i have been known to do this when sat in the outdoor seating at a bar after a couple of drinks. it is a strong european look.

v euro, you can pull it off

guys do this in my office from time to time, it is v misguided

fully hate longline t-shirts, it makes ppl look like they've got tiny little legs i think. i've been doing the opposite and shortening all my t-shirts for gratuitous belly flashes

feel like they cn look good on some lanky ppl but its irrelevant cause theyve already made it most of way on the classic scoop neck tee journey from hypebeast to douche turbo

i'm hoping to effect more of a lesbian social worker vibe

plaxicoooooooooooooooooooooooo

hallo surm!

:)

:)

anyway just to reaffirm my commitment to advanced lifestyle branding options, i'm sewing most of my clothes now.

i'm envious i wish i could make my clothes bc i would make p decent clothes if i knew how

anyone can sew its v easy

not for me :( :(

i cant sew either :/

even though its like a hundred degrees here everyday ive been dreaming about stephan schneider f/w 15 sweaters

hehe - i've already started thinking about boots and coats

me, three months from now

fall/winter dressing has so many more opportunities than summer dressing. i could wear plain gray t-shirts all summer and be just fine.

tho today i am wearing a pair of off-white chinos at the office and enjoying them.

no my summer look is v blythe danner in the hamptons. draped hand-dyed linen. i was just picking wildflowers from the end of the garden.

in winter everything vanishes under a coat half the time.

i love winter clothing so much it makes me want to die

the blazers

the coats

the scarves

the pants

the oversize sweaters and sweatshirts

s/s has a lot of fun dressing opportunities for about five weeks then its just unbearable to wear anything other than shorts + t-shirt for me

ive been keeping my dry cleaning at work and just changing in my office ever sine i tried wearing a suit on the streetcar two weeks ago

early october is the best clothes weather here though

yeah otm there are a couple weeks where it seems fun to wear weird-colored pants and then it just sucks and i want to wear uniqlo lounge shorts every day.

oh i wear shorts in the winter! please i wear tshirts in the winter. i'm an equal opportunity winter clothing exploiter

yeah but 6 weeks summer holiday for teachers. also linen is basically a hi-tech fabric, cool, dry, strong, stain-resistant

certainly not suggesting three buttons undone in an office

also dweebs who wear a crew neck tshirt under their shirt should not undo any button except the collar imo

however, chests and drinks and linen are good

lol good talk

I kind of like crew neck undershirts on other guys but it might be the same way I find it cute when guys hold their spoons with their fists or feeling affection for a shaky-legged colt.

wearing a crewneck t-shirt under a button shirt is for basic bros.

white crewneck under revolving selection of old Pendleton flannel shirts = what i wear the majority of days for 6 or 7 months of the year for me.

"aw look at the man-toddler. i bet his ego is so big and fragile! <3 <3"

Oh no, that's fine, I mean with biz casual/oxford shirts

I feel like it's pretty rare to see in Manhattan tbh, like it's usually the fresh-out-of-Midwestern-college kid or the old-guy-who-is-brainy-and-dngaf

I still prefer a crew neck as an undershirt and most certainly dngaf.

crew neck on its own is way in of course, but i don't usually wear shirts under my button downs so i can't speak to that

looooooool

yea i do not wear a crew under an oxford. if i do wear an undershirt it will not be visible at the collar

flannel or chamois is different i might wear a t-shirt underneath but def not a white one, i do not own any white crew necks

i can dig cool weather style it is fun to layer up for sure but man i just really love wearing shorts and a t-shirt, it is liberating and feels great, summer is just the best season imo

I've been thinking about dying a few white undershirts tan (maybe w/ tea?) so that they don't show under lighter shirts.

caek we r on same page

trevor nelson seems to favour dark button-downs waaay unbuttoned with a white T underneath, pretty fresh imo

dyeing with tea is a key part of my ss look. for winter i think wool, silk and leather.

awesome

the only way I can see three undone buttons on a button down working is if you're already hot enough that it doesn't matter. However, since I live in Scotland I don't really need to consider such trifles. I had my hearing on last night.
