fall fashion 2011

also idk what you have xp'd but the brand 'surf nyc' is kinda terrible? but i really like the name 'surf nyc'

huh

opinions, ive got em

have been seeing a lot tees with contrast pockets, that's cool i guess

i guess pocket tees confuse me a little, because the pocket is not practical at all and practicality is a value that pockets usually express in a garment?? idk.

they are only practical if they have a protector

but if pockets are gonna be a thing for a while we may as well reinvent the pocket protector while we're at it

we can use ~repurposed deadstock materials~ and have ~hand crafted quality~

we can make ~a million blog dollars~

i use my pocket for a lil notebook sometimes

but cmon its the fall fashion thread why are we talking about practicality

i suppose the practical purpose of the pocket tee is to add a lil bit of flair w/out having to put a huge skull tattoo print on the ass part

fashion sucks imo

i keep my current gen white iphone in the front pocket of my pocket tees

pocket tees are great at covering up one giant nipple
you can use your messenger bag strap to shield the other one

otherwise why have a pocket on the front of your tshirt is all i'm saying

tbrr i think man-boobs tend to prohibit the use and appreciation of tee pockets ;_;

i mean my manboobs are relatively small and pert but still there they are :\

^^ i collect these so it's not so much a fall staple as a year-round staple for me but i wanted to post my swag (not that kind of swag)

is there an "ebay / secondhand swag" thread on i love style? sort of a bragging thread for cheap scores?

start one!

i like it!

dar1a g would own that thread!

admittedly i am not in love with the persistent no-break / 2 in. cuff trend that is STILL going on but otherwise the lookbook is major fall fashion boners, for me anyway

yeah roll the cuff down and that outfit is A+

fashuns!!

all fair isle everything

<3 those but what would you ever wear them with

NOOOOOOOOOOOO

shetland is better

you would wear them with straight leg pants so that they peek out

i think they would look good with like, olive green officer pants, a white shirt and a grey cable-knit cardigan. or like, very dark jeans and a big fuzzy sweater.

like fair isle can be very nice, but i think plain shetland will look better longer and doesn't scream *trend*

anyway that's my plan for the season, on the lookout for something like this that is lasting quality but is not egregious expensive (under $250?). i think i could go land's end or ll bean for under $100 but i'm not convinced that stuffs not made in sweatshops. would be great to find a vintage piece but wool doesn't do so good in california.

oops that's the hurling sweater not the shetland, but there's a shetland crewneck in the mix too

this might actually be my best option, though it is more than i can really spend right now: http://jpressonline.com/sweaters_shaggy_dog_detail.php?id=PLAINM727NAV

i think i might get a cap

what kind of cap

like a beanie or a ballcap?

will you wear the cap on top of the tophat or

a ballcap

fair isle top hat

to be worn with my top hat yes

You guys are all so preppy. I approve.

The 2-in cuff is so jodhpur like, I dislike.

unrelated but i am concerned about the cuffs on that shaggy dogg sweater

is it okay to have cuffs on a sweater? is it cool? is it ugly? i ask because all of mine don't and i think all of my mom's do.

All my sweaters have cuffs because my arms are short and I push my sleeves up. Not sure what the official line is, but I think cuffs are a sign of quality b/c they show that slightly more material was used than absolutely bare-minimum necessary.

i have a gigantic head so i cannot wear most hats, i usually go for a chunky knit hat when absolutely needed but usually i go hatless and suffer

aha that makes sense laurel. i should have known j crew was too cheap to make these sleeves longer.

the ribbed cuff is nice i think

but that's not usually folded-back is it? i meant a folded cuff, like a pant cuff.

i think that really depends on the length of your arm and whether you like to show yr shirt cuffs. as long as the sleeve is relatively trim it should look fine if you fold it back.

bought this aforementioned sweater:

thrifted sweaters have been my thing for something like 12 years now and I always roll them sleeves

i bought the norse projects shirt jacket max posted, sorry max you can't buy it now.

im focusing on my cap project right now
