I got this Blouson/Field Jacket from uniqlo, and it's awesome, the fit is great. But I wanted a way to make it look more worn like the field jacket in the fit GBear just posted in WAYWT.

The label says hand wash only, what would sticking it in the machine do? shrink it? or is the only way to make it look more worn to just wear it lots, haha.

nope, I has nothing to do with skincoluor, more the type of person.
I still see people wearing fake evisu's tucked in their white gym socks etc., it's the same type, who has begun wearing CDG play now.


Asian fast-fashion types have been wearing Play for years. J Crew sells Play on their website. There was an H&M x CdG collab. CdG is kinda weird in that it reaches a lot of different segments with the different lines, but that doesn't make the cool **** any less cool.

"Comme des Garcons" is runway ****: Rei, Junya, four-digit price tags.

"CdG Play" is brand-whore ****: kitschy cartoon hearts with eyes, no design involved, made for Asian high-schoolers (or at least that demographic patronizes it exclusively around Toronto).

i gave away all my cdg play to mrs.office, they just look much better on her than me. only cdg lines that really fit my aesthetics now is cdgh+ and cdg parfums.

cdg play is just annoying when people think they are so fashiony cuz they are balling in <3. i saw one japanese guy in his 60's wearing grey <3 cardigan with trickers brogues boots, and he looked pretty awesome.

I saw mad racaille (arab hood types a la la haine) doing this in paris circa 2000-2002
Wait, people wear denim tucked into their socks? Where do they do this at?

Do I have too thick of thighs to be wearing jeans with aggressive tapers? These are T000s with some spandex in them... They are an old pair.

IMO those look bad, but it doesn't mean you have to abandon tapered jeans altogether. Most people, myself included, don't look good wearing skin-tight pants. Size up so they fit comfortably, and a bit slouchy in the top block. Even my most tapered jeans are pretty roomy in the waist.

I see. I had one size up in these, have to find them.

No. Your thighs are nowhere near as big as mine, and I wear tapered jeans just fine. You'll have to size up, so the waist will likely be too big, but that's what belts are for. You just need jeans with a bigger top block, to accommodate those big upper legs, something like a Naked and Famous Weird Guy, etc.
