Hankk Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 (edited) Hello boys - I received a request for another installment of Hankk's Corner, so I thought that I'd give it a shot. I'll be here periodically throughout the day to answer your questions about style or fashion. Please feel free to chime in. Fire away. Hankk's Tip of the Day: Unless you are a contractor on the job or the like, take that cell phone off of your belt. Put it in pocket, preferably your jacket pocket. BTW - your "clever" questions and comments aren't that clever. I promise. Edited March 16, 2007 by Hankk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whomper Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 (edited) Hankk..I have had long hair since the 8th grade..It has gone from crazy long in the band days to now a short ponytail with shaved sides..Every year I say im going to cut it then I just dont..My wife is a hair dresser..She says if Im going to cut it short I need to grow out the sides so she can layer it..This will result in me looking like Carmine from Laverne and shirley for a few months..Anyway..I was thinking along the lines of a Long short haircut..Long hair but cut in a short style if you can visualize what im talking about..What do you think ? Go fully short or dabble ? Edited March 16, 2007 by whomper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hankk Posted March 16, 2007 Author Share Posted March 16, 2007 What are your thoughts on fake Rolex and TAG's? I really don't know what to say about them, except I would never wear one. They are likely poorly made, which, in and of itself, is a reason not to buy one. Everybody who knows anything is going to realize that they are fake. They just scream that you're some type of wanna-be, I suppose. Lame or unseemly is probably the best way to describe the sporting of such an item.

The Irish Doggy Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Dear Hankk, I have a jean jacket from the early 90s that I swear is still in style. My fiancee claims otherwise. Can you set her straight? Thanks in advance. Doggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go fully short or dabble ? Congratulations on your decision to sport an adult haircut. You need to grow your hair long before you can cut it short? I'm not sure that I know what you are talking about. If your wife is a hairdresser, I'd listen to her. But it seems to me that you should cut it short all over - perhaps shorter than you ultimately want it - and let it grow out a bit. Unless you're in a boy band, the uneven look probably isn't for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PantherDave Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Hankk The other night I wore a shirt that went well with my brown belt, but I had black socks-so I wore black shoes. Mrs. PD made me go change my socks and put my brown shoes on? Correct or not-Thanks PD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs. PD made me go change my socks and put my brown shoes on? Correct or not-Thanks PD. I'm kind of confused here. Why would you try to coordinate a shirt with a belt? Seems kind of overkill to me. As a rule, your socks should compliment your trousers, which, in most cases, means match. The color of your shoes depends on the color of your trousers. I'm assuming that your wife made you put on brown socks and brown shoes. If brown complimented your trousers, then she was correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hankk Posted March 16, 2007 Author Share Posted March 16, 2007 boxers or briefs? Personal preference. Although if you are trying to get somebody pregnant, you might want to wear boxers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIA T_bone65 Well, it's not something that I would do, but I don't think that its "ghey." To a certain extent, I think that you get a pass due to your medical condition.

whitem0nkey Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 dear Hankk, A few years back I saw Michael Jackson goes to court dressed like captain crunch, but a friend of mine said he should have dressed like a leprecon. What is the proper court room attire for someone like mr. Jackson? thanks, Whitem0nkey PS not related to Bubbles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure that I know what you are talking about. My sides are shaved pretty much..What she means is I have to grow out the shaved sides unless I go buzz cut if I plan on getting a short haircut that blends. Plus I wanted to use my Carmine from Laverne and Shirley reference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Holy Roller Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 My wife insists that my habit of wearing baseball style caps will eventually cause baldness. Does she have any basis to make such a claim. (I have been wearing them for over 40 years now with no signs of baldness). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure that there are any "do's and don'ts." It depends on whether you want the collar to show or anticipate that it will show.

Hankk Posted March 16, 2007 Author Share Posted March 16, 2007 Can you ever be too old to wear Vans? With very casual dress, obviously. I suppose it depends what they look like. If they're in a crazy checkerboard pattern or the like, I'd say yes. If they're solid/relatively sedate, I'd say no. But, the only time that you should be wearing them is when your are skateboarding, or participating in some type of sporting activity or maybe working around the house.

But I think that baseball caps are pretty much like tennis shoes when it comes to when you should be wearing them. In the case of caps, you can add plowing a field to the list.
