Hi everyone,
I'm only 17 years old, so I'm having a hard time incorporating classic menswear into my everyday dress. My biggest fear is just looking like a hipster or, worse yet, "dandy." It seems like at my age, doing so much as tucking in my shirt can get me odd looks or questions of "why are you so dressed up?". Every day for the past year or so, I've pretty much been wearing loafers (I have a few decent pairs; Allen Edmonds, Meermin), slacks, a buttondown shirt tucked-in and, when it gets colder, a sweater or cardigan. However, I'm starting to get bored of having such little variety. I love the look of cravats, however I'm almost certain wearing those is out of the question for me for at least 40 years, hah.
What are some ways I could start bringing more aspects of classic menswear into my casual wardrobe without looking "dandy?"
Is there any possible way I could wear ties casually without looking queer? Bowties?
Thanks,
Wayne
