Well it finally happened, I've become a cargo shorts, flip flops, and band t-shirt guy.

nothing wrong with comfort over fashion.

Just-Ice3916@reddit

Good! Are we not way too fucking old to give even a percentage of a minuscule fraction of a shit what other people think about things like this, too? You enjoy!

I used to get all fancied up when I was younger and living in Boston. I just moved from Florida so I was completely clueless. Suede boots slushing around the city in a snowstorm? Seems like a smart idea! Nothing like a heeled suede boot drenched in slush on a cobblestone street in Jan with no gloves on. Your outfit is fine, bonus points for the Lou Reed shirt.

I’ve become a sweatpants woman.

I used to be a fashionista. Now my body hurts, I just want to be comfortable.

Welcome to the party pal

Neat_Potato3@reddit

I’ve been that guy since I was 17.

[-]

marshallkrich@reddit

15.... just don't have a flannel with it anymore.

[-]

StraightBudget8799@reddit

Need one! Winter plumage!

[-]

carlivar@reddit

Why not? Still got my forest green Eddie Bauer plaid flannel from 94

[-]

XXxxChuckxxXX@reddit

That’s a win that it still fits

[-]

marshallkrich@reddit

Because im in Georgia now, and it's 500 degrees.

[-]

carlivar@reddit

Good reason. SoCal here and 70's all month.

[-]

marshallkrich@reddit

I use to live in Nj/Philly and made sense then.

Britpop_Shoegazer@reddit

That is my husband. Usually a Ramones T-shirt.

[-]

kiwiboyus@reddit

I'll wear cargo shorts over having to wear a bum-bag. Are Men not allowed to have more stuff than fits in two pockets?

[-]

iamjustsyd@reddit

Somewhere in the late 90s we all moved on from making a statement to being comfortable. We didn't sell out, we cashed in.

[-]

BadEarly9278@reddit

As I read this I look down at myself.

Flip flops.

Brown cargo shorts with a few paint stains.

Then my favorite soda branded t-shirt that has some holes in it (18 year old favorite shirt).

If it matters, also microfiber boxer briefs, Hanes in black.

I guess yall are my peeps. What up B?

[-]

beaujolais98@reddit

Comfort rules, my man.

[-]

raleel@reddit

Just need more band shirts. Just got an additional one tonight.

[-]

maddog2271@reddit

I am that guy on summer weekends when it’s casual all the way. I am not that guy other times. I like deciding what guy to be based on social context.

[-]

Sunhammer01@reddit

You are missing out on Hawaiian shirts and linen shirts.

[-]

DaughterOLilith@reddit

Hawaiian shirts, cargo shorts and sandals is the summer uniform for most of the dudes at my church! 🤣

[-]

COVFEFE-4U@reddit

A fellow adventurer.

[-]

SushiGradePanda@reddit

Currently wearing a Hawaiian shirt.

[-]

Jonesy1966@reddit

I found myself in the same situation over the weekend! Incidentally, the band t-shirt was my original Cocteau Twins tee from the Heaven or Las Vegas tour

[-]

40wiggles@reddit

Jealous

[-]

MyTakeOnFalafels@reddit

I'm a 49 year old straight woman, and I just started dressing like this last summer. I couldn't be more comfortable. I've also added comic book t-shirts to the look.

[-]

Dramatic-Secret937@reddit

Get a pair of crocs to fully feel it

[-]

tooful@reddit

I just ordered my first pair of Birkenstocks.

[-]

JuliusSeizuresalad@reddit

Become? I’ve been living it for years

[-]

FrequentEmphasis2109@reddit

Need some black new balances and white socks too

[-]

Cautious_Buffalo6563@reddit

Or vice-versa

[-]

vette500@reddit

Rocking, black compression socks and 608's.

You’re right, that’s even better and something I can strive for

What took you so long?

[-]

Due-World4235@reddit

Nothing wrong with band t-shirts, but the rest gotta go asap

[-]

mcache01@reddit

You’ll be fine .. just don’t wear crocs

[-]

Status_Silver_5114@reddit

The lesbians welcome you to the club.

[-]

nelgallan@reddit

He said flips, not birks 😀

[-]

Status_Silver_5114@reddit

We haven’t worn birks since the 80s. The teenagers have recently reclaimed the birks anyway. Oofahs or tevas thanks very much.

[-]

nelgallan@reddit

I'll never give up my tevas. I'll just keep switching stereotypes until I'm buried in them.

[-]

MountainCry9194@reddit

I always thought Tevas were boomer gear (just add socks).

[-]

life-is-thunder@reddit

LOL! Yeah. I've been dressing like this for years.

[-]

Natural_King2704@reddit

I never stopped being that guy. Just add the puka shell necklace

[-]

MyriVerse2@reddit

You're a few decades late on that.

[-]

Abranda44@reddit

I’ve been there since 1995 (girl version). Leggings, band t-shirt/tank top, birks and flannel. Comfy, everything goes with everything else, and the tees are great convo starters 🤷‍♀️.

One of these days I’ll grow up, but not today.

[-]

QuesoChef@reddit

Same. But my ultimate comfort is sweats. Non-banded ankles.

[-]

Abranda44@reddit

Yesss!!

[-]

discussatron@reddit

Always have been.

/looks down

'Cept today it's a Ford musclecars shirt.

[-]

yoursweetbaboo@reddit

not another one. Most men who dress this way look like they’ve washed up from a shipwreck.

[-]

COVFEFE-4U@reddit

Meh. Old, married, and not trying to impress anyone. Comfort above all else.

[-]

QuesoChef@reddit

Meh. Old, unmarried, and not trying to impress anyone. Comfort above all else.

[-]

bozoskeleton@reddit (OP)

I agree. I'm usually in dark jeans, some nice boots, but even though I live in what's supposed to be cool (upper peninsula of Michigan), it's just so damn humid and hot right now, I gave up.

Better than basketball shorts.

DGAFometer finally correctly calibrated.

[-]

Sensitive_Note1139@reddit

Don't wear socks, striped shirts with the outfit or the shorts pulled up to your pecs and you're fine. Comfy clothes are the thing these days.

Carpenter shorts; Johnny Cash T, and Birks for me ATM

Hey it's better than beige dress shorts, loafers and a tucked in golf shirt any day.

[-]

nixtarx@reddit

Just now?

[-]

yodamastertampa@reddit

I dont wear cargos anymore but wear board shorts, flip flops, and t shirts. Also, live in Florida. I get these board shorts that are half swimming trunks half nice shorts. Work out well because I can just jump in my pool if I get hot.
