The What Are You Wearing Today (WAYWT) Discussion Thread, Part II

[nahneun]

Okay, is this supposed to be “good”?

You are obviously not short or fat, but the cut / proportions of the top and bottom push you in that direction. I know: I look short. But I am short. Also, I really cannot see how one can think my last fit makes me look wider / stockier without thinking yours is much worse in that regard. It’s not like I’m any thinner than you.

To be more specifically constructive:

1. The shirt is too tight. You can see it bunching around the shoulder and chest. Combined with what is likely a too-short front balance, this makes your gut show more than it needs too. The worst is in the photo of you walking toward the camera. It could also stand to be a bit longer—would mitigate impression that it’s a size too small on your frame.

2. There is too much width everywhere. I get that oversized is on purpose, but the fit lacks either the impression of movement / flow or a change-up in volumes to make it interesting and successful. For example, the shirt does not have a pleasing drape (see above: could be fit to blame, but also the fabric). The sleeves appear to rigidly stick out to the sides, rather than flow downward with your arms. The pants aren’t as bad in this respect, but the fabric doesn’t flow / drape as nicely as one would want. See your walking photo. The pants chunk into two rigid, blocky segments above and below your knees. That’s not good. You should see more vertical draping and a smoother, more streamlined silhouette. Fabric and make (not cut) are likely to blame.

3. If we’re going to judge against context: the whole look is too shabby and grubby relative to your surroundings. It appears as if you rolled out of bed wearing this from the day before. The poor fit and drape of the top is a main culprit. But also: the sh!t brown color of the pants. There are sophisticated / urban ways to do an earthy tone. This is farmer.

Assuming I were stuck with these clothes, I’d attempt a fix by tucking in the shirt and letting it billow as much as it will (though it may be too tight for this). Would hopefully restore your waist and make your stomach less prominent, while making the fit’s play on volume more dynamic.

Swd isnt mc sir and this is all wrong anyway

Also its very clueless of you use to use farmer derogatorily when sfers literally call themselves style farmers

If you were a troll this would be an A+ post but alas we know you are in earnest

I think Foo and Fuuma should team up and critique fits daily. I’m sure Fok will appreciate the extra eyes on the site

We can call it the Fuuuuoooook you critique hour or something. Am I on to something here??

What exactly did I say that is MC versus SWD? Does a shirt that bunches up because it’s too tight become a stylistic choice instead of a mistake depending on the sub-forum?

My criticisms are all on same grounds as the criticisms I’ve received here. I did not insert any MC-specific principles.

Seems like you’re just impulsively defending an insider.

Victim complex? I’m just responding directly to whatever you’re saying. Maybe that’s my mistake…

This thread only needs some more trolling from @bobby jonathan and some specific menswear dad jokes from @dieworkwear and it easily would become a forums favorite of mine!

On the far left: short, stocky, ill-proportioned, shirt too long, etc.

Other two: none of those things at all.
