[4fossa]

Yeah OP. I know the feel


See, as a teenager I was all about them tall tees.

Now that I dress nicier and with accurate style. It's a whole different game.

I'll put it in perspective like this OP..

When I'm at work M-Th Im wearing dress pants, shirt, tie, shoes, etc.... the white folks speak to me.. On Friday when I dress down, the black people speak to me....
When I see the same blacks when I'm in the slacks ... nothing

 

[Wild self]

Leanred the hard way back in 05 when a chick that I was messing with hinted that I gotta change my wardrobe, during the time of the fitted look just came in fashion. I was a hard headed dude then, and it nearly embarrassed me as a college student then that was still on that baggy clothes shyt. Had to change to Levis and Express jeans asap

Obviously, the people dapping me aren't as slow as others

I cut that out a long time ago. I wear mostly fitted stuff now, but just still really casual unless it's a special occasion

I could get used to the dress attire on a regular basis though

EXACTLY

Even the black guys in the class (like 3 out of 40) haven't said one word to me. I haven't really neither, but I haven't really said shyt to anyone that I haven't had to interact with

But yeah, even the ASIANS are speaking to me. Usually they act a lil stuckup and stank. got them complementing me and everything. I was looking at a watch yesterday and lady was treating me like I looked like $$$.

And it's funny, my brother called me on my break and I'm talking to him like we back at the house and I could tell the people in the class looking like they're surprised or something

I used to be into Jordans,trues and all of that shyt, after high school i started dressing the way i wanted to and never felt better.

Once you leave the hood, no one cares what brand you're wearing.

Dumbass hood nikkas wasting money to show off their gear to their broke friends .

Was talking about this cac @O.T.I.S.

You know how hard it is to walk around an office with Timbs on and it's not winter?

 

[Black]

[CHILLL]

the respect i get when im in a work suit > anything i experienced

 

[CHILLL]

not to mention
women look at you like $$$$
young women older women

 

[labrokejames]

Normally, I'm a Timbs, Jordans, Supra collector (still am) and a casual guy who loves Lacoste polo's but not really a fan of dressing up


Well I'm transitioning between jobs, beginning internships, doing interviews and taking classes and you're required to dress the part.



The compliments you get


The looks you get


The way people TREAT you


I'm completely comfortable and content in rocking dress attire now... You just FEEL like you're about business... you FEEL like you're on point just because you look on point.

Even people in class acted differently towards me when I was on point. Even the instructors, who were dressed sharp themselves, were like and went to me to actually assist during the class






I even went shopping for a new watch afterwards (and normally i don't wear watches.. a pet peeve of mines). And was about to cop it but they only had the display in stock.... I wanted it so bad because it would've definitely set the outfit off for tomorrow but I'll wait until next week.


Workout and dress nice brehs... you can't lose

I'm 100% with you breh, but man my gear is wack and limited. I just don't feel confident when I step out of the house man.

I've had a lot of weight fluctuations over the years combined with the fact that I was trained to shop cheap. So the shyt I have is just that - cheap. I HATE the way I'm dressed on the daily man. Pants don't fit, shirts don't feel right, tie game is meh.


Any advice? I'm really interested in stepping my formal game up. It's an emergency. I don't really know the first thing about it.

So.....nikkas are 'dressing better' and getting compliments from non black people which is in turn making them feel better for themselves and better than other blacks.

If these CACS at work knew what be in headphones .. they'll probably label me a angry black man... I rock only 90s rap ...
