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

[Oldsrocket27]

whenever I see 100+ new posts in this thread I am always prepared for a trap.

At this point I've come to assume that it means that there's a bunch of blocked garbage (read: Mr. Moo) with the occasional fit mixed in that most people are ignoring anyway because they're too caught up in yet another shitshow.

I like it better with gats (obvs)

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Hair looks cool, that cardigan is the best one you have, no idea why you keep wearing t-shirts that short, pants are nice and lastly, Docs look better than GATs (though I don't mind the GATs much in this fit, looks fine too)

The problem with those gats is the gum sole looks terrible with the black. You should paint them.

I usually button the cardigan and I hate it when the tee pokes out

 

[nicelynice]

Hair looks good
So do the GATs

In re. the Gray caridgan. I think it is a little bit of a challenging fit, yes.

It's a very chunky knit, but also a trim and short cut. Seems as if chunky and oversized more frequently go together. I discussed getting the next size up with Greg at NMWA, our friendly Gray stockist, but he recommended against it, which I think was sound advice.

I do like it, so I will try to post a few photos buttoned differently and also worn open. It may ultimately not be the most flattering fit for me. But it sure is cozy.

I think it could use a little more length. If you agree, I would recommend stretching the length a little. You simply need to soak it fully in cold water. Then put it on a surface/table, laying flat and buttoned. With your hands/palms, gently stretch the knit all along the length of the cardigan front and back (and sleeves if you'd like). Go easy because you could stretch it quite a bit doing that. Then let it dry flat. I do that on a regular basis. That's the magic of wool knits.

Both trousers look nice, what are they?

 

[Francks]

First one is Ann d
Second is Schneider
Last is Ervell

Is that the grey trousers NMWA had from this season (the SS)?

 

[Francks]

Nope it is the black with grey threads only on one side of each leg. Hard to explain.
It was from this winter

I'd add that you have to be careful to pull downwards only. Otherwise, you can easily get some "bell" at the hem, which is something that very few people want.
