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

[nahneun]

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

I think the only things that have changed are that i have more jewelry and less hair now!

you’re not standing out with that fit anymore than the guys you’re calling out, and maybe that’s your intention, but I do think you should size up on the shirt. You’re a smaller guy with very little shape on your torso, so why emphasize that?

I think you hit the nail on the head as to why the foofit doesn't work well. If he was broad shouldered with a big chest like The Rock/Dwayne Johnson, then the skinny shirt with loose sweat pants would feel visually balanced. Unfortunately, foo is more like a stick of ChapStick shaped and like you said, his choice of shirt isn't flattering to his body.

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 think this works great as is, minus the boots, but it sounds like you’ve already got that figured out. beat up white sneakers or loafers would be my first pick

You think I went out into the city wearing clothes I paid money for—just to troll you guys?

Considering the alternative, I reeeeeeaaaally hope so man

 

[WBaker]

Are those the Nonnative by Officine Generale side zip boots from a while back? Man, I still kick myself for not having bought a pair then.

Yes! I had a grey pair that were really hard to work into fits, then a few months ago these popped up for cheap on yahoo Japan. Been into them since the old Synthese fits.

It seems people these days think anything that isn't agreeable to them is "trolling". The term gets thrown around too casually.

 

[nevergreen]

[hendrix]

Please don’t.

This is a bit of a sad comment, Foo.

This is not some weird kinda competition for me. I like clothes, which is the whole point of this forum.

If you're gonna turn this thread into some weird shaming mission because of your own insecurities then I guess you win. I've no intention in partaking in any of that bullshit.

If you want to post and talk about clothes I'm always down for that, anything else and I will get bored and sign out.

Talking about clothes with Foo is not even that fun to begin with because his approach to clothing has always been to reduce aspects of clothes down to some sort of pseudoscientific drivel that conforms to his (and no one else’s) worldview and use that to calculate the best possible or most ideal outfit in a given scenario, or to alternatively be used as an “objective” and “irrefutable” argument as to why someone else’s outfit is bad. It’s such a drab and dull way to look at clothing.

You know what, looking back, you’ve been on the much more constructive / respectful side of things. I apologize. My post was ill-spirited and reflected my annoyance and frustration with others, not you. I should do a better job of tracking who is saying what and, regardless, I should avoid eye-for-an-eye impulses.

So, again, I really do sincerely apologize.
