Flannel or Fashionable?

[Azra-El]

I finally like the fact that Clark is stepping out of the whole 'Farm Boy' image. Including, but not limited to, his new dress attire. For me it adds to the Metropolis feel when Clark dresses the part. No more flannel, even though he went back to flannel again in this episode. What say you?

*Azra-El*

[stenochick]

Time to retire the flannel, although I believe in "everything in moderation." It drove me crazy last season that all he wore was the jacket/t-shirt red/blue combo.

[Kevin24]

I gotta admit after seeing him dressed up and then seeing him in Flannel with Chloe didn't look right to me. At least he isn't wearing his usual combo but still Flannel just not cool anymore lol.

I do understand why he changed since he wasn't at work and is more comfortable in his Flannel and jeans !! I mean who seriously is dressed up like that all day everyday?

[moviefan2k4]

The phone booth gag was funny, too; it reminded me of similiar moments in "Exile" and "Vengeance".

[AndiGirl]

I dont know...I like both, professional for work..and flannel for home. :)

[Super Maverick]

flannel went out when kurt cobain died

[geminis]

I like flannel to sleep in on really cold winter nights; Clark in flannel would be just perfect.
And red is my favorite color. Can't go wrong there. However I do admit that red plaid flannel along with a backpack is not the professional journalist image, and Lois was right on him to correct the error of his ways.

[Azra-El]

I forgot to mention the jacket/shirt combos. We have got to get away from those as well as someone already mentioned.

Clark wrapped in flannel to snuggle with on a cold winter night...sounds perfect!! :p

[susangail]

Definitely keep the flannel at home. He's gotta be taken seriously at the Planet!

[The Great Ymmij]

At the Planet, he should wear dress clothes. Anywhere else, he should wear w/e he wants whether it be flannels or even his jacket/t-shirt combo.

[msleggie]

Of course at the planet he has to dress professional and I like the way he looks too, the flannel is old news...time for change

[smallvillefreak24]

Ok I liked the plaid up until last season maybe s6 but that was when he actually had a wardrobe (season 1 especially he actually wore different clothes not just red blue tshirt)it would be ridiculous to keep him in plaid now besides he's HOT IN this new look lol

[eas]

The weird thing is that he hasn't worn the flannel for awhile now... he was wearing his blue shirt/red jacket combo or red shirt/blue jacket combo for the most part. So having him show up to work in flannel was a little weird.

Of course, I prefer the nice clothes.

[class09mm]

dress 4 success... tom looked soooo sexy with that blue dress shirt. i hope he wears that more offten

[MetroGirl06]

dress 4 success... tom looked soooo sexy with that blue dress shirt. i hope he wears that more offten

Hellz yeah he did! :D
I'm just so used to him in the ridiculous farm clothes and when he came out wearing something different , my eyes must have popped out of my skull!

[Mad Madam Mimm]

Ummmm am I nuts? I thought the red shirt was not flannel, but rather plaid cotton (flannel's equally unappealing cousin). Now I have to re-watch it... Gotta admit, I have always liked Clark when he is dressed up, but I don't mind the t-shirts and jeans (just please not the jacket!) What I really hate is when they dress him in baggy clothing. I know that he is a slim man and they are trying to add "visual bulk" by dressing him that way, but I think he looks so much better in more fitted clothing.

I did have a moment when he emerged from the phone booth where I thought he looked like he had raided Lex's closet...

My favorite is still the $2,000 coat that came with a backbone... ;)

[baltazor]

Dressing for success. It was a visual utopia seeing Clark wearing something else for a change. They will keep the new look and i am glad for it.

[alejandrita439]

dress 4 success... tom looked soooo sexy with that blue dress shirt. i hope he wears that more offten


agree..
tom is sexy with blue dress shirt :):):):)
i love him :D

[Tatiana]

I'll take dressng for success any day, boy Tom looks hot with those shirts, and blue makes his features even more appealing, especially those beautiful eyes and those juicey lips ;)

[Nerial]

I loved the new look. The dress attire is fabulous.

I actually do like the flannel, but I wish he'd wear it like Papa Kent did. White shirt underneath with a flannel shirt over it. He did that when he was teaching Kara her heat vision last year, and it looked hot. But, not when he's working at the DP.

I loved Lois' comment about saving him from becoming Farmboy or Flannel-man.

