Fashion

[FriedRiceNSpice]

Not trying to sound homosexual... but what kind of clothes do you guys like?

[BrotherofSnake]

I like to wear Ecko clothes.

[PiSigma]

tshirt and jeans, the uniform of the poor student. occasionally with a toque or baseball cap. my favorite tshirt would be the "engineering ruined my life" tshirt.

Ic, that is cool.
So you're going for the K-Mart gangster/Value-Village Thug look, I persume?
That syle is common among the Southeast Asian kids at my school.

Haha I hope I will still have time/money for shopping in college. Whats wrong with engineering? You're entering a high-end high-income professional field that will ensure that you live the good life in the future.

[BrotherofSnake]

Since my school is mostly Blacks, Hispanics and Asians, just about everyone dresses in urban clothing.

non-engineers will never understand the suffering we have to go through to get our degrees.. here's an typical week for me (actually it's my schedule for next week)

monday: 4 hrs of lectures starting from 9-2 with 1 hr break in between, then a 4 hr lab on data analysis.

tuesday: 3 hrs of lectures starting at 9:30 then 3 hrs of labs on heat and mass transfers

wednesday: same lecture schedule as monday then 3 hrs of lab from 2-5 on data analysis, then 3 more hrs of lab from 6-9 on reactor analysis.

thursday: same lecture schedule as tuesday, then 6 hrs of dynamic modelling process lab from 2-8

friday: same lecture schedule as monday and wednesday then two hrs of seminars from 2-4, and then some times a 3 hr lab from 5-8.. (and that's on a damn friday)

any other time i have left no in a lecture/seminar/lab i'm writing assignment/lab report/essay/presentation/exam/quiz/design project.. after that i get about 3 hrs of sleep a day. good thing i'm on uberman's sleeping schedule or else i'm really screwed.

Shhhhh.............

[FriedRiceNSpice]

Wow. I will now think twice about getting an engineering degree. Are you working towards your bachelor's or phd? Is Yue also an engineer?

[sumdud]

I wear either jeans or slacks. Never sweats.
I use my undershirt as topshirt most of the time, or with a sweater, then a water repelling jacket.
Brand is not a thing at all.

Did you say sweater? As in the old fashion kind that grandmas knit? :roll:

[sumdud]

..................

No, the warm fleece (Which is common in the market here, other types are not as common.) that you pull over your head.

[PiSigma]

i'm only in third yr of my bachelar program. but then again i'm in the specialized computer process control program. the only one in the world actually. since my school's chem E department is ranked 6th in north america.. they actually care about their reputation... therefore chem E is the hardest department, and then since i'm in the eliteist program, the profs just love torturing us

i got plenty of sweaters here too, when it gets to -45C or -50C with windchill it's just not possible to go with a tshirt

[FriedRiceNSpice]

Do you go to UA? hmmmmm....... I am reconsidering wanting to study mechanical engineering at UC Berkley...

And Sumdud- you are so unfashionable gosh!

[PiSigma]

ya UofA as in university of alberta.. not university of arizona..

does anyone here actually have the money to buy good clothing like from banana republic??? i need to get myself some of that.. can't wear tshirts and jeans to work... got to spend money to earn money...

Banana republic is good... very good. I personally don't have any of their clothes though.

Lately I've been indulging myself with Lacoste and Le Tigre.
Before I stuck with the bread-and-butter high school brands like Abercrombie, Hollister and American Eagle.

[PiSigma]

ya it is good clothes, that's why i need to get it.. planning to buy some shirts and pants at banana republic and mexx. the company i'm working for in the summer have a semi-formal dress code, but since its pretty much all engineers that work there, and they are all so damn rich, they pretty much all wear expensive shirts and pants.. so i have to buy stuff that's on a similar level or else when clients don't think they want to see some guy wearing "engineering ruined my life"

[FriedRiceNSpice]

clients don't think they want to see some guy wearing "engineering ruined my life"

:roll: :roll:

mexx

Haven't heard of it.

