got a wedding invitation yesterday for a fairly big summer do, and the men's dress code is "party shirts".

yessss

should be fun. got a really nice liberty shirt in the sale a few weeks back, it'll be hard to oust.

jacket, not shirt

sadly i couldn't afford it, even on sale

i... uh... hm.

yknow v i think in the grand scheme it's ok to pass up an aloha parka (?)

that is beautiful.

i want to like it, it has all the right ingredients, but

that print would be terrible as a shirt, but i love it as a parka for some reason

theres this incredible reversible parka at a store down the street from where i live thats a sort of teal color on one side and this great graphic print on the other, its from a brand called minotaur. i keep thinking about buying it but its hard to spend money on jackets when its so hot

that jacket makes me want a capri sun, in the best way

That floral jacket thing is half price in Liberty now if any of you are keen. Bout 150 pounds I think.

my birthday is in three weeks ronan

it was supposed to be a surprise!

what is the brand of the aloha?

the aloha parka is engineered garments

another nice "brooklyn we go hard" one (awful brand name) - considering this for fun shirt dress-coded wedding.

i also quite like this, from same store, bit more something i'd wear under other stuff though. (this is kinda my approach to fun shirts generally.

sorry didn't realise how massive they'd be.

my thoughts exactly before I read your comment on the second one. i like the first one a lot.

i think maybe it's harder for a fun shirt to pull off the full-length sleeves, especially because it's a look associated with more formal wear. the second one could almost be pulled off, but it has an almost multicoloured polystyrene look going on that is texturally off-putting. wld wear w/the right kind of blazer tho.

I prefer long-sleeves for pretty much everything (and you can roll up the sleeves!), only reason I wouldn't wear the second one is that it's tonally quite dark and I know that doesn't suit me - it is very nice though, pretty Liberty-ish.

In any case, "Men of ILX" is a very good name for a shop.

I prefer long sleeves too, but rolling up the sleeves isn't always going to be a good look or option. sometimes the problem is that there's too much material, too much fun. the shorter sleeved fun shirts also tend to be 'cuffed' mid-bicep, which unless you're swole makes for a more apt casual look than you would get from an elbow-rolled long sleeve. imo, also really depends on the shirt, body shape, cut, climate etc. kinda hard not to come off like a pedantic styleforum asshole in this thread. just waiting for elmo et al to swoop.

i saw a man at dinner tonight whose biceps were straining the cuffs of his short sleeve chambray, he was indeed very handsome, then i got dizzy and passed out in my grits

no but i dig short-sleeves for the most part but i wear long sleeves most of the time & cuff when needed. i don't like a lot of fussy epaulets or military details or cuff buttons or what have you, which show up on a lot of dudes s/s button shirts i feel? i feel like white mormon s/s shirt has a distinct 'nasa control room' charm if done well.

i like that first one but probly wouldn't wear it. the 2nd one, the l/s floral there is pretty great. if i wore it i would probably go for the full clown and pair it with a tartan necktie because i'm fuckin classy

haha yes to nasa control room

but also shades of http://www.moviegazetteonline.com/images/Falling.jpg

'brooklyn we go hard' doesn't even make a good acronym

bwgh

sounds like a public radio station

nasa control room otm also 'michael douglas in falling down' charm

i feel like long sleeve shirts of this type that are not legit fun tend to be a bit paul smithy :-(

I know what you mean, a bit Jonathan Ross. But it can be done. Some of the Liberty print shirts are amazing IMO, the detailing is cool and they have a really ancient vintage feel. Got a really nice one in their sale.

post something "paul smithy"

fun or OTT

"itt FUN HATS" is that way -->

i kinda want a pair of fun trousers - can't find one to suit the image in my mind tho, plus most "slim fit" trousers are like clown pants on me so my options are probably limited.

bucket hats nooooooooooooooo

i mean as far as bucket hats go those are pretty nice, i guess? but it's hard to tell be cause it's a damn bucket hat. they make me think of dave matthews band

slightly off topic but like, do any of you even wear hats? in summer i mean? i burn a bit through my hair and so i should, but i really can't find a hat that i don't hate.
