Wait, so if I follow all the styleforum dicta and wear the most normal, inconspicuous clothing possible, I'll STILL end up with a contrived try hard costume? Something truly next level is happening here...

But "dressed by the internet" still trumps the 90% of Americans who are still dressed like crap. I'd much rather see someone like rkd (no offence) who seems to fit into this category compared to what you'd usually see on the street.

You've unintentionally hit the nail on the head, by being inconspicuous it flies under the radar of scrutiny, making it SF friendly.

Are they the chubby homosexual sort with a constantly sweating brow, questionable taste and shiny lipgloss?

I've seen H+m's new collection. Im not sure whether to be excited or scared though http://hypebeast.com/2009/11/hm-2010-spring-collection/

I don't like any of it....maybe those slim chinos but, eh, it'll probably be made up entirely of polyester.

Wow 90% of that is ******* awful, wasn't really expecting this. This look in particular is just...wow..

I'll wait and see what resident H+M expert uncontrol has to say about this.

Didn't say anything about "try hard." But he was dressed by the internet--his stuff was all safe, SF-approved gear. Nothing about his outfit belonged to him. Agree with snake though, without SF I wouldn't have known what was going on. He looked fine.

I don't think my boots are fake though. Are all ndc's supposed to be made in Italy?

LOL

I don't really like most of it. I would never do the skirt look, but I do find it cool that they are bold enough to go in that direction at all.

The pants and jacket could be cool. Need to see up-close.

Fortunately H&M's collections are massive so this probably isn't indicative of anything other than "key pieces".

FWIW, I was looking through yoox's legal and FAQ pages to find a guarantee of authenticity, and didn't find anything. But it looks like the company runs the online stores for E Armani, D&G, Jil, Diesel, and other huge names so that makes me think they're at least a little trustworthy.

Some of the H&M stuff looks decent. Model and styling is garbage though. And I'm sure everything looks better in pics than in real life.

those geoffrey b small posts on SZ are really good, but fausts whiny attempts to seem like an industry insider are really grating. if the guy has apparently shown in paris 68 times, he probably doesn't need you to fact check him??
