Why'd You Come In Here Looking Like That?: Not Enough Do's and Too Many Don'ts

I hate to say it, but Hawaiian shirts do have their place from time to time.

There are times when it's a complete no-no (tucked-in, for instance, is a big no-no) and no-one is suggesting wearing them at a wedding, funeral or with anything ironed, but they have their time and place.

Huh?

No, they have no place other than Hawaii and Hawaii doesn't even seriously sell them to anyone but bumpkins from the mainland on vacation.

Fashion is sticking to the rules and inventing new ones.

Style is knowing that the rules are there to be broken.

I'd rather be stylish than fashionable.

Then wear your Hawaiian shirt. Rock out with your clock out. It doesn't matter.

So far in surfing this forum, this is the most true statement I have come across.

Fashion can and does turn into a uniform of sorts. In an effort to be individuals, a large groups all start dressing in an "alternative" fashion until it isn't considerd cool or hip to dress another way.

In the particular city I live in, the Hipster and starving musician looks are the current rage. I mean, seriously? My business is in vintage tube audio equipment so I meet with many of these types daily.

If you arent wearing your hipster gear or starving musician costume, they simply dont consider you to be "in fashion".

And what looks to be an expensive watch.......Oh man how uncool YOU are!
