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

[OccultaVexillum]

@ShoutOutsFoMyBo I was just thinking I don't like that Traveller coat at all :/
But I don't know what i'm doing anyway so you're probably right.

And I love that Lemaire coat @dieworkwear , but I love all his coats and everything else.

Keep all these coming though there's some definite things I missed and some cool ones.

Ones that I like and am considering:

Spoiler

Mostly for the texture and it reminds me of the Lemaire suit coat from a few years ago (Porcupine?)

Tiny, weak lapels but Worn OPEN obviously.

I don't really know how I feel about belts on coats but I like it on this.

There's also a teddy one... and the belt looks bad.

I've always liked these too.

yasss

I already have the matching pants (and am selling them...)

I'm sick of my kilt options being limited to tartan or drab solids. What's the difference between men's kilts and women's skirts?

Tiny, weak lapels but Worn OPEN obviously.

Where did they find this model? Playing for the Estonian Globetrotters?

Have you checked out Auralee?

@OccultaVexillum At the end of the day only Lemaire is going to satisfy your want.

I like this one but maybe it need one of those Sherlock Holmes hats to go with it?

Yeah it looks a bit like a cape on the hanger, but in the pictures I've seen on instagram it looks great when worn.

Haha, yup. Copped the Monitaly combo below to get back in touch with the Italian lineage..guess I'm getting nostalgic? If I start abandoning slim fits and quality clothing after this for pleated Dockers, Members Only jackets, Champion sweats, I'm in trouble.

if you're gonna do velour needs to be burgundy like nmwa version

btw i can get down with velour

I really wanted that Monitaly velour jacket when it dropped. Even went down to Canoe Club to try it on. And then I noticed Urban Outfitters was carrying it. I just couldn't do it.

It's dope tho

Wow, I didn't know UO carried Monitaly.

 

[dotcomzzz]

I know, it's strange. I'm all conflicted about Monitaly now.

I know, it's strange. I'm all conflicted about the brand now.

They've had some good collabs with Stan Ray and Schott in the past. A slightly modified version of the Stan Ray fatigue, and then two affordable versions of Schott double riders. I actually thought they were really well done.

This season, they have a shirt with Rockmount.

Sup @jet ; thanks for co-signing on velour and hell yes, the Naissance burgundy velour suit from NMWA is in my scope and may be either the next track suit purchase on my downward fashion spiral or may be the next one I try if the Monitaly set doesn't work out for me. I considered that one first, but wanted to try something a little different than my usual slimmer fits

...starts searching for 90's era inspired gold chains...

Haha, that's actually where I picked it up from. Online, they've actually been carrying the brand a few season's now, I was just as shocked as you were, but UO has always been that way for as long as I can remember, a lot of trendy fast fashion knock offs, sprinkled with some "legit" brands and items. UO was actually the only place within the States that offered the pants in an XS (I'm typically a medium in bottoms, but I own the linen drop crotch shorts from this past SS18 season and had to size down to an XS to still achieve the loose vibe design, but the XS was the right fit in the waist where it was still loose, but I didn't have to really tie the drawstring super tight and fear that I was going to tear them off from over tightening every time). I'm hoping the velour version fits the same way. Mr. Porter and Monitaly's website didn't have them in XS.

I found this out when I Google searched and checked the item description like 3 times to make sure it was legit the Monitaly Velour set and not some UO knock off! Ironically enough and to this point, they do have a knock of version seemingly inspired by the leopard print Riso Fleece Mock neck top by Monitaly...

It's kinda cool that Yuki is getting carried in more places. Why would it make you conflicted about monitaly? They're not a big operation and not well known. UO has been carrying them for a couple years and clearly their designs haven't deteriorated.

It's like getting mad that your home town band gets a hit song somewhere.

 

[LA Guy]

If we are now putting Urban Outfitters in the "fast fashion" category, then the term has completely lost any meaning. It has had a pretty distinct identity and look and feel ever since its inception in 1970, and it also owns Anthropologie and Free People, both of which have carried and even championed small designed for decades now, along with a lot of own brand designs across the URBN portfolio.
