ils thread for general menswear and men's clothing ish

lol yes it definitely had a blue bottle xp

funny i don't know anybody in social circle who wears perfume or cologne anymore. people wore that shit like crazy in high school though. ck be was my favorite as a 16 year old.

*my social circle

Terrycloth is literally terrible, it's a "summer" fabric heavier than your average fall coat. Believe me, I've been trying to find more occasions to wear my terrycloth dress for years.

And the bottle had like a raised flag indent in it, right? Totally picturing it now. xp

Yeah I feel like today I almost never smell cologne on anyone, to the point that when I do it's nauseating. I don't know if it went out of style or I'm just not 14 anymore.

yea i think it was a round cylindrical thing with a silver cap xp

yes! i find totally find it nauseating, it's gross

when i was changing today in the gym locker room i inhaled a great mouthful of some dude's cologne and it literally coated my fucking mouth. i was tasting it. it was like i had opened up and someone just blasted bugspray right on my tongue. so rude!

hey so i just wanted to post this once since i have begun selling from my collection of vintage neckties on etsy, i hardly wear ties as often as i once did but i have some nice ones up & more going up soon. not tryna spam but thats whats up with me in the menswear front these days

Your item descriptions are great!

ties r cool

yea i think so

love that red/blue 50s plaid

on the personal style front i am getting more into ~sportswear~ such as this vintage rugby i thrifted on saturday & proceeded to wear all weekend

feeling it

ties kinda remind me of sneakers in that their parameters are quite constrained allowing for all sorts wild design w/in that, also kinda comfort fashion for men in that theyre understandable and kinda quantifiable as opposed to the wider anything goes world of fashion

99% of men's fashion is like that though

I'm wearing crazy socks today

Pretty sure I had a rugby shirt like that in one of my senior pictures circa fall of 1991.

nah like pants shirt suits etc basically everything have much less clearly defined forms, graphic tees you cld put in there tho

so i pretty much do not wear "skinny" or "slim-fit" pants but i thought maybe i'd try them, thinking i might look a little more refined. i ordered some dark chinos and corduroys and i don't know, i feel like they really did not look good on me at all. i'm really skinny, pretty much as a skinny as a 5'7" dude comes, and i feel like they just looked really fucking weird on me. maybe i'm used to more relaxed or loose fitting pants (not necessarily baggy but definitely not slim) and they just seemed like a shock, but couldn't bring myself to keep them.

every single pair of pants in the world is cut differently so i mean don't give up on slim fit as a concept

ties come in different widths and lengths and fabrics and tippings

I kinda half suspect that none of these shirts/sweaters are actually cool at all and elmo just looks cool in everything.

marcos ime there's usually a difference between "slim" and "skinny" -- "slim" often just means "fits nicely, not baggy, more tailored look" whereas skinny = clings to your legs. This will vary some -- slim in a major brand like Levi's is probably going to be less slim than slim from some fashion brand that already makes tailored-looking stuff to begin with.

Hee hee

yeah, not sure if it's just where i live but rugby sweaters would be counted as EXTREMELY norm (not even normcore) in my neck of the woods. Still looks cool on him though.

give me some ideas on how to blow a couple hundred in Nordstrom gift cards y'all

i'm not a huge fan of a lot of what nordstrom sells. put a dent in the price of a samuelsohn suit maybe?

nordstrom's has a pretty good shoe selection iirc, if you need kicks or dress shoes

http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/a-p-c-new-standard-slim-straight-leg-selvedge-jeans-indigo/3262070

Nordstrom's 'trim fit' dress shirt fits my body perfectly

u shd by dan a shirt

dan should buy me a shirt

someone buy me a shirt

let's all do a shirt exchange

man, they have one samuelsohn suit, it's really nice, but no short jacket size and it's $1100.

sell them on ebay

Grow taller

think positive

Enshorten the jacket

o gosh
