Coolest stuff in a while. The pants+aldens are a great combo with the chore coat. The shades are a bit over the top, but if it was sunny I guess your excused.

Whodini's pictures look great but they'd be better off without that guy in boring clothes blocking the scenery.

MCers' submissions into SWD's WAYWT lately have been much better than what was submitted for the challenge. Maybe MC just had a view of SWD that's not totally accurate, and tried to play into that (assumed) audience? UC - where did you get that duffle? Vintage store in Berk? Given your skills, I'm sure you were able to somehow find that for like $50.

I wore what I submitted for the challenge when I'm slumming. I've had those jeans, that jacket, and that henley for at least 15 years. It's pretty much my go-to fit, and could probably use some updating - I'm sure the style factor was a bit low, but to be honest I was just trying to show what I wear when I'm not steezin.' Altho the South Park shots were intentionally tongue-in-cheek.

The duffle I got at a thrift shop in Hell's Kitchen in NYC about a year ago for about $25. The thing is practically bulletproof.

Patent pending for cross-pollination coinage.

You look a lot more natural wearing a heavier sweater like this. As others have previously pointed out sometimes your clothing makes you look too thin in an unnatural way. I have same problem myself. So I try to ensure that tighter fitting stuff is made of heavier fabric, or that lightweight stuff fits a little loose. Also if your hair is thinning or very fine, you might want to consider adding a bit of texture to it and wearing it slightly messy. Doing such a neat side part with so much visible forehead causes a disconnect between your hair and your thinness that I believe others may find disturbing.

Your fit nearly looks like something out of a current J. Crew catalog. It looks good though! Does that mean the pieces are classic, you were simply ahead of your time, the fashion cycle has repeated in the course of 15 years, or it's just chance?
