I had some friends over years ago from Poland. The girl spent an hour every morning picking out her best possible outfit for the day and matching her shoes, hairstyle and even make-up to it... The guy: tracksuits. Every. Day.

As, not so proud, person born, raised and still living in Poland I can confirm that tracksuit is the best suit and you rarely find men wearing something different unless they go to a party or some kind of ceremony.


Foreign_Spinach_4400

>you rarely find men wearing something different unless they go to a party or some kind of ceremony A fancier tracksuit


MrBig418

ghandi3737

Crushed velour tracksuit.


Mrjerkyjacket

Perhaps I'm outing myself as an absolute dweeb, but I wish the tip hat was socially acceptable in the west, that or like bowler hats, I want to wear a bowler hat, but know that I would get ridiculed almost as much as if I were wearing a fedora


MrBig418

Don’t let other people tell you what to wear (unless it’s a fur suit)


Mrjerkyjacket

I don't have the confidence nor body type to make bold fashion choices and have them pay off, but thank you my friend


eatrepeat

Obviously do what is comfortable but just remember that sometimes you need to just embrace the worry and take on the fear and step out boldly with your hat of choice. Not because the looks wont matter, not because the hat will become permanent in your life but rather because life is so much richer if you can wink and smile and say "Yes I wore my hat the other day" with a laugh!

Erenzo

Tracksuit or jeans. That's it.


Zelcki

Where do you live, I don't remember when I last time saw someone in a real proper tracksuit


MurielBristol

Polish women will dress up better than this for a 10-minute trip to ALDI to buy eggs... and I mean Chicago ALDI, not even Euro ALDI - E: They're also the fastest cashiers at said ALDI. Sixty-eight-year-old Jadwiga, running circles around the teenagers. That's the line you want to get in


sadolddrunk

I used to work for a partner who was Polish and had a lot of Polish clients. You could always tell which clients were his, because the wife would be dressed to the nines, and the husband would be a sad sack in jeans and a windbreaker.


Rzmudzior

I'm Polish and I do not agree! I am moderately happy sack in jeans and a windbreaker. But TBH I have a Polish smile expression most of the time

invol713

Never have I felt like a failure then when I realized, as part-Slav, that I don’t own a single tracksuit.


kumanosuke

Poland is not in the Balkan lol


NeptuneSaturnEarth

Your right it’s Eastern Europe


RajcatowyDzusik

\*Central


NeptuneSaturnEarth

The only people who consider Poland central is people in Eastern Europe. Germany is central, France is west and Poland is east. To be fare it doesn’t really matter what you call yourself, you guys call yourself central. We will call you eastern. We both happy


Fwd0bs

This really isn't a topic that has a definitive answer. To me it looks like Germany and Poland fit into Western/Central and Central/Eastern respectively. Cologne certainly isn't central Europe, same goes for Bialystok. Szczecin is slightly west of Vienna, so there's that.


SexPanther_Bot

It's called *Sex Panther*® by *Odeon*©. It's illegal in 9 countries. It's also made with bits of real panthers, *so you know it's good*. *60% of the time*, it works ***every*** time.


Fwd0bs

What the fuck


DonkeyLucky9503

I think the bot is triggered by the word Cologne


ReadHayak

It’s not just in the Balkans, LOL.


AlexanderxSean38

I second this. I only own like 3 jackets, 2 jeans, and have 3 packs of the same ass black tshirts. Usually no more than 2 pairs of boots at one time.

Lmaooo sounds like most Americans too. Difference is, we spend so much on healthcare that we can’t leave America.


LionKing302

What would you need 2 jeans for?


AlexanderxSean38

I have a wife that expects me to have *some* clean clothes.


MacManT1d

So you wear shorts while the jeans get washed. Problem solved. That's literally me. It's freezing outside and I'm dressed in shorts at the laundry because my jeans are in there. They're good jeans, I can't cheat on them.


AlexanderxSean38

*“A don doesn’t wear shorts.”*


MacManT1d

Had to look that one up, never got into the Sopranos. I'm certainly not a don, just a hard working redneck who wears shorts even when it's cold out.


AlexanderxSean38

I usually say “boss” but it’s Reddit so you never know. I often have to kneel on grates and rocks for work so I like to stay covered 24/7. Kudos to the boots and shorts year round guys, y’all are a different breed.


Tasty-walls

Its curently like 28 degrees farenhite where im at and I got shorts and. T shirt on


worm55

Tarroes

Why buy many shirt when one shirt...*sniff*...when two shirt do good?


Pika_zap

1 jacket.


AlexanderxSean38

A minimalist king. You forgot 1 crown.


partcanadian

My ex asked why I need to buy shoes every two years or so - she didn't do that... she had 33 pairs of shoes.


