WAYWRN: Classic Menswear, Casual Style

[TauKappaEpsilon]

This is MC? I guess the tie just looks skinnier in the picture. And I think the fit is on point, I think I just nitpick at stupid things like the wrinkly jeans.

You're right about one thing, the V is too wide. Tie being too skinny is your imagination. It's a 3" tie which is perfectly fine for such a slim fit. Jeans are fine to be wrinkly, this is not MC. And I am going to a funeral- my students are probably going to get creamed at this debate tournament.

We're having a conversation about wrinkly jeans? wtf, guys- you mean what normal jeans do?

Hey, I'm on board with Mr K. not liking the ridges and creases of normal denim, but that's an idiosyncrasy; the fits are good so he's allowed to be eccentric.

Don't go trying to make it normal.

Eason, I love you man, but fearing all the flaming I'm likely about to get, I must say this look is borderline ridiculous, particularly with the faux-hawk.

You know, when I take the hot iron to my jeans, I ask myself the same question as I do when I bleach my vacuum cleaner...

Spoiler: WWAMD?

Fair play, but It isn't a faux-hawk, it's just a mohawk at this point.

Not sure wearing your hair like that works for you.

When you guys say the tie is too skinny you mean the knot is too small.

L'Orange.

This defines casual. The bright colors are used with great effect. Someone posted that the sweater looks baggy. I don't think so. It looks comfortable. Very much liking the scarf.

This is cool...

Tell me about the sweater KG...
And I reckon you're a Smiths fan? Keats and Yeats are on your side, but you lose....

It's an Engineered Garments four-pocket cardi. Picked it up last year from Blake when they were having a crazy sale.

I wouldn't know a Smiths tune if it hit me over the head. The '80s were my least-favorite decade for music. The early '70s, on the other hand...

I didn't like this much when I first looked at it, but it's growing on me. Not a fan of the hair, but I guess I'm not one to talk, as I get chastised on a regular basis around here for my long hair.

Particularly fond of the shoes (boots?).

Thanks, they're Lodger Hamiltons.

I don't get what's so wrong about Eason's latest pic. Apart from the neck opening of hte sweater being too large, it all looks pretty good to me, striking a nice balance between the kind of casual fits found here and the ones in SW&D. The sweater breaks up the formality of the shirt/tie, allowing a reasonable segue into the jeans and hte silhouette is nice and tidy. I could do without the exposed belt buckle thing, but as long as it's just for the photo, then I like this look a fair bit.

 

[james_timothy]

No tie without a jacket.

One's life shouldn't be bounded by rules, but that's a pretty good one.

Otherwise I agree with you, Holdfast.
