Me, too! Whether they need it or not!

Even if you did, I doubt you'd get nearly the level of heckling that somebody in a Browns, Ravens, Bengals, Cowboys, Patriots, Raiders, Eagles or Seahawks outfit would.

I've been thinking this is THE worst dressed city I've ever been to, I'm surprised it's the third. I feel out of place when I'm outside of my house, I get weird looks like I don't belong.... I guess it's because I'm from NYC lol.

I also want to know if we are the only city where people wear those furry Ugh boots and ski vests in August and shorts in January?

I just wish some people would think about what they wear before they step out of the house or go to work.

We have casual dress and can get away with wearing jeans or a T shirt (unless the T shirt is offensive) and sports jerseys. I'm a T shirt and jeans (shorts in the summer, usually cargo) kind of guy and I think I look good. I'll even put on a dress shirt if I feel like it. But I have seen peopel who dress at the office like the either just rolled out of bed or like the are just going to or from the gym. Do these people really want to end up in one of those Walmart shopper emails???

Hey, there are a lot of advantages to the slob look. You never have to worry about buying a whole new wardrobe because your clothes went out of style. So, more money for ice cream. If you spill ice cream on your shirt, you can recycle your shirt to wash your car. And aren't we all supposed to be in favor of recycling?

Ges to much Black and Gold.

Pittsburgh does have their own Fashionweek which is interesting. They are trying to improve the citys fashion image.

Meth Lab Formal.
Wow, I looked at the top four and it is pretty good company. I was assuming I was going to see Cleveland and Buffalo, not NYC and LA. I think Pittsburgh is the worst dressed city. DC is one of the best dressed and they are only 4 hours away.

Interestingly, the article talked about people in Boulder, CO wearing Ugg boots in the summer. I have never seen that, and I work in a pediatrician's office where most of the parents are 20-30somethings.
