ils thread for general menswear and men's clothing ish

i dont have to i already have toes

i have a lot of trouble wearing vans too but lagoon otm

not every good shoe is for everyone

(see also all other articles of clothing)

xo to diamonddave those danners are terrific, always sad i don’t live in a boot wearing place when i see danners

otoh one pair of vans I had, the sole started separating from the fabric after a couple weeks of wear

that is kind of an actually shitty shoe

maybe you’re walking wrong did you consider that

I think I was walking in skate shoes, my bad

what is sad to me is that apparently i walk wrong too because that always happens to my beloved stans and nike tennis classics within a year of daily wear

i can get them restitched a couple of times because they’re leather but i’ve had three pairs of these real nice “tournament edition” stan smiths last me for like ten years now and i wish they made all sneakers like that

vans chucks etc are inexpensive cloth shoes theyre not gonna last forever but i usually buy a new pair of vans every summer and wear them almost every day and theyre plenty durable to go through a season+ and u can totally trash them throw them in the wash go on a hike in them fn whatever you want just living the vans life

fuck socks fuck rules rt if u agree

I think wearing any athletic shoe daily for a whole year is gonna wear em out unless you’re not moving around much?

for insane running people there’s some number of hours/number of miles metric and I kept thinking that buying cheap running shoes sounds smart

I think we’re all on the same page now cool

I dunno maybe it's different in the UK but I've not really seen anyone other than emos wearing vans since the late 90s

I have a pair of these:

some good looks here https://www.gq.com/gallery/incredible-90s-airport-style

woody harrelsons is nice

omg the clooney dark blue dyed jeans, white tee and short bangs haircut look, that is like *the* defining look of my mid 90s memories -- jr high/early high school. Typically purchased from Structure.

looks kind of dumb on an adult though

lots of good looks in that slideshow

also proof that brad pitt has always been a simpleton

also i .... kind of like andy garcia's look?

it looks comfortable af

yeah, apart from the hair he looks the best.

i think christian slaters trousers would look good on chinavision

lol a little advanced for me

these are pretty good... love david letterman here... woody, yeah christian slater, and andy garcia is in fact wearing my pants

ben affleck the worst

and kevin bacon yeesh

late xp to diamonddave: u get a fashion thumbsup from me

is kevin bacon wearing a looney tunes tie?

there was a point in the 90s where looney tunes had their own storefront and had lots of clothing for adults, some of it understated stuff and not just t-shirts with the tasmanian devil proclaiming he's so badass

this made little sense then and now I feel a fool for typing it

actually struck by how kiddult a lot of them look, esp considering that's supposedly a hallmark of our time

guy at work still wears his looney tunes tie

and ya most of these looks are not good

Jason Bateman fanny pack

i like christian slaters jacket a lot

and ya most of these looks are not good

hindsight is 20/20

hugh grant and Paul Newman ftw imo

xp i guess but i also rarely follow these types of seasonal or generational trends

have kept it simple ever since i got over all my musical phases as a teen

hugh grant sporting a classic look otm

Paul Newman with sort of a meta-grandpa look going on, shades that are shaped sort of like those driving sunglasses you put over your regular glasses

Paul Newman was quite possibly the most handsome man ever even when old. I mean, look how fucking cool he looks. Hugh looks classic but boring af.

true

ha my granddad used to dress like paul

I mean.

This is like some sort of embroidered gas station attendant's jumpsuit or something and he still somehow makes it work.

kind of a spiritual cult member look

fwiw I'm now rocking a beard very sim to the one in the boat pic

but hugh grant's is imo the only one of those looks that would have been at least fine and not dated every year between 1990 and now. it's a bad look but it is timeless.

idk, it's not the most exciting look but it's def one of those *in the details* things imo, he looks good

wtf u mentalists hugh looks great

this photo reads best from top to bottom

I haven't bought new t-shirts in like a couple years or so -- what do you guys like nowadays as far as basic and/or graphic tees?
