Horizontal Stripes Make You Look…
Published by simon on March 16, 2006My friend likes to wear horizontal stripes. He isn’t pudgy or anything like that, he’s quite slim, actually. Not Kate Moss slim, but still not flabby either. More like Ryan Seacrest slim. Or should I say Seacresty? Okay, fine, fine, I need to lay off watching too much American Idol.
Anyways, this guy I know always wear horizontal stripes. I see him once or twice a week, and he’s always sporting the same fashion. Not one outfit all the time, but different outfits, but they all look alike.
We’re not talking thin stripes like a jailbird, but thick hoops like Dennis the Menace (the British lad, not the American one). Not as thick like girdles or the Bhoys of on the green side of Glasgow (okay, not many of you will get that reference), more like rugby rings.
I’ve seen him wear black and cream, black and white (you’d think it would look like a zebra, but you’d be wrong). He has a few other circular-ish combinations, I shan’t go into the specifics.
Of late I’ve noticed some of my friends wear solely polo tees sponsored by computer and IT firms, especially those that work in the industry. You know the type – white, black or navy blue, with the company name embroidered on the left breast and sometimes outer sleeve. Its usually Microsoft, HP, AutoCAD, or SAP. I myself have a few, but these guys wear them everyday, to work and to the mamak.
But not this horizontal-stripes-friend of mine. Even though he works in one of those firms, it’s alternating coloured strips for him all the way.
One day, if I’m in a strange mood, I’d probably ask him, “Hey, Joe*, what’s with the horizontal stripes? Are you advertising for a barber shop?!”
*not his real name.

Vertical strips make the wearer appear slimmer. Horizontal stripes….do quite the opposite.
i like guys in polo tees
stripes or not. 
but i agree that not everyone can pull off the horizontal strips thing.
I loved the british Dennis the Menace and his Mutt Gnasher! Use to follow the beano and dandy comics like crazy
That’s why I never wore a striped horizontal shirt…
i hope it isn’t the kinda guy who wears his pants up, up high high as well?? lolll
like eww.. minus infinity points.. lol
Some men can pull off horizontal stripes real well… *fans self* Is he hot, Simon? If he is, gimme his number!
din - horizontal strips make you look like a rugby player!
starcrossedangel - i tried to google some pix of the polo tees, but didn’t get any good ones.
nicktay - yeah, beano! and topper!
ken - actually thin stripes are quite nice. not so noticeable.
cyber-red - ahhaha… i’ll try to sneak a cam shot of him next time!
sherrygin - well, female friends think he’s quite hot, actually… hmmm… let me ask him about giving out numbers.
actually, i was a rugbly player. The reason we wear horizontal stripes is to look big to scare the opponent.
Maybe there is a bulk discount?
