(Old) What Are You Wearing Now/Today? Part II - pictures only - no discussion

[mulansauce]

I live in a crumpled up newspaper.

No means of income? What does that have to do with being a student. Just sound lazy to me.

Once you see it enough, it'll really grow on you. Trust me. I hated FTB's fits at first, now they're one of my favourites. He made me rethink my concept of what constitutes a good fit.

I know they'll shrink to fit but that "poofy" crotch is not cool!

This is a terrible example of faux whiskering, I'm surprised Drizzt would opt for these when he has so many jeans that are better.

This looks great to me, I especially like the longer pocket proportions on the shirt. Looser fits doesn't automatically = sloppy.

Is one of those sleeves rolled up?

thanks for the comments guys. i agree about the hoodie. trying to find an interesting way to wear it, and this wasn't it. yeah, the sleeves are turned up a bit. i can only pull a drizzt and say the bedford looks fine irl.

the clarks are next level awesome. you need to catch up!

Keep the belt, change the pants. They're too formal for everything else that you're wearing.

Warlok....I think belt looks ok, but it prolly would look a bit cleaner/sleeker without

today:

Fred Perry buttondown
Julian Red "sorrow" black selvedge jeans (remind me of the Context KMW 1890)
Doc Marten grey longwing brogues

I was going for the highest level of contrast possible with a nice indigo tone, which obviates the possibility of it looking natural. My aesthetic concept is obviously the opposite of FTB's in that I want the silhouette to be completely clean with no extra material whatsoever.

FtB seems to look more comfortable in his clothes than anybody else. He also reminds me of a Hayao Miyazaki character.

I think that in theory this makes sense, but not necessarily in practice. I am used to, and wear, almost exclusively "traditional" clothing, but if asked to pick a favorite out of all of the designers, ojhi would be my clear choice. Perhaps I have been innoculated, as my mother wore a lot of Yojhi for years, and my wife wears a bit as well, but to me it is more interesting, both in construction and idea, than almost anything else out there.

Ain't enough room in those jeans for any sausage.
