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

[TheFoo]

I’m not sure that I even understand this comment. The proportions of this are not dissimilar to 80’s Armani. I mean, I like the silhouette of really voluminous pants - they remind me of old aikido uniforms, but this is not even that. The proportions are close to classic.

It’s the combination of voluminous pants that taper sharply at the ankle with a top that bellows outward at the torso. Gives a grown man the shape of a toddler in play clothes.

Except that the shirt is pretty square cut and the pants are not voluminous by 2024 standards, nor that tapered by the same standards. I mean, if they were jogger fit pants, maybe? Or maybe if everything were very oversized? It’s just a bit of a confusing comment to me. I mean, you’re of course entitled to your opinion, but in general, even when I disagree, I get what you’re getting at. “Toddler silhouette?” I squinted and looked sideways and just didn’t really get it.

I am… criticizing folks for confusing brand / vendor credibility for style.

I seriously think you are engaging in projection here, man. One thing that really stands out to me is that you seem to equate $$$$$ with style and that you essentially treat yourself as though you are a mannequin. If you put expensive clothes on your body, then you are stylish, right? Hell, I even remember your old suit fits where your pose literally made you look like a mannequin.

This is baseless extrapolation. I’ve never said or expressed any of these things.

I try to be pretty specific and direct with why I think things—including why I think something looks bad. Money and cost have never figured.

Dude, these clothes are not cheap.

Money and cost have never figured, Foo just happens to own the most expensive/cachet version of every staple in his closet by pure coincidence.

I don’t totally love this
Love the individual pieces in particular the jacket, but sloped shoulders extenuated probably isn’t great aesthetics. Also, looking for help pairing the outfit with diff shoes. The lookbook was styled with white sneakers with a gum sole but I haven’t found a pair I really love.

Sleeves down and up…here I guess I was forcing a Robert Geller look with bomber silhouette.

I like it but I think a different shirt or knit would be better. really like the pants

 

[OccultaVexillum]

Bro, bruv, bro how can you possibly even begin to call Meatys fit “toddler” silhouette when you just posted a fit with too big pants and too small tshirt?! That is exactly what kids wear. You’ve just given you’re own fit the perfect description.

I think that you look the same as you did 10 years ago, but older.

Thanks
I’ll continue looking for a band collar shirt I think.
Also, try the outfit again with jacket buttoned up from to bottom to experiment with the shape around waist and down. I think it might help, that’s how it was originally styled. Right now the white henley is creating a lot of white space in the midsection. May be the case wearing a jacket closed > open. I’ve seen it done successfully I recall in the NMWA thread.
