Random fashion thoughts

[A Fellow Linguist]



its obvious we have different body types and styles, did anyone need to point that out? and it's obvious that this is not exactly the look I am going for.
my reason in postin' that pic is that here we see an internet-respected waywt poster with tailored/hemmed pants. a bit tight? yes. but the point is that not everyone needs stacks contrary to popular SF belief

dude I don' think anyone is saying you can't have pants hemmed at that length. It just looks bad when you do it. just don't act salty and learn from your mistakes, is all.

Most of us already know this.

I didn't doubt you weren't already aware of the body type differences, but that still makes a difference in the overall look. A guy with any weight on him wearing anything like that will probably look awful. I kind of think he's getting away with it because the socks and jeans(?) appear to be the same color, so there isn't this jarring contrast when you look down there.

The whole Pro-Stacks vs. Pro-No Break struggle that has emerged in recent weeks is kind of fascinating, mostly because I think those involved seem to misinterpret the other side. I think when the no break guys read "stacking" they think of monstrous denim flapjack stacks. In reality, most people championing stacks really just mean, "Stop wearing jeans like trousers, Urkel, and let those babies break a little bit."

lol, and bowz, I luv ya man but for you to be saying that sounds pretty fuckin hypocritical.

A lot of people on here very much over emphasize how tight my pants are, when they really aren't that tight. But thats neither here nor there.
They look like leggings precisely because they do NOT have stacks

But dude you're sorta bow-legged which is why it doesn't look good. I don't think anyone's saying that in general pants with no break look bad, but on you it does.

 

[aether]

thats funny because I think my slight bow is why stacks DONT work.

Feels good to kop grails.

 

[toothsomesound]

is there a COS thread? just tried searching for one and failed. I don't know how I never knew about this.

True, but part of what makes it look good is that mellow does this with non-denim pants.

edit: Here, ARW.

I feel like I've yet to see a cropped denim fit that looks really, really good. Chinos? Yeah, I can dig cropped chinos (queue umpteenth Mellow reference). But cropped blue jeans? Mehhhhhhh.

Just like how everyone loves skinny Asian dudes wearing MMM 5zip but not so much when beefy white guy wears it?

The rail thin guys just happen to be styling them decently, the bigger guys haven't.

Nonsense. Body type plays a huge factor in how certain aesthetics or stylistic choices look. I can admire some of the garb the rail-thin dudes on here or Tumblr look, but I don't dare try to replicate a lot of it because things such as beefy things and a big ass will impact the overall look, and usually not for the better.

+1..... this is so obviously true I don't understand the comment below.... body type plays a huge role in the overall aesthetic and silhouette, that to ignore that it's a factor is just inane. Lagerfeld was pissed at H&M (iirc) for making his clothes in large and extra-large for a reason. Do you want to see a fat guy wearing and I'll fitting double-breasted suit or God forbid a Speedo? Would you like to see the clearly overweight girl I saw this afternoon sporting the muffin-top tank? Some people just can't get away with rocking what is supposedly "cool" or "stylish" because they can't pull it off... whether that be attitude, confidence, size or aesthetic there are definitely reasons some people look good in certain fits while others do not... and btw... not all skinny guys are Asian... myself included.
