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

[FlyingMonkey]

We could argue about what's the 'same' color or colour family all day, and we'd never be able to agree 100%. In Japan, for example, the 'go' traffic light and the sky are the same colour (青, 'ao', which is most often translated as 'blue', but it isn't really at all, it's a range of the visible spectrum that includes most of what English speakers define as blue and a lot of what we call green). And funnily enough it is also found in words that mean young or inexperienced (i.e. metaphors which would use 'green' in English).

The boundaries of colours are not just 'natural'. They change with individuals, culture and history - this piece on the ancient Greek conception of colour is one of my favourites: https://aeon.co/essays/can-we-hope-to-understand-how-the-greeks-saw-their-world

Point well taken.

Side note: this is also one of my favorite pieces. Cheers

Never thought I’d be wearing this lopapeysa sweater that I bought in Iceland before Thanksgiving—certainly not here in North Carolina, but we are at 28°F/-2°C right now.

No I think it’s a combo of lighting/my **** photo skills. I’ll try to take a pic in natural light with them sometime on a different fit.

They look that way to me too on screen. Just not in person. :/

Anyway, here’s an outfit repeat. View attachment 1708845

M’howdy.

I really like heavy wool vests for the practical benefits—thermoregulation, comfort, low bulk—but I don't feel comfortable with them stylistically yet. I recently picked up this Epaulete tweed vest to experiment with.

I also really need to get outside for better lighting.
