This is pretty good. What happens if you untuck? I have a similar shirt in white linen that is my "go to" for summer afternoon. Tucking that shirt in just never works. Kinda works here though.
Holdfast, those jeans look too .. neat. Get them wrinkled and worn in, and they'll be great. Did you intentionally choose a tighter outfit? I'm so used to seeing you in relaxed shirts/trousers that this was a surprise of sorts.
the leg opening is too big on the jeans and the pants in general. and again, you can't wear jeans like trousers.. just makes you look like a dork. holdfast i remember you dabbling in jeans awhile ago - id stuck to trousers if thats how you want to wear em.
Agree on the jeans. No one should look like that while wearing them. It´s a very strange fit... in a bad way.It's piling on at this point, but I don't like the jeans either. Jeans should look beat up and lived in. Very few people in MC wear them well.Holdfast - noooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!
You rock those suits we normally see you in, but please never do this again. Those denims are dad jeans of the worst kind worn a la Simon Cowell, but strangely the shirt looks almost like kid's clothing. Shoes are also not really making it.What the **** are you guys all complaining about? The jeans are dark and obviously a slim-ish cut. So what if he's not a huge stacker? I think the poor impression is due more to the pic/stance than the jeans themselves.
Thanks for the feedback guys. It's always fun when an outfit gets comments, of whatever shade! A slightly sneaky confession: I posted this look partly because DLester asked some pages back what I might wear on my most casual occasions, which I interpreted at the time to be those occasions when I'm not being careful with my appearance. So I was curious as to how this look (worn to go to the shops for half an hour and back again) would go down without my specifically flagging it up as such, especially in light of you guys having seen a few of my more genuine casual fits recently.
It's interesting to read the feedback because it confirms one thing I suspected, and surprised me on another. It confirmed that I don't understand the language of denim and don't live the kind of life where I'm at all likely to enjoy the process of becoming fluent in it: I wear jeans perhaps once every two or three weeks (at most!) and I'm a naturally neat & tidy person, so none of my clothes ever look battered even when they're old (those jeans are 4+ years old, for instance). What surprised me though - and is to the SW&D aesthetic's credit - is just how accurately you guys picked up my unease in the look, which various people expressed in different ways by noting various secondary aspects (pose, stance, neatness, dad fit, etc, etc).
Anyway, for the tl;dr reader: thanks, and yeah, that's why I stick to trousers rather than jeans when I dress casually 95% of the time.
Hey NYR, what are those shoes?
NYR - not a fran of the sweater. makes you look like you have a paunch.
It's piling on at this point, but I don't like the jeans either. Jeans should look beat up and lived in. Very few people in MC wear them well.
You know, while Ian might be pulling off the quintessential MC-uber casual look, if you're going to do it, THAT is how you should do it.
Might he look better with some APC's or Levi's? Maybe. Maybe not. But I don't give a **** because he looks sharp like that and you shouldn't **** with a good thing.
