HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part III - Page 2269

when you tire of that burberry sportcoat.....i have a place in my closet for it.

i'm even tall by German standards though haha. my mandarin is coming along slowly. my cantonese suffices only for cab driver smalltalk up to 800 metres. i know pinyin and a little simple chinese but my writing looks 'like that of a three year old'. i wish i had more time to learn it, though. my girlfriend in china is Italian so now there's another language I wish I had paid more attention to in school...:S

 

@ citan: light cyan/white gingham PS?

I'm with Achillus on this topic.....maybe timotune and uunottaja aren't going for anyone's definition of "classic" style. Why do we all have to be "classic" around here? Why can't we be a little trendy sometimes? Europe is more fashion forward than other parts of the world and though you might scoff at trends, it doesn't make it wrong. Because a few idols like Agnelli kept to their style doesn't make other styles wrong (don't peg me as a redneck because my state is full of rednecks). Besides, we have no idea where these guys wear their clothes. They might work at H&M or a boutique urban planning firm for all we know. If they do then this works. If they were 300lbs and worked in a traditional Midwest USA 50person law firm then it's not a good choice. Let's admire more and nitpick less.

My question is how many of the shirt buttons did Mrs. Derek undo?

You can be trendy and still have things fit you better and have better proportion. That is the difference between people who stand out amongst the trendy.

Agreed, but you also just stated the difference between SF and the outside world. On these forums we critique centimeters and half inches. I'm sure there will be passers by who say man that dude had on a tight jacket. But most won't notice what we notice.

(then again, if you don't want some critiques you don't come here in the first place. I get it)

sometimes when im feeling a little frisky and spent the week in the gym ill go balls out and leave the top THREE undone....skin is in.

Generally nice, but the bow looks like it's about to attack your neck. The knot is too tight, and you should shorten it (assuming it's adjustable) so that the bow isn't so wide when tied.


Tie is too skinny. Logo/crest on tie is too naff.

Definitely a different tie. I would go lighter in both color and fabric.

Noooo toooo sexyyyyyyyyy noooooo!

Ahem, but yeah to your suggestion Derek, I have tried this with light grey wool and it works well, with my mid grey it seems out of place to me. The jacket is kind of a light brown/light tan chambray style weave and I worry mid grey is too dark with it. I have no issues pairing brown in the fall, in the summer I am lost. I was going to wear a berry pink tie with this today but decided it was too pastel for the brown base.

Bless you that you can reveal that much decolletage - with my moobs, one button is the max .

We are talking about trouser buttons, right?

Moobs? Oh, I thought we were talking about button flies...

jacket is belvest correct? i tried that same coat on at neimans. didnt look as good on me as it does you. Probably wont help, but it looks tops with dark denim.
HAHA! hardly crusty! embrace your inner fabio!

Maybe they hang that low?
