Foofing Foo

[howbah]

prefer the new version myself, on the principle that a close-fitting logo T calls for simple, streamlined pants - no pleats, no cuffs, no break.

Yes, but if you've read the "original" Foofing thread, you would realize that such imperfections are frowned upon because they show you to be the imperfect plebe that you are. Plebe.

Might work better with a collared shirt under that sweater. Also, the photo editing (most saturation) makes the words on the sweater glow like he has a neon sign plugged into his nipples.

And like I said, too formal for things like sweat shirts or tees.
I don't see what too much contrast would mean if your sports coats are basic navys or browns. I wear gray flannel pants quite often and it goes with almost everything I have.

Before: god awful
After: slight less so

The word 'BROWN' should be smaller on the shirt so the Foo will appear larger.
(I am suprised that Foo would not have thought of this himself when he bought it)
I would also like to see an assortment of different hairstyles presented. (examples- Long Hair, Bald, Mowhawk, Beards, etc.)

It's just personal preference. I like mid gray better than light gray, because I feel like there is *too much* contrast when I wear the light grays with my navy/brown sports coats - I feel like it's too loud. Of course, literally no one else in my work or personal life notices these things...

Fortunately "mid-gray" encompases a good range of colors.

I would have gotten the mid-grays from HY but they sold out, and I figured I'd give the light gray a shot... Eh, next winter.

The new pants look like sweatpants.

That's why they work better with the sweatshirt .

+1, but more like a polo. The sweater in itself looks too casual for flannel pants. As someone else said, maybe it'd look better with chinos, but the purpose of Foo's blog post was to show the pants, so I'd say a polo or dress shirt and a less casual (v neck) wool pullover. Anyway, Foo himself implied he didn't bother choosing the top, so we shouldn't give much thought to it.

And then, in typical

fashion, he defended this choice as if his e-life depended upon it.

yes, i know the notion of distinguishing btwn 'dress' pants and 'casual' pants is repugnant, but i can't believe anyone going for a picnic in central park would choose to wear their new $XXX ($800

) pants, even if you have 4 xta pairs waiting in the box at home.

That's my favorite post in the whole sorry affair.
