I had some really nice collared striped shirts back in 2003 before they became the uniform of guys like this. I liked them, chicks liked them and would compliment them all the time.
Then they became shorthand for "I'm desperately trying to get laid tonight" and I had to switch to solid color collared shirts.
Then those fuckers co-opted THAT and I'm stuck with t-shirts now.
I have to wear that shit to work this year and it makes me uncomfortable but I offset it somewhat by getting them all at the thrift store and trying not to wear any that were made after the mid 90s,so at least they're dated.
