I had to look at the date on this, because this is exactly how I still dress, except that it's been promoted to business casual and the dad-cap goes with baggy t-shirts and cargo shorts.
I'm getting old, and y'all will too.
It's comfortable. I should've started dressing like this a long time ago.
When did this become business casual? I'm still stuck with slacks and a polo.
YMMV. I've been working from home since 2018. Them fuckers are lucky if I wear pants at all.
When I work at home it is mostly pajamas.
But work at home isn't business casual. Business casual is what to wear in a less formal public setting, like a conference or office. While some people have started to wear jeans in those settings, I have never seen anyone in flannel shirts and broken in hats in a setting described as 'business casual'.
Yes, some offices don't have dress codes and that is fine to wear, but agsin they don't call themselves 'business casual' either.
I mean, it's not even really a "your mileage may vary" thing. If you're working from home, then you're completely disconnected from what standard "business casual" is.
Well, fashion being cyclical, people today are literally influenced by fashion companies pushing 90s fashions.
The tiny sunglasses, baggy pants (even jnco style jeans are back in style), 90s full bathing suits for women (when you almost never saw anyone under the age of 40 in a one piece a few years ago), 90s boy band haircuts, big platform Skechers-style shoes, white calf-length socks, the high waisted jeans…some day, the early 2000s fashion of low waisted jeans, body jewelry, massive sunglasses, trashy-chic look etc. will be back in style.
In the early-to-mid 2000s, we laughed at how bad the 90s fashion was. Just like people dunk on early 2000s fashion now. Pretty crazy what people in fashion manage to do. Completely change the way everyone dresses en masse. It’s pretty weird, honestly.
I found my style pretty young—or maybe I just never grew up into more “adult” fashion. It just doesn’t feel like me. But I still like a slimmer/normal cut jean, pretty much all black everything, band shirts, a flannel when it chillier, etc. My look will always be in style because I make fashion.
I'm not looking forward to it. Right now I just wear what I like and no one cares, but at some point I have to go through the experience of people saying, "Ew, why is that old guy trying to be fashionable?" a few months before people start saying, "Ew, look that old guy is a couple months out of date, what a loser!"