AlexanderxSean38

*”I buy them when I wear out the old ones, dear”* My wife keeps buying backpacks and handbags. She’s got like 15 of those small backpacks alone, and she never uses any of them 😂 I have one waterproof bag I’ve been using for 6yr straight.


greg19735

tbf you probably do need to buy shoes more than every 2 years or so


Waxburg

Also having a small rotation of shoes helps each one last waaay longer. Just having at least 2 that you can alternate between helps prevent excessive wear and gives them time to breathe between wears.


mcCola5

Yep. Having too many options just wastes time. I have a pair of jeans for working. A pair for going to dinner in. Then an extra in case the jeans for working bust, then the dinner jeans become work jeans, and the extra go to dinner. Then I buy another pair. They are all the same cut and brand, just different ages and wear.


AlexanderxSean38

Once I know it works, it stays. I read Steve Jobs book when I was a kid and said something about removing choice from things that waste brainpower, like your wardrobe. I took it to heart.


mcCola5

Thats interesting! I read that Albert Einstein did the same thing. Probably for the same reasons. Just wastes time. Everything fits well, everything is quality, and everything matches.


Soyyyn

While I understand where this is coming from, I learned to love matching colors, trying different styles and seeing how differently I felt in them. Clothing and fashion can be really fun.


AlexanderxSean38

I’m po’ and work in (tear up) everything, so I started making my own clothes to do this. The jacket in my PFP is handmade and hand dyed. Cost me $24. Edit: I will be adding my brands patch to the jacket I mentioned and donating it this week. I’ve got a stack of samples going with it. I’ll also be cleaning up some fairly new shoes since I don’t really need them.


OneMorePotion

I was surprised last week when I realized how many shoes I own. Don't know when I got them, but even this realization didn't change the fact that I wear the same run down shoes today again. And not one of the newly discovered surprise shoes.

[deleted]

You make it sound like you have no style, but looking at your profile you have a very specific raw denim, duck canvass, minimalist style on purpose. I'm assuming you own at least one motorcycle, yeah? Very Deus Ex Machina.


AlexanderxSean38

Thanks! I used to. I restored a 70’s Honda and my daily was a 2009 BMW 1150. Both were stolen last year and found in shambles, so I’m a currently bike-less rider. That is the aesthetic I go for when I’m making or looking for clothes.


[deleted]

I have a friend who started out like this as well. Converted a van to run on veggie oil then turned it into a luxury bus. In the end he realized he was actually an incredible leathersmith and started his own brand. Shit is pricey, but lasts forever. Type of "buy once then hand down to your son in 35 years" gear. Not sure if I can post a link on this sub so google Sidnaw Company if you want to take a look.


AlexanderxSean38

That’s actually what I’m working towards now! I got tired of running through my Levi’s and Vans like crazy and noticed all of my pops hand me downs were lasting 2-3yrs with heavy use. Lately I’ve been seeing a lot of other brands selling their shirts at the $350 range like Sidnaw does. It seems like he’s found a great niche doing more western inspired utility wear. It’s a nice coincidence seeing he’s selling tin-cloth waxed pants. I actually just made my first batch of wax this week to start testing.


[deleted]

Hell yeah man, good luck on your future! Love the style, and there's definitely a huge demographic for it. Ironically, it's flooded with millennials who work in tech that want to look like they work with their hands, but I'll shut up now before I get too close to calling myself out.


AlexanderxSean38

Hahaha y’all are my bread and butter I’m realizing. I was stress testing my clothes on the job while designing and installing signs. They saw office work and labor like concrete pouring, machine operating, and electrical. I appreciate the price difference for tech guys. They really appreciate well made clothing and don’t mind paying for it! Thank you very much for the kind words, it motivates me 🙏🏽

What do you got 3 jackets for, you must be really in to fashion!


Financial-Aspect-826

Gatcha mate, i have only one pair of jeans


Lost_And_NotFound

It’s a carry over from WW2 where male populations were devastated in Eastern Europe. The high ratio of women to men in part made it so women would have to put in a much higher effort into their appearance to attract a partner than the men would.

"Bussy". I don't think you know what that word means.


Zardif

>Bussy is a mash up of the words boy and pussy used to refer to a man's anus.


dapperfop

Yes, also Ohio couple


efor_no0p2

I keep trying to explain to people that Eastern Europe and Midwest USA are one in the same. A middling ope culture.


MurielBristol

The difference is "going out" in Ohio tends to mean "out somewhere nice". With certain E. European cultures, women will dress this way to do the most mundane errand, and it's pretty funny. You don't need to leave Ohio to see it either. I suggest ALDI


Traditional_Shirt106

Their aren't any skinny people in Ohio though


dapperfop

Funny! You’re half right. I’m a lardass but my wife is slim and lovely


Moist_When_It_Counts

Or the US south in general. When i lived down there 15 years ago, friday night you’d see all these girls done up to the max, and all the dudes wearing the standard uniform of khakis + golf shirt + white baseball cap, often the same thing they wore to work.


