ils thread for general menswear and men's clothing ish

i have... seen them

the person was inside of opening ceremony btw

they werent the flag ones tho

Haven't seen the Hermes ones but I've seen plenty of people rocking like Adidas versions or w/e

(This was in China btw)

I've seen them out in public!

I'm not actually sure here if Hermes actually makes a winged sneaker or if they're just the generic name

lol

not the brand... the god

Anyway I miss menswear out in East Asia

Dudes in HK and Korea and Japan and China have so much fun

There are all these little compact malls filled with fly by night brands that p much just copy all the latest name brand stuff out there

So it's super easy and cheap to throw together a fun look

In #the_west it seems people are very much into buying things 'that will last' and being into boutique Scandinavian brands that cost $200 for a pant

W/e

love2spend $$$ for pant

It can feel good to spend dollars for a pant I agree

some day i too will have money pants. tbh excited about j. crew factory as an option within my budget. i live in plato's cave of fashion and ils is my shadow play

i have pant from jcrew factory

You will always remember your first $$$ pant

your pants run the "pamut"

this is called moneypants

cute shoes imo http://www.other-shop.com/other-serge-black-derby-shoe.html

wld buy these if the exchange rate was swapped, its a good idea btw we shd do that

I recently got campers that are very similar shape but a little more casual bc rubber sole. Meant as bike shoes so they make great bad weather work shoes

link?

j crew factory is like 30% of my clothes tbh

feel like i posted this sometime before, but this haircut style of having a really dramatic taper on the sides and back with a longer, side-parted top seems really ubiquitous among fashionable urban men, huh? this has been a thing for a few years now but is it peaking?

often combined with a full beard too

That's literally the haircut I have rn

Is this you irl marco? I recall you have copious facial hair

"hitler youth" aka "the mackless" http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/17/fashion/a-haircut-returns-from-the-1930s.html

Yeah, occasionally referred to as the "hitler youth" haircut, that was indeed all the rage starting maybe 2-3 years ago and has run its somewhat predictable course into more and more mainstream layers of society, so that a toned-down version of it is not uncommon among young lawyers and finance dudes. Some of its popularity was attributed to that guy on Boardwalk Empire. Anyway I think it's probably dying down now, but honestly it's a nice haircut -- clean cut but with some flair. My wife who actually works in eastern williamsburg says she sees more young artisanal dudes wearing long, 90s sensitive seattle guy hair lately, but I scarcely brush with that world anymore.

xxp haha definitely not, i have a very short beard and nothing like that. also i do not have this stylish taper and side part haircut i just mentioned.

but yea it is a nice haircut. have to say though i prefer long 90s style seattle hair more

I like the haircut because it makes my face look more narrow

I am on the razor's edge between having a narrow face and having a round face

btw that gif is grossing me out a LOT

Ugh that noodle beard gif is right up there with the Guy Fieri tongue gif on the list of gifs that make me sad to be alive. Also I really like the haircut to which you are referring.

would be pretty funny if this was the next look:

i have a hitler-youth-man-bun.html

haha would love that^^^

in boston the hipsters aren't as cutting edge as in williamsburg so this "mackless" look is still dominating

My haircut changes very little over time because the texture of my hair means only very limited things work, but even I have been kind of having the barber leave the top a little longer and the sides a little shorter in a nod to the style of our day.

for real lagoon? you have a bun? that's rad. i have a somewhat high hairline so i've never felt comfortable pulling my hair into a bun (when it was long enough to do so back in college) but tbh i sometimes dig that look

i've been cutting my own hair for probably 15 years. i basically cut it all one length but the top is free and curly and the sides and back lay down more so it looks like it's longer on top

i dont really have a bun sorry

xp the guy fieri tongue is MUCH worse though

rn/usally i have bedhead, need to move somewhere w softer water

one of my good friends in college was totally this LA spacy yoga dude was super super friendly and genuine and he would wear his hair in a bun when doing yoga

yea i typically shower at night since i get up with my son in the morning, so i have pretty bad bedhead all the time

i took a picture of my hair

I think the hitler youth haircut looks good but I feel that 20 years from now it's going to feel very of an era the way that this does now:

I am perhaps saying this as a jealous bald man with no hair to style.

I like dudes with buns, too!

hah i've been gradually heading toward that hitler youth haircut if only because it seems like it will grow out well, i can deal w/having longer hair on the top but i hate messy back/sides and having hair over my ears. i prob am too much of a wuss to go full buzzcut on the back/sides tho.

i wore a bun sometimes in high school its p corny tho

feel like casual ponytail is trending for dudes maybe this is 'seattle hair' kinda dont get that

its seattle maybe cause the hair is stylishly ignored/distressed
