It was a full suit, don't you worry. I just didn't have time to take it of the whole body

I think snake looks fine. It's fun to have a variety of stuff to wear. No shame in mixing it up.


Kelvin- That jacket looks real nice on you. I think it still looks good on that and julius doesn't have to be supertight. Otter is definitely right about the tshirt though. The high crewneck collar with the thick collarribbing isn't doing you any favors. Doesn't have to be a deep uneck or anything like that. Just a looser crewneck with a thinner collar. The hair looks better but i think with that updo kinda thing i'd like it better with much shorter sides

the jacket is a size big on you. the shoulders clearly don't fit, but even so i think the fit looks pretty decent

My hair is always fine when i actually get it cut. The problem is i rarely get it cut. So it looks good for like 2 months, decent/hipster messy for a month then too long for another month before i finally cut it again. It's a fun ride

I dunno. I've seen those ts look good a fair amount. I think part of it is the angle but you're right that being tall and skinny helps or maybe the shirt having a bit more length. I think it still looks fine. Every single thing doesn't have to be an attempt to achieve perfect flattering proportions and whatnot. Not that big a deal. I guess there is probably a balance to achieve. I dunno

The sleeves don't look long though, I think the fits fine on him, it's just not skin tight which tends to be the current trend.

Well, unless you are in great shape (but slim not buff) and have nice proportions like a braidkid, saucemaster, gravitas, etc... it really is huge how big a difference little details in fits make. It's not all about shoulder to shoulder and the pittopit measurements. More subtleties in the fits that can make an average guy look sharp or kinda pudgy. Things harder to put your finger on until you see them/try them on. I definitely notice how powerful small clothing details can make when i'm like 10-15lbs heavier than i am now. At that point i'm still slim enough to look good in clothes, but i have to be a bit more careful. I know you have different goals with the clothes and that's fine. Not really saying one thing is better than the other but just, as 85% of people under the age of 20 say, conversating On a sidenote, kelvin's diors are pretty much perfect. I'm jealous and wish i had a pair now. Good slim but not tight fit, kinda slouchy, subtley faded and a good amount of stacking. My petite standards i like the fit of but aren't quite there. Maybe after more wear and a wash or two

I know it's cliche and i'm biased because i've hung out with him a few times but socal really does look much more normal in that stuff in person and is really cool and non-pretentious about it unlike some other "gothninjas". Actually, i think his balmain x ro looks he has been doing more of lately is actually really really good on him. Really impressed with those dual photos he posted awhile back.

Eason has good proportions but looks more early 2000s "metrosexual" than what most on SF think of in terms of well dressed, sorta stylish but accessible/casual like the braidkid/saucemaster/gravitas stuff (can put future kelvinsense in there as if he was 28 and just naturally filled and had a bit of age in his face he'd definitely be like that). Eason is cool and all and i think he'd agree with what i said. Not really a knock against him despite how sensitive a lot of guys on this forum are about the word "metro" (as i'm sure it's a comment of ignorant friends ragging on them for actually trying on a shirt before buying).

isn't it raglan sleeve anyway so i don't think the shoulder location really works? i like the fit of it alot kelvin, i knew julius leathers would look better with blue jeans, solid.
