Any examples?

Eh, put your fists down. I'm not thinking of a particular poster or your favorite brand, more the cool-looking jackets I've tried on that turned out to be completely unflattering. On me. I think Binker wears his well. Interesting point about the fabrics, too.

You sure it's the jackets that are wimpifying and not just the skinny ass people wearing them?

Deserves better photos. Nice use of colour and the jacket looks particularly good.

Good to see a lurker post. I think the top needs slimmer jeans or the jeans need a slightly less slim top.

I prefer the T to the jeans, but they work pretty well together.

I like all the individual pieces, but I'm not sure they work together. I think the sweater needs looser trousers and a different shirt.

Can't really add much - I don't mind the loose jeans on their own, but not with the slim top.

Not too sure what is going on with the weird shirt bulge at the back. Anyway first post. Glad to be here.
Take a photo outside or at least in better light and we might be able to see enough to give useful feedback.

I know the problem with self portraits - I either look like an imbecile or seriously pissed off (I normally stick with the latter)...

Looks good, although I'm not sure about the slightly capped sleeve the Patagonia seems to have.

I did feel very colourful...was trying my best to appeal to the gods of spring for some decent weather

Colour is fairly accurate in the photo, it's the navy whipcord bedford from AW10. Currently relegated to my iphone for pictures so I'm sure online sources can do much better than I can.

Thanks, I do love green pants. Bit of a staple currently.

Cool, I have plenty of EG in the wardrobe so look forward to trying to change your views on it

Thanks man. Yeh its the navy whipcord bedford from AW10

When I first got them they were nut crushers for sure. First time I'd worn them for a while last night and they felt much better. Been trying to get my body fat down for summer and haven't been doing much leg work as the rugby season is nearly over...so probably attributed to that. Leg opening isn't huge but isn't that tight either, chunky shoes like these certainly help.

Everything about that is bad. The shoes you may be able to use. Everything else should be burned. Don't bother hemming the jeans, the wash is awful and they don't fit - just get rid of them. The cardigan is weirdly low-cut and sags, looking terrible as a result, especially over a white crewneck. While it is difficult to tell just HOW badly it fits because of the angle, the jacket doesn't fit you either; too big in just about every proportion. Reboot again.

yea, ar is right.

if you like the cut of the jean, i would suggest bulkier boots/shoes. the desert boots look slim under that cut. or you can slim down the on the jeans. either way go with a darker wash.

jacket looks formal for the outfit.

keep posting tho, nobody knows your style yet, so its tough to recommend stuff.

He doesn't "like the cut of the jean", just doesn't know better, is trying to look like a j.lindeberg catalogue; jeans + black boots + dark blazer over cardi. It's just done badly. The Eason does it. Look to The Eason for guidance.

Not strictly WAYTT, but I got this knit which used to belong to my dad. Was a bit too big for me, so i shrinked in the washing machine and now it fits almost perfect. What do you think?
