans all year long. I don't like things really big one me. Comfortable is what I wear but if it's a formal thing I'll wear uncomfortable for the occasion. When it comes to formal I'm more about looks and less about comfort. Anyways that's about it.
