Saw a dude of around 30 at a lunch place in downtown Tulsa a few weeks ago. The guy was not only wearing Topsiders but the cheap freakin' $8 knock-offs you could buy in 1982. Where the @#$% did he even find those?!?

I think Old Navy or GAP or someplace like that has put those cheapies back on the shelves - I've seen them too.

Ha, Saturdays about the time hungover hipsters come to breakfast is a good time to people watch downtown. Blue Dome draws a bunch.

I saw a dude with a huge beard come in, wearing painted-on skinny jeans that were cut off by him with scissors to make capri pants that ended half-way down his calves. Then I realize he's like 35 years old, and has his wife and 2 kids with him. Now, I try not to judge, but c'mon dude, you don't need to make your kids explain to their friends why their daddy wears capri pants. :D

Top-siders with khaki shorts and a polo shirt = okay (if that's your thing. +1 if you are from the Carolinas or Georgia coast and/or actually on a boat)

Top-siders with capri pants? I hope you realize how foolish you look.

Though there may be a point to those shoes. They were invented to be non-slip.


Considering the all piss and cheap beer all over the floor of the hipster bars (been to a few, once or twice), this could be very deliberate.

Cards is so wearing capri pants and top-sliders right now.

FWIW, I look pretty ridiculous most of the time myself, it's just that I love making fun of other people so damn much and you can't stop me.

Dude, Snakeskin Cowboys is a song lambasting posers.



Gah, faux-redneck kids in boots and shorts or boots with their pants tucked in bug me on the same level as hipsters in skinny jeans and boat shoes.

we've had this conversation before. personally i am proud to see a few kids left who actually look up to & try to emulate cowboys instead of crack head gangbangers. would you really rather see rural Oklahoma kids with their pants down & their underwear hanging out?

& it is perfectly acceptible to wear your jeans tucked in your boots, assuming you actually are a cowboy. & when i say cowboy i mean those who list cowboy as occupation on their tax returns.
