Random fashion thoughts

Putting the item's stylishness in the only context that actually matters - the owner and wearer himself?

Yeah I'm less into style than into awesome pieces of clothing. I'm more into the piece in a vacuum than in any sort of context involving me. So the "baller" threads are key to my consumption both in a consumer sense and a styleforum sense. But I'm the outlier here I'm sure.

Fundamentally I'm here to find new **** to blow money on and because this place is a source of amusement

Well guys I just saw Holy Motors and ****.


Also fwiw I'm with Teger on the thumbs thing. It's funny and it was cute for a while to have little jokes in the thumb comments, but I think people are abusing it. It's moving content / discussion away from posts. Not only that, but it's a terrible system for determining how good an outfit is. I swear I get like 10 more thumbs than normal whenever I wear my NiCo boots or ToJ DR.

RFT: Sometimes I wear a cool outfit that doesn't photograph well for whatever reason and that makes me kinda sad. Wanna share some **** with you guys.

Fashion aspiration is just another demonstration of the metonymy of desire. :foo:

Edit: this is not a serious post. (Damn this happens a lot.)

My wife does this incredible Gang's of New York villain thing way better than do I. I think that it's because she has a great face (hearl shaped) for hats. Her daily wear are APCs with Trickers Ghillies, an amazing Margiela mainline coat (raw cut silk chiffon over tweed), and a black Eugenia kim cap.

I pretty much keep wearing the same uniform as well. I've been stuck with this derbys, trousers and shirts for a quite some time and looking something fresh. Wearing the same clothes feels comfortable, but eventually gets boring. Maybe should try some nice sweatshirts / knits / velcro hi-tops.

I think teger just has a problem with reedo and stanley, I don't buy the whole I can't give you any examples bullshit.

Also, while interesting to read sometimes, lots of critical analysis is too much work to read through and that's not the primary reason I come to this forum.

This matches up pretty well with my recent purchases/ wears. I'm a little behind the SF hype cycle, and am basically wearing slightly long black light pants during the summer, and a pair of 17 oz samurai's during the winter- accompanied by boots or shoes. I have 8 items of clothing beyond white shirts, and I'm basically content. I can wear things in almost any weather, I look good in most/ all of it, and while I love buying more stuff, I don't really need to at this point.

It also helps that I'm a poor college student.

Guys am I a hype-cycle victim

Also reedo post another fit with the Plokhov leather, or sell it to me

Teger has a problem with anyone who is new, reedo is just easy target status

It's pretty well established haha

Old SF was shite, I can remember getting flamed because I was saying the W+H tees were really good, people were raving about banana republic and j crew and jerking over photo's of Daiki

 

[g transistor]

To be fair Daiki era WWM was pretty awesome and EG remains pretty cool

Yeah this probably has something to do with it, but most people who get caught up in hype and buying/selling a lot of clothes get some **** for it. I'm sure everyone remembers Kvc, he just didn't stick around and take it like reedo has. At least reedo is a good sport about it.

I almost never post my recent purchases. I posted after the Patrik Ervell sample sale because I wanted to let people know what was there, other than that I can't remember the last time I posted a recent purchase. If I want to floss I post in WAYWT.

I feel like it's a good time to post this quote again:

"As for Clothing, to come at once to the practical part of the question, perhaps we are led oftener by the love of novelty, and a regard for the opinions of men, in procuring it, than by true utility." -Thoreau, 1854