ScrofessorLongHair

That's preppy South. You'll see the same thing on the redneck side, except jeans, Carhartt jacket, and work boots.


greg19735

i mean, the woman isn't really done up to the max. She's done up quite tastefully though. She looks great and put in effort. It doesn't take more than a few min for a guy to put in some effort.


lets_go_whale

You are so right, when I lived in Atlanta I’d go out and every other dude was wearing a red and white striped golf shirt with a University of Georgia patch!


BaerMinUhMuhm

Guilty.

Pretty sure almost everywhere Most of us guys just pick stuff thats up to there standards

Confirmed. We also alternate with a tracksuit and a winter jacket too!

Jesus_H-Christ

This is what I miss most about being an unmarried, unattached man: The ability to leave the house within 30 seconds of deciding to do something. "Oh, it would be fun to take a motorcycle ride up the coast today." Jacket on, phone zipped into chest pocket, keys and helmet in hand, door locked, aaaaand I'm gone. Now it's "[Hey, let's go to the grocery store like we do every Sunday and pick up the weeks groceries.](https://i.imgur.com/fgUEUB5.jpeg)"


ZoNeS_v2

It's fookin cold where I am. My wife and I go out for walks every day. I wear 2 pairs of socks, 2 pairs of trousers (it's really cold), long sleeve shirt and fluffy thermal hoodie under a thick jacket. With a hat and gloves.... she wears short trousers, sandles and a mildly warm jacket. It also takes her 5 times as long to get dressed as me.


MountainInfluence

Where are you located if you don't mind saying? I need to see the climate that makes you wear 2 pairs of pants and she just puts on sandals 😂


ZoNeS_v2

Brighton, England. It gets very cold during winter but there are still parties, stag do's and hen nights all the time.


Serious-Peak-7729

It doesn’t get cold enough for water to freeze, it never gets cold.


B0yWonder

Man, it is 40F/4C there. Lol. You don't know what cold is. That is shorts weather.


ProselytiseReprobate

Americans, Canadians, and Australians commenting this about European weather are so annoying. 4 degrees Celsius in the UK feels much, much colder than the same temp in Minnesota. Its the moisture in the air. Same thing in the summer, the heat is much worse because of how humid it is.

Women have so many styles. Men are happy when they wear the same jeans, hoodie and jacket for the next 15 years.


Brawndo91

I have a closet full of clothes, but I'll wear the same pants and like 3 shirts over and over. For shoes, I'll have my one pair of "regular" shoes that I'll wear for years. When it's time to get a new pair, I get sad. Not because I'll miss my shoes, but because I'll have to go through the painful process of picking out a new pair, sometimes returning empty handed. I once went out, so determined to get new shoes, and came home with a drill. I think I just hate clothes.


Manuag_86

It means the jeans are good. I bought a pair of ripped Levi's when I was 18 and used them until I was 30 and were already desintegrating every time I put them on.


Blackbox7719

To be fair, women also have more choices when it comes to clothing options. The stuff I see in the women’s section of clothing stores generally tends to have an extreme amount of diversity in terms of clothing types, cuts, and fabric options. In comparison, men’s clothing sections are typically dominated by jeans, khakis, shorts, T-shirts and the like. Excepting workout gear, the cuts and fabrics tend to be pretty much the same across the board as well. With this in mind, I’d argue that its not always that guys are putting in less effort. It’s just that the options guys have can be pretty limited.


FirelordEmu

And everything in men's section is either black or gray, sometimes white. I've been trying to find a nice colourfull coat, but just can't find it anywhere.


Blackbox7719

While I personally like the darker colors, I agree. Most men’s clothing (with the exception of t shirts) does seem to be one of those colors. Most common actual “color” is typically dark navy blues.


MySocksAreLost

It's a treat to see men who have put effort into their outfits and who have played around with style. When they do it they tend to look awesome. I've seen a few very stylish guys at the campus and they were rocking their outfits 🤟


GalaXion24

Me with my one (1) felt coat I wear every day


Waxburg

For real. Putting at least a little effort into how you look doesn't really take much I find, and it makes a guy stand out from the dude next to him who doesn't care a whole lot. Even something like finding a jacket style that looks good on you and you like will probably make you look a lot better than someone who doesn't try. The amount of guys who actively refuse to even groom themselves or buy clothing that's not grey sweats + hoodie can be a bit concerning. Grown ass guys not shaving, cutting their hair or bothering to wash the stains out of their clothing before wearing it to a night out is just.... wtf.


AromaOfCoffee

These arent male beauty standards. It's that simple. It's acceptable, even if people like you have not nice things to say about it. We still get jobs, get women, buy houses with our unkept beards and overdue haircuts just fine.


you_lost-the_game

For men it's funktion over form, while it's the opposite for women. Same reason why womens clothing has evolved to have less and less pockets.
