It’s awful seeing every other person wearing one of those coats , usually along with cropped trousers and extra chunky filas etc

I think he means the ladies.

Anyways, it’s nice not having a Uniqlo in your state. When you travel, its fun seeing people decked out like the internets, not depressing.

I’d agree that most people should probably explore other options if they’re just casually running a few miles here or there and they do feel weird when you’re not running... but otherwise I’m going to have to disagree with you.
In my experience (I’ve run multiple marathons and halfs in both the 4% and the next%, and have a bunch of friends that race in them) they’ve worked for people at a variety of ability levels and stride types. Also they’re plenty durable for a racing shoe, I have about 300mi on my older pair and they’re still going.

I’m with on the 4%, I’ve seen those things last. I’ve just been told not expect the same out of the nexts. But every runner is different and some seem to squeeze miles out of shoes I can’t fathom.

Oscar Wilde cosplay on the right, innit?
Yeah, it is a bit Oscar Wilde-y. I guess coats like that can look good on larger-than-life Falstaff-types but they are ridiculous on most guys.

I know gray is so neutral, but when I see gray haired dudes in gray it looks so dope to me.
In oversize fuzzy robe coats? It's like something a large Muppet would wear standing behind Kermit and the gang.

I was thinking gray in general, but yeah, that coat too. But don’t listen to me, I think a lot of weird stuff is cool. Except tabis and Crocs.
Your taste is excellent, no worries there. We can't all like the same stuff. That would be boring. The Silver Fox look is timeless and I hope to affect it myself eventually.

Hello

What is everyone's thoughts on brown sweaters? I bought this brown sweater, because it was deeply on sale, I was wondering should I keep or return it? I usually don't like wearing anything brown because it looks dirty, but the price was too good to pass up, although I can see why they have it on sale. What is everyone's opinion on the sweater?

An update to my previous post about the dirty brown color sweater.

I went to the store to pick it up and the color was even much worse in person, I thought to refund it right away when then I thought I could exchange it for another color and I did because they still had some stock left in my size! Overall a pretty good buy, I bought a cheap ugly brown sweater online and got a nice colored one in exchange.

Here is a pic (dirty brown colour on the left, the new one I exchanged for on the right):
