Looking like Shaggy

22 replies

alterego2 · 16/10/2025 20:30

I have a pair of dark olive cords (DD calls them swamp coloured), I also have a dark chocolate wool jumper. In my head, they are a good, classic combination. DD says I will look like Shaggy from Scooby Doo.

I am after opinions. Is DD right - will I look like Shaggy? Or is it a decent combination?

(Just to note - we are both aware that Shaggy wore a green t-shirt over brown trousers but DD says that's irrelevant. )

You would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for your meddling kid.

Does sound a bit too shaggy-esque I’m afraid.

alterego2 · 17/10/2025 09:14

Hahaha - thank you all. I'm not risking those responses in real life so will stick with cream or black!

Scooby do seems to be a go to look for me, I've been Daphne, Thelma and Shaggy various times over the years. Solidly Shaggying now. I like it. I wish I had the van.

Lean into it & style it out with a large dog companion.

And what’s wrong with looking like shaggy ?

cream and black is so boring

ArseInTheCoOpWindow · 17/10/2025 09:25

l have hair that behaves like Thelma’s. One side flicks out and one flicks in😫

Reading the thread titled I had the singer in my head instead of the character.

I thought the singer too! I wouldnt see shaggy unless you also had a scooby doo with you. I think go for it OP

Grow a ginger goatee. Your husband will be in no doubt of the look you're going for.

Seriously? Wear what you want.

Although....I had a tartan brushed cotton shirt a few years ago and my OH called me 'Dave' every time I wore it. It ended up in the charity pile.

Well that's your halloween costume sorted 😁

As long as you don't look like Fred it's all good.

Summerhillsquare · 17/10/2025 11:50

I thought you meant the singer. No, absolutely not like him.

Mistyglade · 17/10/2025 11:53

What does he wear? A fleece and jeans? Wear what you like with pride.
