Those jeans look a bit too tight around the crotch/thigh area, no?

Also, I don't really think that jacket & square work at all with those jeans, sorry. The turtleneck itself is nice though.

These kinds of yellow/green/brown shades are damn difficult to pull off. They can easily look a bit sickly. I'm not 100% convined you've managed it, but it's a brave attempt. The sunglasses are cool, too. On a non-clothes note, it's fun that you managed to find a backdrop with graffiti in the same colour family!

Nah, I had just pulled them on and they sat a little high until they settled. They aren't tight at all. Thanks for the opinions on my other stuff, though! I haven't run into anyone who has liked most of what I put together on SF, so I have no tears left to cry.

Forgive the ongoing digression too, but I'm not so sure about traditions like this work in quite the same culturally-transmitted/normative/memetic way they used to. We have so much active choice/awareness about our actions today (probably due to living in a more atomised society) that the act of wearing a Remembrance poppy these days is very much an active, conscious choice, even if like you or I, we began wearing them from a young age in a less conscious way. Perhaps not for all, admittedly, but from your posts, I think you think clearly enough about what you do that it cannot be entirely down to tradition.

Anyway, turtlenecks...

1) I am no longer in my own top three. Bastards.

2) If ever there were a neck crying out to be turtlerolled, it's SVB's.

3) Linen scarves, WTF? A light scarf can be supremely functional. You can be warm without donning heavier clothing, so you can be dressed for the day and transition into a cooler evening with just that one item. Seems logical that a lighter scarf would be appropriate for just a bit of warming, no?

4) TASSEKS!

Please strike from the record if the following is deemed to loose an interpretation to qualify.

Even crew-necks feel constricting to me, so this is about as close as I get to turtleneck territory.
