Guys? What is so Wrong with Overalls with Only One side Snapped?

[leftylady]

It makes the guys I know crazy. They say its stupid - like wearing a cap on sideways. I wear t-shirts underneath it. It's not like I have a raw boob hanging out or something.

Whats the deal? Is it really some sexual turn-on? And they don't want to admit it?

I am baffled in Kansas City.

1. What... kind... of tee shirt? (whew...)

[leftylady]

3. A Hanes Men's X-large

It goes clear to my knees.

2. In the olden days..

My Great-Grandfather would go out to the outhouse with only one side snapped on his overalls.

4. DUH....

It's the TEE SHIRT...take it off!!

[Spinzonner]

5. There is nothing wrong with it

people do lots of things to draw attention to themselves and as long as ther'e nothing illegal ....

6. Because

it is like a half open bedroom door?

8. Really?

I don't get guys at all. Here I am covered up by these extra large coveralls that are so long I have to roll up the poants - and this huge T-shirt. And the fact that the strap isn't fastened is a turn on?

I'm thinking I'll wear a hat on sideways tomorrow.

I'll probably get my bones jumped - huh?

21. Potential access.

The coveralls are kind of loose. The t-shirt is large enough to be sort of slippy-slidy. Everything looks like it could just "oops" slid right off. Or, if not, hands could very easily reach certain places...

[leftylady]

22. Whoa Nellie!

[Ready4Change]

23. Honestly.

Guys are wired pretty simply. Our brains fall back onto simple basics unless we spend a LOT of effort to focus on, er, higher ideals.

And the presence of a pretty lady in clothing that seems to support those simple basics doesn't help. Or does help. Depending on what the objective is.

7. I have seen people wearing overalls like that for a long time...

Mostly though it was guys with no shirt on underneath. The look can be sexy, but I think the fad has long since faded. That includes wearing overalls to begin with.

9. You are Obviously Not for the MidWest

Our fashions run about 20 years behind here.

We are just now getting rid of polyester suits.

10. It's only fair to include a picture

[leftylady]

11. I don't have a picture.

So - what other things fashionwise are real turn-ons - but not obvious?

[Richardo]

12. I'm getting kind of a 'Dexy's Midnight Runners' vibe going here...

C'mon Eileen!

[Double T]

13. Can be sexy!!!

The hell with fashion, anything goes!! If you like it, wear it!!

[sniffa]

14. couLd it be racist in nature?

in the Late 80's and earLy 90's that Look was popuLar in bLack/rap cuLture.

[tjdee]

15. I'm a girl, and it makes me crazy. It's like those shirts with one arm.

It drives me nuts. It feels uneven or something. If the fashion gods had intended for overalls to be worn on one side, they wouldn't have made two shouldery things. But then, they did do that with the shirts that have fabric for just one arm. And the shirts/skirts that end on a diagonal. All of those freak me out.

But you could try wearing something skimpier than a man's x-large, LOL. Maybe a tank top or something, see if that gets a different reaction. :evilgrin:

16. Wear 'em to Wednesday night's meetup

and I'll let you know!

[leftylady]

17. We have a meeting this Wednesday?

In Kansas City?

[evlbstrd]

18. Yes, 7 PM at the Westport Flea Market.

[leftylady]

19. Man, that is miles from where I live.

I work clear up in Platte City.

Do we have any meetings North of the River?

[evlbstrd]

20. They move around.

The last one was in Lawrence.

[Shell Beau]

24. There is nothing wrong with it, but I will admit that

every time I see it, it makes me want to go snap the other side. It just looks incomplete to me. But you know, different strokes for different folks!

[FLSurfer]

25. That's funny you would mention that.

When I first saw my future wife, she was wearing overalls with one button unsnapped. No hat on sideways, but carrying a motorcycle helmet.
I was putty.
I might mention I live on the beach, where girls wear much less clothing most of the time.
it's not just me?

12 years later, she just wears them when she wants something.

[leftylady]

28. That is so sweet.

[leftofthedial]

26. guys don't like it because

you don't have a raw boob hanging out

(actually I like that look just fine)

[leftylady]

27. Naw - that's too Paris Hilton.

Sides I'm too old for that kind of stuff. I have to go for the gimmick.
