I wanted to take inspiration from some of these photos but Xenox yelled at me.

And perhaps this thread would be better if you posted something constructive instead of criticizing other members for their attempts?

This thread is very interesting, to see what influences/inspires us in our aesthetic and approach to dress. I think the carryover is easy to see into the WAYWT areas; from workwear to bauhaus... we've got a very diverse group and all of them are very unique.

I think that if you replaced the boots with a pair of derbys (thinking about this season's APC shoes) it could work for a white boy. I'm gonna try it sometime this spring.

I feel anything else would be derivative.

Some people just can't take criticism or difference of opinion. I wasn't the one to make the original similarity, so clearly its not so ridiculous of a concept, I'm sure willy took a bit of flack on Sufu for it too.
