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

[MGoCrimson]

@MGoCrimson

Thank you very much for your feedback, and I can certainly see your point. To offer some explanation (and, I hope, not to deflect), the coat is mid weight waxed cotton and lighter than I think it appears in the photo. Despite the snow accumulation, the temperature had actually jumped to almost 50F.

With that said, I can understand your criticism. Is there anything you would suggest to soften the incongruity? I’m thinking maybe a mid layer jacket and/or swapping the cotton trousers for wool ones.

I admit I didn’t zoom in to see the thin outer shell of the duffel but waxed cotton is, to me, an odd design choice for a traditional coat historically constructed of thick weatherproof wool or at times a hefty cotton. To be honest I don’t know what to do with that. Maybe someone else can chime in.

Yes, I have found it somewhat difficult to work into outfits for that reason (all of my duffel inspo uses thick wool coats) but I like the piece a lot and will keep trying to make it work well. Thank you again for the feedback!

It’s a bit like brunello cucinelli but super slick

68 degrees is t-shirt and light jacket for the evening weather. how do you not sweat to death in a turtleneck?!

I’m pretty much freezing at 68 haha. I guess it just a lifetime of being in humid 98 degree weather and finding it really nice. What I’m saying is, I’m pretty much like the Jamaican bobsled team in Cool Runnings

I pined over these Trickers for months and now that I have them I feel a solid meh. I thought they were gonna be a bit lighter in tone. I dunno perhaps I’m being a bit picky and grumpy on account of being stuck in the house the last two weeks on account of a URTI that’s morphed into pneumonia...

@Alexidb - I find shoes of that color to be pretty difficult to wear. They give off more of an orange/yellow vibe IRL rather than the light brown you would hope for.
