That might have been true before hard top drop tops... At this point, you can't even tell it's a drop until the roof start coming off :banderas:


My boy at work just bought the hard top drop Volvo with the turbo.. Red outside with the Cherry red leather seats... You'll be 20 miles to the beach before that button hit and you like "What the fukk this is a drop" :damn:

Ya'll sound old though

I mean what's old? 30s? Yea you might not see someone in their 20s with a drop... That's cause they can't afford them nor the insurance. You won't find a drop top for less than $35k and that's not even a luxury joint. Lets not get into the hard top drops


When you say old I'm thinking 50 year old motherfukkers in these joints

cut this off before he could even get to a point....

here's my tips...

1. Look ready
2. stay sharp
3. dont overdo young appearance (if you do balance it)
4. smell grown
5. Be over the top and reasonable at the same time


like boom I'm 32

I want the Kobe Bryant bookbag and the gaudy totes and shyt
but I got the Gucci shyt that will match my grown and sexy outfits instead
I can pair it with a younger look and an older look.

I got bomber jackets, but not over the top patch riddled young kid shyt
I got artsy shyt and Chanel jackets for the bytches

with point number 3.... I mean that I have Jordan 33's but I dont overdo it with other shyt like that
throw on some khakis or jeans with a sweater/button up combo and that will balance out the old and young
I usually hit them with the extra swag with the scarfs and shyt cause I'm from the eastcoast.

Great glasses will go a long way too, I'm used to the snow so I actually wear sunglasses more in the winter to block to the wind and the brightness.
A good pair of brown or black tint shades will do an outfit justice. You can also get away with younger shyt with the right jacket, you can have some loud shyt on
but cover it with a plain jacket.

This new wave of black men who dress like this is embarrasing,since when did we start dressing exactly like Europeans?And these dudes really think they doing something too is what makes it so bad. Same dudes will try to shyt on a black woman for wearing weave while dressing like white boys. No I'm not trying to start anything I've already said my piece on this and would prefer not to argue,just had to get that off my chest because I keep seeing black dudes giving the same advice out over and over again. Teaching black men the "Safe Negro,Assimilation starter kit":respect:. I would only be caught dead dressing like this,and thats due to tradition.

I always wanted a corvette convertible,but I wouldn't want people looking at me and all inside my car so a convertible is not for me. I still give people the "What you looking at:henbron:" when they be all in my shyt now.

Exactly.

Distressed denim is fine as long as your knees aint showing :skip:
Naw you can't be in the "get your prostate checked" age range with holes in your jeans

I used to live near a lake down here and the 50-60 year old CACs in Christian Audigier looked absolutely ridiculous

Honestly I haven't cared too much about clothes or fashion since I was in college.

Give me a polo shirt, some regular ass jeans, and maybe some Timbs or something and I'm good. :yeshrug:

Directionally he has the right idea. But that's where your own style has to come into play.

Yeah don't wear super baggy or super tight shyt, or shyt with a bunch of labels...but V-necks on anyone is a simple look that always works. If you have taco meat showing, trim it down perhaps, hair retains odor so I'm not clowning if someone does it.

Not sure if I lost or won, but I'm well into my 30s and have never had a single chest hair. :skip:

the jeep he posted is a nice looking ride but I have never heard women flip out over jeep...maybe fancy redneck chics idk
Young women, West Coast and Southern women, and white girls especially love Jeeps.

I can attest to this with a pretty big sample size of them.

Ask any college aged woman about her favourite car: Jeep, Range, G-Wagon; only one of them is financially within reach.
