Dressing as a sly guy...
ChadinSO:
I think being bald magnifies what you're wearing.
Examples:
In a suit, a sly guy looks really extra sharp. Like what is this bald guy doing so sharp?
In some scrubby clothes. Might make you look MORE like a scrub than otherwise.
In "normal" clothes, gym wear, casual wear, ect....you still stand out more than the other guy.
Here in LA if I wear a Dodgers shirt, I might look like a lot of other guys out here trying to sport that gangsta look or whatever it is they do.
Any thoughts?
Tyler:
I think being bald can accentuate certain looks because of the way you see most bald men on television.
Like you said with the Dodgers jersey (go Dodgers!!) because you often see gang members (Crips) wearing this in movies you can be seen as one if you're wearing one, especially with baggy pants.
I also think suits make you look really sharp, as well as most shirts with a collar.
If you have an athletic build, gym gear will get people thinking you're an athlete of some sort.
And, a Sly Bald Guys shirt will get you plenty of attention... 8)

In my experience I feel that it definitely accentuates the nice button down dress shirt/jeans or slacks look.
It also looks good in muscle/gym style clothing. It sort of akwardly stands out with overly baggy/blah clothes.

Yep...good observations, Chadmeister....I've had the same thoughts, man
I gotta tell ya...I HATE that L.A. gangsta shaved head look...I drove a truck for a lotta years in L.A. and was a cabby there too .....and had run ins with those little pieces a @#$%&!
Most of them are little freakin punks that don't weigh more than a buck fifty soakin' wet...
I used to grumble to myself.....$d^vC
"put down yer 9mm and switchblade and let's go mano a mano, ya little....." kn*%
Ok, I feel better....BACK TO TOPIC
ChadinSO:
When I first moved to LA I could not figure out some of the Laker crowd. I went to a Burbank sports bar and each time the Lakers even scored a simple point the whole shaved head gangster group would stand up and start yelling, "whooo whoooop, that's my boy" and all this nonsense.
I was sitting there thinking to myself, pretend a basket is what you SHOULD make, not a reason to celebrate each time.
