Wore it with a navy nn07 short shorts, and brown Ferragamo loafers.

Hate when anyone non-military does the tie tuck, it looks marsupialed.

Yup! trying to figure out how to wear them, since I never want to take them off my body. Actually, I took a pic without the knit over it, just to show how it fits - I think they look pretty rad, should have posted it

Right now, working as an environmental consultant. I didn't wear that top to work, since I don't know how sheer knits would be received, but it's a pretty laid-back work space (most of the looks I post here are work-looks, except for the obviously deranged ones - i.e. haven't worn gold foil shoes yet, waiting for holiday party). I'm thinking people are going to be a little weirded out by what I wear casually (see-thru tanks and bondage sneaks? NOT CHINOS AND A BUTTON DOWN?!!??!!?!?) And thanks for the compliment, definitely feeling pretty good about what I wear these days! I was out with some "normal" mid-twenty year olds that I didn't know (jeans/polo/flip flops) and no one even batted an eyelid, I was surprised. Although some dude grabbed my crotch while I was dancing with a girl

This is interesting, I didn't even think of it as a dick flap - the shirt is cut fairly straight across the hem, so when you're standing straight, it's just a raw hemline running all the way around. I think it might only look like a flap because my hands are in my pockets. Anyway, I don't think it's perfect - I dislike the henley-style top over the u-neck, and I also don't like that the knit's edge is finished, not raw - it makes it bunch up a little funny. I enjoyed the colors though; drapey without a hint of black. Genuine interest; what didn't you like about the proportions?

I like everything but the henley, which I think is just in an unfortunate colour in that it looks like a poor man's shirt from yesteryear. If it was a bit richer of a brown or perhaps a bit lighter or more bluish then I'd be all for it. But as I said, I do like the bottom half a lot, great sneaks and those sweat pants are awesome.

I think learning how to dress for one's body type is infinitely more important. There's only so much you can do to change the way your built without dedicating exhorbitant amounts of time and energy into working out. Then again, there's always surgery.

Here's the culprit in question.

Hate to say it but I agree; indeed looks like an easter egg.

I like most of your fits but those jeans/pants are not doing it for me in that colour. Where did you cop that great henley?
