Just for you SFCB
Thanks BarelySane88.
However, now I must take back my comments on the pants suit. Her usual pants suit would be a much better look than this sack, which someone must have found for her in a Goodwill Thrift Shop or equal. The leggings or shoes further detract from Kamala, the lady. She has a very pretty face. She or her dressmaker just don't have very good taste in clothes, unfortunately, in my humble opinion.
What do you like to wear.
Some of us would like to be the judge if your fashion choices.
What has what I like to wear got to do with this? Are you implying that I am trans?
My fashion choices? Look, kiddo, I am probably a generation older than Kamala, and you, as well. So I don't choose clothes for style. I choose 'em for warmth. I am freezing cold at home right now, with a broken thermostat. I am wearing 5 layers of clothing: tee shirt, polo, flannel shirt, chamois shirt, and bathrobe. That is the top half of my outfit. Bottom half is Depend, flannel pajama trouser, and gym-grade sweat pants, and compression stockings. Feet: two pairs of heavy merino wool stockings, sandals at home, New Balance sneakers on the street. At Church or formal events, I am coat and tie, suit or sportjacket and slacks, with some expensive composition shoes that look more like leather than like rubber.
When I dine with a lady for lunch or dinner, that is one of the few times I think about fashion. In that case, I ditch the bathrobe, and wear the flannel on the outside. (For a more formal place, I will go coat and tie) I buy the flannels and chamois shirts from LL Bean, in Maine, where it is a lot colder than San Francisco, and they are warm. For the street, a 650 down jacket, and a Cal Bears wool knit cap. In summer, an SF Giants cap. I have an old REI down jacket for the colder weather.
As for fashion today, where do we see evidence of that? I was down in the financial district a few weeks ago at lunch time, and I didn't see a single man wearing a coat and necktie. The dress today is jeans, tee shirt, sweat shirt, or hoodie, and sneakers, and most popular colors are black clothing and white or multi-colored sneakers. Leather shoes mostly disappeared. Over 90% of people I see today wear black. Not smart, but fashionable now. I can't believe how many pedestrians wear black at night. I've stopped counting all the narrow escapes I've had as a pedestrian.
If I do go out at night, I too, will opt for black. Maybe a black ski cap, hoodie or a black mask, and sneakers. I try to look like the rest of San Franciscans, and at night, that means kids out partying, muggers out mugging, and the beggars and homeless doing what they do.
