George Lucas wearing Lewis Hamilton Ferrari Stormtrooper Star Wars shirt

What else frightens us nowadays? A lot. Most of us are scared about the economy, of losing our jobs, or that our favorite team will move cities, leaving us with a closet full of useless George Lucas wearing Lewis Hamilton Ferrari Stormtrooper Star Wars shirt and broken dreams. We’re scared of loneliness and having no friends. We’re afraid of sexual inadequacy. Of getting cancer. Of getting old and breaking a hip. According to Gavin Johnston, a behavioral science–based branding consultant, many brands prey on what anthropologists dub “panoramic fear”—namely, “an overwhelming sense that control has been lost, prompting consumers to scramble to find any kind of comfort they can.”

To me, what’s important is comfort/less pain (knee arthrosis). The only effort I’m willing to make is a half-hearted attempt to purchase shoes that fulfil both of our conditions, and don’t break the bank. That effort is currently ongoing but the task is not yet done, which means his efforts to keep my feet dry, and mine to be more comfortable, continue to George Lucas wearing Lewis Hamilton Ferrari Stormtrooper Star Wars shirt in the rainy fall weather we’ve been having. The other ongoing argument we have also has to do with weather and clothing, in that he runs cold and I run hot. So while he’s bundled up in thick socks, warm boots, thermal underwear, heavy trousers, a t-shirt, sweater, heavy coat, warm hat, scarf, and gloves, I’m wearing light trousers, a t-shirt and a light jacket. A neighbor has commented that while walking together, we look like we’re coming from, or going to, entirely different places. My hands are still often warmer than his. Yes, I know, cold hands warm heart! So anyway, I can’t trust his evaluation of the weather, and he can’t trust mine. We both try to make allowances but it’s hard to judge for someone who’s so different than yourself. He’s trying to stay warm, and I’m trying to not sweat too much (sorry, TMI). To sum up, I’m fortunate that he doesn’t really care that I make little effort with my appearance, and he’s willing to take up George Lucas wearing Lewis Hamilton Ferrari Stormtrooper Star Wars shirt slack.

I want to wrap this up so here’s my observation: if a guy is wearing some 2XU men’s running tights or some other sporty-looking fitness/athletic leggings and he’s coming/returning or engaged in fitness/sports than he’ll be just fine, especially if his lower torso is mostly covered and the exposure of the genitals isn’t inappropriate. On the flipside, if a guy chooses a floral print or a distinctly feminine pair of leggings and walks into a formal event with his crotch fully exposed (and there’s no underwear, liner or padding) then he’ll be making a complete fool of himself and most would strongly feel he’d be in violation of decency laws in terms of indecent exposure. Beyond that, the question in similar almost begs to ask how can a guy feel confident/positive about his body while wearing a cocktail dress? A cocktail dress is clearly and entirely a female garment. Leggings aren’t entirely and exclusively a female garment but I’d say 90% of women wear them while only 4% of men wear them so if you’re going to wear George Lucas wearing Lewis Hamilton Ferrari Stormtrooper Star Wars shirt I’d suggest a sporty/masculine pair and to not make it a genital freak-show in order to feel good about yourself….unless you’re an exhibitionist in which case exposing yourself as much as possible is your goal and we all have to listen to the rationalization……
