<p>Hahaha. By Clark “ankle boots,” do you mean Wallabees?</p>
<p>Yup what goes around comes around…there were many knock-offs this winter but yes, the same thing we remember from college were quite “in” this year.</p>
<p>They definitely were; those, and topsiders. I was looking at one of my school’s yearbooks from like 1990, and there was a picture of a student wearing them!</p>

<p>I think the desert boot is more popular now, at least that is the shoe that has been replicated in fashion catalogs.</p>
<p>I’m still seein’ most of my guy peers wearin’ the Wallabees</p>
<p>They were both very popular in the '70s. my H has the Wallabees but he never wears them. I remember the crepe soles seemed to pick up lint, but they had more arch support than the desert boots.
People here wear a lot of converse.</p>
<p>So I’ve heard from my parents. Converse? Where do you live? Haha</p>
<p>I was just out shoe shopping with son. He says both Wallabees and desert boots are quite popular with his fraternity. When I told him they were popular when I was in high school, he didn’t believe me.</p>
<p>Hahaha they definitely were</p>

<p>I saw saddle shoes at Nordstroms
Personally I hated mine- very stiff leather, both the desert boots & wallabees are much more comfortable.</p>
<p>I just spent a frustrating afternoon shopping with my S. All we wanted was a pair of khakis and a blue button down. That shouldn’t be too hard. Nordy’s tried to convince us that a 15" neck fit when we all knew it didn’t. Jos. Banks had everything we needed in the correct sizes. </p>
<p>S slept all the way home. Clothes shopping exhausts him. He doesn’t care at all what he wears.</p>
<p>Hahaha awww</p>
<p>I think my son is dressing at college much same as high school (casual). He buys most clothes at Kohl’s or JC Penney. At college he did add some underarmour shirts for layering, from REI.</p>
<p>We had a panic when he needed black “suit” (or jacket with pants) for a band concert. Luckily he was able to borrow one.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Dress clothes can actually be difficult for some men. University-age men commonly have small waistlines compared to the typical (older and obese) suit and dress shirt buyer, so it is fairly common to see new graduates or soon-to-graduate students at job interviews wearing rather poorly fitting suits and dress shirts.</p>
<p>^ lol 10char</p>
<p>Anything from American Eagle or Hollister. My son works at AE mainly for the employee discount!</p>
<p>Be sure the clothes are tradeable. Frosh 15, by Tday is not unheard of.</p>
<p>^ ???</p>
<p>“Frosh 15 by Tday” means freshmen getting noticeably fatter by Thanksgiving due to eating too much all-you-can-eat dining hall food. 15 pounds of fat gain is probably about 2 inches of waistline…</p>
<p>Strangely enough S2 lost 20 pounds freshman year. So now the suit I bought him his senior year of h.s. is waaay to big.</p>
