HAHA! Me too!! It really depends on where you are. 99.999% of the people where I live wear camo at some point. One of my close friends wore her boots with her dress pants to church because she forgot to take them off after she fed her horse. Guess I should add her to the list too! Gav's favorite boots are his camo boots. Yesterday he even begged to wear them, so I let him. I'm probably scarring him for life, shame on me. LOL
I gotta laugh - my 8 yr old daughter wears camo to school at least once a week. Has anyone looked in the kids clothes section - tons of camo. My daughter will not even wear pink camo because that is not "real" camo. I applaud her for being a bit different and wearing what she wants not what everyone else is. She also does not worry (much yet) about what other people think nor do I. We are probably upper middle class in a great neighborhood. Although my wife calls me a redneck (hang my hunting clothes outside to dry) all the time I may just be but I do not care. Of course we always dress my daughter as the occasion dictates.
Perhaps I should have been more clear. The old army fatigue jungle camo is "fashionable", or so they say. Even nonhunters wear it. That is different from wearing your hunting camo, such as a realtree pattern. That is white trashy. Glad I could clear that up.
I'm thinking of wearing this nice dress shirt to one of our shareholder's retirement party Saturday night. What do y'all think? Dark brown dress pants, or black? I'm thinking dark brown.
Hooker & Vito, you both are very judgemental and sterotyping A LOT of people who aren't anything like you perceive them. In fact, people in this area view "camo" fatigues much more white trash than hunting camo.
Of course, and we both know that. But that is the point. Without knowing someone, it is human nature to cast first judgement by their appearance. We all do it. To deny that is being untruthful with yourself. You would judge a young man wearing a baggy white t-shirt, baggy pant, and a side-cocked flat bill hat differently from a young man wearing jeans, camo shirt, and boots, no? If you say no, you are a liar. If you say yes, then you are sterotyping and casting judgement.
I really depends on the shoes otherwise you risk offending the non camo wearing share holders. Tis tis .....your so judgmental.
I have both black and brown dress shoes. So the shoes would match whatever slacks I chose. Obviously. You're.
Nice to know there are still discriminating people left in this world. Let start a club, a movement is too much work and club allows us to be judgmental of potential members.
Boots with camo and, since it is a formal event, leather boots and not rubber. I thought you knew how to dress properly?
You could be president of the Southern Satirical wing, hell if you'd like run the entire national organization. Now what do we name the club?
Well maybe there are a lot of people who find it offensive and don't appreciate you stereotyping them as white trash for wearing camo outside of hunting. Hooker, when I see young men wearing baggy pants and I can see their boxers, yes, my first thought is "Really fella? Nobody wants to see your underwear", my cousin wears his hat to the side & I think it looks silly but I've never judged him to the extent you all are judging a camo shirt and/or hat. I meant it when I said I try not to judge. My stepson's mom has a boyfriend who wears baggy jeans, hats crooked and jordans. But, I don't judge him, that's his style and that's what he thinks works for him and his personality. Whatever. Who am I to dress anyone but myself? He once even wore a button up plaid type shirt with his tennis shoes for "country" pictures. I giggled about it but moved on. Their definition of "country" in their county is a lot different than ours where we live. It's NOT my business what other people choose to spend their money on, wear to school, dress their children in, wear to church, wear to a ball game, wear to Wal-mart or any other occassion. It's really not your business either to be so quick to judge.
My husband tells me that back when everyone paid by check instead of debit/crdit cards he would be asked for ID if he was wearing jeans, etc., but never when wearing a suit. You are judged by what you wear. My husband is a lawyer also and he says even the lawyers with long hair wear suits. I am a mommy with two daughters not yet old enough for school, but they will not wear camo to school. That's for the woods. I think the problem is that people are not sure of the kind of statement you are trying to make. And I would expect my daughters to obey me without question. My husband doesn't wear camo unless we're hunting. And we are definitely outdoors type people. Our first date was him taking me to the range and teaching me to shoot. (He didn't realize it was our first date until months later when I informed him. ) I didn't date while in high school, but if I had I would not have dated someone wearing camo to school. It just seems a little weird.
For you people who call a few of us White trash for wearing camo outside of hunting- If I were to see you while with my daughter who Is wearing a camo shirt do you feel strong enough about It that you would tell that to me (I'm white trash) In person?
In my defense, I think all southerners are white trash. That way I don't have to stereotype them into different groups.
Well, sign me up. I'd rather be non-judgemental "white trash" everyday for the rest of my life than what you are portraying yourself to be. Just sayin'. Have a nice day Matt!
