A. WAYWRN: MC Casual Style
Are ocassional wool slacks allowed ?
First of all, I wasn't doing a best of, just collecting all casual shots from last month's WAYWRN. Secondly, this is a different style of dressing. While bright colored pants may seem like trying too hard to you, to me they look interesting. Each person has his own personality and it may be expressed in many ways; at SF we express it partially through our choice of clothes. For example, when I wear red pants, I feel natural and comfortable. Spoo looks great in his colorful trousers, he's having fun and not taking himself too seriously. I prefer that to the conservative business dress. That's not to say I don't like conservative business dress, which focuses on fit and proportions rather than color and texture. It's all very interesting and worth mastering.

A serious thought on this topic: I like colorful trou now and then. I like quirk and self-expression in general. But where the recent MC casual trend loses me is the sheer volume of quirk and self-expression. Bright trou aren't seen as a novelty, or a bit of whimsy to be worn in an appropriate setting. They have become mundane, and now are, as often as not, accessorized with all sorts of additional whimsy. Pastel pants, bright blue drivers or white bals, no socks, a bead bracelet, a bright watchband, a funny hat. The individual items lose their novelty and the overall effect is garish. More bothersome to me, this has become everyday gear, so there's little chance of it looking less garish in situ. In the old days of SF, sometimes I'd see an outfit that looked a bit too much and give it the benefit of the doubt: Maybe his situation is such that will not look out of place. But lately I strain to extend that same courtesy. The recent trend is for outfits are meant to be looked at, a la the getups we like to mock on non-SFers. I'm not necessarily opposed to that, but I don't understand it as everyday wear. Novelty is no longer novel if it's done to death. There has to be some restraint or it collapses into costume and kitsch.

I somewhat agree with Pvrhye. I think that on the boards, the members have more of an idea of what they're doing. Out in the wild in my neck of the woods, people who dress over the top are only doing it to get a reaction, or are trying to copy what they saw on TV/movie/GQ. To me, it doesn't look cohesive or comfortable. Also, they flaunt it, which gets on my nerves. Doc is right, it isn't whimsical anymore, and it gives people who dress like that on occasion (and who do it well) a bad name. Carry on.
By the way, this one's my favorite
