Camo is fine, provided you served. I didn't, so I'm not gonna wear it. I don't wear short sleeve shirts, so it's easy to ignore Hawaiian shirts.

If you're in the woods hunting, hiking, whatever, why not camo? If you're going to the dentist... well, maybe not. Mowing the lawn? Sure. Bar mitzvah? I would question that choice. Lots of camo clothing is utilitarian and rugged. Which doesn't lend itself to certain uses, but absolutely excels in others. If paired with a mullet, free pass to always wear it, especially of the 80s vintage woodland style. |

A mullet is a free pass to all kinds of stupidity. I'm growing the beard back, maybe I should revert my efforts to a first class mullet.

Sure, I can understand camo having its uses in a utilitarian sense but I'm speaking from a fashion sense. Saw some IG posts of brands posting pics of new stuff and there were long sleeve shirts with camo prints. Uglier than shit too |

That would take way too much maintenance, but I'm sure chicks dig it. |

On the other hand, it really draws a target.

Supposedly the Droopy Draws started when individual's were incarcerated and belts removed do to them being used as weapons or suicide.
It became some sort of status symbol of sorts.

Another fashion I don't get is the very expensive Designer clothing that are ripped up and look like you found it at the second hand store? This shirt I posted is $1,298   |

...I think the attempt to upmarket sweatpants is silly. Though I don't think I've seen anyone wearing those out. I never saw it either until I started hanging out in Irvine, California (my personal least favorite city). I suspect Dad's credit cards fund much of that trend, but who knows. BUUUUT, I would totally snag these Freewheelers' if I had my dad's credit card!  |

I can't do the sweatpants thing unless i'm at home. I'd feel like George Costanza if i wore them out in public
