HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part III

bourbonbasted said:

Going to tread lightly here with minimal investment (as to avoid the probable

moment). Here's my list*:

- Remove the sleeve tag immediately
- Learn to tie a double four-in-hand knot
- Learn to tighten your knots (so there is no separation at the collar)
- Wear a less electric shirt
- Wear a less predictable/dated tie

*My bluntness is not meant to be rude, but rather succinct and informative.

Electric is a no go?

There are some highly questionable shots here. Highly.

I do agree on this one, but i think a four in hands with a extra twist would make it looks better.

I don't think it's a coincidence that advanced tie knots sound a lot like gay sex acts.

Polo seersucker pants, need to be tapered.

...er... so you want your hips to seem BIGGER in relation to your lower legs and feet?



bafe said:

Polo seersucker pants, need to be set ablaze as quickly as possible.
Blue gingham shirt.
BB button braces
Italian "Oro" silk knit tie.
Barbour panama.
Bally wowen leather tassels.
Sorry for the bad picture.

FTFY. (I like the vibe, it's just that, those pants... they... no)

Did you wear this in the middle of the summer? Please tell me you live in Alaska, or else you deserve a medal.

would look sooo much better if the lapel rolled to the middle button
because the other aspects of the suit works out

I wish to god you abandoned that style of shoe and went just a bit sleeker. I think it would change everything about your whole image, for the better. Im not saying go full on G&G deco, just something a little more sleek, not so blobby. I always like most of your chothing choices, but Ive never said to myself "Damn, Lufty, nice shoes". FWIW.

What's wrong with Decos?

JapanAlex01: Please do me the favor of engaging in an experiment. For the rest of the week until the 1st of August, refrain from making any public critique, criticism, or comment here in WAYWRN. Instead, put a folder on the desktop of your computer with pictures you've taken from here on WAYWRN, and a list of comments/critiques for each one - both positive and negative. You don't need to have a thought about everything - just the ones which really strike your fancy. During the week, whenever you add something to that folder, go back and look at some of the other things in it. Reevaluate the comments you have saved about whatever fit you're looking at again. Also try, in an honest way, to guess and understand (from a sartorial standpoint) why the person in the photo would have made such a decision.

Should you decide to engage in this exercise with me I will create a thread in here in the Men's Clothing Forum next Monday morning where you can present your findings. The only thing I would ask of you about this is to once again reevaluate everything as you put it together to present. If you don't like it and have harsh things to say, that will be perfectly fine. In the interest of fairness, I will put together and post a list of pictures and thoughts, comments, and critiques of my own. Who knows, maybe some other folks will join in and it will turn into a party.

What do you say?

You can tell that **** is a good teacher. Right there. He gave the extra credit assignment in front of the whole class.

Wearing a DB jacket for a day on the sea is perhaps the most pretentious thing ever.

FTFY.

I'm gonna get some hate for this, but PaoloM in most of your pics you just kind of come off as a big dork who is trying too hard.. the double breasted jackets, the weird clashing patterns and plaid shirts.. it's just like Wall Street 1980s gone horrifically wrong. The single breasted with the muted tie/PS was the best of the lot.

For the sake of his students I hope he's not nearly so windy in real life, but somehow I doubt this will be true.