If you want something nice without spending too much, pick up a pair of khaki dockers from JC Penny for like $40 or maybe as low as $20 if you can catch them on sale and one of these (http://www.onlyinstyle.com/template/lacoste/LCS-Main.html). Preferably a lighter color like the light blue or yellow.

[PiSigma]

mexx is european, don't know if they have it down in the states, but they got some very good semi-formal clothing, formal clothing and casual wear. but it's pretty expensive.. but if i can catch a sale, they give 50% off...

IC. Is lacoste and le tigre big in Canada? They are my favorites. How about Armani Express and Izod?

[PiSigma]

never heard of lacoste or le tigre or izod.. there are armani here, but that's way too expensive.. each suit is like 1000 dollars.. can't afford that kind of stuff.

[drunkhomer]

gap jeans, AE, billabong

[MIGleader]

I like to wear Ecko clothes.

Chigger...JK:D

not like I should be talking, since I wear south pole and sean john. Have a couple of polo shirts aswell.

[The_Zergling]

Jeans and T-shirts nearly the whole year round, in winter I just wear a simple jacket plus a raincoat to stop the wind...

Mostly like to wear mountain-climbing clothes, they're comfortable, durable, and dry quickly. Very convenient for a lazy student like me.

[Ender Wiggin]

preferably t-shirts and cargo pants, usually from dark blue to butternut (khaki).

And usually I wear silk shirts over my t-shirt, like the kind I wear in the picture i posted in my hoi2 thread.

[BrotherofSnake]

I also buy my T-shirts from Foot Locker and jeans from Anchor Blue, and for shoes, I perfer K-Swiss classics.

[vincelee]

The thinnest Columbia wind breaker available, over a black sleeveless muscle shirt, 24/7/365. yes, even when it's hailing outside. Because I'm a badass.

Talking about hailing, when I was a freshman and walking back from class on the friday before thanksgiving, I saw a car driving by really fast, then screech its breaks. It turned out to be my dad. He told me to get my ass into the car because it was hailing outside, and I was wearing a pair of Nike sports shorts and a sleeveless. When I came back, I discovered that I didn't bring back any shorts. My parents confiscated my shorts....

and yes, I'm an engineering student.

There is a lot of animosity from our CoE (college of engineering) towards LSA (School of Language, Science, and Arts) because, to be frank, most LSA students are retarded compared to us. Just look at your average polisci student...total dumbass.

edited for spelling

[Finn McCool]

nudist:rofl: :roll:

[vincelee]

now now, don't hate.

I don't have any.....exhibitionalistic tendencies.

[FriedRiceNSpice]

over a black sleeveless muscle shirt

:roll: :roll: :roll:

You know, Mr. YueIsPuny, muscle shirts are for people with muscles

:roll: :roll:

[vincelee]

don't playahate rice boy. Just because you can't bench the bar don't mean nothin'.

[FriedRiceNSpice]

don't playahate rice boy. Just because you can't bench the bar don't mean nothin'.

I smell a challenge...
So how much can you bench, Mr. Muscles?

[vincelee]

rep 190. Top out at maybe 240

[FriedRiceNSpice]

You can do 3 sets of 10 @ 190???
How long do you take in between sets?

[drunkhomer]

dats quite impressive cuz i'm currently plyin american football at UBC and i my bench max is only 255....and dats cuz i have daily routine workouts wif the football team

[vincelee]

2 sets of 8. cool down is about 3-5 minutes. I've actually never timed myself.

[Kampfwagen]

Fassion?

What fassion? :p

[FriedRiceNSpice]

2 sets of 8. cool down is about 3-5 minutes. I've actually never timed myself.

Thats decent I'll say.

dats quite impressive cuz i'm currently plyin american football at UBC and i my bench max is only 255....and dats cuz i have daily routine workouts wif the football team

What position do you play?

Fassion?

We were talking about clothes before YueThePuny led us :off

[drunkhomer]

OLB (outside linebacker)

[vincelee]

decent? And how much do you lift riceboy? A diet rich in rice and nothing else does not provide enough protein you know. You might want some extra chicken with that.

[FriedRiceNSpice]

Actually fried rice is full of sausages, chicken, and other fine high-protein meats. I also get 40-50 grams of whey protein a day.

