alternatively, embrace that **** and use your lanky build to make bizarre silhouettes. Would require more steez/swag/sprezz/whatever, though.

basically, your clothing fits in a way that makes you look like shaggy from scooby doo. look at that weird concave aspect in the knees. i don't know whats going on here. anyway, if you are really this lanky, work to minimize that.


I think that the fit of these jeans just suck for me. They are too tapered. Agreed? I am lanky, but don't thing these jeans are helping. I paid $225 for them primarily because of the brand, and think I just made a bad call. I think my Left Field slim straights fit much better. May just try to sell these on B&S, have only had them a month or so.

The bigger problem is that his clothes are boring.

Tip to that poster: just lurk more. Post again in 4-6 months.

It probably won't change your mind on the fit, but it may help you identify specific problems that you can inform me of.


I used to get that bizzaro knee crimp thing in some of my jeans, which is why I sold them off.

I am just under 6'0 and weigh 145. Waist size is a 29. Inseam is approx 32." While I'm lanky, I'm not uncommonly lanky, if that makes any sense. Below is the same shirt and shoes paired with J. Crew 484 Slim Cords. I realize they aren't the best pants in the world, and don't look the best with this outfit. I just think that these fit me better - yes? no?

i think you'd like the shoes if you saw them in person? maybe crepe soles throwing it off. the lighting makes em look poor. They're yuketen boots although duly noted ill reevaluate. and no people in SD dress like absolute garbage. and it was low 50's high 40's today :[

J. Crew Scarf? I have the same one if so...

I like the fit. Don't love the shoes, although I may not have a ton of room to critique - but that is just my two cents.

As far as scarf knots, I like the Persian Knot for warmth - Fold the scarf in half, wrap around, and pull through loop. I am also a big fan of mellow's wrap around/tuck in sort of thing.
