you wouldn't understand dear, its called style.
the canadian male. seems to fall into 5 distinct dress categories, feel free to add.
1. the biker look. adopted by true hells angels types and the hundreds of wannabees i have seen riding around this weekend, who will no doubt be back in the tax collecting office tomorrow. dress-leather waistcoat, matching chaps, black biker boots, blue jeans, white t-shirt, bandana, shades and strange groupings of facial hair.
2. weekend dad. tired and harassed, comfortable and no longer interested, dresses in whatever has been put out for him/is clean in the morning, the appearance certainly suggests this anyway. dress-chino's, golf shirt(neither match), 'fun' socks, comfortable shoes.
3. the no hoper. worryingly these seem to be the most prevalent, the dress tells the tale. dress-themed t-shirt, 'i'm with stupid, miller time, homer simpson says...', khaki shorts from gap, t-shirt tucked into shorts, shorts are pulled up to the sagging breasts and have a cheap belt, open toed sandals with white towelling socks. some of the toes have holes in them.
4. sporty. lots of these also, looks like they are either about to run a marathon/lift something heavy or climb a mountain. generally appear less than 5'5" in height and musclebound. dress-sleeveless vest type white t-shirt, pants that turn into shorts, or, shorts, tight ones, too tight ones, training shoes which are immaculate.
5. sh@t kicker. still alive and well and playing the banjo it appears around here. sexually abuses dead animals they have hunted and treats the little woman as she should expect. dress- white cowboy hat(of course), leather waistcoat, white cowboy shirt, blue jeans, brown cowboy boots with metal tips.

Re: you wouldn't understand dear, its called style.
add to this the big girls blouse, thats all of them that play 'soccer'. clearly not tough enough for hockey they transcend to footy. i've just played my first match(abandoned mid 2nd half)and i have never seen or heard such winging moaning big tarts, one or two little kicks and knees and they go down like they have been shot.
i don't think i am being asked back for a second game.

Oooops.
Molson Export t-shirt, shorts from Old Navy and sandals from Zellers. The entire ensemble cost less than I used to spend on a tie, to go with one of the large collection of suits that have been rotting in the closet for the last 7 years.

thats a bit harsh, can't believe you are not a little discerning in the clothes you put on, you never wear brown nylon bell bottoms, with a purple round collared shirt and flowery tie to the office, or would you?

Re: you wouldn't understand dear, its called style.
Ive been wearing the same Levis and golf/ polo / Ts at the office for years. No one cares. The last time I wore a suit was my mothers funeral, and the time before that was so long ago I dont remember. Its a casual country, what can I say.
