My BIL dresses like this (or wears hipster jeans) and he’s not gay (that I know of!) but definitely is way more into clothes and fashion than any woman I’ve met. He works in an office though. He’s too feminine for me (really into cooking and furniture shopping too) but I guess it works for my SIL, especially since she doesn’t do any of that.

Jim Harbaugh wears Lululemon pants, FYI. So, it's not just gay men or millennial metrosexuals.

He’s always wearing Lululemon casual clothing and spotless running shoes or casual sneakers. Is there some high-paying job I’m not aware of that allows this dress code? Or maybe inheritance or SAHD.

dress code? What company/organization/employer still has dress code other than police, fire, EMT type of jobs.

I work for the state of MD and we have a very strict dress code?

IT person here. I know a lot of senior-level (experience-wise) people like this.

Gay gay gay.

Could be a big firm lawyer in that get up. Tax or ERISA or other code specialty.

They have a men’s section too but you don’t see straight men wearing them. Especially not everyday like this guy.

Oh, they do wear them. Not in DC where everyone is terrified that someone might perceive them as less than Alpha Dork, though.

Love this phrase. Totally using it, thank you. In D.C. one simply must be Alpha something or they don't exist. LOL.

Lulu? Def gay.

Is this in DC? I agree with the above.

I love how even a tiny deviation off normcore is immediately read as OMG HOMOSEXUAL PINK SCARE!!!!1 !!! in this place.

For an ostensibly progressive town, you guys are so f---ing narrow-minded. Parochial little city filled with stupid parochial little minds.

As my gay brother says, no one is as catty and gossipy as a gaggle of gay men.... calm down social justice warrior. It's human nature to speculate and it's perfectly harmless in this context.

Consultant who works remotely is my first guess.

A lot of successful people in this age bracket who work remotely or have their own businesses so there's no merit in speculating unemployment or living off credit cards.

DH could work from home 3-4 days a week easily but he prefers to go into the office. He has plenty of connections who are based all over the country but work all over the place via telecommuting or consulting. His good friend from college "works" in Boston but in reality only flies up for one night/two days and the rest of the time lives in Baltimore and works from home.

Could also be sales of some sort and he's always in transit to a client site vs. having to go into the office.

Ok, maybe not IT, but lots of s/w engineers dress this way. Look at Zuckerberg et al.

I work in a casual office and that's how most gay guys and the younger, put-together straight guys dress. It seems once the men have kids, they slide into wearing the dad uniform: fugly shoes, ill-fitting jeans, and a random tee.

The only time we ever have to dress up is if we're having a big investor visit.

Range Rover Sport?

Could easily be my cousin - except he dresses more sloppily than that. He has his own "geek squad" type business servicing families and small businesses. Makes plenty of money, has a nice new prestige SUV and sets his own schedule.

I thought that at first but it’s not gym or yoga clothes and his hair is styled. It’s like clean cut leisure casual:

My brother dresses like this when he works from home (50% of the time). He wears a lot of lululemon, but isn’t gay. (Yeah, yeah, he could be on the d/l and his wife and kids don’t know — which can be said about anyone). He also drives a nice car, and has a very nice watch. Maybe it’s a cult.

It's the daily Lululemon pants and the Starbucks combination that screams gay.

But OP could solve this by hitting on him with a hot male best friend beside her and seeing which one of them gets his interest.

Gay man, living on credit. Probably bartends or private personal trainer at night.
