Random fashion thoughts

I'd say a jacket that's too long just makes you look like you're wearing clothing that's too big for you.

I agree that tucks, stacks, and cuffs all break up the lines of the legs by shortening the length of the visually unbroken line, but how much does that really matter if you're not a woman? I'm sure there are exceptions, but it doesn't seem to me that men's fashions place the same sort of emphasis on a long, slender leg.

Maybe I'm just being insensitive because I'm tall and have long, slender legs.

I'd assume long and slender body is pretty damn desirable for men at the moment when you consider the average male model.

(although Stazy's boots recently got a lot of love, that's probably the first time we've soon boots like that in waywt for a while)
A few inches makes a HUGE difference, even in taller people. The bigger problem is that your leg is going to look longer when it gets more slender towards the ankle... and a bulky sneaker ruins that. Luckily wearing clothes isn't just about looking tall.

Also I'm not sure why Stazy's fit got love here; even he realized it looked off.

Pretty much this. Pics lie.

yeh I prefer the uniqueness of the first, but the proportions are whack, cardi drops elongates his torso and jeans bunching shrink his legs. I'd like to see the margiela's with the blue cardi

That's so bad ass. It'd be like shopping inside of the Death Star. Though Darth Vader's attitude and all-black-errythang ensemble would make him better suited to be an SA at Atelier.
