too clean

My feet are too big for diabetescore

every single nike posted recently is ugly af

post good nikes

there are none they're all awful >:(

90% of these things are not for me but I appreciate how well you are all cultivating yr styles

haha otm though the main one I cannot get with is diabetes-core. max tbh based on your ils posts of the past few months I imagine you wearing tracksuits and warmup pants every day with these chunky ass beige sneakers

not that far off tbh

maybe not coincidentally i have put 2-3 inches on my waistline over the last year

Can someone explain diabetes core to me please :(

diabetes core is a feeling

diabetes-core is a feeling of numbness in the extremeties which only chunky beige sneakers can alleviate

i bought new sperry topsiders that i like. sometimes i wear them with socks, sometimes no socks. it depends. perfectly acceptable either way. you just have to choose the right sock. not a fan of the "invisible" socks bc a lot of the time they're still visible and they look like stockings for men.

also i just bought some pants and i'm excited. gray and white.

v true that they are sometimes visible - you have to find pairs that aren't or consider the colour i guess

was out with an old friend last night, he was visiting london, and his bandmate turns out to be a neighbour of mine who works for converse - has hooked me up for a few boxes of free sneakers. pretty good for a quiet saturday night out...

amazing

diabetes core is a good option if health goth sounds too aspirational

unhealthy goth

f/k/a "goth"

Saw a guy yesterday wearing iridescent navy Nikes with some green highlights along with green argyle mid-calf socks, white Bermudas, and a white tank top. It was a bold shoe/sock combo but it looked great and I thought one of you might feel inspired by it. Namaste.

ok that's a bold look

update: I still cannot keep my pants up

what abt the suspenders w/ hooky clasps? Utilitarian AND butch!

I have seen the exact same ones in both the office break room and the basement dungeon at the leather bar.

i'v been having the same issue recently i feel like one of those guys on the street wit they boxers out

suspenders would make me feel like this guy, from Hollywood Squares circa 1970

xp that's a good look imo

big time savings on really nice stuff http://www.mrporter.com/Content/mrporter_sale

This was my technicolor semi-normy stash:

I'll check back again in two weeks or so when the discounts go into ridic mode

I pretty much got out of having a raw denim interest but my friend ordered two pairs of Gustin jeans and they ended up being a little small. So he gave them to me.

:D

Some of those clothes on Mr Porter are insanely expensive, even with the discocunt.

which discocunt?

mr porter is expensive - indeed. i actually saw a ton of nice clothes on their sale this year but nothing i was actually looking for, so it felt like a waste of money. i did see a shirt i bought two months ago at half-price though, that stung me.

there are some t-shirts/shirts/shorts/sweats at p reasonable prices. if you wanted to buy a winter coat now you'd probably get a bargain too.

The last Mr P sale was total garbage, this new one is a little better, but nothing too amazing. Once it goes to 70% off they stick a load of stock from past seasons up as well, so worth checking back then.

Had my heart set on this for a decent summer jacket but it got rinsed as soon as the sale started http://www.mrporter.com/en-gb/mens/apc/cotton-gabardine-lightweight-jacket/540654

i was tempted by some of the weekend bags, some big reductions - but i just bought a 60 quid one on asos so that will do for now.

the stuff goes v quickly - i had a skim monday morning and it was about 10 pages shorter when i looked back that night. i kind of think it's only really worth bothering for coats, jackets or blazers and maybe shoes/bags. or at least i'm less likely to be mad keen to snap up a 120 quid shirt with a 30/40 per cent discount.

everyone needs jacquard sneakers in their life

pmsl at discocunt

btw guy in 'spenders up there is Rosanna Arquette's grandpa

Re weekend bags, nice discocunt whistles job here http://www.whistles.com/accessories/canvas-and-leather-holdall-bag-18001.html?dwvar_canvas-and-leather-holdall-bag-18001_color=Blue%2FMulti#start=1

oh i like that but ended up purchasing a printed hoody/windcheater which also had a nice discocunt.
