Hey ho guys (and girls),

I'm going out with my girlfriend tonight and since I still have a few hours and cannot decide what to wear, your advice would be greatly appreciated.

Here are my options:











It's no anniversary or occasion whatsoever, just regular saturday night. Which would you prefer, or are they all awful?

Image 1, casual enough, but not so casual that it looks like you didn't make an effort.

This is possibly the geekest thing I have ever seen...

And on that note, number 2...

I am fully aware of that, thank you
It's just that I was bored and have been trying to make that decision for about an hour now.

Personally, I'm not a fan of matching denim jackets to denim jeans: it seems too planned (though it's not lost on me that you are planning).

My two bits: red sweater (tucked in), lighter denim jacket, dark denim jeans, keep the glasses.

However, they all look good. Don't sweat it, and have a good time.

I vote for no.1. Off topic, but that furniture is really nice. I love the look of natural wood.

You should've made this a poll to spare us the embarassment of replying...

Number 2 is the most metrosexual of the 5, which is why I'd vote for number 1.

And if you wear glasses, wear glasses.

The white t-shirt in 2 is too much, if you're:

eating, it'll get plastered in grub
drinkng, it'll be a mess later
if you're sick, same thing
clubbing, it'll look blue under all that light.

have fun!

2 or 5. Stick with dark colors. I would also try to remain in the shadows wherever possible

Maybe start buying clothes that are, say, not made of denim?

Oh don't worry, I have tons of cloths that are not denim. You see that big cupboard right behind me on all that pictures (if you don't I wonder how you're readin' this )? It's full of clothes and only like 5% are denim.

Well anyhow, I personally think it's going to be either 1, 2 or the bright Jeans and the white shirt... we'll see but thanks for your help so far.

I personally like number 5, although for the love of God, wear the jeans from 3 or 4. MIX YOUR DENIMS. I should point out that number 2 is a good look,the open jacket over a white t-shirt is very slimming, but again, wear different jeans. The darker jacket is definitely preferred as it is a less common look.

Don't ask me about fashion, I'm wearing a south park t-shirt...
I'm just posting to say: You wear glasses?

I'm not making that up about the t-shirt either...

How many shirts are you wearing for goodness sake!?

OK some of those photos I'm not sure but it looks like you're wearing three shirts? That's nuts! 2 is acceptable, I almost always wear two, 1 is generally OK for most people, I just like the look of two, but 3? Anyway, I believe it is number 3 where you have a shirt that looks like it has a zipper and then you have another over top, from what I can tell that shirt looks to be the kind that you MIGHT wear something under, but never something over.

Layers can be good, but sometimes they can be bad. If I put a shirt over top of my fleece I will look weird and akward, that said I COULD put a t-shirt undermy fleece.

That said, denim jackets in general are ugly... man... no wonder the guys in dorm come to me for advice on how to dress.

She dresses you, doesn't she?

Yah Linux geeks, or PC geeks tend to dress really badly. All the ladies at Bible College are impressed with my hip style... sadly I don't have a six pack like just about every other guy here so they're not interested... poor chicken...
