I'm planning on getting the jeans tapered and buying new footwear once i have the cash! What else am i doing wrong


I'll write it down this time

so many of your pieces skirt the line between 'interesting' and 'tacky' and unfortunately more often than not fall into the latter category. that sweater is one of them.

I actually like the sweater, but I agree with Teger's assessment in general that you often go a bit overboard. Not all of your clothing has to have a pattern, distressing, shiny fabric, treatments, asymmetrical necklines, etc.

I don't think I've worn this sweater before for an fp. I think you are right in general but the only way I'll develop that discrimination is by getting feedback.

Also while in general i agree that sometimes my stuff, esp t shirts can be tacky, i thought this sweater was pretty restrained. Its just an asymmetrical cardigan.

That sweater isn't really my cup o' tea, but tacky?

maybe its in the context of the poster, but it just screams express style overdesign. like it was lifted from a gq article about how to wear new motorcycle culture influenced trends in a conservative office environment to be the envy fo all your office drone peers

you also talk about you want to dress yohji, but yohji seems the antithesis of your style -- his stuff is classic menswear with a slight twist, but in a very dark, simplistic color palate to the point that at a first glance it looks extremely basic/standard, and only after repeated close viewing do you see the fabrication and the design details. also it seems the best yohji fits either rely on silhouette (thus no tacky detailing), or have one detailed item and everything else very simplistic.

Its just a moto-esque black sweater. That i wore on a t and black jeans. I think you just don't like me Teger :'(

Its not like it was this:

i don't really care about you either way, i promise. but you make a lot of posts about specific looks you want to emulate, or a style you're trying to move to, etc etc, but most of your fits just scream express ad. if you want a quick fix, lose the graphic tees right off the bat

I am buying and slowly building my yohji collection. I've worn a few yohji things a few times and id like to do that more. I just don't have the wardrobe to do it consistently. Or the $$$. I have a few things coming in that I got thanks to some very nice SFers that will open more doors for me.

What I post on here are the clothes I've had for a while that im trying to get use of and prune out the ones that are not that great from the ones that are. And sometimes I just want to experiment with fits and styles. Maybe I have a few express like items, tbh when I first got into dressing better I started at what was at hand which were places like express and AE so I guess there is residual.

I don't think that much of what I have posted is so glaringly express-like tho. Ive probably only worn like 3 or 4 graphic tshirts. My other fits have pretty much been sweaters or plain button downs/wrinkled button downs. But maybe I have, and if so, I don't mind having it pointed out. I'll note it. Any thing other than the ts that i do that is heinously express-like?

here's another easy fix: you're wearing those jeans in most pictures you post, but i've never been a fan. they're not horrible, but they're just.. ok. they look too textured/shiny. buy some cheap, slim matte black denim - levis 511s or 514s and get them tapered. would make a world of difference. i also don't think the slutty tee look works on people who are built - much of the reason it looks good is because the shirts fit slightly oversized/kind of bulgy on the chest.

Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)
The jeans in that last pic are matte black. Are you talking about those ones or the really shiney zara ones? The most recent pair do not shine at all in natural light to the visible eye. The high gloss in all my photos its my camera being strange. The color is almost exactly the same as the OD black jeans from uniqlo and near identical to the black 501s. I don't know why my camera does that and I don't know how to fix it either. Maybe take the picture in different sunlight/not overcast.

Will definitely get them tapered when I have time. I plan to do that with the blue Ksubi jeans I posted a long time ago too.

T-shirt, idk i think that they look better on people who are built because our bodies are nicer? But I do get that the aesthetic is more so aimed at slender people. So I wont post ma slut-t pics on SF. Also, I like the lady attention I get from the slut-ts

See! Im trying!

Can we stop making this thread a let's help benes dress better?

if you want to get back to burger talk, post a picture

@Beneysed if you like the Yohji aesthetic and are poor like me - try the diffusion lines.

I have a few fantastic pieces from Y-3 and a lot of Coming Soon pieces only differ from mainline in terms of cheaper fabric. There are obviously some big duds from Y-3 (most stuff wth a logo or graphics) but the outerwear is often great and cheap on Yoox.

More of exactly the same.
