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

[Zamb]

This does look nice, but I'm not convinced. Always have a problem with newer brands having established brand prices, and Sies Marjan prices are crazy! Also, this outfit wouldn't look out of place in River Island.

Do you understand how Pricing works with brands?

True, maybe this is british office formal. I feel like if I deviate too far from that outfit it will confuse people. Thinking this is a good opportunity to buy some nice knitwear for the fall; Schneider an obvious choice and Scott and Charters(?) have some nice stuff on NMWA, then just wear over some boring office shirts.



Monitaly is a good shout, thanks!

I have a feeling i'm going to waste a lot of money on trial & error here

Camoshita is a great bet and perfect for your build.

Schneider is definitely going to work well too.

Ami or APC can be good too.

Lemaire if you’re going loose fit and have $$$$

Uniqlo has nice comfy easy cropped office style trousers.

Baller knitwear is always good.

Office lite is too easy come on!

Aha thanks. I think the main issue for me is feeling comfortable wearing it. I'm so used to wearing head-to-toe geller that i'm worried such a drastic change is going to make me feel uptight.

A lot of Geller trousers would work surely, if not too cropped?

I thought so but I can feel the 'why is your shirt so wide?' and 'why are your pants cut like that?' comments flowing fast

Short of wearing Rick Owens tunics with the dick holes (and maybe not even then unless you have your wang out), no one will ever say anything at work about your clothes at work. This doesn't mean that you can wear whatever you want, but whatever your common sense tells you to wear will not raise any eyebrows.

Does anyone make interesting casual gloves? I've looked at nonnative, kapital, and visvim. Nothing really seems to be around this season, but maybe stock hasn't come in yet.

Only really interested in leather. And not super tech-y or gothy artisanal gloves. Basically the kind of stuff you can wear with Kapital, Visvim, Kaptain Sunshine, etc.

Yep. Why do you ask ?

 

[Alexidb]

Maybe Hestra

I have some Hestra work gloves that I picked up last spring. Cheep and cheerful. Replaced my old shooting gloves I used to wear as driving gloves.

As someone who works in a place filled with folks like you've described, even if those comments come in, they subside quickly because it's no longer new to them. Instead, I'm now finding myself fielding style/fashion questions from guys who were previously too embarrassed to ask questions about clothes. With the dress code sounding pretty casual, I'd say dress how you want, so long as you aren't dressing offensively.

What do SWD guys wear to the office?

I dunno, I wear EG and OL blazers, W +H chinos, and boots.

 

[robinsongreen68]

chinos can't be the answer. better wear dress trousers, boring shirt + baller knit as suggested before.
actually uniqlo ankle pants + oxford shirt looks fine, the only thing that really matters is decent shoes.

 

[dieworkwear]

going to buy these extremely chill gloves at LN-CC

 

[MaiLam]

Don't love the sole, but these Clark's boots are kinda...ok?
