I'm not saying it makes any sense, mind.

clubs / gigs I seem to either
a) slump at the back with my coat on all night talking cod shit and getting very drunk. This usually happens when I am out with my mate Alan. We have been getting hammered together since 1986.
b) get right in there early in either a nice hardwax-related t-shirt or a nice black or white linen shirt (both of which I seem to have lost last autumn so I need to watch out for a Gap sale)
I'm quite keen to wear some long shorts in clubs this summer. Plus of course some of the more interesting uniqlo jeans.
I have a fantasy about going out clubbing in a black kilt. I have the legs for it and they look awesome. Pricey though. I was looking at some great ones on prince's street seconds before I broke my arm. Perhaps these two facts are related.
Cor, spring has come! Whole new wardrobe possible! Means I can dig out my fcuk lightweight grey military-style jacket!

Amen.
Mind you, there's a lot I won't tolerate in clothing but will stay quiet for fear of offending all you...er...'urban clothing-lovers'...
still! i find it upsetting that someone might loath my feet!
the only time i have come across similar strength of feeling was with an old friend from the countryside who literally found it the funniest thing to think about all the 'city-boys' with their poncy white trainers... it was with a heady mixture of disdain and amusement that he would look upon my feet

Mind you... cardigans. What the FUCK is that about?
See also - horizontally striped polo shirts.
You are not four years old. Fucking grow up.

Paul, if i'm ever somewhere i might bump into you then remind me to just wear a sack!
I think cardigans are hit and miss - they can look really forced. i like this one (i either own one or own something very similar), once you get over the fact it's being modelled by a waxwork of graeme le saux who's more suited to the annoying faces thread than this one:
Gap did some nice ones a couple of years ago - i had a dark brown wool one with pink stripes, but i ended up shrinking it in the wash. I have no beef with striped polo shirts either.

No haven't used it yet but it looks pretty reliable, I'm on strictly window-shopping for the forseeable future!

Cardigans: yes. Without a shirt? No.
GA,

A well detailed shirt will suffice Tom!
I've really never got cardigans. Biggest menswear trend for years - totally leaves me cold.
Whenever I see horizontally candy-striped polos I always think "Boden Kids catalogue". Great on one of my babies - bit of a semiotic nightmare on an adult male.
Mind you, Gabriel Heatwave carries them off. Just.
I'm sitting in a cafe and just got unapproving stares when I laughed aloud and uncontrollably at this post, so awesome. hard not to love anecdotes like this!

You have nothing to fear - most of us have spent all our money on records over the years at the expense of clothing.
