A Daily "Mens Clothing" and "Streetwear and Denim" Fit Comparison Thread

Duh. Don't forget suspender buttons, duh.

Fishtail back, then?

 

[james_timothy]

Let me be the first-

In the latest round, I like gdl's fit.

 

[Quadcammer]



Uh oh
Well, I don't know where you live but in my world, no it doesn't. Many TRY to look like this (as also evidenced by the hundreds of casual fit pics posted here) but very few achieve the great fit, proportions and colors (in this case, purely on the white-grey-black spectrum) that is shown here.
It's okay if you can't see it. Most people out there wouldnt see the difference between a vox fit and a Man of Lint fit either

I live just outside manhattan.

once again, great fit not found. Its a t-shirt, jeans that are too long, and a pair of sneakers. Where is the great fit?

colors? white gray and black? **** me sideways, I'd never think to combine those.

This look is as mediocre as it gets

I don't know how to speak old English, or even middle English for that matter so no.

truth

wouldn't it be better to compare photos of similar quality too ? picking one clear closeup vs a garbage front-door 3 pixel cell phone shot does an injustice to one or the other

 

[Rompson]



why? this looks great, imo. no stacking for me, please. dunno what TL;DR means? can somebody help me out, ty.

You don't think the way the jean tapers down really small and ends right at his ankle is awkward? You don't think that because the jean is tapered, his shoes look pretty huge and blobby?

IMO he would look best with a pair of slim-straight jeans in this context. But alternatively, a little stacking would help ease the transition from ankle to shoe.

Simple color schemes are best.

Simple color schemes are best.

Technically, black, grey, and white, are not colors. The absence of color by definition, Simply contrast shades

Sorry for the interlude...

Yes, but I am constrained by what's actually available, meaning what's posted in the previous day or two. I don't have the energy to go beyond that to attempt some sort of grand survey of all looks in both forums throughout time..but, I welcome someone who would if that interests you.

I think that gdl used the same cell phone for both pics, and he does not spend the time to take full body MC shots (at least, not for a few years.) So, it is what it is.

yeah, my point is that black white and gray is about as common as it gets in MC

Comparison #4: 03.23-24.12

[SW&D commentary]

The SWD look suffers from the shirt not being tucked in (and the hair being tuckered out, but who are we to cast stones).
MC suffers from lack of something to finish the look off at the neck, but that is a problem that is hard to deal with if you think you can't wear a tie in the circumstances. Someone should alter modern consciousness to make ascots/neckscarves less douchy because they have a useful function. Colors are great.

 

[FlyingMonkey]

For once I am not quite sure what the point comparing these two contrasting fit and photographic efforts is, other than to illustrate that colour sometimes can work better than black and white and grey, and just based on these two pictures, gdl can look better in a sport coat combination he just threw on than a leather jacket combination he just threw on (or at least just this sport coat and this leather jacket).

Comparison #4: 03.23-24.12

[SW&D commentary]

I think the MC gdl wins this one easily. Great SC! I think the SW&D gdl would have greatly benefited from just tucking his shirt in. The white of the scarf attracts the eye and frames his face which is good, but the contrast of the white sticking out below his leather jacket draws the eye towards his waist, which is bad.

Edit: cross-post, Dopey beat me to the shirt comment while I was typing.

 

[lysandar]

MC, hands down.

Now i'm a little confused. You think those guys posted above are mediocre? You said parker's colors were mediocre, but he's wearing a very similar color scheme.
