I was thinking about this last night, but for one thing, seven seems like a pretty low number (not that another arbitrary number couldn't be picked), and for another - I wonder how the population skew would work out? Would we revert to 2008 and be praising solely workwear? I don't think so, but it seems that the most active and vocal posters in waywt aren't necessarily representative of SF's cultural and aesthetic ethos. Yeah, I'd vote for asobu pretty much every time he posted, but after adjusting the number necessary for the population (we don't want every single fit to be a best of), would anyone else? Would someone like Binker? I suppose it doesn't matter either way; and the SF hall of fame ought to reflect SF's majority tastes, but I guess I'm saying that the masses are not necessarily an arbiter of aesthetic truth.



I suggested a 10 likes threshold though, it changes EVERYTHING.

The fit I posted were the ones with the most likes, I wouldn't worry about a new workwear offensive.

I think one of the condition for fits to be posted here is that the pic quality should be decent, nobodys wants to look at good fits with **** backgrounds or all blurry or reflected through ten mirrors.

Having a like threshold could have the unintended consequence of shifting the thread away from having discussions of fits to just voting on them. Although now that I think about it, most of the talk is fuelled by Lane and Uncontrol so maybe this is a good thing.

WHAT ELSE COULD ONE ASPIRE TO
We all started somewhere, this **** is like posting pics of you as a kid in that OshKosh B'Gosh and saying they dress like ****

It's really not difficult, you basically pick every fit with more than 7 "likes", there's very little margin of error. (Would be great if every waywt with more than 10 likes was automatically posted here). Omitted some that weren't my cup of tea but good nonetheless, could probably remove some too... Anyway


Let's bring that **** up to speed.
Great selection, though to be honest (and no hate here), I'm not a fan of that Synthese fit

^^ Most discussions in waywt revolve around bad fits or supposed bad fits, great fits usually get a couple of accolades then it's back to the ***** fest. People will stay for the drama.

Besides, most people that vote on fits don't actually post in waywt

I just thought you had evolved towards some diet-gothninja Geller type stuff. The jacket's not my cup of tea (like that collar though) and the sneakers are kind of ratty looking but without it'd be very similar to what I have in my closet

This is kind of what I mean. No offense meant, NOBD, and I know your comment was tongue-in-cheek, but it doesn't seem like a hall of fame ought to catalogue the ordinary - every single one of your pictures (and, frankly, most of mine - not to mention a handful of other posters [aeglus]) would end up in it - and to be honest, I don't think either of us really deserves that; there's no reason to have eighty photographs of my margiela boots/Cloak jacket or your suede double-monks/luxury blazer ensembles.

See, if GraphicNovelty would stop just being such a dirty c-word and make us our Sergeant Pepper photo, that would be that.

It's ok to start with a larger, less strict selection. In time, people will grow bored of the more mundane fits and start filtering them out. It's an honing process.

No offence taken, Synthese. I was indeed kidding and see what you're saying. (I don't own double monks, btw. :))
