Orlando shooting :(

I'm from Georgia and Florida so I know humidity and heat. It's why we invented seersucker.
Obviously I was speaking of public - walking dogs, and doing shit where you aren't going out in "public" are exempt.
Anyone who is not 50+ lawyer looks like a complete ass wearing seersucker. I'll stick to shorts for most occasions outside the office
Moving on - are chrome lug nuts on steelies appropriate?
Are you a muslim? You seem to get offended quite easily. What would be appropriate attire for a woman? A burka?
It's been about 10 years since I've been to Butte, but I don't remember it being a super conservative place. Good Lord, whatever you do don't come to Seattle. Your head might explode with all of the poor fashion choices on display here. Nearly every woman walking around on the streets is wearing yoga pants and you just might see a man wearing a kilt or skinny jeans.
Three piece linen suit? Who are you? Roger Moore?
I'm not offended, just judgmental.
We used to give a shit about how we looked. Hell I've seen photos of miners a mile deep digging copper wearing vests and ties, and they'd damn sure put their jackets back on once above ground.
It is impossible to see a man wearing skinny jeans. Boy child maybe.
I was only 30 at the time, but it got me a free upgrade to First Class - ahead of the waiting list, so I'll take it. Plus chicks dig it. Sure they'll fuck a guy wearing cargo shorts and backwards hats, but they'll be thinking about the well dressed guy they saw at the airport.
If I knew of any other lug nuts that fit my Nato rims I'd damn sure ditch the chrome capped ones.
Only on slightly overweight Moms in their mid-thirties - matched with a tank top with no bra of course.
Another one of my pet peeves. How in the hell does a a grown ass man wear a shirt with another man's name on the back of it?

LOL, so much fashion advice.
AbnMike - sure a proper attire is better than shorts and flip-flops. But... everything must have its place. You had a luxury of sporting full formal attire at a perfectly air-conditioned airport - but seeing people clothed like this and dripping with sweat at the curb at the terminal in SAN or LAX is just sad. The miners you are talking about were used to all temperatures outdoors - few people are now.
What does crack me up is SoCal people wearing barely more than shorts, t-shirt, and flip-flops, on the East Coast flights in winter.

Those are plain old shorts.
The difference is that springtime for us begins the first day it is 20+ and sunny.
Yeah, seriously...
The main purposes of clothing are to provide non-nudity and physical comfort in a certain environment.
The ancillary purposes are facilitating access to the genitalia of an object of affection, or facilitating access the bank account of a prospective employer.
Anything beyond that is masturbating your, or someone elses, ego.
Well sure, if some of you have only made in evolutionary stages to right past the point where you are aware that nakedness is shameful or something.
I mean who would even want to wet their dipstick in the hole of a chick who'd fuck a guy who wore a backwards hat to a restaurant, or a t-shirt that proclaimed his love of an energy drink?
(You guys seem way more offended than I do, I'm just fucking with you (though I am a snappy dresser).
I blame it all on the rise of the "cool grandma" Grandmas used to instill standards: dressing for dinner, Sunday best, hats off inside, elbows off the table, etc. With the rise of the "cool grandma" all that shit went out the window and we very quickly (I'd say the 60s were the last era when people truly cared about how they looked and dressed up for vacations instead of packing every beer tank top and pair of cargo shorts they could find) resorted back to apes.
Except the wealthy - not the rich, but wealthy - they still wear coats and ties to dinner and pack outfits appropriate to occasions. And run shit.
As far as the above comment and Butte - hell most of these fuckers wear jean shorts down to mid calf, dark socks pulled up to meet them, black unlaced hi-top tennis shoes, huge black t-shirts proclaiming their masturbatory fantasies for a metal band or Monster energy drink, baseball caps with flat bills and stickers turned to the side, and have perfected their gangsta-walk.
Of course they're all smoking meth and would shit themselves if dropped off in an inner city with true gangsters, but I digress.
I dont think people have no care whatsoever for how they look. Its just that once you have an in-house sexual partner that you like and steady income you realize, "why the fuck do I need to go above and beyond with my dress code just to 'impress' a bunch of random strangers, whom I ignore anyway, as I go about my day?"
And why do they do that even though they, of all people, dont have to?
Ego masturbation for them and their snooty peers.
So before this recent generation people didn't have in-house sexual partners and steady incomes?
Of course they did - and they still dressed up. Try again....
Butte sounds awesome. I guess I'm glad that I live on an island of 20k people where business casual is the most formal you'll ever see. Even the most conservative place on the island (church) might only have a few old timers who wear ties, but those people are only a few years from being six feet under.
It really is a geographic thing. Nobody gets dressed up in Seattle, not Jeff Bezos, not Bill Gates, nobody. If you go to the fanciest places in Seattle (Canlis or The Herbfarm), not a single person under 60 will be wearing a suit and tie. You might see some poor schmuck from the east coast who is here on business who wearing a suit, but you can tell from a mile away that they aren't locals.
Dress like Colonel Sanders and get first class priority - or - wear Monster energy shirts and cargo shorts exclusively. No in between. Got it. In all of this you have to realize chrome lugs with steelies are like wearing Chuck Taylor's with your much acclaimed seersucker suit.
I've gotta ask - what part of Florida are you from?
