The General Lookbook Appreciation Thread

These are kind of interesting. Found them through Vox. They're scans from an 1980s catalog retailer called Tweeds, which was a spin-off from Popular Merchandise (the precursor company to J. Crew). Mostly seemed to be focused on womenswear in linens, cottons, and wools (little actual tweed). The designs are kind of Lemaire-ish.

Advanced menswear right now is basically dressing like a 1980s cat lady.

Beige Habilleur shop lookbook for SS1

I really liked that. Kinda subtle photography/ art direction and nice eclectic traditional clothes. My goal this year is to try a silk neckerchief.

Nothing ground breaking here, but I've been really into Kaptain Sunshine lately. Like an LL Bean catalog, but better. FW18 lookbook here:

This velcro closure is interesting, was this popular at the time or just a one-off?

Lemaire's parka from SS18 has similar closure, which I thought was a cool detail

Off topic a bit but didn't realize the same parka has an internal strap you can wear like backpack...totally dig that.
