The WAYWT Discussion Thread - Page 2234

In what sense? Let us suppose that Uncontrol-like style is MORE common then clarksdb/whatever/yawn-style, would it be any less logical that a guy dressed like uncontrol would not care much about feedback from people dressed in that oh-so-rare clarksdb look? I mean in addition to the wild differences in appearance and references/inspirations the clarksdb brigade on sf is very often pontificating about timeless style in a way that would make anyone put them on ignore. I know not everyone who wears clarksdb is a douchebag but many here are deluded into thinking they are 69-ing James Dean into eternal stylishness. Meanwhile most of us age, relate to a society that transforms and change outlooks as we face diff experiences, very often our wardrobe/look changes as well.

hah you love big fuzzy sweaters

so where did all the BoO / APC .... dudes go?
i've compiled measurements of various types of BoO shirts, past-season styles, list of stockists etc. and have been thinking about starting a band 'useful info' thread where things like that can be discussed. but no longer sure about the wisdom of doing that...

I tried on this Marni one but I was wearing a cashmere overcoat+silk scarf+flannel suit+french patinated shoes so it looked out of place and I never came back for it. It's pretty fucking dope.

Big fuzzy sweaters like the ones I'm referring too though are more like the punky 80s stapple that might integrate well with Unc. look, not huge "I like it the fashion" sweaters I wear.

I tried searching for one on ebay but here is what I found:

loool

I like that one

in the sense that based on what i've seen, his choices are just as mannered as the one he criticizes. regardless, i'm not judging his tastes, i'm commenting on his commentary. don't i know it.

that is timeless

I'd guess uncontrol find it absolutely boring and empty, not mannered but I dunno. I rarely care for it too but reserve hate for preppy style which is an abomination.

this is from awhile ago. again, sorry about the hair. i promise to go to an actual stylist soon. edit pic huge, gonna resize edit fuck i suck at technology

Why is the preppy style an abomination?

I would be into, like, Bateman Prep, something that really takes the prep look into full-on runway insanity. Sporty striped polos with fake muscles sewn into the chest and sleeves, crossed-lacrosse-stick-stitched pants where each applique takes up an entire thigh, socks made of human ankle skin, etc.

I don't really understand what you mean by "mannered" here.

Actually I am just wondering, no provoking/hostility intended
