    Vests

    Aren't vests the most useless invention? When have you ever said to yourself: "My arms are so hot... but my torso is freezing"?

    Discuss this and other useless things that somehow still have people using them.

    They're some kind of fashion statement. Some kind of fashion statement by idiots.

    Also useless: this damn finger print ID thing on my new laptop. Why do I need that? Why would the average person ever use something like that? It inflated the price of this thing, and I HATE it. I also hate this damn mouse pad that ****s up all the time and stops working for no apparent reason for random amounts of time.

    Is it not only rappers and boy bands that wear vests? Vests are actually supposed to serve a function. Lifeboat vests inflate with air to stop you from drowning, bulletproof vests stop bullets from piercing through your body, certain vests provide great storage space without sacrificing mobility. Commando's would wear them. Each vest should serve a purpose. Although, when was the last time you wore clothes without thinking "Yeah those would look good on me" as opposed to "These jeans will serve a suitable function in protecting and warming my legs"?

    Anyway, as for fasion/design I think those teashade sunglasses are stupid (not nearly as stupid as those ones with the lines through them... I think they are kayne glasses or something?) Anyway, the lenses are far too small to fully protect your eyes from the sun, and therefor are only worn by those who wish to look like ozzy osbourne or john lennon. Seriously. Who wears teashade sunglasses.

    I think the point is literally that they are useless (talking about fashionable vests). They symbolize that you are wearing more clothing than you actually need, so it's like a status thing. Like, everyone can use a good pair of shoes, pants, shirt, etc. Anything more is luxurious.

    To be fair, he would look just as good with that vest on my floor.

    Funnily enough, I have felt that my arms were hot while the rest of me is warm, though vests are generally silly. I still approve of denim vests...

    But that may be because I spend most of my time standing in the snow with my hands on hotplates.

    Congratulate you, and hope that your arms cool off quick smart!

    P.S: That's a singlet, which follows the same misallocation of clothing-to-bodyheat. Don't get me started on his headband.

    I have a couple of vests. Then again, they -are- cute. I might layer a lighter jacket underneath. But I genuinely can't stand the feeling of coats. Especially when driving. I have a long pea coat I love very much, though.. Something about the way coats kinda hinder my arm movement and functionality .. Idk. I'm weird.

    I also am dead set against those Sketchers Lifts... With the Daddy'$ Girl commercial. That ish is creepy.

    I wear vests when its cold and I'm working. I work outdoors all the time, and it's easier to be able to have more range of motion around my arms and shoulders instead of wearing a full jacket. Or, when I have to shovel snow. It lets my body breathe a little easier and I don't become drenched in sweat as badly.

    As for fashion vests, meh. Not my style

    I for one think vests(like the one Robin's ;P wearing) on a man is sexy. Ive always wanted my own bullet proof vest I could wear under my everyday clothes...n I might need one in the near future..North Korea will follow through sooner or later.

    Also I dont hold any vests of my own. They're cute on girls but that aint my style either.

    I'm wearing a vest right now, but you can't really see it because I'm wearing a jumper. But it serves a purpose, I swear! I just like the feeling of one between my skin and whatever I wear on top of it. I usually wear shirts with the buttons low because I have boobs that pop buttons sometimes, and I don't really like my bra on show. Also, my back and front would be on FIRE today without the vest top because this jumper is wool, and kinda itchy. ;-;

    I don't like wearing them with nothing else though. I don't like my upper arms on display - never have, probably near will because they're scarred. I don't even like the look on other people. I guess I live in England, and I don't think it's ever hot enough to warrant dressing down. I mean, it's April and we had snow today - SNOW. Spring started last month... But I digress. People can wear what they want!

    EDIT: As for suit/dress vests, they're pretty cute. Espesh on Joseph Gordon-Levitt. <3

    I wear a vest every day at work. A safety vest! It's yellow and I have an orange one on its way via the post! It has a zipper instead of Velcro!! Keeps me safe from being run the f*ck over by forklift... Even though idk how anyone could not see a human being in their way, unless you're blind and if you're f*cking blind, you probably shouldn't be driving a forklift.

    I like vests. I used to have this cool black vest with purple polka dots and purple collar. I loved it! I wish I still had it. I could totally pull that s*it off. It's nearly winter here too, it'd keep my torso mighty warm I'd say.

    You know what I hate? Crocs. The rubber sandal/flip flop thingies with holes in them. Idk what they're called in other places, but they just look stupid and I just don't understand them.

    I also wear a safety vest (mine's orange), though I only wear it on Thursdays. It has reflective tape on it so the idiots driving down the road will see me on my way to work. I leave while it's still dark, and though I now have a headlight for my bike, Grandma still insists I wear it until I buy a taillight.

    It also is a beneficial part of my wardrobe during hunting season. I don't want to get shot at because some drunk hunter thinks I am deer or something as I ride through the woods.

    I wear vests when I'm feeling like a little faggot, which is never. Since I'm not stupid, I understand that if it's cold, you wear long sleeves, if it's hot, you wear short sleeves, if you're an asshole, you don't wear a shirt, and if you're a little faggot, you wear vests.

    I wear my fleece vest all the time to work, it's more of a practicality thing than a warmth and comfortable thing, I find it hard to work with long bulking sleeves of a jumper or jacket so in times like that I have my vest. It leaves your arms free to get in under machines into bushes etc etc.
    I wear long sleeved shirts as well though and if I get to hot I roll them up and I am still quite comfortable with my vest on.

    Vests are the bomb haters gonna hate. I'll post a pic of me wearing my vest one day that will change everyones mind haha.

    I wear a vest at work everyday. The vest at Lowe's are super uncomfortable though. I take it off every chance that I get.

    Lowe's trumps Walmart (I was once forced to work there)
    .... Just saying.

    At least you can wear whatever you want.

    How do I get into that Crao por whatever thingy?
