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

[sugarbutch]

Love the cut. The dropped crotch combined with wide legs is weirdly flattering and elegant. I like that instead of elastic hems that taper at the ankle, the bottoms are wide and straight cut, lending to a dramatic stacking effect.

The fabric is a really nice, heavy boiled wool. Beyond the refined feel and texture, the material allows the pants to maintain some structure while also draping really nicely. The folds and waves in the fabric are big and soft. It is obvious these are not actual sweatpants but rather sweatpant-inspired pants.

I can appreciate the sensory appeal of the fabric and, I guess, the concept. I don't think that these achieve stacking because of the big and soft folds. That quality instead makes them just look too long IMO. Flattering is in the eye of beholder, of course, but in this case, I get the impression of someone who has taken off the top half of a costume rather than a pleasing contrast of volumes.

Guys, respectfully, can I ask that we not make fun of things that people can't change about themselves?

It's really frustrating bc it takes away credibility from the myriad of other subjects that you can shitpost about and meme.

(this isn't a comment about the post above this one, but just about how feedback is given here in general)

Lemaire / Casablanca / Clarks

what if one just feels like looking like this one day

and like this the next?

CM principles take emotion out of it and suck the life out of clothing into a robotic, T-shaped husk.

I don’t necessarily agree with this statement. CM does have some tried & true guidelines that have been established, but there is a lot of room within those for experimentation & self-expression. I also think a lot of the fashion designers I admire take plenty of style queues from classic examples & have an admiration for traditional tailoring.

I won't speak for @FlyingHorker, but for me, it's not CM itself. I think there's a lot of flexibility as you say. However, when someone does experiment and paints outside the lines, the tone of the criticism can be discouraging.

I would expect SW&D to be much more flexible, however we’ve seen what happens if someone wears skinny jeans in 2024!
