This is an example of more dollars than sense. They look terrible and paid good money for the privilege.

[–] Monzcarro@feddit.uk 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

More pounds than sense.

I'm fairly certain that's New Street All Bar One in Birmingham. This is typical attire for tossers going out day drinking in Brum.

Also, these guys just look British. The short guy couldn't look more aggressively British if he was wearing the Union Jack and invading countries for their tea.

Also, I'm not sure these clothes cost too many pounds - lots of polyester there. No shade - I don't buy expensive clothes myself either.

That second guy is one fart away from a public nudity charge.

I’m not a complete fucking bellend.

[–] D_C@lemm.ee 12 points 10 months ago

I'm at 89% on the bellend-o-meter myself at the moment, I'm afraid that if I go over 90% I'll have to dress like them!!

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 41 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I don't think you should subject everyone in public to having to see the entire shape of your cock and balls in pants that are so tight you can't even walk in them.

[–] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.one 35 points 10 months ago

"What's preventing you from dressing like this?"

My moderate self esteem.

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 33 points 10 months ago

I can't stand tight clothes especially shirts. There are very few things more annoying and uncomfortable than a shirt that desperately wants to burrow into your armpit.

As for the pants I can't say I'd enjoy needing a changing partner:

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 29 points 10 months ago

What's preventing me? For one, actually having taste in clothing.

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 26 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I am not dressing for you. I am dressing for my own comfort and to satisfy legal requirements.

[–] Aganim@lemmy.world 23 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Men, what's preventing you to dress like this?

The fact that my girlfriend would die from laughter if I did.

[–] Wanpieserino@lemm.ee 8 points 10 months ago

Life insurance for her, buddy

[–] kn0wmad1c@programming.dev 22 points 10 months ago (5 children)

They've all got chicken legs

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 12 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Left guy is fine, I think. Proportional and his clothes fit. The ripped knees are questionable but w/e if he wants to tell us he's on his knees all day I won't judge.

Not wanting to look like Douchebag McDouchebagface is what's stopping people from looking like that.

[–] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 20 points 10 months ago

My nuts would never forgive me

[–] Trilobyte@feddit.uk 19 points 10 months ago

They almost look shrink wrapped

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 18 points 10 months ago

Also I try not to wear plastics.

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 17 points 10 months ago

Because I don't shop in the kids section.

[–] psud@aussie.zone 16 points 10 months ago
  • I prefer to wear socks
  • I used to be fat, so skin tight shirts don't look good on me
  • I like button up shirts
  • In cool weather when I wear long trousers, I prefer not to have my ankles frozen
  • In hot weather I'm keeping as much of my legs bare as available men's bottom wear allows

All in all I don't like that style. I knew a boy who liked that style as a youth, he was a arsehole

[–] PyroNeurosis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 10 months ago

I've managed to buy clothes since I left the eighth grade.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 16 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Walking in with my pants rolled up to mid-calf and the knees busted out like I've been giving head at the local truck stop for the last three weeks. I've got a full head of hair, yet I insist on shaving everything but the crown. I absolutely cannot grow a beard, and I refuse to get a proper shave. I'm wearing a watch in the year 2025, purely to show off how much money I can throw at one of the only allowed men's accessories. Neck. Tattoos. There's a 50/50 chance I'm wearing socks.

The entire cast of the Jersey Shore is lining up to get my number. Everyone else is staying at the distance necessary not to smell the patchouli.

Dudes look like a still image for a gay fashion themed Sims 4 pack

[–] Bremmy@lemmy.ml 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The gays probably have better fashion sense

Give it about ten years and the popular style will pendulum back to fitted/tight clothing.

Just like it was before the current baggy trend and after the previous baggy trend, which was preceded by another tight trend, which was preceded by another baggy trend, and so on and so on

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 8 points 10 months ago

I wonder how much momentum there is in that pendulum?

I think it started swinging (at least in America) in the 30's. Between the scarcity of the depression and rationing during the war, fashions tended toward minimal. Then in the abundance of the 50's you got big puffy poodle skirts and zoot suits because we finally had a surplus.

Their arms are as big as their thigh. How can you even do that?

[–] cRazi_man@lemm.ee 59 points 10 months ago

By skipping leg day

The ability to move without squeaking.

[–] EySkibidiBabBab@feddit.dk 13 points 10 months ago
[–] PNW_Doug@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

Because I'm 55 years old and would—shockingly—even appear more of a buffoon than they?

Seems like a fairly good reason to me.

[–] BreadAndThread@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

They're all wearing leggings of assorted fabrics and styles.
