I’m at a wedding or quinceñera or idk I haven’t checked. Point is I had to do something I loath, dressing nice.

Mainly, wearing a belt! ¿Porque? Because while standing up, all is good. Once I sit down, all the lard that is my belly folds over the buckle and bothers me sooooo much.

Solution, loose weight, exercise, do something for my heath for once damn it invent a type of basketball shorts/dress pants hybrid.

So OPPO, do you like dressing up nice, shopping, going to nice events?

I like to look good when i go out with people (parents excluded). I hate dressing up in the sense of dress pants, tie, jacket, etc

No. I don't even like polo shirts.

T-shirt and jeans is for work and play. But a belt is a must, 29” waist pants still sag if I don't have one.

On the bright side we went apple picking. Now I has pie.

A collar and tie is standard for me most days at work, so it’s never really bothered me. Shopping? Meh. Nice events? Depends.

Yes to all, specially if the suit is tailored.

Like wearing a suit. Love shopping but loathe browsing; when I shop, I’m a man on a mission. Fancy events are cool as long as my squad (read: family) is with me.

You should try out suspenders. They work better for bigger dudes, and no one can even tell if you are wearing your jacket.

I like dressing nice and always make an effort. There is nothing like a good pair of Oxford shoes, a nice pair of trousers and a good watch (other clothing too of course.

Though I do generally try to look smart wearing my Magnum Stealth 8.0 zip boots, 5.11 covert trousers, 5.11 black belt and work shirt. If done correctly look smart and doesn’t draw attention and simply blend in with everyone.

Shopping I do on the Internet and cloths I usually source from police and military outlets for durability (no not camo stuff).

I don’t like big events as I generally feel awkward around people and rather not be there so you’ll usually find me outside with some nice cigars and very large Irish Whiskey.

I do like dressing nice, but only if I have to. Otherwise I mainly wear t-shirts and streetwear shoes.

Shopping is something I rarely do but enjoy doing only by myself. And nice events are okay, as long as they are once every few months.

I know how you feel. I’ve been spending a lot of time in front of the computer whilst at the library and that gut pressing into the belt buckle is driving me crazy. It’s not so bad if I just tuck in my shirt, but when wearing a loose Hawaiian shirt that really isn’t an option. Perhaps if I had pants that were a little tighter it wouldn’t be a problem since I could just forego the belt.

As I get older, those tacky polyester Sansabelt slacks my grandpa wore make a whole lotta sense...

Shopping alone helps big time. In and out like a porn star.

Lol!!!! True true. For me unfortunately, my pants are tight PLUS a belt.

Well, as I put on the pounds I found a thrift store where I can get decent stuff on Sundays for $0.50/item, and that’s less trouble than actually losing the weight. If I do drop some pounds, and unemployment may just do that for me, I’ll have some smaller clothes to fit into...

Suspenders are the answer. Room to move, classy, comfortable.

I don’t understand the porn star part, but yes. When I need something to add to the wardrobe it’s quite soothing as I go during low traffic hours.

That’s the b3st time. Sometimes there is just too many people and cars at these stores

10/11/2015 at 02:27

The thrift store by me are getting too expensive believe it or not. I used to have some good spots but now it’s down to maybe 2.

I have plenty of smaller stuff that might come in handy since we are trying to save cash and cheap easy lunches will be more common.

Sorry. I thought many in the U.S. would know 5.11 Tactical as it’s a U.S. brand but then as I type this that’s like saying because I’m British I must know The Queen. My apologise.

The 5.11 Tactical Covert Trousers are a double stitched hard wearing regular looking trouser with two hidden pockets (one in each trouser leg) like combat trousers but very discreet and a hidden expandable area in the waist to allow better ease of motion. (Though I wear black).

Kinja'd!!!

These Magnum Stealth 8.0 side zip boots are my regular footwear.

(I’ve worn Magnum boots for near 20 years and great for long periods on your feet as reduce foot fatigue greatly).

If your pants (or even jeans) stay up without a belt (mostly), they are not the correct size. Tight jeans don’t look good on anyone.

Well fitted jeans (no holes) on the other hand, those are great. Pair with a bright white, good quality tee, and you have a solid base for layering for dress up. Swap the jeans for trousers and you are set for most events that don’t require a suit or formal dress, as a sport coat can layer with trousers.

And yes, I do Luke to dress nicely because it means that I am going somewhere/doing something.

I must be crazy. I love dressing nicely. Half the time I wear a nice ling sleeve button down tucked into a good pair of jeans or khakis to school. I hardly ever wear shorts.

Shopping is both fun and really frustrating. It all depends on how the first store goes, if I can’t find anything I like its usually downhill for me. Same if I try a few things on and nothing fits right.

Funktheduck > EL_ULY

I like the way I look dressed up. I don't like being dressed up because I have to be careful and not mess up something and it's more restrictive than my normal attire.

I hate dressing up. One of the things I love about the school district I work in, is I get to wear jeans every single day. I would’ve been fired for that at my last district.

That said, belts are a must for me. Even though I’m fat, I have no hips. I can’t leave the house without a belton, or whatever pants/shorts I’m wearing fall off nearly instantly.

I wear a belt with an old school style buckle (read:not huge dinner plate size but not always the smallest depending on which one it is) just about every single day. As far as fancy goes, that’s a rare occasion but I do have clothes geared more towards that. Usually dressing nice for me means I put on nice jeans and a polo shirt, as opposed to my usual seen-better-days jeans and a t-shirt. And you can pretty much count on me always wearing cowboy boots if I’m wearing jeans (I have a fancy black pair I save for formal occasions, but I have a pair or two that get worn on a daily basis)

That’s cool that they let you.

From my boobs up i’m normal size as is from hlaf my thighs down. But everything in between is huge lol. My pants are always snug. That’s why for me, belts are the devil

Oh indeed. My wife wants me to go on a shopping spree now because she loves seeing me all nice and shiny. I just can’t do it. It doesn’t feels right. Even when I was single.

10/11/2015 at 17:56

Welp that seems to be what i figured when i made this post. I predicted the younger OPPO’s like yo go the the mall or store and give any thought to how they dress. Nailed it lol :] Nothing qrong with that, just glad to know that all of my fellow old and aging farts here share the same feeling about it as I do.

My problem is that my wife is super young and loves when I’m all nice and shiny. She want to see that more but I just can’t. It doesn’t feel right to me

Don’t worry. One of my best friends doesn’t even own a pair of jeans because he hates them so much. He wears t shirts with stains and even a few holes in them lol

I do overdress but hey I like it... I know it’s not for everyone. In weird in a lot of ways ;)
