If youre gonna wear an oversized tee like that, you need wider pants. Also you need to be taller for it to look good (0) sorry bro i cant do oversized for the same reason. makes us look stocky

The dropped shoulder and half sleeve are just doing you absolutely no favors.
This is what it looked like when my kids used to wear my old tees to do finger painting.

I think the biggest problem is the rise of the jeans just looks too short and doesn't work with the proportions of everything else.

You can do big top and skinny bottoms, but those proportions often need a boxy top which usually necessitates either a more cropped tee or to have it tucked in. I can't see that looking good with those jeans.

I don't mind the rise of the jeans or length of the tee. You could also just do a lazy french tuck I suppose to make the tee visually shorter. The whole thing would be easier if you just get a cropped/boxy tee though. I'm all for big top slim pant but I think it's the "short" sleeves going past the elbow that makes you look tiny.

Unwanted advice aside, I love the boots and Foo's fits get discussion going which I think is cool.

What do you guys think of the jeans length? My older skinny jeans all have more stacking.

Wouldn’t wider pants only make me look even stockier?

That said, I conceptually agree that oversized is more challenging when you aren’t both tall and thin. Have made that point earlier. I was just curious to try this out and was surprised at how much I liked it.

Ah come on!

Have tried tucking this in and like the look too. Best with a front tuck only, showing off my big buckle western belt. When I get a chance, will take a pic.

Curious how you can tell the rise of the jeans when the top is covered by the shirt?

Thanks—always happy to take advice. And always happy to encourage discussion, even if I wind up a joke

Yes, French tuck looks good!

Good effort. Is there a particular reason you're attracted to this sector of streetwear?

Asking me? I like streetwear broadly speaking. Resonates with where and how I live. But that said, I most enjoy a more refined take on it. I think Jerry Lorenzo is brilliant.

Celine Drugstore Jodhpur may be my new OneShoe. Buy a dozen pairs?

I just mean, why do the Hedi X LA Brunch vibe instead of actual FOG? Or FOG x Zegna? Is there a particular reason why you're reaching for this aesthetic when there are 10 more that are probably going to be better suited for you? I don't mean to be harsh, but this feels very much like you're trying to keep up with Zuck

I’ve worn Hedi (SL / Celine) for many, many years. He is my favorite standby.

Tossing in some FoG is meant to be organic and additive.

I can’t wear full FoG because oversized-everything does not work on my frame.

Yes. If only 75% of his Celine pieces didn’t say “Celine” on them.
