that aside, could you pls elaborate on the "clownish" description? do my shoes really come off as to bulky or long? i.e. clownish? i suppose that's your opinion. i didn't feel like wearing sneakers or more sleeker/low profile shoes such as repettos or even loafers (don't care for loafers) mainly because the rest of the ensemble's articles are more casual imo. i could have not gone with cuffs or lowered them, but it's summer so i figured why not? so basically, if i am following this right, the shoes should have been omitted/sub'd for an alternative or the pants lowered for you to love this, yes?

Your look is very casual/drapey on top to a casual semi-baggy bottom and then you have a break (your ankles) and immediately it's a hard, black pair of shoes. The shoes seem to be too heavy for the feel of the outfit. I don't think that sneakers would have fixed the issue and you're right that loafers are a bit too dressy for the ensemble.

Basically what I'm suggesting is that you do something to trim down the amount of ankle that you're showing. Like I said before, this can be done by uncuffing the pants or lowering them (which you also mentioned).

Now that I've thought a little about it, something lightweight similar to an espadrilles would work a lot better.

Ha. No dice. Windsor terrace, which is, decidedly, pretty un-hip.

Now why would you do that? That bag is awesome (and good fit, btw; wouldn't do sneakers with it, personally, lighter brown would be better though)

Your only defense against criticism seems to be "you just don't understand me" over and over again. You act as though I've never seen antifit/drape/gothninja (not saying that's what you strive for), I enjoy it when it's done right. Your examples are not ones I would use to show it being done right. You obviously can't judge my style, since you know nothing of slim silhouettes

This actually is rather badass, though the matching tie kills it, an Hermès with the right pattern could kick this up a few notches

Again with the "you don't understand me, my mommy says I'm special" bullshit.

Am I on your list? I never use ignore, then I'd miss the gems people post

How refined you must be, I'm sure your mother is beaming in appreciation of what a big boy you've become

The angle is weird, but I'm leaning towards sizing down on the N&F, they billow out a bit around your thighs. And are you wearing a tie/ascot? Jeez, I go out for a few hours and this campfire turns into a blazing inferno

Some of you guys are so full of vitriol that I wonder if you've got me beat in the "consecutive sexless months" category.

 

[tonio028]

Was going to post a fit, but decided to pass considering what this thread has turned into over the last few pages. Over what exactly I forget, but over grammar or some ****? Yikes. I just added some more peeps to Ignore to make this more tolerable.

We need this thread re-directed again. Can we drop the **** and move on?

Looks like you're about to hulk out of that shirt. Pants look off, though it's probably just the angle.

Nah, you're fine. I save my ignore list for the select few people whose every post makes me want to kill myself. These people rarely post gems.

Angle is weird, plus you have kunk biceps which look weird with such tapered sleeves. Take 3 steps back from the mirror and the angle will be a lot better for seeing the whole fit

Pretty nice once you get it tailored, until then it looks terrible. Crazy high and tight sleeves with a waist that balloons like you wouldn't believe. They might have improved, this shirt is from last S/S
