one says "I care about fashion and style enough to research into unique and lesser known brands" and the other says "I LOVE LV'S MARKETING DEPARTMENT!"

it's like, really, when you see some kid walking down the street with a gucci belt buckle or something are you like "DAMN THAT GUY IS FASHIONABLE BECAUSE HIS BELT BUCKLE COST THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS" or do you think "that guy spent three hundred dollars on a logo, for that price I could have bought some common projects that would look good and subtle, instead of screaming look at me!!!" Not saying I dress cheaply, or subtly. but for the price my **** costs yeah I could have bought a lot of random fashion house garbage, I'd rather wear **** people don't even know exists.


Points aside, there's nothing good about subtlety unless you're ugly.

I got my hair cut on the weekend so that I can stop feeling the need to wear my hat to work. Still plenty long on top for weekends though. Click for front alt or go to blog for different alt.

ciclista, thats a lot of denim (with not so much details ) and the shirt is very blunt. I think a plain shirt or a less loud color would blend in better.

Thomaso, the coat fits you nice. You could go for a brighter jeans(?). Would work better with the shoes. But with this picture quality, I ll assume it is much brighter than it looks and you are good.

kix, I like this a lot. Don't bottom the shirt up to your chin and I hope the outseam color matches the shirt.

Notwit, good basic fit. Blue jeans would work better though.

Kunk, too tight. However, that beanie looks really good on you.

jwied, show more of the boots, please. And make someone buy you a bracelet.

Morgan, all of the pieces are nice. But the jeans looks too clean here and there is already a lot going on on that sweater. With that jacket the upper half looks a bit messy compared to the lower half.

shellshock, it doesn't do you a favour tha tthe end of the jacket and the dress are aligned.

Alex, drop the glasses and add a smile (and a hat) and your look goes from guido to great.

aeglus, stop advertising your blog. People are to lazy to click and could learn a lot from you.

If you walk down the street looking like this...its going to go down well IMO. The rest of the population are not worried about obscure brands or internet fashion trends, and to most people you look very stylish. The bitches will definitley dig this kind of look

If you stay around here your tastes will change slightly I expect. What are the shoes?

lol, this.

It isn't bad, but it is still a bit hypebeast for my taste. Ditch the scarf (its relative thickness contrasts the sleeve roll), maybe switch out the shirt for another solid and add a jacket. The shoes aren't a bad start, but you should probably still check out the sneaker threads (oh yeah, do something with the ends of the laces).

You're missing the point. With the shades, scarf, loose(r) jeans, and poor sneaker tuck, Alexlude looks like typical KW. Seriously douchy, in all honesty. Looks like someone trying way too hard to look like a badass.

Did you bother reading my post? I addressed everything else, he was told to toss the glasses when they are just Wayfarers. When you have no hair, a large band of plastic on your face is pretty hard to miss, regardless of the style.

Yeah, I did. Sorry, my post was more of a general comment on how douchey his get-up looks than an attack on anything you said. Poorly worded on my part.

Sunglasses + scarf = annoying? You realize the sun still rises in the cold, right?

Nice cuffs; I aspire everyday for those cuffs. And I like the silhouette, the fit is very good.