I also loved how he innocently commented to her, "This is a nice shirt." That was cute.

Some variety is really what I'm looking for. Yes, have the blue shirt and red jacket, but NOT EVERY SINGLE DAY!!!

This is much better.

[madcatlady]

I want to see him in sweaters again! (Sigh)

Well, anything but the red jacket, and please burn the backpack - isn't that his high school backback? I think he looked at his ID and though "oops, this isn't the Torch".

[Humdinger]

Time to give up the farm boy clothes, and step into Metropolis duds. Even casual, he should give up the plaids and go to something more modern. I haven't seen a real person wear a plaid in ages.

[kal-el_Girl]

yeah!! what on earth was he thinking when he walked in the newsroom dressed as a farm boy??? WHERE'S MARTHA KENT WHEN WE NEED HER?
she would've stop him in his tracks...

I wonder how the Tess/Clark scene would have gone with Clark in the flannel shirt. :rotfl:

[alejandrita439]

^ hahahaha :lol:

[Violet-Shadow]

Yeah, he was way hot in that dress shirt. Much more so than in the plaid. Yeah...

[Yasise]

Time to retire the flannel, although I believe in "everything in moderation." It drove me crazy last season that all he wore was the jacket/t-shirt red/blue combo.

So true....it's really a relieve to see something else on Clark/Tom than these flanell shirts all the last seasons. Thank God!

[unfocused]

Clark looks great in his blue dress shirt. Why the hell does he keep trying to revert back to the flannel? :lol:

Love, love, love the Brawny Clark towels!!!! I want some for my house!!!! They're strong AND soft!!

It would have been interesting to see Tess' reaction to Clark in the flannel; maybe he'll wear it in her presence in the future. Or maybe not.

We question Clark's wardrobe choices, however this will also ultimately be the guy who runs around in tights and a cape with his underwear showing. Flannel and plaid seem pretty harmless in comparison.

Looks like Clark's having problems letting go of the things that are near and dear to him. But if he's going to start living in Metropolis and working at the DP he's definitely gotta dress the part. Leave the plaid shirts for those spring cleaning events.

[unfocused]

Agreed. I think having him wear the old flannel every now and then after wearing the nice clothes at work is the shows way of slowly turning him into the DP Clark we are used to.

[FlashInSV]

Well, taking into consideration that the red t-shirt and that blue jacket had stuck to him like a second skin all last season, only to be swaped by the blue t-shirt and red jacket (someone should explain the concept of mix&match to this guy), it's nice to see a change in outfit at last.

Not to mention he's absolutely hot in the blue shirt.

[borednow]

You have a point... anyone who wears their underwear on the outside of their pants...

[Tacitus]

When he showed up in that red flannel shirt I instantly got season 1 and 2 flahsbacks :lol:

The lumberjack comment was priceless though :D

[Minela]

Clark was so hot when he stepped out of the phone booth. Lois couldn't keep her hands off him. :D

[xrayvision]

I want occassional flannel so Clark doesn't forget his roots, but mostly business clothes.

[Minela]

I'm just glad the t-shirt/jacket combo seems to have gone away.

[Azra-El]

If he were to go casual, it should just be a white T-shirt, blue jeans and some boots....

[xrayvision]

As long as there is no more red or blue jacket for a long, looooooong time.

[unfocused]

He should wear a tie to work :/

[Azra-El]

^Agreed.

[carrieszczepanski]

Hey, I like those jackets, if they don't want them anymore, I'll take them for sure. :rotfl:

[kentfamily]

WOW! Whats going on this season? CK/TW is looking pretty hot!!!!I am glad he is wearing diffferent threads. I loved the last episode where he was wearing Oliver's clothes on the private jet. He just looked hot in the last episode. Whats going on?????
Something happened. He is looking better and probably feeling better about something.

[DestinyAw8s]

No more Farmer Kent, please.

[Iluvgreen]

His new shirts are frickin sexy. love them. i mean flannel is fine now and then........... mostly in the past. bring in the new shirts.

[Atomic girl]

After seeing him in the bright blue shirt, I was waiting for the red dinner jacket to make an appearance......sorry I just couldn't help it....please no red dinner jacket......I have a feeling that the style may have changed, but the colors haven't....

[iluvSmallvilleandi'm24]

at least he aint sticking to the whole red/blue combination... I was pleasantly surprised to see him come out with a white shirt towards the end.

