I don’t care much for fashion. My own dress sense stalled out somewhere between the late 90s and early 2000s, arguably not so much because I liked the fashion particularly, but because there was more unisex and simple clothing, and in some cases more comfortable. I don’t like skirts much, or dresses. I hate high heels. If left to my own devices I’d like to wear jeans that aren’t super tight, and definitely non the ones that are so tight around the ankles that it’s nearly impossible to get your foot through them without twisting an ankle. They’d have a bit of stretch in them. I also really miss proper skate shoes because they were comfy and I liked the style. I don’t mind the look of Chuck Taylors, but they aren’t the most comfortable footwear, and the tall kind are a pain to put on, so they’re not my favourite. I like simple t-shirts, and nothing beats a nice soft hoodie or fleece zip-up, I don’t care if it’s not pretty. I guess at the end of the day I’m very much comfort and practicality over fashion. I want something that’s not too tight, that has comfortable fabric, that isn’t squeezing my body anywhere (*shudder* turtlenecks *shudder*), and that MUST HAVE functional pockets large enough to actually put something useful into. Basically I want to be sartorially indistinguishable from a teenaged boy from the skateboard era. That’s my milieu.
What about you guys? Anyone else out there who just wants clothes that feel good enough that you can become unaware of their existence while you’re doing something else? Anyone else a fan of fleece and have a strong distaste for turtlenecks?
