It's not about the popular thing. When people carry one million electronics, good luck with shoving them into your side pockets.
DH, a very snappy dresser, carries a backpack every where he goes. Electronics, books (if current book isn't on the Kindle) camera(s) and lenses, bottle of water, energy bars.
Very handy whan I'm too lazy to carry a large purse.
Is it hard to date someone who has no fashion sense?
I think for women its easier to date a guy with no sense of style. For us men, a woman with a sense of style is almost manditory (for me anyway). Arent you in Southern California like I am? I think its different for us. Most women here do have a sense of style and the ones who dont you can pretty much guarantee they are transplants from other parts of the country.
Thinking back to every woman I have dated, one thing they all had in common (other than great firm/fit/round/bubbly/perfectly shapped a$$es) was that they ALL had a certain sense of fashion style. When I met my wife, who worked an office job, she had a LOT of Ralph Lauren business suits (jacke and skirts) and she looked AMAZING!! For day way, it was not necessarily name brand stuff all the time, but she just had a style that even other women would comment on. Sure there were the Prada jeans, Bebe stuff etc. but she just knew how to put it all together. Its great.
Me neither. I like it on women. All stuff I'm expressing here are male targeted. Jeans on men means blue collar worker (the miner, the construction guy, the plumber, the NASCAR loving Himalayabilly, the amigo etc). And it's set in my mind since my youth and I have a mental block changing that perception. I don't mind wearing them once in a blue moon, but it will never be a part of my personality. I'd rather be a guy in amazing regular pants and a shirt
My hubby's a no-collar no-worker. Stay at home dad, he is.

If it works for you, it works for you. If I saw something like that on Mr. Mordio, I might die of laughter. I find that he and I have this thing where most nice and fashionable clothes look like "dress-up" clothes on us.

Mine was purchased for conventions - as many costumes I wear have no pockets. My badge and everything is in/on the purse, so I just take it off for pictures and voila.

They are not fashion ornaments, but who said I can't improvise. I was supposed to wear it only on important days, but I wear it at times, with rich results. Adds to my fashion parade
Just for this, I must craft a Metal Man bracelet. :3 ... After my next con.

It works very well for you, indeed.

Well, it depends on my audience. If it were a lovely lady, I'd be talking about the intricate designs on her blouse and how adorable it is

Chamy, my DH has spent his career on film crews. Jeans are pretty much the norm. Lots and lots and lots of black because reflection is not a good thing. He rarely wears "good" clothes to work for a variety of reasons: out in the middle of nowhere, crawling around on his knees getting the shot and plugging stuff in, comfort. He's big on comfort because the hours can be loooong.
Oh, and I LOVE the silver bracelet! Someday we need to talk watches.

Ok, I'll take that back.
I actually have that bias against jeans primarily becoz I never wear them. Otherwise, I'm just BSing
My biggest pet peeve is dudes coming to work in jeans, sometimes torn and tattered, and it's become the modus operandi of posers "acting" to be "cool". Why can't they come about in dress pants I hate casual Friday. That had a huge influence on my general perception on men in jeans.
I put some pictures up on flickr. If you navigate past the first two pictures, there's me in my most beloved Abercrombie Tee. I dunno, I just love it. It makes me feel 5 years younger Don't tell the importer's wife

What would you say for my new Vineyard Vines pinkish red shorts. I asked the lady twice if hetero men can wear that. She scoffed, "Oh come on.... Honey you'll look great in it"

Most of the time, the bag just has my wallet and phone and I don't actually need the bag for it. Yet I carry it around for "the effect"

It's my only and best ornament. Got latin scripture engravings on it. My mother customized it when she made it for me. Almost everyone notices the kaap first and foremost. But actually, she made it as per tradition, coz that's what moms do when a father dies back in the old country. It's a shame I use it for a fashion statement

You have quite the style. I'm impressed It's fitting you moderate this board, milady.
I detest that look. Spend good money on pre-torn jeans? Really?
(Not that anybody cares, lol, but I hate it.)
And add jeans that fade to that list and textured ones. Bleah!
If I ever wear jeans, it will be black. And I'd have to sport some shoe from K-Swiss from the Yigal Arouzel collection. Sadly, that link has disappeared from the K-Swiss website.
