Pretty soon, I won't be able to wear anything I own...

I've already retired my red baseball cap. It's actually kind of nice, and is emblazoned with the MC emblem on the front. But it's solid red, and from the back or side could be mistaken for a MAGA lid. Fuck that.

Now? Shit, I probably have 3 or 4 pair of pants that are khaki or light tan colored. Used to be half my wardrobe.

What's a guy to do?

They're going to have to pry my tiki torches from my cold dead hands.

I think you're all okay as long as you stay away from the white shirt/khaki look.

& not wear a white shirt with the khaki. We can't self-ban all tan/khaki pants. That wouldn't be fair.

My husband has a red baseball cap with some company name, and I asked him not to wear it since *trump*. Thankfully he was good with that.

They might call you a hippy, but no one would ever mistake you for a Trump fan if you're wearing tie dyed apparel in an explosion of wild colors and eye-popping patterns. It’s impossible to be sad while wearing tie dyed clothes, especially if you accessorize with "I MISS 44!" or a similar catchy slogan embroidered on all your tees.

Or add some iron-on patches.



Maybe it is time to update the wardrobe? You can still be cool - with a new look.

I will probably be suspicious of anyone I see wearing the uniform. I don't even own a white polo, but vow to never wear a white blouse with khakis again.

Well, being on a fixed income going shopping, is an activity that I have to strictly control.

No, I don't have any white polo shirts. White undershirts, as we used to call them.

Thanks for your support.
