HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part III

[TDP]

Going to a soirée for my fifth-year college reunion!

 

[P-K-L]



As for the wardrobe and my prosperity.

 
I have already said - I repeat once more. I'm not rich, but rather vice-versa.

By your standards - I'm probably the middle class, and close to its lower limits.
I can not afford many things that would be.
I actively enjoy discounts on purchases, visit the promotions and sales.

I do not have the luxury. I do not have a decent capital.

All I have - got me through hard work.

I belong to a not very wealthy middle class. This class is very wide for you. In Russia, the middle class - is extremely small.

Once again -

 
I'm not a rich man,
I am not of petroleum magnate
I am not a thief from Russia,
I'm not official.

I am very simple person, who has a small and modest business.

Thank you for your understanding! 

Молодец!

As much as I love my fellow Russians, anyone with Berluti bags, multiple bespoke suits and shirts, a new briefcase for each day of the week, etc etc is most definitely not middle class, by any standard in any country.

In short, Vitya ne pizdi. ;-)

In short, Vitya ne pizdi. ;-)

Such a strong words
But I agree with you about middle class definition Especially for Russia, Ukraine etc.

One of your better looks, but it still bothers me to see a tie without a sport coat/blazer/suit. I'm not a fan of the look. To me it screams software engineer.

Is there a specific reason why you're wearing ties? Work?

Ha. That's my brother. Thanks.
I actually agree—these are just on the edge, and I'd like it if they were just a tad bigger. Could you PM me some similarly-shaped frames? these are Warby Parker's Japhy—the only one of their frames to look good on me. I'd love to have higher quality, equally awesome-looking tortoise frames. Thanks.

Judging from your style/pics, I think a pair of Paul Smith or Oliver Peoples Frames would be perfect.

(As an FYI, there's no need to spend top dollar on frames( i've sold high end- Versace & Blinde) as fit is more important than anything. -- Many frames are made with the same materials(usually zyl acetate) in the same factory whether it be China/Japan/Italy and simply stamped with a particular brand)

Rich or not, I want to see photos of your closet.

Tie clip is distracting, no jacket looks weird too. -10 points if this is not your work uniform.

English doesn't have the same effective language.

Why not? A middle class can afford all that. He is saying he is not mega rich but is doing ok. If you have a strong interest for clothes and wanna spend all your extra cash on that rather then watches, cars, trips or whatever. You can go bespoke as well

A few more generations America won't have a middle class anymore either.

wondered if you might comment a bit on your cottonwork shirts? I've really liked the collars on all the shirts you've photographed over time; what details do you request when ordering from them?

Suit: Herringbone
Shirt: Cottonwork
Tie: Henry Carter Neckwear silver POW 7-fold
Cardi: Olive Country Road
Shoes: Carmina Brown captoe

Dude I was thinking the same thing.
