Jeans and a suit jacket.

[DTS]

Walking to work today my work mate Ben spotted a bloke wearing jeans and a suit jacket as a sort of fashion item. "****" were Bens first words (Not in a sexual way - he was saying the bloke was a tosser).

Now I think this combo can look ok. My mate Fist has sported it once or twice and I thought it looked alright. Ben however says this is a fashion No No.

Thoughts please.

Can look ok, depends on the type of jacket.
If it's a linen suit jacket with the sleeves rolled up a la Miami Vice then that's a big no-no!

 

[Davros]

aka. the Clarkson look

 

[Pubey]

a grey suit jacket with decent jeans and a white shirt looks money IMO

 

[Kent Shrimper]

This is a combo that does loook good on some people, one that i have never been bold enough to give a go to.

 

[Andy_Shrimp]

Its a No, No,No and NO!!!!!!!!!! from me - its not big and not clever and also (imo) you look a to$$er

 

[Slipperduke]

Uh-oh.....that's what I'm wearing today.

Was it being worn with trainers or shoes? I think with shoes it looks a bit pretenscious, wannabe country club, but with trainers can look good on right people.

I've got a black suit jacket, old and shabby, on top of a white t-shirt with a picture of Ming the Merciless on. I'm wearing blue jeans, ripped at the hem from age, not design, and slightly flared at the bottom. Oh, and brown trainers.

Am I wedged tight in 2004?

Looks ok on some people although I find its usually the posy blokes that love themselves who go for this outfit - you know the ones, have to look in every mirror at themself, sunbeds, own a pair of hair straightners etc etc. However, have seen David Beckham wear this combo and he 100% pulls it off but he could wear anything and look good IMO

*gasps in horror*

I do not use a sunbed!

Sounds OK to me.
Similarly on a fashion theme, what is it with this latest "trend" of everything has to have some stupid form of dodgy graffiti on it? If I wanted to look like I'd been tagged by some spotty oik with a spraycan I'd adopt Buddhism and declare my wish to be reincarnated as a London Underground carriage!

Brave mate, and hows it looking in your opinion?

 

[GrimmRobes]

The Strokes pull it off, maybe because their clothes generally look quite shabby and they have good hair. Most others get it wrong and it just looks tragic - Clarkson and his mates in particular, but also boy band types who wear designer jeans/jacket rather than the thrift store look of The Strokes - utter *****. I think it's a look that's best avoided really.

 

[Jonny_Stokes]

Wholly in favour, especially if it's been a while since getting my Barnet trimmed.

J_S - there's a few people dressed like this in the office today. I think you'll find they look like w@nkers.

More like 1988 with that mullet. Are you Waddle in disguise?

:finger:

Very much depends on the situation in which it is being worn
