I'm 38. I have never consciously "followed the fashion." I mean, I certainly have followed it my whole life, but always subconsciously. Wearing a slim tailored suit just felt like the way it should look when I bought my first. I just liked the look of not wearing socks. Of course I was being influenced, it's not a coincidence that happened to like those things when they were fashionable, but I didn't realize it.

But I can't say the same for a baggy suit or this flared boot cut nonsense. I don't feel any of it at all. When Todd Snyder starts putting out goofy fits then maybe I'll pay attention, not because some 19 year old dork wearing 1999 Kohls jeans said it's not cool anymore.
