For the past 14 years fashion was a non-issue for me because I lived in a place that was so unbelievable hot, even at night, that it was an exercise in futility to ever try to wear anything other than board shorts and a single / vest / wife-beater. Everyone was always wearing precisely this and sitting near fan in the shade because doing otherwise would result in you being a sweaty mess in about 13 seconds.
Today, I went to one of Chiang Mai's largest shopping emporiums in the hopes of getting a few shirts or just really anything that help out my very t-shirt-heavy wardrobe.
If I wore this and people didn't laugh at me I would think something was wrong with them. I mean, is this really what passes as fashion today?
I don't even know what this look is trying to portray... something along the lines of "you better not mess with me because my dad is a lawyer."
I also hate brands. I have watched some documentaries about the insane amount of money that people are spending on SUPREME shirts and hats and what not and I shake my head with disbelief. I liked the look of one shop only to discover that everything in the store is just one big advertisement for the brand.
I have never even heard of Super Dry. Is this a popular thing? I would never wear this because I always think people that wear stuff that is just announcing how much extra money they spent on a shirt is dumb (these were near $50 and not made of any sort of special material.)
I guess you could say that I just don't get it. Maybe it is because I am older and have a hard time justifying any clothing that is expensive for not particular reason. I spend good money on athletic gear because that stuff is actually made of much better materials to help you not get so hot or it is a breathable material.
If you ever see me wearing anything in the above pictures you will know that I have lost my mind and you can go ahead and have me committed.
if this was free, i still wouldn't wear it
