You need to google etines so you will know what they look like.

How do you not wear shorts?  Are you embarassed of your legs?  I'd never put on pants if I could help it.

No, I just don't usually wear them. Dunno why.

Haha, Duke, you're so out of touch.

I'm out of touch because I don't wear skateboard shoes?

There's actually a noticeable clothing difference in Michigan between the eastern and western parts of the state. The western part of the state always dresses well. In their polo's and khaki's and stuff. Us in the east are just satisfied in our baggy jeans and American Eagle shirts.

I, personally, don't "dress up" much. Half the school-year I'm just satisfied scrubbing it.

East Michigan sounds like the way we dress here in Charleston. "Dressing up" is really big down here. You rarely see people in jeans and an american eagle shirt. American eagle is considered trash around these parts.

Haha...

Yeah, we're not much for fashion around this area most of the time. For example, right now I'm in gym shorts and a cut off t-shirt. It ventilates well.

My philosophy:  Comfort > Fashion.

[Countess Anya of the North Parish]

Nice philosophy.

[The Mikado]

Sadly, I find myself agreeing with AH Duke far more than I would like.

Yeah, pretty much. Even I wear skateboarder shoes. I love these things.

I'm comfortable in my flip-flops and my sneakers.

I just wore out a pair of Etnies last year.  And I replaced them with a pair of Pumas since I'm such a goddamned trend whore.

Most of the time, I just wear running shoes because I hate keeping a separate pair in my gym bag.  I got chewed out a couple times in '04 by Romney staffers for wearing sneakers with my suit.

[Countess Anya of the North Parish]

lol that is funny I also know someone who is the same way.

I'll probably buy a pair of Pumas when my current pair of sneakers have seen their last days. It will be bitter sweet. I'll buy Puma since I have enough of their stuff now anyway. Why is that?

Because they do all of the clothing and gear for the Italian team, of course.  

[Ban my account ffs!]

I think we have the opposite views of those in the south when it comes to clothing.  Because of our very inhospitable weather for much of the year, function takes precedence over style.

So we just extrapolated this to our general outlook on clothing.

People wear shorts and t-shirts as much as possible because it's not something we get to do much.

Also, we don't look as much at clothes as a status symbol.  Everybody pretty much wore the same stuff in high school.

We just don't have the formal/informal culture here that the south has.  People here generally go by first name and it is very awkward to refer to somebody except teachers and Mr. or Mrs. something.

ITALY ROCKS!!!!!!!

[Kaine for Senate '18]

I'm a cartoon character: t-shirt and basketball shorts every day of the year, even in the middle of winter.

Why? That is just stupid Ben.

Because that's what I'm most comfortable in, and all I care about is comfort.

Uh...I guess that was directed at me. Thank you...? 

I wonder why you choose to say that now. You've responded to my posts in the past without mentioning Italy.
