ils thread for general menswear and men's clothing ish

oh I think grandpas' shawl collars can be grandfathered in (lol), i just didn't dig the recent trend for shawl collars on everything ever for a while

agree on no shawls

pleased to see more thick cardigans without shawls, for a few years every big cardigan seemed to have one

guys let's make this easy:

THINGS THAT ARE OKAY OR GREAT:
polos made w/ pique waffle mesh
polos made w/ soft jersey or w/e

THINGS THAT ARE JUST THE WORST:
zip-neck sweaters
shawl collar sweaters
cowl neck sweaters
polos made w/ shiny golf nonsense garbage material
polos w/ long sleeves

now that that's settled what do we think of uh idk what's gonna happen in 2016?

2016 will be sleeveless polos and back-zip boatneck cardigans

I hope health goth ends

to be replaced with exernoize iirc

i wouldn't mind seeing sleeveless polos out there in april tbrrwu

we can make it a thing

we are an internet think tank

Could this be the year frayed hem jeans make a comeback?

rugby shirts are coming back

wearing some right now, thank you! xp

i'm like a 2/10 on fashion scale today, nbd

are those really baggy jeans?

are you my brother?

straight leg. it's the picture, but then straight leg looks baggy in 2016. these jeans were $15 final markdown at the gap

menswear strikes again

zip mocks and rugby shirts are about even imo

you people
can't we talk about nice clothes

I splashed out on this coat in the sales and I love it, so cosy:

(don't wear it over a t-shirt though)

I've never had a real coat before! Always a jacket - smart, waterproof or otherwise.

I think one of the things I enjoy most about clothes is having very strong and resolute ideas about which ones are acceptable or not.

great coat seandalai

i used to have a similar one 10 or 12 years ago, i got so many compliments, for some reason i didn;t feel it was my style for a while so it sat in my closet for years and i eventually gave it away, very sad about it now

nothing personal this is directed at everyone in the thread but this is not actually like how clothes work

well but 505s though, those are strictly the worst

every time anyone is like definitively this type of garment is bad im all ah this person is definitely unattractive and poorly dressed and prob smells bad

what about banana colors - are there some bananas that are the wrong color though

bananas are not clothes

except my opinons about black and rugby shirts, those are good opinions

when i was approx 9 years old, polo shirts, Ocean Pacific ('OP') shirts and Panama Jack shirts were totall essentially to being a worthwhile human being - in addition to THESE:

i begged and begged my parents for a 'coca cola shirt' and when they finally knuckled they somehow ended up buying me a scoop neck women's non-rugby version, which i was mocked for :(

I remember the Panama Jack and OP craziness. I probably had about a dozen OP t-shirts at least. Don't think the Coca-Cola rugby shirt ever caught on in any of the neighborhoods I grew up in though?

no this is a good pastime!

it's fun

mr. I know how clothes work

if you read the thread you will clearly see its not fun

not only did I have fun at it but it sort of looks like you did too!

im sorry but every post being all this [wide category of clothing] is douchey is not fun

it actually takes no appreciation of clothes it just takes opinions

i don't think you're sorry

im sorry that its come to this, truly

[wide category of clothes] is bad is basically a basis for conversation

lagoon just skateboarded into the thread to throw up the hang loose sign

thread is like 90% ppl w no taste saying what they think is bad tbh

but [narrowly defined characteristic] is more fun I think.

xpost

you have a different issue w the thread then xp

i'm not getting a smug or judgmental vibe from this thread at all, and there is plenty of sincere sartorial interest and appreciation

thread is like 90% ppl w no taste saying what they think is bad tbh
