ils thread for general menswear and men's clothing ish

Remember when giving a shit was cool

Didn't realize I only posted here to troll actual stylish people who know the right way to wear shorts

now my self awareness is tuned up correctly, I will commence my "51 Tombot" campaign before I ruin ILS any further

fashion's a tough game my friend. just when you think you know the rules of shorts - ZWOOP they go and change

#fashionSoUgly #oscarwilde

you don't like shorts, so you say
but would you like them IN CROCHET?

i'm wearing them with an untucked white dress shirt, sleeves rolled midway to my elbows (i had to work this morning in shirt and tie, decided to keep the shirt)

it's hard to find shorts that strike that perfect balance of just the right length (above knee, but not too much!) and juuuust the right tightness/bagginess

those are good shorts!

yeah and what's nice is they fit me and they make them every season in the same cut but a different material, so i have a little collection of them

they keep ratcheting up the price and they are now ridiculously expensive but you can usually find them on eBay for 60-80% off retail

as a result of brand loyalty i have ended up w some quite weird ones though - i have a linen oxford cloth pair in lifeguard red, only worked up the nerve to wear them once or twice so far

I don't have much fun fashiony stuff but I found a great 1960's brooks brothers olive gabardine suit at goodwill last weekend. I also found a 1970s sportcoat with a 1970s business card of massimo vignelli's in the pocket.

I've been going nuts on thrifting in nyc for the past 6 months and it's been pretty great.

hoping to find more casual summer shirts now

and sure, shorts, why not?

hi guys i got some new short overalls but unfortunately i bought them 2 days before rompergate broke and now i'm stressed out abt wearing them and ppl making romper comments

Lagoon I wish I knew why your regular disgust at my takes gets me so bent out of shape. It really does, I wish we could be buddies!

I'm not a troll, I'm just a somewhat self-aware clown? I mean look at my kix thread posts.

I tried to find a good pic of my fatigues but they're long gone, OOP collector pants now I guess. Google images for "fatigue pants" gives a reasonable idea

Xxp that is a very good Stevie D look

yea Stevie those are great

been wanting a pair of engineers overalls tbh, dickies makes a pair but I can't really pull them off yet. I think there are a lot of styles that I am looking forward to wearing when I'm gray and can rock some old dude dgaf swag

lagoon otm

sorry we can be friends, it was unfair to single u out

anyway i will try to follow my advice and post cool clothes on the thread, tho havent really been doing too much clothing recently lol

oh yea so you on that nude trip?

love too let it all hang out baby

i have worn the same shirt for the past 2 weeks

my friends have the worst takes irl tbh

k3vin really pushing the limits of something, keep it up buddy

do u, wash it?

on the real been experimenting with sleeping in the nude and its hit or miss

sometimes i wake up cold even when its supposed to be hot all week

most clothes besides socks and underwear or athletic gear don't need to be washed that frequently imo

wearing a dirty shirt is my worst nightmare

i'm only wearing it when i study or am inactive. when i go exercise i change clothes

That's def what we did with our uniform shirts & pants

dudes would starch & iron the hell out of them, then wear them for at least two weeks before washing

any garment that touches the sweatiest parts (underarms, ass crack, balls, feet) gets washed weekly

the rest is debatable

pants and sweaters are the only thing that can go > 1 day worn before wash

I find this position reasonable, but also live in a place with adequate water and have my own washer and dryer

iirc some folks also employed significant amounts of Febreze, so you'd have your deodorant, then an undershirt, then a shirt soaked in starch until it was stiff and shiny, febreze'd all to hell. a whole lot of institutionalized microstrategies so you can have flat, flat pockets and creases that look almost painful and not completely stink up the place.

just go full crust punk
