How hard is it to find a pair of pants? I’ve been shopping at the same store for my entire life (Sellerly’s), buying the same pants, shoes, shirts, etc., and suddenly they don’t have my pants any more. I bought some Levis, but I’m not convinced. This is a pants conspiracy.
I did think about buying a different shirt…I looked at the tee shirt rack and there were all sorts of colors (I’ve always worn white), but I held them up by my face in the mirror and couldn’t decide which color best suited me. One time I did buy some black tees, but I never wore them. So I bought a three pack of white tees. My mom hated that about me. She bought me a suit (which I’ve worn twice, once to my parents’ funeral and once for my job interview) that I think cost more than some cars (I had to stand there while it was tailored to fit me–that was an experience. Still, even though it’s tailored to fit me when I wear it it looks slouchy) and was always trying to dress me up, or at least get me to dress differently. I do always look at the different styles, prints, colors–but none of that really fits me, y’know? What can I say? I picked a style that suited me and I’m thirty now and I haven’t changed it.
The Harry Standard survives, if for no other reason than that it is what I’m comfortable wearing. If I were to go to Hawaii, say, would I wear a Hawaiian shirt? Probably, but I’d have a hell of a time trying to decide which one.
