Why does no one seem to realize that Synth's drapey fits are merely a mid-80's skater look? (Not that they're not swell, but still).

Haha, I'll try to find some. I was very young, but it was such a distinct look: two to three T-shirts of varying lengths, a very short black leather jacket, often tied around the waist by the sleeves (making it look, from the front, like drop-crotch pants) -- and sometimes even drop-crotch pants. And then of course the hair: close to one length on top, and shaved around the sides. Synth's leather moto/drapey fits look very close...
The character Bobby from Twin Peaks also came pretty close to this look every now and then...

100 procent agree, except that i think Lanvin > CP with blazers without a doubt. A nice pair of black low-tops with black patent toebox would be perfect in my book.

I dunno, I see Lanvin, CP high-tops get paired with blazer/button-down around here. I don't think the KVAs are any more over-stated than the moon-boots. If anything maybe less given their more neutral colors.Originally Posted by NameBack
the difference is the kvas are quite chunky compared to the others. the color is not the problem. a less structured top would go better, maybe even oversized if you're up for it. if you swap out the sneakers though it would be nice to see the shirt tucked and unbuttoned at the top
As ARW mentioned, it's too low-key/bizcas for the boots to work. Everything's too MC tailored and then you have the KVAs. Yes, the palette works, but a grey blazer (especially one with a ticket pocket!) is too dressy for those high tops. If you're talking about how Raf paired his suits with his velcro highs, it worked because it was a black suit. Fits aren't just about color coordination! Lanvins or CPs would work infinitely better because they are as low-key as the rest of your fit. It is a cohesive look.Originally Posted by nahneun
Try doing the following with the KVA: Black blazer, white tee, Dior jeans. and lose the glasses and facial hair or get something edgier.
boom.
Will give this a try
Just got a black Shipley blazer from pfeury that I really like, needs some tailoring before I can wear it though
As for the Diors -- those might have to wait, due to budgetary concerns. What about some black/dark-grey nudies? Coated, maybe?
