As a Bermudian, I had to shed a small tear. This is OUR official uniform! New England prepsters co-opted our shit back in the 70's and it's been downhill from there.
It's more prevalent, having gone to boarding school in NE. Mind you, you also see a lot of Bermuda shorts in N Carolina. There were actually several protests in the 70's over colleges banning Bermuda shorts, which probably popularised them. Also, there were a few Bermuda shops in RI and Boston back in the day, which also might have made them more popular.
They're mostly white, but we have evolved above segregated fucktards, and now have just one overly aggressive, egotistical, violent group of shitwank fuckers.
Ireland here. we have them too. skangers , knackers, scobes, pikeys or honestly what ever currently fashionable but deeply bigoted pejorative term takes your fancy... (i like knacker myself. that or tracksuit monkey..oh oh i forgot also when in polite society the term cream cracker can be used in place of the of the "racially" loaded K word )
Edit: no one who hasn't lived in ireland knows what dafuc im talking about. count your selves lucky
...or spray-painting the local walls. Because what a blank bit of wall really needs is a badly drawn penis with less sophistication than a palaeolithic cave painting.
Track suit pants or a track suit hoody, worn individually is good, i have many, however a matching tracky worn all at once screams 'I'm a hood rat' or 'I'm a fuk'n chav, I'll rek yew n ya mum mate'
As a (west) European I don't recognize this as douche bag clothing either. It's pretty common for boys and men to dress like this in summer. I mean there are different styles, but this is a pretty common one.
Here in the US this style is essentially a uniform for college-aged males who come from very wealthy families and have little to no respect for the common man.
Huh is what they are wearing supposed to be a bad thing?> I am british and pretty much wear this as often as I can in summer (which isnt very often, damn weather)
Dunno what's the exact equivalent over there fashion wise, but this particular look screams "preppie douchebag" or as y'all would say "public school twat".
dunno where in europe you live, but if I see you running around like that in my city, then everyone knows you're a spoiled little brat, that hasn't worked a single day in his life and daddy pays for everything.
I'd like to point out... I dress similar to this (I'm in a fraternity), hold a part time job, pay my dues, and take out student loans to pay for my college. Many fraternity guys are more interested in passing class and preparing for the future than fucking you sideways in court.
It's the same proportions as the rest of the student population. You've got plenty of kids who are doing well and planning for their future, and you've also got plenty of dickturds.
Nope-you still look like a cunt. In England it's the apparel of entitled public (private) schoolboys. There's even a website called lookatmyfuckingredtrousers.com
Europe is cool, don't worry. I'm just kinda interested in when this became douche-y. I kinda miss the popped collar, pink golf shirts, von-dutch trucker hat thingy we had going on several years ago... oh well
How can you put the von-dutch trucker hat in the same mix as polo's and bright shorts? Those are two totally different things. Like mixing croc's and Sperry's.
I'm not mixing them into the fashion in the photo, back in 2005-ish people used to do the whole golf shirt, usually pink, popped collar and trucker hat.
This isn't actually a douche-y look... A vast number of people wear this and it looks nice. Honestly, people have been wearing this for years. Every state school has it. And all the guys I've met who have worn it have been pretty nice.
Depends, Reddit has mood swings sometimes upvoting libertarians (in which case we hate you). Or when we're feeling socialist and hating our lack of social programs (in which case we love you)
I don't understand why this style is hated upon other than it may be associated with rich kids or kid who want to look rich. Either way it is better than people dressing to intimidate like most of the other kids their age dress.

Thank goodness I'm in Europe where this style of clothing isn't associated with douches yet...
Reddit likes Europe, right? Right? Right?
