ils thread for general menswear and men's clothing ish

Linen suits in neutral colors are actually dud. boring and yet tryhard at the same time. Like those suede wingtip oxfords with sneaker soles.

This is a demented concatenation

Also what

thank god you’re here.

at least we got to all enjoy the phrase “demented concatenation”

Oxford shirts in blue are actually dud. boring and yet tryhard at the same time. Like those purple velvet waistcoasts with maroon leather trim.

it’s just two things I RMDE at on the train. Granted the linen suit is not as frequently spotted as the wingtips.

The thing with the neutral linen suit in DC is that there are a few guys around the neighborhood who really pull it off amazingly well, and everybody else looks like an uncomfortable poseur

uniqlo lightweight down >> patagonia fleece

Lots of fux0rs all over the west coast wearing the fleece vest

These days im sportin the khaks/chins but still too warm outside

Good thing its a little igloo at the office

Linen suits primarily come in neutral colors though. I have a navy one but that’s kinda rare? And I’m not sure how I feel about combining a conservative color with a non-conservative material.

Or is this more a complaint about cream/tan/olive suits etc regardless of material?

outler futureworks might be my new favorite pants

the slim dungarees are pretty good too

oo those look great, thanks for the tip

I'll probably die after I stand too close to a fire and the synthetic fabrics melt to my legs but they're comfortable, you can wipe spilled coffee right off em, and they look like normal pants with a nice cut

Yeah I have a few pairs of Slim Dungarees. My oldest pair I bought three years ago and they are still holding up very well. I wear them 2-3 days a week and wash gently about as often as I did jeans.

I couldn't read that WSJ piece but I hope it referenced: https://www.instagram.com/midtownuniform/?hl=en

Nope

I have to wear a coat and tie M-F for the next ten months

I guess I half appreciate the scam that is convincing tacky money launderers that it’s cool to spend $950 on a gaudy tie or whatever. There’s definitely a price point above which you’re probably buying increasingly ugly (or shiny?) clothing.

Xpost

el t that's awesome, and awesome that it's finite. an actual excuse to get some slick duds!

what is with these fuckos and the shitty blue-ish windowpane pattern blazers

What are you going to wear on your feet

Decided to forgo clothes altogether

recently found out that there are a shitload of younger dudes who are sneaker nerds after I, nerd with casual sneaker interest, bought something in that vein

like I have 20somethings saying "whoa got in on that drop" and I don't know how I feel

In case this needs to be said, and I truly hope it does not:

Do not wear chucks with jacket and tie.

Do not consider it for even one tenth of one nanosecond.

what if it's a jacket, tie, and... jeans

I'm not doing this or endorsing it, just throwing it out there

take it back

Tom

Please

Quincie this is a safe space zone

I’m just going to start posting pictures of the Tenth Doctor

Jean jacket and tie,
Feels like such a lie.

I mean you can just visit the suit supply website and there are models wearing sneakers with suits. I don’t even have to make you google Robert Downey black tie sneakers

first of all let's not hold up what models on websites look like as our standard of excellence here unless you're really working that "gormless tryhard" thing

also isn't quincie talking specifically about Chucks? i have done some box-fresh adidas with a pin-stripe suit and it worked

if we’re just back on the chucks suck bandwagon then fuck all you racist haters

I am familiar with the tomboto workplace milieu and that is a whole different thing than a tracer pulling off adidas and suit.

also I wasn’t positing models on websites as “excellence” I was using them as an example of what can be considered generally acceptable in the late twenty-teens

i like this look
