am i doin it rite?
sorry 4 bad quality

May I just point out this:

Disregarding the pants, Moo's whole outfit is on a different level in terms of quality, fit and color coordination. Yet, Moo get trashed and that dude gets 30 likes. How?!
Edit: The fit on the right is barely passable, albeit very boring and not well put together. It's not a horrible fit on the jacket, but not more than a B-.

main difference is that if I see bows, I am like oh, now that is one sexy motherfucker, I would **** him **********.

moo has perhaps an air of boss authority that comes across in work related pornography, but that's mostly it.

TL;DR MC is focused on looking good in a business setting, while SW&D is more focused on what looks "good" overall--which makes things more messy, but has the added benefit of including the base reality of how your clothes look and whether or not they are attractive to the average, fashionless street bystander.

Haha, the TL;DR is longer than the rest of the post.

edit: ******* next page'ed!

If you can't see that Moo and I are going for a different look then I don't know what to tell you. I think Moo is capturing what he wants with a high degree of success, while I am trying to do the same, with a different litmus scale. The fits shouldn't be compared, as they take place in different realms. I'm just trying to have fun while shooting a black tie event, and fitting in with whatever i have in my closet. Moo obiously has a job that requires more than mine, and he dresses accordingly. He doesn't look great from a SW&D pov, but he looks good from a MC prospective. He accomplishes what he want's and that is great! Thats what he wants! I don't want what he wants so why compare.

Moo, the reason I got more thumbs up than you is not just that I'm nice, etc. the things that have been said thus far. People just aren't looking for that type of fit in this section! Cross post both to MC and see how it gets flipped.

Overall, thanks for the thumbs up and the comments. I don't dress like this often (Haven't worn a tie in years) so its nice to hear some feedback.

edit - BTW after rereading derrida's comment; I don't believe that the "fashionless street bystander" would think Moo is more fashionable; merely more wall street.

On another note, what do you use in your hair bows? I need better product.

[indesertum]

bows got more rep because the picture is better



i like moo's fit better but his pants are too baggy

bows jacket is kinda bad (shoulders too large, gorge too high, peak lapels too low) and agree on the boring coordination

Steve Madden sneaker...oxfords? Is that what's going on, here? I'm intrigued.. :foo:.

 

[sugarbutch]

Y'all play a lot rougher over here than the fellas do in MC. It seems a lot more Darwinian. MC toodles along, relatively politely, until one of the more established guys gets fed up with ****/mediocrity and lets loose. gdl is the current enforcer, but there have been others. (I got jumped in by Niidawg.) Then there's a gang tackle of "Yeah, that sucks!" until everyone gets it off his chest, and we revert to the polite mean.

I don't know how much longer I'll last... it is a tiring (and obviously thankless) task ... maybe we should rotate enforcer roles... you next?

Yeah, no. I don't have nearly the cred to talk **** about other people in MC. I do call 'em like I see 'em, but not in that ball-breaking way that juices up the thread.

.

Yuh, Steve Maddens.

edit: omg nvm i just realized what it said. yeah i guess they're sneaker oxfords.
oxfords? i thought those were dressy shoes?
my boyfriend called them top-siders too but i thought that was what boat shoes are called....

if anything i would call them sneakers

 

[indesertum]

top siders are the model name of a brand (sperry) that fall under the umbrella of boat shoes


oxfords are close lace dress shoes

i would burn those sneakers, but that's me. you might wanna just donate to salvation army or something

I don't believe that the "fashionless street bystander" would think Moo is more fashionable; merely more wall street.

I don't want to reopen the circus about what is wrong with Mr Moo's fit, others have added bits and pieces over the past few pages and taken together, there is a good assessment of what's wrong...but I just want to state here and now, clearly, unequivocally....there is no way that fit would be considered admirable on Wall Street, The City, or anywhere else like that...and yes, grooming and clothing are immeasurably important in the work world in North America and Western Europe, and even moreso in other parts of the world....Mr Moo's fit would be considered foppish, pretentious, and dare I say, bizarre, in any serious professional work environment where attire and grooming counts and where wearing whatever you want to suit your personality doesn't quite fit the mould...and if as Mr Moo says he's 29, doubly so...

Mr Moo's fit may be considered highly stylish at the Moscow International pimp and mafia convention, but that is a far far far cry away from Wall Street...
