Dress Like a Mac!
 

How to Dress Like a Mac

This is so useful because I'm pretty clueless about fashion. But, hey, I wouldn't mind dressing like this guy. Anyone else have any tips on this? I have Winners gift certificates. :)

For a minute there I thought I was going to see a bunch of people wearing only one (annoying) color.

Sad thing is... I look like the mac guy most days...

Jeans and a t-shirt is fashionable? I find it more lazy.

Well, I'm not about to wear a suit everyday.

huh. i had no idea that the way i dress usually could be confused with fashion.
this because i agree with wk that it is a lazy look---but i am lazy when it comes to fashion.
that's why it surprises me.

I don't get this "lazy" thing. Do you mean lazy-looking, or logistically lazy? I mean, it takes, what, an extra 5 to 10 seconds to do up a dress shirt?

Why not? I wish I could wear a suit everyday.

You know, I wish I could too. I'd have the same sense of fashion as T. S. Eliot did (a four-piece suit), if people wouldn't look at me as though I were an eccentric freak.

I'd go more towards the Rat Pack look.

well, i am explicit about it in 3-d: i do not like shopping and am not occupied particularly by engineering my look via clothing.
i know folk who are the opposite, and see them as busy shoppers, people who like to work at shopping for whatever reason--and compared to them, i am a slug.

i could wear suits all the time if i wanted to--but that would require looking for them--and that i'm not inclined to devote the time and energy to doing.

i suspect that alot of this comes from my extended past as a guy weighing 500 lbs, during which there was not a whole lot of point in going shopping at most stores because there was little chance of finding anything that'd fit. and i found "big man" stores to be abysmal places, full of clothing that seemed designed around the idea "if you weigh this much, it doesnt matter how you look"--but that might be a consequence of my simply not liking the stores i could find.

at this point, i could change my attitude, but i kinda like not shopping, not taking it seriously, not looking for a new version of myself or to version myself via accessorizing.

tho a little chanel number never hurt anyone.

so yes: i am a lazy consumer of clothing---but there's nothing perjorative about it. in fact, i affirm non-activity with respect to retail clothing outlets as a positive thing.
but i have no problem with folk who enjoy clothes and find that they are sometimes like interesting trees in the garden of my visual field.
so those folk devote attention to shopping--i'd rather devote the time to sitting around in a coffeehouse doing other things.

besides, i get snippy in retail stores.
so i figure reducing my exposure, and that of others to me, is a win-win situation.
being lazy is a public service.

For the most part I'm a t-shirt and jeans guy.


But it's all designer.

I'm generally coming where you're coming from too, roachboy. If I did wear a suit, it would be the same high-quality suit worn everyday, cleaned when required and worn until ruined.

Shopping is a rare thing for me, so I try to do it "right."

I'm disappointed. I was expecting pimp wear. ): I suppose that would have been mack, not mac.

I, personally, don't think that I could spend 90 dollars on a pair of jeans. Seems pretty ridiculous to me.

I wore nature-colored polyester for the last four years.

Thanks for posting, Baraka. I benefited from this thread.

It reminds me that I can be cool yet acceptably tame.

Same here, which is why I shop at Winners, where you can buy $90 jeans for around $40.


Crompsie, did you ever get that new footwear?

I've spent more then $90 on a pair of jeans.



And damn do they make my ass look great.

some of my jeans come with a prosthetic ass.
that ass-model looks great.
from time to time, i remove it from my jeans and wear it as a hat.

Converse All-Stars. Useless rubber-bottomed socks. EXTREMELY stylish.

Who needs a prosthetic ass when McDonald's can help you grow a real one?

I love my Chuck Taylor's. Unless I have to do something or it's raining. Around the house or just running out to take care of something.

I must admit, the Mac guy outfit looks like it would be pretty good to fight in should you need to throw-down outside the GAP.

Loose but not baggy clothing and lightweight, flat-bottomed shoes.

$90 for jeans?????

$15 at Walmart....get'em a size too small and your ass will look just fine.

Or just go to Value Village. That same pair of 90 dollar jeans for 5 bucks. (;

If I get jeans a size too small you can see my coccyx.

I've had a pair of Express jeans since High School (used to be tight black, now are comfy gray). When you pay, you pay for quality, so long as you've done your homework.

Mangina?

That's the point. ;)

Hahaha. Wrong side, lady.

True.dat. Man jeans are all about the mooseknuckle.

See, the Mac guy would be cooler with a new iCod, the iPod holding codpiece available in five annoying glossy colors you don't want.

Keep your throbbing bass near your throbbing member... iCod.

50,000 songs, a phone and a camera... on your wiener. The commercials? I'll leave that to you imagination you sickos.

iCod Video: "Dude, stop staring at my crotch."

iCod: You know how I know you're gay? You're listening to Coldplay... and it's on your shlong.

ICod: Why is Elton John singing "Rocketman" by my lumbering manshaft?

iCod: Why smaller isn't always better.

I have an iCod because I don't have an iWang.

:(

I'm no fashion expert but... The importance of this sort of style is comfort. Think of it in terms of how Apple want to market themselves, cool but very useful at the same time. Don't wear two items that our the same colour, ie you can wear a light grey and a dark grey but don't get them too close in shade. Keep it loose but not baggy. Jeans should be dark, jean shaped cords are another option.
It should look nice but have a function, zipped hoodies are good because you can zip them up if your cold and put up you hood if it rains. Avoid anything dressy, like don't try to wear anthing but smart/casual trainers, no scarves neither.
