The trick to really looking fashionable is to change how
you dress based on occasions.
For example... only dress casual on Fridays, people
will notice that more than if you dress casual all week.
And it'll send a subconscious message to people that
you have something better to do on the weekend.

I know your name is Andy and not 'Fire exit', but where does this arrow
point to?

When I bought my first pair of trainers, here in the UK, nearly 40 years ago it
was short for training shoes. Before that we had sandshoes (gutties), plimsolls
(bumpers), tennis shoes and there are lots of regional variations on the names.
IIRC Bumpers were so called because they looked like bumper cars or dodgem cars.

Interesting, I've never heard that one. We used to call them 'daps' - I
have no idea why, but I believe the army used it around the Wiltshire area.

Bumpers was/is a west coast thing (I think) but I thought plimsolls was
generically English.

Yep. From the second image (the close-up) one can instantly tell that
you're not him, but from the first image one could be misleaded.
