On a scale of 1-10, how much should a man care about style/fashion?

ZERO

You should care as much as you want to care and not get hung up on others.

For me, I think I'm maybe a 2 or 3. I have a cheap style that I believe works for me and it allows me to put pretty much zero thought into getting dressed in the mornings. No one is wowed by my appearance, but I don't think anyone crinkles their nose at me, either (this would be dependent on where I was, but in my daily life, I fit right in).

Not sure if it matters, but I'm married, mid-30s, no kids and work is quite casual.

Stupid question. What works for one man does not necessarily work for another.

Any other stupid questions?

Depends where you live. NYC is a 7-8. Lincoln, Nebraska, not so much.

10 sometimes

8 most of the time

0/10

OK, so you are gay. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

To be honest, I always have to laugh a little bit at the people who have to make it known that they wear the trendiest brands and what not. All they are doing is basically following what some celebrity or fashion magazine has deemed to be cool at any given point in time. To me, it screams insecurity and overcompensation.

However, I do agree that there are items where you should invest a little money in simply for the quality. Well made jeans and tailored button down shirts come to mind, and maybe a fresh pair of sneakers.

Those dudes in NYC, LA and SF that obsess over the latest fashions can keep that effeminate sh*t far away from me.

I think the OP is gay fashion icon Tim Gunn, not that there's anything wrong with that.

i pity people who are super into style and fashion. Mens fashion is so simple that its really not hard to look good. Anyone who goes far out of there way to be stylish either cares way too much or is insecure. Jewelery, hair gel, hair "styles", fancy clothes, all that other mumbo jumbo..... all for women, I can't even imagine what its like having such dull interests as that kind of stuff

Just like this, Bro.

My wife dresses me pretty well. Seriously, she buys all my clothes and lays my outfit out for me each day. I think it's the same for most married men.

I'll let her know when I need a jacket and tie or whatever.

We've gotten to the point where when I travel she packs my bag and I just grab it and go.

I've never asked her to do this, it's just what she likes to do. Plus I'm basically a slob and she wants me to be presentable.

To all the posters on this thread saying zero or something low on the scale, are you those old guys I see walking around with bermuda shorts and colored knee-socks?

No.

We just happen to be real men. Concerning yourself with style/fashion is for women.

You have identified yourself as a woman. I hope you are a real woman.

Guilty. Add loud Hawaiian shirt, sandals, fanny pack, tattered old bucket hat, and clip on, flip up sunglasses, and I think I'm a sharp dressed man, at the senior center down here in Opa Locka.

The and answer you are looking for = Yes, your'e gay.

To the OP

If you want to wear skinny jeans then just wear them. Why seek validation here?
