shirt is dries, tried to stand sideways and capture the detailing but it didn't work out

ignore the brand and style for a second. IMO that shirt color just washes you out, it's too close to your skin tone.
plus your belt might be too long as well.
and the rise on those jeans is giving you serious mooseknuckle, plus I'm all for some stack, but those look pretty sloppy (new jeans? wide hem?)

thanks boys!



what happened? Lol … i broke up with my boyfriend, basically made him move out the apt we shared, took my car back and started driving the 2 miles each way to work instead of walking (before the ex was taking my car daily to work) … soooo now i wear whatever i want because i don't have to deal with the hike every day (and him haha). these boots, i found on ebay, couldn't resist!


and then for all of you (Ivwri, Synthese, snake…) going back and forth on the leg opening and the black-ness or non-blackness of my boots and the fact that it's not Rick on Rick on Rick …

leg opening, i really liked with the tights, i like the fact that you can visibly see that my leg is smaller than it and doesn't look like i've got major cankles or really fat calves or something awkward that i'm sure would be mocked if they fit poorly haha. i also quite enjoy that they're not black, thanks and then, I own one Rick tank, those boots (now) and a DrkShdw sweatshirt. Otherwise my closet is such a varied mix, that I'm looking forward to bringing more of an edgy clean line to the rest of my wardrobe. especially because i live literally 2 blocks from the beach, the all Rick look would just be.. awkward. (Side note, he did make these beautifully ethereal dresses in one of his more recent collections, those I could defffffinitely wear).

Cropped pants? No way … tried those last night, the ones I have (cute IRL) looked terrible with the Rick boots.. wrong style altogether I think. Denim and other non-legging pants, I'll have to play around with… not all of my pants I think are skinny enough at the leg opening that they'd work perfectly with these. Although, I do have a grungy dress + sweater in mind that I'll prob wear and post soon.

Thanks for all the feedback!

Boring fit today (cardi is green btw):



@Jet, yes I have a sock fetish (socks are actually crimson)

Alright, I shall now critique your threads.

You have gone clean, simple and trendy today. Good for you. This look can be seen nearly everywhere this season, in many magazines, many websites, and at many street corners in cities on both sides of the Pond.

Fortunately, you cut a clean figure and you have a lot else going for you--so the ubiquitous simple works for you. But you have to be careful with simple--for simple demands near perfection. You can be a little off with complicated and no one will notice...be a hairs' width off with simple, and it'll stick out like a sore thumb.

For this look to work, the colors have to really work together, and it all comes down to fit with the cardi. Yes, you can make the case that the cardi is serving all sorts of purposes this season, from underwear to overcoat. But for your look it must fit perfectly--read, snugly and cleanly--over a tee. Yours is too loose. Notice your shoulders and the sagging fabric under your shoulders and arms. They stick out like a sore thumb from the clean classic lines that this kind of simplicity insists on. Button it up, and it would look baggier, and even worse.

Your belt, jeans and suede ankleboots go well together. With a fitted cardi, you could have gone with slightly less fitted jeans to preserve the lines, but it's not a horrendous error.

A white t-shirt and a black or navy or even grey cardi would have been much better. Much simpler.

And indulge every whim with socks and underwear, that's no sin. He is a true Hedonistic gentleman, he who indulges in cashmere socks hidden under his knee-high boots. And with a double dip looming, we must all indulge whilst we can.

Im pointing out the obvious here, but man NOBD does MC really well.
I agree with soe of the critiques of the Synthese fit. I dont think the lapels would be too big except they are matched with such slim pants. Makes em look to wide.
The main thing that jumped out at me though was the boots. Dont like the color or overall look with that outfit.
Jacket looks like a nice piece.
