Don't go to the Dumb Threads forum, otherwise you might have a brain aneurysm, die at your desk and not have your body found until months later.
This is the sort of thread that would be closed immediately on responsibly moderated forum. Styleforum is great for the most part, there is tons of useful knowledge to be gleaned from here, but I think it could use a lot more citizen moderators to close poorly thought out threads & shut up mediocre posters. (The guys over at StackExchange, an amazing QA site, have thought hard and written much on how to create a rich self-policing community. Mean spirited, troll threads like this one are immediately closed by the vote of five trusted members and nipped the bud before they have time to spread their malignancy). Perhaps I'm wrong, perhaps this thread is useful. Surely some of the perfectly-dressed posters tee-heeing have offered advice on how to improve specific fit by replacing one or two items in it? I just flipped through this quickly, but I think I found one example of a member doing so; big props to him. Perhaps some general principles of long-lasting style are being elucidated by discussing how they are being violated in the various fits? Nah, that would be too hard. Particularly classless are those posted the blogs of fellow SF members, one of it which a senior member who has contributed much knowledge to the community; I definitely hope you all can take it as hard as you give it in WAYWT.
TL;DR: Me raising my tiny hand and saying I'm disgusted.
