In the vein of some of Derek’s posts what is everyone looking forward to wearing this spring summer?
for me, some light easy pants, popovers/long sleeve polos, espadrilles, an some tailoring again!
I read “loafers for loafing” and a few other articles before convincing myself buying Aldens was stupid, even if they were the best fit with the rest of my wardrobe, because like I said: not a loafer guy.
A year and a half in, and I've finally broken in my Meermin Snuff loafers.This is funny bc i've tried a couple different loafers and hated them all - trying to avoid dropping $600 on Alden suede flex welts which I've tried on and are insanely comfy out of the box.
Got bitten by the loafer bug a few years ago. C&J Harvard's became my favorites and wear them with tailoring or casual wear all year. Aldens very nice as well.I’m looking forward to working in some loafers. For the longest time, I really didn’t consider myself a loafer guy. Just not my thing. But then a couple summers ago I had to buy a pair last minute to wear with a kurta for a wedding I was a groomsman in. I read “loafers for loafing” and a few other articles before convincing myself buying Aldens was stupid, even if they were the best fit with the rest of my wardrobe, because like I said: not a loafer guy.
Anyway, I bought some very low quality ostensibly “snuff suede” loafers thinking I might wear them once and never again. But I kind of loved them? And I got a bunch of compliments even though they were pretty bottom barrel (and this was a wedding with lots of flexing). At the beginning of the pandemic I bought a pair of beefrolls from Rancourt during their first round of crowdsourcing but didn’t have too many opportunities to wear them when they arrived in October. So, yeah: I’m looking forward to working some loafers into some summer fits.

Some days I want loose and breezy, others I want some armor. One day I may want to explore some techwear, be water my friends.
On the other hand I have some favorite posters who seem to have endless interchangeable pieces.
So I have no fixed style opinions on this subject. Be water.
I'm not Derek but I can't commit to just one look. I like the variation. The result is that I have a very wide variety of clothes and can dress in a number of styles. I like being able to see a look that I like and put something together that's close or has some elements from that look.
You can take a look through my instagram feed. I don't think I have a signature look. If anyone thinks otherwise, I'd love to hear it. I change it enough that people might see me in different things each time even if they see me from week to week. Nothing too extreme but just different styles.
I also like that I can combine things from different styles to come up with something a little different. For example, wearing Kapital Century Denim Jeans in a casual classic menswear style:

The downside is that it does take up a lot of space.
Oh man, I got so hype with loafers. I also thought they'd work great with western clothing and kurta pyjamas.I’m looking forward to working in some loafers.

Most looking forward to wearing a graphic t of whichever company's vaccine I end up getting. Also my dumb fishing hat.

Same with me. Feet destroyed by an Army career and always a hard fit. I never order shoes unless I already own a pair from the same last. Took me forever to find loafers that fit. Tried just about everyone below Edward Green and finally found the Crockett & Jones Harvard. They are unlined and very flexible and they mold to your foot. The suede model fits insanely well. C&J carries a few choices but Ben Silver has many made for them.Anyone else have 0 desire to try and buy new shoes? I used to love shoes, but now I dread the thought of ordering anything and wondering if it will fit.
My right foot is a good bit wider than my left, and every pair necessitates stretching at home.
