ils thread for general menswear and men's clothing ish

rtc how far back do you think normcores antecedents go in east ldn? i feel some people i met were doing the dev haynes thing in like 2011 but it wasnt quite like office drone ca. 1997 or wknddad stuff also all the ldn people i follow on instagram just started doing this like, 6 months ago

not really meant as a challenge just curious, stuff like this fascinates me all out of proportion to how much it matters

stuff like inner/outer shorts, everyone in 1461s, white socks black sandals definitely mean 2010ish. the jean jacket is p unacceptable tho.

me and lamp ahead of the normcore game

just be really handsome and wear only the t-shirts you get for free from yr work + levis 501s - mensstyle 2013

The trick is to wear jeans which make your asses most flattering to gay men.

"fuck it, I'm just gonna wear black jeans and black tees" is not a normcore move

Norm core is about fashion minimalism hurting

that kind of fashion minimalism is timeless and not in the spirit of normcore

There are people who unironically dress like this at my workplace.

They're computer scientists btw.

ya i dont think that girl is really normcore just kinda more a slob

max is all black casual normcore not so sure too edgy man

i am the normcore gatekeeper btw

im wearing sweatpants

max be serious no one is going to think you're a tourist if you walk around soho in all black.

I need a normcore keymaster

you guys are overthinking and underthinking normcore simultaneously

black tee tucked in to black jeans is 100% totally normcore. untucked? thats a different story

I like how quickly a consensus is forming around normcore based on one NYMag article and two days of posting.

hey you didn't say you were tucking the shirt in. normcore non plus ultra.

yeah jeez plz provide tucking infos up front next time

dude we're off muscle milk now. shit has mercury in it.

I used to only wear sandals and now I only wear hiking boots

Because I can't find my sandals

Also I don't live on the beach anymore, now I can't really get away w/ the sandals and shorts thing

Sandals shorts grav bong

K that was my contribution

otm

My contribution is that one of my professors this sem always wears this thick cableknit, navy, turtleneck fisherman sweater and pipe jeans and White New balances and I really want all of the above

My other contribution is that it seems like you would need the fruit of the loom white socks with grey toes / heel to get past the normcore gatekeeper

Thank you for your time gentlemen

the denim shirt + cap + track pants look is kind of "celebrity trying to blend into the crowd"

Also I want to excerpt this sentence from the article and just put it here

The Internet is where all conversation about normcore seems to converge.

Large only, but it seems like a tight-cut jacket and I wouldn't mind it being a little loose

Price is good. My only other thing is that I wonder if it looks a little "boyish" or something - can't put my finger on why.

i dig it

would rock

haha, i know what you mean. i don't think that would come to mind if i saw it on an adult, but i could totally see my 18-month old son rocking a mini version of that coat.

not necessarily a bad thing, there are a fair amount of his clothes that i would legitimately love to have an adult version of

a little wes anderson?

Anyone know anything about these guys or other orgs like them? I live in a very rural area but still want to look good. I need virtual access to fine men's fashions

internet

Oh hey remember when I asked about those Uniqlo socks? I bought a few pairs and I really like them. Surprising quality for the cost, will buy those cheap socks again.
