Nudist Thoughts on Designer Clothes??
So I am curious how many of you nudists are really into fashion since I am currently watching Project Runway which is a creative show in which they compete for the best clothing designs.
Although I am not really into fashion too much, I do try to find clothes that at least fits me and of decent quality but don't absolutely need designer brands. I am much more about a nice pair of underwear which seems counterintuitive since you do not see them in general public.......lol.
Do nudists care about designer clothes that much?
Any thoughts.
Personally I do not enjoy spending money on things that I do not enjoy. So my clothing budget is very low compared to most people. I buy jeans at Rural King which is about the only clothing item that I buy new . I do also occasionally buy souviener shirts or hoodies. But my collection of shorts and tropical shirts are pretty much found at thrift stores. I also tend to wear items that are comfy. Loose fitting. No turtle necks
or tight sleeves. As for designer anything that is almost a never. I do have a very comfy long sleeved Eddie Bauar shirt which is have certainly got my $4 I paid for out of it. I have some knock off Polo canvas shoes I paid $7 for in a country most of the world does not even acknowledge
exists ( Transnistria) . I had to buy them because the tour company did not consider Crocs to be closed toed for my Chernobyl tour.
Jeans and tee shirts are my Sunday best. Relaxed fit Wranglers are as much of a designer label as I have ever gotten and it will probably continue to be that way.
The designer clothes that are worn by celebreties on the red carpet often bring me amusement. How can the women even move in some of them and then there are the almost nude designs that make me wonder if the wearers are nudists at other times of the year.

Every t shirt, tank top and hoodie I own is one of two categories.
Souviener of trip or sports team.
Given to me because I participated in a charity event.
Wrangler denim carpenter pants for the loose fit in the thighs and crotch. And suspenders rather than belt to hold them up. Tee shirts, flanel, insulated flannel and larger insulated flannel hoodies that can be layered up as the temp drops.
I do have a pair of black dress pants and a long sleeved white dress shirt for weddings and funerals.
I fit in the 'couldn't care much less' category when it comes to fashion, though I do appreciate people who take the time in the clothed world to dress nicely or make the effort to pretty up the world with their outfit. My Sunday goin' to church outfit is flip-flops and fuck the rest unless it's cold out. We live about forty yards from the chapel door, so it's all about a towel and a smile (and a mask for the moment, of course), and grab a hymnal on the way in the door! My honey's outfit on a warm Sunday is sandals, a cup of orange juice, and dangly earrings.
Consumerism is driving the designer clothing industry and I wish more people would begin to question the 'keeping up with the Joneses' attitude when it comes to what one truly needs to own in clothing. Minimalist thinking helps the environment and she could really use all the help we can give her. The textiles used in, and the making of clothes marketed in the US, predominantly come from countries who do not adhere to sound employee practices, often using either incarcerated people or paying employees unsustainable wages, and in inhumane conditions, to try to squeeze every penny of profit out of the process. That's one more damned good reason to use the clothes you already have (if you've gotta get dressed) instead of buying the newest fashion trend.
My woman says I have more clothes than any other nudist in the world and it's likely true. I keep way too much for my nude resort living life. I have paired down a little but should throw at least half my crappy clothes on the bonfire and dance the naked dance around it as it all goes up in flames. Eventually, and unfortunately, I will need some new clothes soon because of job hunting, since most every article of clothing is either old or threadbare or blown out in the crotch (damned jeans don't last the way they used to).

Might be a little cold for dancing outdoors in VA this time of year, even if you have a bonfire.
