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

Would y'all mind sharing some links? Fok linked a Ukranian shop on etsy, but their sizes are too small for me

I've bought a couple of night shirts from this Latvian seller. I don't know much about regular shirts or other things but they seem to carry a lot of items.

I got a kaftan from this shop and like it a lot:

I also got some linen shorts from this shop that were good, might get a kurta from them this summer:

So linen is gummy, or springy and spongy. Can it be bouncy?
Yes, is this code talk?

lol yes it's code . for processing .

linen comes from the stalk of flax , it is bound up in the plant with pectin and that gets digested off ( called retting ) which is what ends up characterizing the fiber product . different processes yield different outcomes , whodathunk

I was just thinking the pair of straight fit Uniqlo x Lemaire jeans were a bit too tapered when paired with the Lemaire side zip boots. The jeans would look more balanced IMO with sneakers or midcut boots think Loake Kemptons. For the side zip boots now I’m considering some wider jeans like what 18 East offers. Funny enough I have another pair of UU jeans in black with less of a taper, more volume from the hip down that I think fits perfectly well with the side zip boots.

Edit:
When I think of wide fit jeans, Standard Issues Slacker pants comes to mind. I like those

Please link to epic linen Etsy sheets. Sound fantastic! Also, @DorianGreen , I hope I didn’t offend and no need to apologize. I was being facetious.

I realize I didn't link the seller I bought from, but it was this 2nd one in this post - Linen Fog

I’m more offended by the 50 cent like throw

I'm worried about you

Admittedly not a nice jacket and awful shoes, but the trousers salvage the look on the right

On board with these down to the knees, not a fan of the fabric flapping when walking with those extra wide 30cms leg openings (unless the leg length is more clearly cropped)

After thinking on it, got strong JNCO silhouette reminders. I used to hate these, but not anymore.

Damn was about to be an instakop for me but I scrolled down haha. Wish it was less 1940’s sailor and more 70’s cut. Love linen pants with some style to them instead of the same old same old flat front

SFC has varying cuts in wider leg trousers, though none in a 70's flared cut if I understood correctly.

TROUSERS

High waisted trousers, 1950s trousers, wide leg trousers, pleated pants, High waist trousers, classic trousers

@sebastian mcfox had a pair in the "Wide Leg" I think and looks great. Definitely more 1940's Sailor though.

My pair of Scott Fraser Collection wide-legged pants. I can highly recommend the cut:

Looks good here but linen is probably soft and light enough for it to be less annoying/noticeable too, where it just sort of folds around your ankle when moving.

Something to keep in mind is that lots of straight leg trousers with a wide enough leg opening end up looking like flares when you're walking anyway, just how science works, adding actual flares on top can sometimes be too much. I often wear perfectly straight cotton ducks trousers with a 26cm hem, I look like an old school off-duty sailor standing still and like a 70s bum in motion.

Sounds like a 10"-11" hem is about as wide as one should go?

My Stan Ray fatigues I posted have a wide-ish hem, but the thighs are also quite wide too.

This summer I’m going to try my hand at this look only no suede just full linen

Not sure about this one. Vague #2020menswear safari jacket vibes from this. I tried that look and it aged itself within 2 years.

I think safari jackets and shirts look better as part of a workwear outfit vs. being tailoring-adjacent.

Also damn, this place pops off during the week days, I only post on weekends.

In the early 00s heyday of bootcut jeans, my wildest pair were 22” hem. It was difficult to not wreck the hems completely. In vote for 18” as a compromise between the insanely tapered 14” or even 13” hems and these 33” jawnz.

The proper solution is JNCO capris.

It could work if they were hemmed enough, no? These vaguely remind me of skirts, kilts, and lungis
