ive never gotten the love for kixselfs fits. a lot of stuff that fits badly/makes him look ridiculously disproportionate, and a lot of flavor of the month fashion trends produce by random streetwear brands.Originally Posted by Teger
im also not a fan of the kind of incestual relationship between some of the fashion blogs/brands and i think his stuff represents that. hard to remain objective when you're selling ****..
+1 million. great post. looks like that college education is paying off ben.

So a TB skirt or yellow balmain jeans are natural and not contrived and less costumey......
christ what are you smoking??!?
simple answer, yes, putting on a pair of jeans that has absolutely no color cohesion with anything else you are wearing is more natural and less contrived/costumey than a person that color matches every single piece of their outfit and stuffs newspapers into their backpack.

One of your better posts in awhile.Originally Posted by Razele
This is a big sticking point for me, IMO ACL is the worst with those silly oxfords.
i think hyrcollective/inventory is a pretty huge joke
half the **** they hype is stuff produced by friends of the writers (hello 3sixteen) or stuff they're literally trying to sell
objectivity is a cornerstone of journalism which pretty much all these ****** blogs lack.
also copy editing...

*Talks about Farinelli's*Originally Posted by bluemagic
1. i was always honest when I worked at farinelli's, especially when discussing clothing I liked/dislike. even though we sold brands like nico or apolis I would frequently trash them 2. farinelli's is a clothing store, something inherently biased. inventory is a magazine/blog that is ostensibly impartial.
Funny how all the people who think kixslf looks more "natural" (whatever that means) lean toward workwear/Americana themselves, while the people who think Socal looks more "natural" also adhere to various high-end designer aesthetics.
And by funny, I mean completely unsurprising.
I'm starting to see why this forum is so fun to troll.

thank you I'm not saying kix looks bad, it just seems like he puts too much effort into constructing his fits and more often than not, makes the fit less appealing.

i own a lot of workwear clothing and i don't think kixself has ever looked good. he's just another streetwear/skater kid who has realized you have to stop wearing brightly colored sneakers and hoodies in your 20s and has hopped into the workwear band wagon.
also he's a good example of how great photography is 99.99% of a fit pic.

For crying out loud, they both look great (Socal's swag, kix's attention to detail). Or they both look like **** (Socal's gheyness, kix's contrivedness/baggy fit).
Man, every time i see that otter picture i think the reason he blurred out his kids' faces is not to protect their identities, but to not let us see that they're crying with pain cos daddy is squeezing their hands' tight so someone on the forum might compliment him.
no hate.

its all about creating an illusion
i have an acquaintance who after bulking up looked literally like a fuckin square..he was nearly 200 lbs
solution: i got him down to 168lbs (7% bf) , and concentrated on keeping his waist,especially his hips very lean, as this created an illusion of a somewhat aesthetically pleasing physique
its all about acquiring a desirable shoulder/chest/waist/hips/thigh/calves ratio

i imagine that kixself is the type of dude who goes to clothing stores and tries to impress the SAs/show how much more he knows about the type of **** they sell ("uh, I think this is actually selvage denim") while socal just hangs out and smokes weed w/ you outside your shop
