But this is perfect distraction from that fact! You simply must give it a whirl! Your kids will either love you for it, or get as far away from you as possible in shame - either way, you win!

So when you register this car what color do you put down that it is?

8

Oh, I get to share a bit of my useless knowledge! The rear quarter panel and roof is the original body color and used for registration. In this example, that's a yellow Harlequin.

7

It was definitely something different in a time when cars were mostly silver-colored :)

5

Damn, i was just gonna say: the fact that i don't own a opel harlequin is stopping me

Budget and skill. In reality a bona fide attempt from me would probably end up more like this:

Me being a man. So clothes shops go "you will wear grey, maybe black, some blue and fugly green. Go on, chop-chop"

It's such a struggle to find a variety of colourful clothes for guys :(

5

Right? Even just typing "mens clothes" in a search engine brings up every color you could want.

I'm a man, I buy all my clothes online and don't let anyone tell me what I should or should not wear. I'm not here to fit some preconceived stereotypes,or conform to expectations.

Stores sell "mens" nail polish in camo colors, but guess what they will let men buy the pretty colors as well, and they work just as well on male nails as female.

Dress how you want.

5

Is it sad my brain saw "Nail polish in camo colours" and immediately thought of tartan paint, wondering how they got the colours to not immediately mix.

5

I don't desire to look like a child ate a whole pack of crayon and then threw up on me?

10

I work from home, so I'd just be sitting in this colorful weird outfit and showing it to my dog and cats.

I live in a place with short and mild winters, so I can only realistically wear that many layers in two separate weeks where it gets freezing. I do wear similar colorful stuff but only as a second layer (jacket, hoodie, or sweater).

8

thank you

I love layers but live in a place where I put all my jackets away for nine months out of the year. Dressing like this would be a health hazard

3

Looks like a Ross store exploded in 1988.

And the only thing keeping me from dressing like that is that I do not own any of those articles of clothing.

8

I can't afford to own that many clothes. That fanny pack alone could buy me a thousand pairs of socks at the dollar tree. Probably a few dollar trees. I would be surprised if one store alone had enough socks stocked. I could change my socks 3 times a day for a year or once a day for 3 years and never have to wash any socks.

Not for everyone but extroverts and avant-garde hyper-creatives in their 20s and 30s, slim at up to 60kg.

I would totally wear that jacket but not the rest. I’m too thick to pull off skin tight pants (and they’re super uncomfortable for me) but I love the jacket!

What is going on at the crotch here? It looks like she has a designer codpiece. Love the hair color/lipstick combo.

6

Yeah unfortunately I had to leave the period between 1986-1994 but let me tell you, it was fucking awesome

3

I'd wear it if the rest of my outfit was more muted. this is as Frasier would put it "eclectic"

2

That's funny, I know that it is but I still quite like it. Funny how human brains work.

2

I would absolutely rock the Lego jacket by itself (and do own a color-block jacket) and the lipstick, but not in that specific outfit combination.

Edit: if anyone is looking for a blue lipstick, this is the one I would get (although it’s darker than the one in the pic).

5

Honestly, the visible branding. I don’t wear visible branding or any sort of language or text on my clothes. No logos, no words, no designs. Just outlandish cuts and interesting style ideas, all without paying to sell someone else’s product.

I am an adult and I understand that that whole "look" now was engineered right under our noses by LVMH. I say this as someone who used to obsessively check KanyeToThe, Superfuture, rawrdenim. I was effay and I battled in those r/streetwear WDYWT? Threads to get enough karma to make my own posts

Here's one that I don't think I ever shared anywhere. Only posting this because of how bad dated it is, probably 11 years ago. I was a broke, closetted, landlocked teen trying to impress internet strangers with a pizza-flipper wage.

TBH, I'm worried to post much more out of fear that a reverse image search will lead to an old forum account from the days that I overshared everything and I don't necessarily want that tied back here.

Understandable. Both fits look good tho. Don't need big money for a fire fit 👏

6

Good, but chasing the Gosha and Yeezy/FoG (not FOG, that shit came later and I remember when it was a Pacsun collab) looks way too hard.

I like to think I do a more natural-to-me look nowadays.

The first two's shirt and pants ensemble came from Salvation Army literally three days ago.

Pic 3 features Brooks Brothers Eliott pants, I love these things and have a few different colors.

#4 is with the Tarvas x BlackbirdSpyplane Moss Wanderers shoes. BBSP and their little "universe" of outlets and writers is pretty much my only source of modern style these days and I proseletyze others to do the same whenever I get the chance

My decade old Goodwill black leather belt appears in all three outfits and is on my personal 7 days a week

I like it, always been very fond of vibrant and saturated, almost neon-esque, colors. But for me it would be the same reason Im not expressing anything else about myself. Too afraid of the social aspect. Just afraid people would critizise, be disrespectful or any other bigoted comments im not sure how i would respond to. 

Man, if I didnt grow up getting screamed at I would be unstoppable 🙃

Not too late to unravel that thread a little bit and move in a direction that you want to. People change all the time. 💪

Thank you, last few years, especially last one, has been very eye opening since I actually started seeing a therapist. We're getting somewhere, atleast 😅

3

I would, but I’m 5 ft so I think the big jacket would be like one of those full body pajamas.

3

I don't look good in that bright or clashing of colors. Also that lipstick is a few shades too bright for me

3

Only thing stopping me is a link to the jacket. Well maybe the price tag also, but I’d wear it for sure.

3

I can wear some interesting things as long as it conforms to a certain style. I wouldn't mind a bold, bright block color scheme, and I think the people with whom I work would enjoy it.

3

I need to try the clothes before I can buy them, and around here, stores don't offer any coloured clothes in adult sizes. You can dress in any colours you like, of course, as long as they are black, grey and beige.

Well, there still is sportswear, which comes in neon-yellow, neon-orange, neon-pink and bright blues to discourage drivers from crashing into you. Let's see if there is something there that doesn't scream tacky to me.

3

I love the jacket. I would love it over a black outfit but their must be color on the head. Maybe a colorful hat instead of colorful hair but the lipstick is good.

2

three reasons

No sponsorship from Benneton

and most imprtantly

80% of my clothes are soruced by my parter from the local Op Shop and we live in a religious conservative area (am a left wing aethiest), so no donations to buy there.

also, i tend to dress in some colourful clothes rather then drab grey and black but I'd feel odd cosplaying as a licorice allsort

This is AI most likely, but to answer your question, I would look like a rich kid, who tries to blend with other cool kids.
