ils thread for general menswear and men's clothing ish

By sometimes anyway i mean every day

two collars is a def look but can u pull it off bro? (difficulty: intermediate)

two distinct fabrics/textures on the shirts is impt in this situation, ideally with the rougher on the outside unless you are going for some collared shirt variant of the 90s waffle-knit with a superchunk t shirt on top

yea i only think it looks weird when i button up the heavier shirt. when it's unbuttoned i don't think of it that much.

this is how you do it

wow where did u find that picture of me

lol

otoh i generally do have a generally aversion to button-down shirts that are unbuttoned. i only make an exception b/c it's a shirt-jacket and jackets can be worn open. i am not a fan of the "relaxed and casual" look of an unbuttoned shirt over a t-shirt that is quite prevalent in media and advertisements to connotate that somebody is "relaxed and casual." occassionally it can work but idk man

i just wear yogurt stained sweatpants to indicate that i am the boss and unpredictable

i wear two collars all the time. dress shirt + shirt jacket is two or three times weekly thing for me.

of course i work in a casual dress environment

i will do button-down collar with a shirt jacket over it to represent the diversity of collar styles and options

Everything I wanted in the Steven alan sale went in the first few hours.

Is it dumb to get jeans a waist size up ( one inch up) and get them tailored?

ive never heard of such a thing but maybe ur a visionary

which ones r u thinking abt getting

lil bit too lo-rise maybe imo

Think you wanna size down with jeans because they'll stretch as you wear?

Otherwise you'll have floppy jeans

floppy jeans is so out

thought they were coming back #normcore

Relaxed fit. Because being relaxed never goes out of style.

I was wondering to myself on the subway today in what year drop-crotch pants will become workwear.

be relaxed... but never floppy --a handsome man

annoying how pants become floppy after a year or two of wear

line/flat drying helps some with that

Goon do you understand those 1-6 t-shirt sizes on the Simon Miller shirts? No idea what that means.

naw u look at simon millers website

There are still some alright button shirts left in my size but nothing I really want to pay $70 or $100 for even on sale.

i bought a suit ~_~

i am wearing wide legged pants right now and i feel especially hip b/c i work downtown and all the young financial dirtbags have discovered too-small-suits and have fully embraced #menswear and i look at them with disdain and i sneer and i whisper get on my level

xp which one, fenton or oliver?

Those looked nice I just couldn't put together a suit in my sizes

they didn't have any long sizes which is mega bullshit

fenton

I just bought my first Steven Alan item - a like-new sweater off ebay. It's great, my favorite sweater now.

I got me some Surface to Air jeans last week on sale on Gilt.

A StA sweater I bought two years ago is one of my favorites. Like this one but blue, and got it at Nordstrom Rack for 90% off, like $35.

I feel this

lol

otm. pre-internet it took oblivious plebs like 10 years to catch on, now it's a more threatening ~5.

slim cut tailored look has prob been around for almost ten now

tho w/in that there have obvs been diff shapes/styles

actually tight t-shirts and highwater pants became cool mid-90s (thinking hardcore/emo scene), was that the influence? although you can trace any trend backwards endlessly if you want to I suppose.

yeah theres always someone out there wearing tite pants

feel like tho yeah emo guys wearing girl jeans was def an influence on skinny jeans then from the more establishment fashion side came the little suits and fitted looks

I always thought skinny suits were a bod thing

uh I mean mod thing

arent mods from like the 1960s tho

followed by a mad men thing (even if their suits weren't actually that skinny)

well yeah I just figured that's where the style always points
