You know you're getting old when what previously seemed attractive about a guy is now a turn-off. For example, watching the Fall Out Boy video for "I Don't Care" made me hate the vision of a man wearing eyeliner and skinny jeans. The band members were running around acting like a bunch of idiots (albeit, on purpose) while dressed like teenagers, even though they haven't been teens for what, like 10 years now? At least 29-year-old Pete Wentz is old enough to know. There is an age when angst and dressing like a punk become ridiculous, and I think it's somewhere just before the big 3-0. Ha, he's even a father now -- How stupid to go out looking like an immature jerk with a baby in tow. I guess dressing "cool" is part of the rock star life, even though I get the feeling these guys would be dressing the same whether in a band or working at McDonald's. All the time I see people who think shirking style in favor of trends makes them cool, only to wind up looking like a slacker. It's kind of sad.
No, to me a grown man should wear shirts that fit (ones with collars are a bonus), clean pants or jeans, and shoes that aren't necessarily made for skaterboarding. Also, what's up with always wearing hoodies? There is such thing as a jacket that doesn't have a hood attached. Men should know there is nothing wrong with wearing clean, classic, and classy attire.
And I'm aware of how snobbish I sound right now, but hey, I don't care either.
