UConn James Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 See it more among the media types, but a lot of the pols have taken to wearing purple. 50% blue, 50% red Do you own a purple tie? Would you admit to owning a purple tie? Would you wear a purple tie? Sorry. Just trying to shake the peaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RkFast Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Black men have it so lucky in regards to fashion. They can wear light tan suits with a black shirt and purple tie and make it look good. I wear a combo like that and Im either fired and/or getting my ass kicked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubhockey Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 That's a pretty racist statement. 212288[/snapback] Of course it is ... you can't say anything anymore without it being considered slander or racism. I think my post is racist as well. I mean, look at all the white space around this message. I don't see any black, yellow or red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black guys look good in clothes that white guys just can't pull off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different strokes for different folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's things that work differently with any complexion. I actually don't think that ensemble would look half bad, even on a white boy. Would probably go better with dark hair as a balance with the dark shirt. Why might you get fired for wearing that tho? And it all depends on how you wear it, and who you are. Clothes do not, contrary to what Shakespeare's Polonius says, make the man. And then there's the away jerseys, which white guys, black guys, green guys, red guys or blue guys look bad in. Racist? Jebus Flubbing Krist! Watching the inauguration today, I've seen quite a few. And lots of people mixing vivid blues and reds. Baraba Bush, the elder, for example.

Pine Barrens Mafia Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 When exactly did purple become an un-manly color? 212374[/snapback] Dunno, but purple used to be THE color back in Roman times. Purple was a sign of status as Purple dye was incredibly hard to find. Therefore, purple became the Imperial color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blzrul Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Men's clothing is just damn boring, period. Yuck. And don't you all recall that according to Jerry Falwell purple means you're a...um...well...homasexshul? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And don't you all recall that according to Jerry Falwell purple means you're a...um...well...homasexshul? 212647[/snapback] I'm looking around for a brown suit for the time coming when I have to get a respectable (read: desk) job. Neckties are an important part. Still have to bone up on the Full Windsor (Half-Windsor looks like crap!). I might get a purple tie, or a nice blue-red mesh just to give Falwell the bird. For all his airs, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if he's got a boyfriend on the side. Men's clothing isn't entirely boring. I've got some awesome high-brown Snake boots from Cabela's a while ago, almost to the knees. People laugh if you wear them in the summer, but break 'em out in the winter and then see who's laughing!

He also wears Mr. Potato-Head ties, Homer Simpson Ties, Buffalo Bills ties, and more. But my husband is cool and can carry it off with panache. Few people can. Must be that military bearing ...
