it just looks like I'm wearing a shirt and sweatpants.

That's what it looks like to normal people, so the photos are pretty true-to-life

Mmm, I disagree. As much as such an outfit might have the same "shape" as, or basic elements of, a lounge-look, it's pretty clear that, in person, ****'s waaaay beyond sweatpants+t-shirt. The construction of those clothes—their fabric, their volume, the cut, the "flair"—practically bellows at you. Someone once mentioned this before in a conversation about goth-ninja/sheik-sarabande: whereas most aesthetics that focus on "slimming" the wearer's silhouette rely primarily on color-matching and patterns to construct an interesting look, a Rick- or Damir- or Julius(?)-look is going to leave everything (mostly) monochrome, focusing instead on fabric and eccentricity as the locus of the fit's attitude. In other words, it looks way ******* cooler than a t-shirt and sweatpants, and it's really, really noticeable.

Ehh idk if I'd throw Julius in there, totally different IMO.


I do agree most of what you're saying though. I love the silhouette and it's harder (but not impossible) to create it with most other brands.

 

[Urthwhyte]

I really enjoy it as well and agree with both of you, I'm just saying that the Rick luxe-loungewear stuff looks very similar to a sweatpant and tee to most people

I've given it some thought but anyone consider becoming a personal shopper via setting up a blog/webpage of sorts and producing some consulting for interested people? I purchased the Photoshop suite 2 months ago and still yet to install the package. Need to get my alternative stream of income flowing ASAP.

 

[dfagdfsh]

yea gonna have to do better than that

 

[toothsomesound]

our legacy has a pair the seem nice, COS probably has something.

 

[gettoasty]

Just look at my RP in thread and let me know. I've gotten several PMs.
I'll know personally this Tuesday when the shipment arrives.

FWIW, I searched through Yoox past couple of days and found a lot of worthwhile purchases of trousers and jackets around the $200 mark. I was pleasantly surprised, but did get "burned out" and bored (It got so easy)

 

[snowmanxl]

toj slim trousers!! theyve got an elasticized waistband.
schneider, kva. more and more designers are doing it so you'll find a pair eventually.

shah, i dont think ill wear it out on its own. ive always intended to layer my siki im top over the kurta.

 

[KingJulien]

Didn't you pretty much just describe the ToJ trousers? You might not have the build for the 6.5 in leg opening or whatever it is though.

a few ppl have pm'd(at least 8 or more) me to ask advice on their purchases and what/where to buy/look for suitable items that will mesh with their style.
friends/family recommended me doing this too. lets hook it up toasty!