The dirt on the blue shirt was key also towards him getting a change of clothes when he goes rescuing ppl... :P

he's just a starting out journo... plus something tells me his new boss doesnt mind...:lol:

Yes, I think so, too. And there's actually no problem with him wearing his flannel shirts at home or when he's in Smallville.

Oh come on, what has wearing flannel to do with Clark not forgeting his roots???

Do you really think, that someone changes his mind with his clothes??? He won't ever forget his roots only because he wears something different than his old shirts.

I guess you didn't mean this post to be serious, did you?

[maryjanewatson]

BRING BACK THE PLAID!!!!!!!!!

I love the plaid. XD

[Billy Jor-El]

Flannel is cool when you're throwing a tractor across the county, but in the office of the biggest newspaper in Metropolis? Suit and tie time......

[clana4everfan2]

Dressing for success definitely! Clark has grown up enough with the flannel and backpack .. .... I'm happy he ditched that red jean jacket too for a bit.

[kimmiss]

I gotta admit after seeing him dressed up and then seeing him in Flannel with Chloe didn't look right to me. At least he isn't wearing his usual combo but still Flannel just not cool anymore lol.

I do understand why he changed since he wasn't at work and is more comfortable in his Flannel and jeans !! I mean who seriously is dressed up like that all day everyday?

thank you.. he was wearing blue and looking fine and then BAM , I saw that flannel and it was ... Yikes!

[Sv.LoisLane]

I'm for the business style! Flanel is ok at home...maybe once in while Lois could wear his flanel shirts too:lol:.
About Oliver...this is the second time Clark is supposed to wear his clothes! (Green Arrow outfit, now this). How in the world is that possible? Clark (Tom) is twice his size!:rotfl:
That been said, Tom and Justin are HOT!

[Ginx]

Got to go with 'Dress for Success' - we've already seen the farmboy version dress for 7 seasons! Give us some nicely dressed CK then when he does wear flannel we'll know he's realxing lol.....

he needs to go shopping with Ollie's stylist

[clarkbunny]

Personally I think the whole farmboy shirt thing was just a plot device.

Clark has smart clothes, he wore some when he accompanied Chloe as a reporter to the court house. Admittedly he has mostly only ever worn them for weddings and funerals :lol:

I just thought who the hell turns up to their first day at a job in jeans and a plaid shirt and a rucksack - what the hell!!! Just the thought is insane, Clark isn't that stupid.
It was just a chance for the writers to have Clark changing in the phone booth.

[borednow]

Clark did it so Lois would touch him! :lol:

[BABarracus]

he should wear a suit to work but then he goes off to fight people he should go do a quick change in to something he can get dirty lets not go arise suspision infront of a room of reporters right?

[Sweetie]

Fashionable of course.He looked so sexy in the blue shirt.Lois's reaction was priceless :)

[BABarracus]

Fashionable of course.He looked so sexy in the blue shirt.Lois's reaction was priceless :)

she will forget about all of that once superman arrives and clark starts wearing glasses

[ColdPlay3r]

i liked the flannel, shows that he still holds a sum-wat-farmer thing and not takin massive changes 2 his wardrobe

i suggest turn up 2 work in flannel, have a banter fest with lois, leave work with a fashionable shirt

:)

Well, because Clark is a simple guy and this show is still called Smallville (I hope we get scenes that take place in Smallville soon), I think he should still sport a flannel shirt every once in a while until he moves to Metopolis & gets an apartment there.

[Azra-El]

What about a Kon-El type feel as a casual look? Of course without the symbol.


*Azra-El*

[unfocused]

That's a good idea^^^

It's similar to Kal's look. A look everyone seems to love.

I love Kals look, personally, myself. Especially the longer hair.

[Welling_is_pretty]

ANyone else have a total "Torch" flashback when Clark came into the DP wearing flannel and with a backpack on his shoulder? He looked, to me, like back in his high school days when he'd help Chloe on the Torch.

But yeah, nice to see him wearing a suit (though I notice he's not got the tie on yet!).

The flannel is good for farmboy!Clark, for when he's relaxing. The suit is for reporter!Clark, IMO>

[Sv.LoisLane]

But yeah, nice to see him wearing a suit (though I notice he's not got the tie on yet!).

