i sometimes dress for the off (non) chance that one of the beautiful girls on the blue line will talk to me

I totally dress for men, which means, I wear a huge strap-on (over my clothes) to jobsites, to make sure they treat me like one of the boys.

OHMIGOD.

Hilarious.

snap lb....

I dress for my bike, my clothing is 90% dictated by if I'm riding it and what the weather is.
jeans are not baggy so I don't have to roll them to prevent grease stains.
shirts are layered so that I can easily control my body temp.
shoes are my old asics because I don't care that they're covered in dirt/salt.

i dress in the dark.

to keep warm....

to not show off my hairy butt..


to protect you

WHOA!

lb, breaking out the sarcastic wednesday crossover!

i wish i could wear the cool clothes women get to wear. i mean who doesn't want to wear a pair of crotchless....i mean chaps, yeah, chaps i wear on saturdays in the office.

Assless chaps worn by a guy named Berilac Broadbelt of Buckland...I'm swooning...

Sorry, farmer, to answer more seriously: Professionally, I dress for both men and women, I need to look fashionable enough that women will get it but pretty enough that men will too. And I also have to dress appropriately for jobsites, which often means mud. So most days I'm in clean new jeans, that fit well (ie work on my figure but aren't too tight), and boots, that I try to keep clean without much success.

I'm so happy I'm no longer working in an office that doesn't allow jeans!

on a more serious note, some women will dress for other women, but it's more to compete or show-off than anything else.

lately, i've been feeling guilty about my jeans + sweater routine.

but i don't really get paid enough to handle a drinking routine and a dressing-well routine.

that and the office is a step above tshirts and jeans.

The weather

i dress to the left

One day I was lamenting that I own "only work clothes." A co-worker advised me to shop for "going out clothes." I discovered she was right - a cool blouse totally works under a suit jacket, with jeans.

Plus it helps that one of our principals has a unique fashion sense. No one ever comes close to out-dressing her, which makes it fun for everyone.

i thought you were walking funny lb!

I'm with D-Fix. To protect you. So to answer the question, for you.

pixelwhore, may i ask are you a woman? Because I dress for my bike as well, which is why i only wore tight jeans ONCE riding in. It hurt. Bad. Lots of squeezing that I did not like.

I'm a woman and I dress for the fellas.....

lb, i can't stop laughing, it really must be a party at your house...

i never dress for women, since they prefer me being undressed.

randscraper:
I'm all man baby.
And my jeans are tight by my standards, not necessarily of others. I rock the Levi 511 daily and anything that is a 'slim' cut is tight. But when it gets to 20 degrees or lower and I'm riding home at 10pm I don't want to be rolling up a pants leg if I don't have to.

ok yeah we're on the same page. i wear boston tight i guess, but not brooklyn tight. that shit is insane.

and i've ruined so many good pants by the cuff coming undone.....

i'd be more curious if this thread title was "who do you undress for?"

Pixelwhore, I had to read your post above 3 times before I understood this sentence: "[...] anything that is a 'slim' is tight." At first I was thinking, yes, that IS the definition of slim.

im wearin a suit today but i havent shaved in a week.

I dress for Vado.

my inner beyonce

brer:
sorry about that, I could have worded it better I'm sure, but hey, they're jeans.

pixelwhore

you emo?

hell no!

meta, if I'm not mistaken, assless chaps are completely appropriate in all situations. They are the most diverse garment of clothing anyone could own. What goes good with assless chaps? Almost anything. The only thing that doesn't really jive with assless chaps would be underwear or pants that conceal the ass. Beyond that, assless chaps are a safe bet.


...Unless lb is wearing her strap on and then you might consider wearing kevlar boxers.

I dress for myself, my bike, my classmates, my professors, my coworkers, any students I have to face and any potential important people I have to meet. Which usually means I have a change of clothes and at least one change of jacket in my bag. I'm like a walking Swiss Army Knife, I can transform at any time.

I do not, however, dress for the people that see me while biking. They all think I'm a giant dork.

mdler: more like this:

n_____ yesterday i wore a polo paisley tie that is older than you are!!!

other Women

I dress to protect myself from embarrassing other men!

I make some of my own clothes. And try to sell them. So sometimes I dress to sell.

Like PixelWhore I dress for biking.

my office is on the site. i'm a guy. nuff said

now - when i go into the main office (manhattan) i get decked out with a button down.

and i do it for the girlies on the subway. and the streets, the deli, the restaurants, the laundromat. and on and on..

Aesthetic and purpose....

I dress for me and all the many delightful women I smile at on the street :-D

what, rfuller, are 'assless chaps'?!!? Kinky pants?
Sorry, I'm a Brit, so such items of clothing sound like they could only be found in Agent Provocateur ;-)

women of course, and the opposite to "who do you undress for"
