The charitable part of me wants to imagine that the dude was recovering from some medical condition or something like that, and needed to wear loose, soft clothing. But actually I think that he was a 40+ adult who decided to go out in public in something in between pajamas and workout clothes, because he felt like it. People: I don't understand them.
When your hair turns grey you're allowed to say "IDGAF" and no one will question you because they'll just attribute it to Alzheimer's.... Saw a really badass old lady the other day though, dressed to the nines in the middle of Belltown in Seattle, bonnet, little umbrella, she looked like Mary Poppins (in a good way). The Sartorialist would have loved her

I have you beat. I was on the L today and there was a guy in pajama pants (and really obnoxious/stupid ones at that) paired with those sneaker-hiking boot hybrid sort of shoes.

I've yet to see someone wearing pajama bottoms that weren't obnoxious in public.

A du on the forum sent me this excerpt from rl site

Not all cashmere is created equal. The best cashmere is made from "virgin" fiber, which is used in yarns, fabrics or garments for the first time, unlike reprocessed fiber. High-quality cashmere sweaters are made of two-ply cashmere yarns (the longer the yarn, the better the cashmere). These longer yarns may sometimes result in pilling, which is not an indicator of lesser-quality cashmere, as the popular misconception goes. If your sweater does pill, simply give it a once-over with a sweater shaver to refresh its look

But the waffle knit ones are 55% cotton I think and feel much, much better and are cheaper too. Both do a good job keeping warmth, though.

Thanks for the info. I probably need some warm layering stuff and will def not order the underarmoury things. That material always bugs me.

Closest thing i see most of the time is sweatpants tucked into uggs

Sometimes, it's still good though

Lots of girls in baggy pants in Japan. Definitely looks cute, but i'll never get tired of skin-tight denim

extremely random fashion thought,

Anyone ever notice how the shape of that white outlined bib part of this margiela shirt is the shape of the boob and crotch area of the naked girl belt buckle which the lines of the shirt point down to? i always saw this and thought it was neat like a secret detail you don't notice at first but it always seemed too inane to bring up but hey whatever~ edit: yeah what a dumb thing to post lol oh well

 

[indesertum]

too much time on your hand. but good eye
