Is ALL of Denver metro area "casual" and hipster influenced? (Boulder: high school, club)

[sammy87]

It's not just in CO. People dress more cas everywhere. Ive seen pics of dudes going to broadways plays in t shirts. For the most part I don't care, I'm usually running errands and hitting the gym same trip. But going to a nice dinner or a show...yeah I dress up. I hate going to an expensive dinner maybe anniversary and theres a dude with a baseball hat on backwards in the bar, or the theater.


I see kids with blue/pink hair, they look like idiots.

Just because someone is dressed in shorts, T-shirt and Tevas or Docs, rather than pressed khakis and a polo, doesn't mean they are dirty. Hair color and ink also is not an indication of cleanliness.

Yeah, I was a bit confused at first, but after getting a bit further into the discussion I'm thinking the O.P. perhaps should have just worded it as:

"Where can I hang around in the Denver area that is overwhelmingly WASP-y people?"

To that I say, try The Hamptons... not that there's Denver ones. The New York ones. Most places in America aren't overwhelmingly WASP-y anymore. Thank the cosmos, IMO.

If you were to say that about any other demographic its considered racists.

HUH? What does being a WASP have to do with dressing up? In my post, I was talking about my Jewish mother and grandmother! It's an East Coast thing, not a WASP thing

That might be what the O.P. is getting at. I think it's a bit more specific than just the race part, though. I dunno, I'm just speculating here. I can't quite tell if she wants to be around bleeding-edge high couture fashion (which actually gets a bit funky fashion-wise), or laxbro trust fundies.

You're not the O.P.

Ironically Boulder is closer to the mountains but I find people have a bit more fashion sense than people in Denver. There are a lot of transplants from the coasts, whereas Denver is mostly midwestern transplants.

Denver really is a blu-collar town for the most part.

Anyone complaining about the Denver dress code seriously needs to travel more. This is no NYC or LA, but there are plenty of cities that dress far far worse.

I live in Boulder and work in Denver. There is no difference in how people dress.
In fact, let me revise one of my previous posts. "Everybody in Denver is carrying a backpack. Especially, if they are on a bus from Boulder".

I hope that you are making sure they stay off your lawn.
