Polished & Pressed or Rugged & Wrinkled

[ndw]

Which aesthetic do you prefer?

Polished and Pressed;

Rugged and Wrinkled; or

A combination of the two.

Personally, I only like my shirts pressed, and don't care about rumples and wrinkles in my suits and SCs, don't care about a strong crease in my trousers, and virtually never polish my shoes (although I do use leather conditioner). For example, I don't take off my SC when I am driving. I like my clothes to looked lived in.

a little of both and maybe a lot of one on certain days. Never have a day when everything is wrinkled though.

Always polished and pressed for work/professional settings.

Usually, rugged and pressed for non-work settings, perhaps not as crisp as I would for work. Never rugged and wrinkled unless I'm doing outdoorsy activities or sports or playing a homeless man.

I prefer polished and pressed...but always wind up with some wrinkles.

Polished and pressed for dress occasions but rugged and wrinkled for casual and social attire.

If the first guy were to remove those f***ing gloves from his pocket, this would be my all-time favourite Sart photo. Like the second too.

Yeah. I really like both pics too. There is just something appealing to me about nice clothes (including shoes) that look like they have been worn and not just kept sitting in a closet. I distrust those that look too polished. Maybe it's because I am incredibly lazy.
