Does anybody have recs for some off white/cream suede espadrilles?
I’d go for castaner but can never seem to find suede ones in the Pablo and I don’t like their other styles. The only other option I’ve found is yoox house brand but they didn’t fit. I’d like to be in the castaner price range too.

Thanks!
Any idea if they look more normal on feet? That side profile looks very stubby.
The closest they have seems to be champagne and it's not in my size, but I'll search the brand elsewhere.

Nah, I see Mulo a lot but I just don't like them. Same for Rivieras. Thanks though.
I like the classic style of the Castaner pablos. Sunspel made some good ones too but they were all canvas.

Would taupe or light grey suede achieve the same kind of look?

Sure. A very light grey or sand wouldn’t be that different

Haven't been to a haircut place since before the pandemic. People around here don't seem to be wearing masks in barbershops consistently and so haven't wanted to risk it.

I've given myself some sketchy haircuts, and also shaved my head a couple times. Looking pretty rough these days though.

sketchy haircuts always and forever. Watch some YouTubes on technique if you gotta I guess


not bad but would be happy to see more interesting pieces instead of printed sweatshirts/tee

the black tee w ferry’s face is good

I've been cutting my own hair since the pademic started and it's actually been okay. I think if I got a barber to do what I have now, it would end up being too tight, too neat and altogether too 'fashie' - whereas if it's a bit looser, it just looks alright.

135GBP for "elevated" style, Lolz. We're talking about espadrilles here, you buy these near the beach and throw them away at the end of summer.

I see someone else has posted similarly priced horrors. You guys need to get out of the internet it is messing with your brains (morans!).

Sorry man, that's dumb. You could say that about everything (actually dumb people do say that about all the clothes we buy here). I have some Castaner espadrilles that are on their 7th or 8th summer. What's so special about espadrilles that one must buy the cheapest option?

Reminds me of "my 5 year-old kid could paint that" comments

It's so linked to a certain kind of time of the year, area and activity that I just can't fathom wearing them anywhere else for one.
