I think the cut of the jacket, pocketsquare, color of the gloves and the fact that he is holding a full size umbrella is too formal for the bottom. its workwear forced upon formal. the large cuff on the jeans looks terrible in this scenario. the red of the shoes is different from the pocketsquare and collar. the white shoelaces are also way too informal for everything else. would be much better with properly hemmed jeans and some nicer dress shoes, maybe like brown suede.

pretty sure gs doesn't give a ****. he's an anglophile who knows what he's doing and seems well-versed enough in the rules of that style to have free reign imo.

Bought cheap but really warm thinsulate black wool gloves from an h&m in florida.

Also bought a cheap ugly sweater because i know a friend toyed with the idea of an ugly sweater party (i know not original but it's just an excuse to drink and eat i guess). Kinda looks like that cowichican stuff that some people here are into.

Also, it's creepy as one of the male gilt models looks 100% identical to one of my friends. It's kinda creepy. I better keep him far away from socal







I'm almost ready to actually start buying things again. Can someone please pick some styles/aesthetics for me to focus on as i'm kinda lazy. I'm an Aries if that helps

Good to hear dude, we need your fits back. Maybe try for a SCUBA aesthetic.
