I finally watched Inception over my Christmas vacation. A good movie. Very cool concept/story, well acted and super coolio effects. Not to spoil the end for anyone who hasn’t seen it, but I like to think: real.
But I think the thing I noticed and appreciated the most was that everyone was so well-dressed. I have to say, men look very nice when they are well-dressed. Suits, ties, vests, suspenders, french cuffs (BIG fan), etc. Yeah…I have to say it is my favorite look for men. I’m not saying they have to dress like Gordon Gekko all the time but it sure does look nice when they do :)
More people should simply dress better. And burn their pants with Juicy or Pink written on their butts, or even worse, with Ed Hardy designs all over them. Hate the slovenly look that is so prevalent now. That’s fine when you are at home, or exercising or a quick run to the grocery store. But not fine for out and about. Tacky. Pajama bottoms, a wife-beater and UGGs? I wear that at home. Comfy for sure. But come on. Out in public? It seems people just don’t care how they look anymore. Which I’d prefer to think over the idea that they actually think they look good when dressed in clothes that belong at home in bed, hang off their ass, squeeze their fat like a sausage casing or in some garish outfit one could only assume they picked up at the flea market as a joke.
I’m not saying you have to dress UP all the time. You can dress casually while still looking put together and presentable. And please, dressing for your age doesn’t mean you are old. It simply means you are not trying to desperately hang on to your youth via dressing from Forever 21. You will not be forever 21 physically (and hopefully mentally.) Get over it. 21 year-olds are generally kind of dumb anyway. Think back…you know it’s true.
Look at the pictures of some famous people – Sandra Bullock, Kate Winslet, Jennifer Aniston, Cate Blanchett, Taylor Swift, Reese Witherspoon. Different age brackets but they all dress well whether dressy or casual. But then look at Dina or Lindsay Lohan. Or Hulk Hogan’s ex-wife or daughter. Or *cringe* Paris Hilton or the cast from Jersey Shore. Money can’t buy class, but it should be able to buy decent clothes for crying out loud.
Go watch Inception and then maybe throw in Clueless to help get a clue. As Cher (in Clueless, not the frightening and garishly dressed singer) said…”So, OK. I don’t want to be a traitor to my generation and all, but I don’t get how guys dress today. I mean, c’mon, it looks like they just fell out of bed and put on some baggy pants, and take their greasy hair, Ew! And cover it up with a backwards cap and like, we’re expected to swoon? I don’t think so!”
