"You should dress nicer driving an expensive car like that. You look like a slob."

[eljay]

Back here " Myer " is one of Australia's largest department stores and synonymous with " style and fashion ", can be expensive and there's one in every major city here. Because they are well known and the department stores are big with big front windows, the expression I used became a catch cry.

I'd looked it up in Urban Dictionary, but your explanation is more complete. In my town, one of our department stores in old days was named Myer's, so it gave me a good laugh. Proof we're more alike than different on our two continents.

Speaking of clueless remarks:

A friend who's an attorney just reported this to me. She was standing near the valet station at a hoity-toity event in L.A. for judges and lawyers when a Stinger pulled up in the line of expensive luxury cars. People turned, and several started talking about what it could possibly be, how exotic, etc. She, of course, knew, but she said nothing and just observed. A young newbie lawyer got out of the Stinger, and the snarky comments behind the old guard's hands started. "Well, you know his father's a judge," etc. But my favorite: "I remember when you had to earn a car like that!"

If Kia ever decided to advertise Stingers properly, this would be the perfect ad!

Old people don't wear Tevas. they wear birks or whatever knock-offs walmart sells. I wear Tevas almost year-round. It's not like it gets cold enough to need shoes around here

Yeah, but it sure as heck gets HOT enough to need shoes

Happened to hit a heat wave when we visited Vegas a few years back - 110-117 (43-47C). Then went to "cold" San Clemente to cool off for a few days, around 95 (35C). Ran into guys from Phoenix, escaping from 120+ (50+)... Wouldn't want to step on any asphalt in my bare feet in that weather..

Nothing wrong with the way we dress down here, example of our Sunday best.

I can't see the dhurrie packet tucked into the sleeves, but I'm hoping that is a "Winnie Blue" he's sucking on

I only wish I could buy some fireball at my local Costco....

You can't? Oh. Utah. State liquor stores right? Just swing on south and pick it up in Flagstaff

Yeah, that asphalt's pushing 160F (71C) when it's 120 out. Pisses my bug off to no end too. I have to pull the decklid to keep it from overheating. Usually in the summer I'll only drive it to shows, it's too hot to commute with no A/C here. As a winter daily though? All the time. He's no speed demon, but he never fails to turn heads at 75 on the freeway.

But when it's that hot out and your feet are hot and sweaty, it's trivial to go step in the pool in your tevas. Not so much in boots.

Some of the richest (Millionaires) people that I have met in my life dress like slobs, they simply do not care. Chances are that many people who overdress for no reasons are probably just projecting what they wish they were.

That, or they've decided that money counts, everything else is secondary. Others decide that they are happier when they "look sharp". Others decide to pursue virtues or hobbies that aren't readily visible. It's what makes life interesting and fun

I have always been a tee shirt and board shorts/jeans kind of guy. I own exactly one necktie, and it's currently wrapped around my Nightmare Before Christmas tree as garland (because it's a Jack tie). I'm fortunate enough to work for a company who's dress code is "you must be dressed", basically, and the C-levels all show up in more or less the same thing I wear on a daily basis. Generally on the weekends I'd be in a tee/shorts/Tevas (no socks, you filthy heathens!), so even today I wasn't far off of that, just grubby and disheveled. But I'm with you. My time is "IDGAF about how I look as long as my underwear are clean" time. Evidently that's just a bit too casual for some of the older crowd.

OK , we need to see a shot of the whole outfit ! Let the Court of The Forum judge your offense ......................bawaaaaa ! whatever you wore I could beat you heading to the boat/cabin I'm sure , with a load of tools and building materials !!

Only way for me to "look sharp" is to have a bunch of razors stuck in me.
I cant make a suite look good (Think tall penguin)

Our society always judges what you wear. It’s really sad.
On a side note I learned a long long time ago that most rich people that worked hard for there money usually never get all dressed up on a daily.
I’ve met several farmers who look and smell terrible and you walk outside and see a brand new gmc 3500 fully loaded which is like 80k..
Also met a retired truck driver when he was riding around in his Ferrari..
So you never know...

My father in law is a Urologist with more money than I could probably ever hope to make. When he's not in his scrubs he wears jeans and a shirt. This is the same man who also chooses to drive Mitsubishi's...so another example of someone who has money but doesn't feel the need to show it off.
