Title: Clothes
Post by: Elessar [[Sly]] on July 28, 2009, 11:34:04 AM
I apologise if this has been posted before...

But I dont know if anyone else has had this problem but more than half my clothes after I shaved my hair look silly on me. Obviously I will have to get new clothes but can't afford at the moment. All my black clothes look fine. But I've found I look silly in football tops and things like that.

I know, by football, you mean what us yanks call soccer, but I'll bet you'll look fine in your football shirts.

As Red has shown, w/ great examples, Sly looks good w/ football jerseys, it also looks good w/ T's & shorts, polo shirts and slacks, suits, formal wear, swimwear--it looks fine.  What you're feeling, I think, is a variation on "Who's the dude in the mirror?"  You're going to look different, different--Hell--you're looking much better  You just have to get over not looking like a balding old man--get out there and live.  O:O

Thats cool. I have one sports top thats fine but the others do look silly (which isn't many I meant most of my clothes in general). Although I was due to get some new clothes anyway.

I can understand where you're coming from... even though I'd been buzzed for decades, going sly made me want to bump my wardrobe up a notch.

Not silly - just different. 

You're still getting used to the change in your appearance.  Find some clothes you look good in now and keep the "silly" ones in the back of your closet.  Eventually you'll realize they look just fine on you

Yeah, and it's high time to be breaking out the long-sleeved Rugby shirts here in Chicago.

Thanks for recycling that excellent pic of four outstanding Sly Bros  ^-^

From the photos, I can now confirm with my wife that shirts without collars look best on us bald guys.  She is always trying to get me to wear shirts with collars.  I personally do not think it looks good.

I'm going to agree with several here... when I first shaved my head, all of a sudden I wanted to upgrade my wardrobe somewhat.

Post by: old_hippie on December 20, 2009, 01:07:26 PM
I use to wear t-shirts most of the time but since shaving my head
I have mostly given up t-shirts and prefir to wear polo shirts
for short sleeve or if wearing long sleeve shirts cowboy/western shirts.

any clothes look good on a bald guy  - - -people do not look at the clothes  - -they look at our melon

I'll disagree. If you dress like a slob, you'll look like a slob. Maybe not quite as much as someone with an unruly mop, but still...

Sharp clothes with an equally sharp sly noggin' on the other hand, really makes a statement.

The overall impression is what counts. And as the shaved sly head shows good taste the clothes should do so as well.