And yes, by decent I was implying that I can lift more than you.

[vincelee]

and now, all you have to do is to find britboy or vincelee. That would be kinda funny, as I'm sure these two douchebags are weak as hell.

[PiSigma]

what does all of this have to do with poor student fashion?????:off

[vincelee]

you know what they say: hot chicks can wear rags and still manage to look fashionable. The same can be applied, to certain extend, to men also. And of course one of the defining physical aspects of male attractiveness is muscle mass.


ok that sounds like I'm gay...but I gotta tell it like it is.....because i'm a badass. ULTIMATE badass.

[FriedRiceNSpice]

I'm not sure if I'm catching your drift here...

what does all of this have to do with poor student fashion?????

Well, a large part of fashion is how the clothes suit the person/body. I was simply discussing how unfashionable it could be for someone slight and puny (like I thought Yue was before I learned about his bench press exploits) to try to sport black sleeveless muscle shirts.

[PiSigma]

that is so true, if some hot celebrity wears absolute crap, in a month it will be the newest fashion.. just because a celebrity wore it.. remember how the whole trucker hat fad started???

[vincelee]

how did the trucker hat crap start anyway? I've always wondered. That, and Ugg boots. Oh, and Northface. I swear, 80 percent of the white population on campus owns NorthFace products, and 60 percent have both the bag AND the fleece.

[FriedRiceNSpice]

Whoa!
Do you seen the box titled, "Ads by Google," under the last post? They are able to somehow figure out that we are discussing fashion, and ads are automatically generated for companies that market high-quality clothing, like Armani:) !!!
Fascinating!

Oh, and Northface. I swear, 80 percent of the white population on campus owns NorthFace products, and 60 percent have both the bag AND the fleece.

Northface is just sporty and preppy I guess...

[vincelee]

I just see a lot of military related stuff.

[FriedRiceNSpice]

I just see a lot of military related stuff.

Hmmmm weird. So what brands float your boat Mr. Puny?

[sumdud]

You still remember that photo? Man.........
So what'd you bench? 245? In Nautica?

I have a Pacific Trail Jacket but I think I am going to buy a Northstar next time. The fabric is starting to tear........
I don't have much clothes. (I am not a girl. Clothes is not my thing.) So I end up wearing the same thing most of the time now. (Especially since it's so cold now.)

[FriedRiceNSpice]

No, not in Nautica. I wear basketball shorts and a T-shirt when I work out, sometimes a sleeveless tank top instead of a T-shirt.

[Kampfwagen]

you know what they say: hot chicks can wear rags and still manage to look fashionable. The same can be applied, to certain extend, to men also.

So...all your saying is I need a thong, tank-top and big boobs and I got this fassion thing beat? SIGN ME UP!

[vincelee]

IF you're a girl. I don't think you would like me to arrive at that conclusion, would you?

[swimmerXC]

You guys are hopeless :roll:

[petty officer1]

vincelle bench max 240! that is good! I am 21, and only bench(max) 200.

Ok, back to the clothing, I wear now suits most of the time, (trying to look rich):p

Most time a combination of a black tie, black dress shirt, and an all black suit.

when playin sport or weight lifting, wear what ever comfortable.

[bd popeye]

You guys are hopeless :roll:

I agree!

Personally I walk around butt naked all day.:rofl: :nana:

Not really.. I wear polo shirts & nice slacks. Everyday. I'm grown. I don't own any jeans. The dye makes my legs break out in a rash. And sense I'm almost bald I wear a baseball cap of some type most everyday...Except when I go to church every Sunday.

Since I was a Avation Ordanceman for 11 of the 20 years I was in the USN I can lift quite a bit of weight...Like a Toyota Camry or something.:) Honestly I don't know how much..probally over 300 in a bench press.

What an Avation Ordananceman? Pictures speak a thousand words..
The USN has loaded bombs by hand forever!

[sumdud]

Why does the Brand even matter? I wear whatever color fits me as long the material has quality and isn't toooo catchy.
Yes, I wear singsle colors, no strips, not much.

Wow Sumdud wat a square.

[Gollevainen]
