Fashion You Don't Understand

[Pike]

I don't know if purses/handbags count as fashion or not, but I don't understand those either.

I don't see why one would need to carry anything around besides a wallet, their phone, and their keys. My wallet and phone go in my pocket and my keys are on a carabiner and attach to my belt loop.

I can understand purses and handbags in general, but clutches are stupid.

You literally don't understand it? Like, the idea that someone would need a bag like product to carry around their stuff? What about backpacks?

I carry around on a daily basis: wallet, keys, cell phone, bottle of water, a snack, and a pen or two. Bags are essential. And if I'm with Del Murder, I carry his DS or PSP in my bag too. And occasionally a book. And if I'm going to the movies, a giant ziplock bag full of homemade kettlecorn.

When I'm going out to a club or a concert, or doing something physical like goofing off on the sea wall I like to carry the bare minimum (wallet, phone, keys). On an average day I carry all that stuff, pepper spray, tic tacs, secret things in that secret tampon pocket all purses have, a tampon or two, pamprin (even if it's not my time some other woman might need this stuff!), iPod + radio transmitter, flash drive, and a comb. I consider that relatively light. A lot of women wear make-up and/or have kids so they like to carry a crapton more than that. I don't like handbags because I feel like I'll forget them somewhere, but when I'm wearing something without pockets and I want to carry just the minimum I use something like this:

I guess I don't get why anyone would need to carry all that stuff around in the first place

[Jessweeee♪]

I don't really need to, they just come in handy! Pepper spray for self defense, tic tacs for minty freshness, secret things are for fun , tampons and pamprin I hope I don't have to explain, flash drive so I can take my work home, iPod/radio transmitter so I can have my music in the car (I can't leave it in there when it's 115 degrees), and a comb because I have no AC and I have to drive with the windows down (also my town is like the 7th windiest city in the nation or something).

I love having a whole lot of super secret stuff in my purse, because it can hold just about everything. Water bottles, books, makeup, snacks. But it becomes a goddamn bottomless pit when I'm trying to find my keys.

I don't understand the matching colored nike shoes and sports bras/track outfits.

Clutches are for going out to bars and clubs. So you don't have a huge bulky purse getting in the way of your freak-dancing.

Or so I have assumed.

[Quindiana Jones]

Oh yeah, I know what they're for, I just think "pffrt, lazy bitches" whenever I see them. Who would sacrifice such magnificence for a poncy thing like a clutch bag?

[Tigmafuzz]

Skants.

[Jinx]

Especially since you have to hold clutches the entire time.

[Jiro]

Or you end up ditching them with that one friend who just sits there surveying the scenery all night.

Where do you keep your pads, or tampons then? Or is your wallet so huge that you can fit, everything you need in there? I understand the need for purses, but not massive purses unless moms are using it to double as a baby bag when they go out with their little ones.

I have purses, but I normally just carry my purse-like messenger bag around which often carries a book, pads, gum, keys, comb, DS, cell phone, and my butterfly wallet with my money and cards in it.

Surely though you women know when you're due a period based on when you last had one? At least roughly speaking, so surely you don't have to carry lady things around all the damn time?

As a man, the whole "do I need a bag?" is resolved quite simply by asking myself how long I'm going and where to, what I've gotta carry. If it's out to a club hell no, is it warm enough to forget my jacket? If so that'll get ditched too. I went out clubbing the other night I had my phone, my key, my wallet (which carried a condom or two incase I met a girl and was lucky enough to get invited back to hers or if one of my housemates did) job done. I only carry a bag if I have to like take lunch in to work, carry clean/dirty work laundry in to work, am taking a book or my ds somewhere, will be at that destination for more than 24 hours.
