Random Fashion Thoughts (Part 3: Style farmer strikes back) - our general discussion thread

Actually, I guess I would record it and post it on social media because no sales associate has ever called my body shape flattering ?

 

[blacklight]

I'm think we're agreeing here and it's possible I'm just not making my point effectively.

No one is going to kill you for saying flattering. This is fact. But the politics of the present moment dictate that as a younger dude who is probably dating some of these women, I am not making too many comments on women's appearance unless I'm asked for an opinion. Which I feel like is the sane thing to be doing. I just felt that the article needs to get into that quicker.

Whatever the case, it's an interesting thing to be thinking about.

In other news, was just in A.P.C. yesterday and the quality of what I was seeing on some of the racks was H&M level. I wonder what's going on there.

In that case allow me to apologize.

Whoa whoa, this is the internet. You can't be willing to actually listen or apologize, smh.

The only acceptable way to respond is to start your next post with "Well, actually ________" or "clearly you didn't read what I wrote."

Gen Z is a bunch of sissies who get offended by anything and everything. Social media is toxic, it doesn't matter your intentions someone will find a way to criticize anything. People have posted photos of their body transformations after years of dieting and time spent in the gym and people will criticize them for being insensitive for the people who "tried everything" and can't lose weight.

Chrissy Teigen made a post on how she is a ditz who always loses her Apple headphones and people criticize her for being insensitive and rich and talk about how they can't even afford one.

A lot of people would rather ***** and whine about things than put in the hard work to get what they want or reach their goal.

Now you are sounding like a grumpy Gen Xer.

I'm about to turn 35 but due to a moving of the arbitrary line some 10 years ago I am considered a millennial.

This is all very dumb.

Is it sad that my closet keeps me in shape more than my fragile self image? ?

Wow Moda Operandi (Like TF) has some great presentation, haven’t been this impressed since my first Matches purchase with the huge marble magnetic box. They threw in some Margiela hangers as well. Their lavender color scheme is unique to say the least

This is exactly how I see Rick dropping some sets even before the rona. I thought Rick had some great pieces back in my early SF days but everything was either black or dark gray. I remember almost pulling the trigger on a white suede jacket though

Atelier Savas, a bespoke leather jacket company based in Nashville, just came out with some back zips. The photos on their website look a bit funky, but I think the shape is an effect of the boots having been soaked to create that weathered look. Kind of like the "flat" shape on Guidis. I assume the boots fill out nicely once you put them on.

Price is a bit expensive at $825 or so, but they're a cool brand and I dig their aesthetic. Sort of country-rock, vintage-inspired fits.

The link to the website isn't coming previewing correctly, so here it is as a hyperlink.

Woah I like that a lot actually, I have enough shoes, but I’ll keep an eye on this. I like guidi, but could never pull the trigger due to the grimdark vibes.
