xp Mr Kotter was another idea I had. I have the hair for it, would just need to shave the facial hair other than moustache/sideburns. Corduroy Jacket, brown pants, wide tie, wide collar shirt, IDK what kind of shoes but probably doesn't matter.

All these ideas are really lameYou should go as Gene Simmons in full makeup, with the fake blood pouring out of your mouth and most importantly, the pyrotechnicsYou could walk around staining the carpet with the false blood and “inadvertently” starting house fires all evening. If you don’t overdo it you are really missing an opportunity. You can dress up like a dorky fucking professor whenever you want.

to be read in the voice of a gay german videographer:
70s professor, okay yeah, sell the ice storm to me, corduroy jacket and round glasses is basic level, you're fucking the other professor's wife like john updike, i need to feel the arrogance and the absent-mindedness, i'm thinking you need a pipe and a pair of basketball shoes otherwise no one cares.

hey @zach_tbd, do you think you could photoshop map's Oakleys (pictured upthread) onto Joe Don Baker's face TYVM

OK map is totally bringing it with the Updikean academia adultery theme. I bow to map's vision.
Fwiw I already have all those jackets (tweed and corduroy, with and without leather elbow patches). A former girlfriend once described my aesthetic as "drunk English professor" and I didn't disagree.

I am not sure Erdem will do another men’s collection for a while, which is a shame.

what are some of your favorite men’s fashion blogs? moreso interested in casual/street wear but anything will do

I'm in this interzone where I feel like men's fashion has changed a fair bit in the last few years, and also I am now safely in young middle-age and my whole wardrobe looks like it's from another era.
Plus people in Bristol, UK tend to deliberately dress down (you don't see people in tailored or vintage stuff, it's all skate and sportswear), so I feel daggy if I go for anything more preppy than an overshirt.
All the plain t-shirts I bought from Cos as staples a couple of years back feel too "fitted", not baggy enough, especially since the cut of jeans has relaxed significantly. I could do with some new ones.
Currently I'm really not sure how to shop for myself really. I'm conscious of trying too hard to be down with the kids - I already have some fairly baggy Carhartt WIP carpenter jeans and, like, one t-shirt that actually works with it.
Likewise, the places I hang out and the overall vibe of where I live, smarter/preppier looks make me feel like a narc.
Also: I don't have a heap of money, but with summer coming up I kinda need to do something
