SoCal to Buckhead #8 – Men’s Fashion
One of the strangest phenomenons I have encountered since moving back to the ATL is one in men’s fashion.
Let me preface this observation with another.
Atlanta had changed MASSIVELY since I left this place 11 years ago.
- The population has almost doubled.
- 2 out of 3 people I meet are Not from Atlanta.
- The city is cleaner.
- The restaurants are trendier.
- The city is much more diverse.
Then can somebody, anybody, please tell me why the same thing I was wearing as a senior at Shamrock High School, is still draped across men all over Atlanta?
In my senior picture I was wearing “Duckhead” Khakis, a polo or izod shirt, and a brown belt. Sometimes I would wear a baseball cap with the bill bent in a 45 degree angle.
I snapped a few shots with my iPhone at Hartsfield last week.
They are all around me.
Every age.
So here is my plea.
If you EVER, EVER, see me dressed in this outfit…call the cops, alert Homeland Security.
Because I SWEAR, I will not have done this under my own fruition.
Los
RAIN IT DOWN
how do you know those guys are from ATL? they could be businessmen from Duluth.
O, ok I’ll do it and spare the rest of you men out there. it’s not businessmen from Duluth. I am willing to bet they are all married – now I’m not saying that are wives have any influenece over us at all – whats that dear, oh yes, I can take out the garbage sorry guys I can’t play right now. Aint no way i’m wearing that.
Well Nancy – either way they’re in Georgia while wearing those get-ups.
Just think Carlos! You’ll be so hip-looking!
I would laugh if I wasn’t wearing the exact same thing right now…
what are you talking about? those dudes are at the height of fashion.
Okay, my least favorite part is definitely the tennis shoes in the first pic!
yeah really Anna… everyone knows they should be wearing rockports….
Quit taking pictures of my dad.

I will beat you with a wiffleball bat… just return the favor.
Keep it dirty in the ATL.
They look like they are all ready to golf at a moments notice.
Dude -
so my comment either got deleted or went to spam – I was only saying “they are all headed to St. Simons” … man, everybody down here dresses like that … well, not everybody .. but the overwhelming majority of people in OUR CHURCH are dressed JUST LIKE THAT.
It’s called business casual. Some people have to adhere to office policies!
Are you aware that you just descibed how Andy dresses in the office. Hmmm…I fear I’ve endagered myself. Forget I just said that. I love khakis and tennis shoes.
Never said it’s wrong for you.
Just wrong for me.