Well..there are some spoiler pics where he's wearing a tie *drools looking at the pics*:lol:

[lovinredkclark]

i'd take him anyway, but the dress shirt was sooo nice. actually the best place for any of his shirts is on the floor.;)

[Yasise]

*continues to drool* ...:D

Your avi sure gives a nice idea of how tasty shirts look on him.

I think we shouldn't worry about the "shirts on the floor" thing..since the writers seem to like it:D. The season started with a shirtless AC, not to mention Oliver/JH is shirtless in the opening credits! and in Toxic:D ..I bet Clark will join them soon. *crosses fingers*

[Meteror Freak]

I hate the flannel but man, it's better than the red jacket at this point.

[Mini Wolfsbane]

I was watching the ep. again on Sunday and the thought struck me that Clark has, in terms of how he LOOKS, outgrown his flannel shirt. He looks more man then boy now,
even compared to season 5 when (I think?) he was still wearing it a lot.

I mean, in the premiere, I think my hormones were confused, (LOL! Um, sorry. Really tired here.), because he looked soooo manly and I'm way used to him looking more boyish, I guess. What I mean to say is, for me it's jarring seeing him "change" so suddenly from Clark Kent:Farm Boy to Clark Kent: Reporter and all around Manly Man. It's a good change, but I think it came as a shock to me. Now I have to get used to it. (And I will, gladly!! Woot!)

I think he looks great in just t-shirts (you can't look too boyish in one of those), but I just love the new reporter look, too. Okay, there's my two cents.

[LoveHurts38]

Dressing for success! Loved the way Lois got him dressed to begin with.

[RedKRules]

I totally loved his new looks!!! I hope he keeps it that way!

I think you just described how Lois feels about the situation, lol.

----- Added 3 Minutes later -----

I don't know, there are some days where I wind up staying in work clothes all day until I go to bed. Even a few times I came home so exhausted that I actually went and laid down in my work clothes. Really it is the more the shoes I'm in a hurry to get off, and nylons when I have to wear them.

As for everyday though, lol, yeah. When I have a day off I wear the laziest clothes that I own.

----- Added 6 Minutes later -----

He did look ridiculous walking into the DP with a flannel shirt on with his press pass, lol. But in the past there were times that it seemed a more casual environment. I know Lois wore jeans to work before but I also know that Chloe wore more casual shirts on occasion too. Jimmy had though casual button down short sleeves a lot too. A lot of times it was more dress-casual than dress.

It seems the DP in general has gotten more formal. I don't think I even saw any extras in Plastique walking around in casual clothes. Clark looked great and very grown up in the dress shirt and pants.

[Imzadia]

That Etta James song "At Last" came to mind when I saw him in the dress clothes. For a couple of years now, I've been Begging for Clark to change his "red/blue" wardrobe, even though I know it's supposed to symbolize his Superman costume. TW looks good in everything, but I was so, so, sick-sick-sick of his jackets and T-shirts. Now, I only hope that he'll wear 'other' colors besides Blues of different hues in his new dress shirt wardrobe. He now looks like a young Professional on his way 'up' in his new job.

[4Clana]

loving the dp suits, makes him look like a man!

[Azra-El]

I know that he will eventually become Superman, but he does not always need to wear blues and reds to foreshaddow the coming Supes. He isn't Superman yet, why not switch it up.



*Azra-El*

[elise]

I loved the blue dress shirt, but I must say it was cute when he arrived at the DP in a flannel with his high-school backpack. :lol:

Yeah that was funny :lol:

But I love the phone-booth, you can actually see that the writers are more mature. Finally Clark wears something non-flannel.
And did you see the look Lois made when she saw him after changing ?! She was like, 'daaaamn you're good' :lol: I wish girls would look at me that horny way.

[JosephKenny18]

He has to retire the Flannel, plus the fact when lois saw him in the new chlothes her jaw nearly hit the floor. :rotfl:

[rebecavaldez]

I LOVE how he looks this season!

[Kschreck]

Clark looks much more Supermanish in his new fashionable clothing and I say it's about time. Thank you Lois! ;)

[Kal26]

Clark Kent......Flannel Man!

[rebecavaldez]

The look they gave Clark in this season was so much better!

[SleepingBeauty]

The new look that Clark got this season is great but I just love his Flannel shirts he schould definitely still wear them on the weekends.:p
