two parts of my personality at war right now

Champion sweat gear is the only authentic sweat gear

That floral shirt is amazing.

personally despise those items but i guess someone who isnt me could make them work

the bureau's styling is always good for a lol, like they get all this mindnumbingly pricey #menswear in just to make it look like 'former madchester impresario turned hairdresser is off to the pub'

LOL otm

haha - i've always thought this - it's insane - that fat bloke dressed in ten statement pieces all at once and linen hanging off his beer gut. does nobody there realise it's bad for business? engineered garments does exclusive stuff for them - they probably have more eg stuff than most other shops - it's like a monkey who's found a piece of glass.

been since browsing thru their archives and tbh i've convinced myself to rly admire them now on a kinda nakhamo vibe

defeated by unhappiness / hope of the underclass

vaguely reminded of this convo i saw on tumblr last week (between humanalien and love-less) (look idk i follow mindlessly) about atelier ny website. been deleted since for some reason but i pulled it from rss

"It’s really wild just how poorly-made this is. I’m wondering what happened to the firm they were paying $16,000 for social media/web presence. They literally could not be in a better position and they’re doing everything they can to run the franchise and its legacy straight into the ground. I don’t know what’s worse - this or the blogspot they considered to be an actual web presence."

"I completely disagree. Karlo-era Atelier blogspot was the absolute pinnacle of the NY luxury retail scene. I actually have brought it up in 3 - 4 interviews, and talked about it for probably 25 min. in the interview that got me my current position. Gratuitous, indulgent, so tasteless, occasionally genuinely upsetting, mostly superfluous to moving any actual product online or in-store. I actually had at one point saved all the “Client Style” images because I was so concerned some hotshot new hire was going to try to scrub the internet of any traces of it:

This is the real shit. It got worse after they gave it to James Baik to run. I’d still take this any day over, say, Opening Ceremony’s “Look at all the unpaid labor we conned out of New School kids from Alabama” blog."

i mean i get that engineered garments is p difficult to style, and sometimes just like second hand clothes someone's dad wore in goa - but the pics and the model are just so clueless.

lol

the flowery shirt looks like norse projects X paul smith ca. 2002

heh, is that a criticism or just a general comparison?

i think it's a criticism but i don't know any more

it's considerably more restrained than paul smith imo, and less restrained than norse - but to each his own

that just looks terrible. no two ways about it.

that's p much exactly how i dress when i walk go to buy eggs and bread from the shop next door on a sunday morning.

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

right, i want some black jeans now. lots of talk of raw denim and selvedge upthread which is a bit confusing. kind of like the idea of slim, if not skinny (i've never taken the skinny plunge, but maybe something close to that?) and possibly a slightly cropped leg for the summer. Any nice retailers out there in the UK that won't charge me a small forch?

Just go to H&M.

yeah? i was in there yesterday. they had things. didn't have time to try anything on.

They have loads of different jeans and they're cheap. I have found two specific kinds of jeans there, one dark blue, one black, that I'm totally happy with. They go nicely snug but not outrageously tight after washing. I can wear them for a week or two without them losing their shape or snugness too much (however, I have had H&M jeans that loosen up too much after just a day or two). Every time I'm in an H&M I buy up all the pairs in my size (30") I can find (I suspect others do this too, because it can actually be really hard to find any in my size). I don't have to think about jeans any more - I used to think about them a fair bit - and my legs look good every day. I love H&M - life would be so much different without it. I wouldn't buy a coat or some shoes there, probably, but for the basic stuff they're great.

I have a new style icon guys

Arcade Fire t-shirt and tote (from same tour), camo sweats, teal trainers, the Robin Thicke haircut

i love the casual leg cross like you're just reading something on your phone and not stealth snapping train photos

I'm a professional

that is what you look like if you wear black

no u

i liek those sneaks

I have been considering purchase of camo items but not any arcade fire merch items

decided I am definitely allergic to plaid after the scourge of the 90s and am ok never owning anything plaid ever again

the camo sweats are okay. i have a camo scarf but that's prob as far as i'd go, for 90s/bad dj fashion reasons.

black is awesome, hating black is wrong.

long sleeve white shirts with a black blazer

me this wk

feeling the vibe for loose untucked wide vertical awning stripe shirts but spidey sense also tingling that it's about to get cliche ss15 mnstrm real quick idk

i have a junglist yellow camo coat and i'm not afraid to say i love it.

i got a kind of bucket hat guys i'm wearing it right now

let's all go to a 90s music festival

you'll need doglatin's yellow camo coat

http://www.ebay.com/itm/battenwear-blue-nylon-anorak-size-XL-/321740540051?

If that is an anorak then I disagree

Yea I did not dig that anorak fwiw
