what is the sock choice with white sneaks? white seems weird, black seems too stark. i guess i'd go with grey or maybe any color besides black/white with pants, then no-show with shorts?

White sneakers for me will always be associated with doughy guys on their way to synagogue on Yom Kippur, just can't do it.

hits a lil close to home eh... foooolks

i like gray socks with white sneakers, especially since a lot of white sneakers are actually off-white

idk where i can buy air stabs in mtl but i am lusting after them hard rn

got mine on sale from england lol (remember to covert shoe size) http://us.stuartslondon.com/footwear-c67/trainers-sneakers-c69/nike-air-stab-white-emerald-green-shoes-312451-100-p19365/s88950

lot of sneakers on sale there some good deals including some other air stab colorways, got the tennis classics there too http://us.stuartslondon.com/sale/footwear-c67/trainers-sneakers-c69

i am already very tall will the air stabs make me look ridiculous?

no being tall is considered a good thing in our culture

yes but then i worry i am making all the other less tall ppl feel bad when i rock xtra high profile sneaks

just trying to be considerate

its cool it just like another 3/4"

i like the stabs too, there are a few stateside sellers on ebay, my size here

what is up with like male models buttoning the top button of a shirt

i don't really see that many people w/ shirts buttoned to the top

but when i look at shirts online to buy the models always have them buttoned

lol

lately I've been feeling like I need a whole new wardrobe

like I have some jeans and a couple shirts that I like but nothing else that is really working

favorite tees are falling apart past being wearable

favorite hoodie all of a sudden starts to feel like it fits very weirdly, maybe it is just too old at this point

copped those air stabs feel like the fall look is gonna be those, black jeans, flannel shirts, crew neck sweatshirts

also marcos i work at an art school and the david lynch top-button thing is huge, i think it looks v studied

top button up thing is awful london radio 1 act imo - can't really see why you'd do it

Goggins-chic.

Never too old for hoodies.

I need to buy a hoodie and I am contemplating buying a few sizes up rather than something snug, i just kind of want a big zip hoodie

feel like top button may read diff in uk vs. north america but maybe im reading too much into the british replies on this thread

atlantic top-button corniness debate

get that man a tie

lol i was going to post that same thing

i just don't even know with clothes anymore

David Lynch and Robert Smith = top button masters.

sometimes top button untucked with the right sneaker

speaking of kenneth cole just emailed me and i'm like gah at these white sneakers but i have no $$

every time I try top buttoning it feels like overdoing it. it's an affectation too far.

today I am rocking long sleeved t-shirt with polo on top for the first time in what feels like ages. I can't tell how I feel about it yet. Feels like I may be a bit old too pull this off. Which means it is necessary and I should do it every day that the weather cooperates.

i'm so down with that. i would do it white long sleeve + blue polo with khakis if i did it.

afaict uniqlo is not selling regular fit oxfords this season, only slim fit ;_;

that's fucked

how fast do you go through oxford shirts??

Uniqlo oxfords used to be great but now they are basically made from paper ime- I have one I bought 7 years ago that's in better shape than the last one I bought, about two years ago

think top button has been bubbling aronud for a while now my friend calls it the invisble tie look lol

i awlays think of perfume genius when i see it

Elijah Wood is my top button buttoned icon. I thought it was just a part of his character in Wilfred, but he does it IRL too.

yall put anything in your hair to style it?

i haven't in years since i used to basically buzz it but now that it is longer and curlier again i am starting to think it might be nice to use something to style it a little more, it is just really frizzy especially when it's humid out or after i wash it.

I don't love the buttoned-up thing, but just seems like people need to keep changing it up and that's as good a way to change it up as any. I don't think I'll ever rock the look though bc it doesn't suit someone like me, i.e. someone with a slight gut.

I use this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002N5MI2S?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage

something about it is a little too cloying and wounded for me

for hair care, my barber uses this on me and recommends it, but I haven't bought it yet:

http://www.amazon.com/Muk-Haircare-Rough-Forming-Cream/dp/B0050DLXVW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1443554277&sr=8-1&keywords=muk+cream

H hates the smell of most men's hair products, and this one doesn't have much smell.

I do find it can be nice to put some light product in even if you don't "style" your hair -- it just kind of keeps it together, reduces frizz, etc.
