I thought it would be fun to launch a new thread on...threads. :grin2:
Specifically, mens' clothing: clothing and accessories that are classic, time proven, always in style, and sure to add cool to any man's look. Dressing well is not a destination but a journey...a journey that all of us TAM dudes should undergo with gusto.
I have been guilty of dressing poorly in the past...just grabbing the most convenient piece of garbage off the rack. I hate shopping at malls and stores, and the less time I spend in them the better. But I still like to look good. And since moving to a new city and new job, my desire to overhaul my wardrobe has reached critical mass. I need some new clothes badly, especially for summer.
Most of us guys don't like shopping, but nowadays, with all the on-line shopping opportunities available to us, we have less excuses to dress like Wal-Mart refugees. I want this to be a participatory thread series, and I expect you guys to interject with your opinions, ideas and any great buys you come across.
I want to concentrate on a different item with each thread, so I will number them Part 1, Part 2...etc.
Lets get busy. First stop: Sunglasses.
1. The Wayfarer
First designed by Ray Ban back in 1952, there have been many iterations of the classic Wayfarer since. I can think of no other style of sunglasses that is as classic, timeless and essentially cool as the Wayfarer. Bluesmen and mafiosos alike swear by them.
Classic 1952 Black frame/Green Lens
Maui Jim Kahoma
Tortoise Ray
Spy Helm
Oakley Frogskins
Standard RayBan wayfarers can be had from $80 to $150. You can find great deals and sales on them at Amazon. Spy, Oakley and Maui Jim have their own takes on the wayfarer style too.
The black frame / green lens types are the most classic, but I prefer the tortoise/brown lens wayfarers myself. Whatever you choose, you will have a classic piece of eyewear that will never go out of fashion when paired with the right clothes.
John Belushi will approve.
