^ searching for this post made me realize how much we like talking about shorts on this board

@ronan - my sweat shorts were the equivalent of thirty-two pounds. i wld not blame anyone for refusing to pay that much for shorts fwiw

the korean and japanese brands i follow on instagram had these really tech-y shorts for s/s 15 with like weird pockets - might have been for technology stuff like dayo was saying? kinda hate that look tbh even though i have a lot of respect for the urban mtn climber aesthetic in general

i smoked weed and shoplifted (<<cool guy) w/o cargo pants its time to come to grips w the fact that you were building a narrative to fit yr ridiculous pants

Nor would I - the blaming was coming in the other direction.

On cargo pants, I think someone in menswear is trying to bring them back too. I'm sure I've seen them for sale - also Nick Wooster wears them a lot. Think Suit Supply might sell them so it's that GQ type thing.

kind of tempted to buy rick owens merchandise at that sale

the mr. porter one that is

btw I need these sunglasses don't I

https://www.saltoptics.com/products/explorer/frames/1180

i want a t-shirt that says no goth but health goth on it in a cool impact font

@mh i like those sunglasses alot! i wish i was rugged enough to pull off the urban mountaineer look tbh i cant even pull off the patterened patagonia fleece i bought i just look like a high school geography teacher fresh outta college when i where it

I am clean-shaven right now but idk

they are way expensive but a discount coupon I have might apply? if nothing else works, the site I was looking at has a free return policy so I could get them, take sweet selfies, then return them

i just love my solid black knockoff raybans

i've learned i look better in cheap eyewear

my latest were 99c and I love em

cheap sunglasses i just lose instantly, i had to buy a decent pair to force me to take care of them.

sunglasses, water bottles, earbuds I can't spend any $$ on given average lifespan of ~2 weeks

^^

i usually buy sunglasses in ~$hundo neighborhood and retain them for a year, used to be a cheap partisan but i cn never find ones i like anymore idk + polarized >>>>>

i go through like three pairs every summer so i just buy $5 knockoffs in chinatown but i like nice sunglasses a lot

i used to go through a lot when i went cheap too its cool to not have to worry abt yr sunglasses i mean dont we have enough to worry abt already

yes. don't get me wrong i would love a pair of nice glasses but i would crush them. somehow. they would break.

one year my mom bought these beautiful winter gloves - i think the first winter i had moved back to canada - and i ended up owning them for less than a month. they were fantastic gloves, warm and stylish and incredibly nice-feeling so when i left behind on the streetcar one night i decided to google them and buy myself another pair. when i saw how much they were i was genuinely ashamed of myself, bought a cheap pair of thinsulate wool gloves at winners and failed to learn anything having lost sunglasses, keys, wallets, my passport and any number of other valuable items.

i dont deserve nice things probably

i even managed to leave behind a handful of words when i was writing that post :/

To change the subject from shorts: when are long, low and very pointed shoes for men going to just die. Is this a British thing? The guys who wear them aren't really chavs they are generally acceptably dressed otherwise, sometimes suited. A kinda topman thing, I guess? I feel like these folk have been wearing these horrible things for about 10 years. So disgusting.

Talking about this kinda thing.

that one is insanely long and pointy but traditionally long and pointy connotes formality

ey i lost my passport last month

Maybe it's a British thing lagoon, cos these shoes are everywhere.

dress shoes are always fucked. no one ever knows what to do. i go with as simple as possible.

Yep, that's the default shoe in my work office. So ubiquitous it's almost not even a thing any more. I don't mind them that much but it would be nice to see a change.

I like a long and pointy shoe! I am 5ft7 and take a size 6 (Euro 40) in shoes so they help prevent me looking like I have hobbit feet.

That said, that shoe is like the generic ideal of this forum and it does make me feel bored.

*form

I guess this is a bit worse than what we're talking about: http://jeansandsheux.tumblr.com

Forget if this was ever linked here before.

That tumblr....!

dedication

those shoes paired with those socks that give the illusion of no socks is probably my least favorite thing in menswear

someone somewhere is rocking that shoe/nosox combo with carefully pressed cargo shorts w/ leather belt. maybe a while polo shirt? shirt definitely tucked into the shorts whatever it is.

i'm wearing a bucket hat this summer

i'm still wearing everything white and i don't think i'm going to stop

except for maybe tonight when i might wear a rainbow bc i can get married anywhere in the United States

:)

Predicted high temps today through Sunday are 97, 100, and 106 degrees and as a bald man I will shamelessly wear a white bucket hat if necessary. So much better than my usual navy blue wool baseball cap.

totally thought that was Bez in the hat

one of the bad things abt the internet is because it keeps expanding exponentially most of the content is new content so when u search for happy mondays as was my first instinct almost all the images are from their recent reunion
