― elmo argonaut, Thursday, 6 October 2011 15:20 (twelve years ago) link

You guys are all so preppy. I approve.

The 2-in cuff is so jodhpur like, I dislike.

unrelated but i am concerned about the cuffs on that shaggy dogg sweater
is it okay to have cuffs on a sweater? is it cool? is it ugly? i ask because all of mine don't and i think all of my mom's do.
― funk master friendly (moonship journey to baja), Thursday, 6 October 2011 16:32 (twelve years ago) link
All my sweaters have cuffs because my arms are short and I push my sleeves up. Not sure what the official line is, but I think cuffs are a sign of quality b/c they show that slightly more material was used than absolutely bare-minimum necessary.

i have a gigantic head so i cannot wear most hats, i usually go for a chunky knit hat when absolutely needed but usually i go hatless and suffer
― elmo argonaut, Thursday, 6 October 2011 16:34 (twelve years ago) link
aha that makes sense laurel. i should have known j crew was too cheap to make these sleeves longer.
― funk master friendly (moonship journey to baja), Thursday, 6 October 2011 16:36 (twelve years ago) link
the ribbed cuff is nice i think
― elmo argonaut, Thursday, 6 October 2011 16:36 (twelve years ago) link
but that's not usually folded-back is it? i meant a folded cuff, like a pant cuff.
i think that really depends on the length of your arm and whether you like to show yr shirt cuffs. as long as the sleeve is relatively trim it should look fine if you fold it back.

can't believe i never post here as i am totally obsessed with clothes, it's probably due to my catholic reticience to talk freely about fashion, though it's subsided mostly in recent times, so here i am.
what i want:orange scarfa pair of brogues i want to wear every day (have a pair of saddle shoes and a sort of pointyish brogue but i feel i want a more casual pair)maybe a cap of some kind...i love tweed caps but it's a bit "irishman" and lots of twats wear them. they would totally suit my golf detective fashion tho.brown leather glovesa suit...gonna go second hand, i find blazers all the time but always hard to get a suit that fits well, despite some lovely stuff being around.
i like the below jumper a lot too. http://images.asos.com/inv/media/4/9/8/9/1819894/darkgrey/image1xxl.jpg

i bought a lovely dark brown vintage fur collar yesterday and i love it
― obliquity of the ecliptic (rrrobyn), Sunday, 9 October 2011 16:24 (twelve years ago) link
despite my ethics and love of animals and opposition to slaughter for fashion purposes :( i just really love leather and really want a fur vest - i feel like it's a hypocritical thing of me to want, but i truly do respect clothes made out of animals more than i do synthetics (which is a whole other kettle of fish re: industry, craftmanship, etc) - at least they're items that last forever, can be repaired and well-loved. also my feet and synthetic fabric do not get along in any way, ouch ouch ouch. also fur is so amazingly warm!! montreal was meant for wearing fur, not even kidding. i am torn...

I was inspired by Mireille Darc's sartorial choices in "Weekend" last night.

rrrobyn - at least it is vintage, right? i understand your fur concerns, and i think that your buying used is really a good testament to the virtues of durability and practicality you mentioned!

Is the cut of those orange pants the way things are going to go this fall? Because come on, that is really weird looking with the low crotch and the very tapered legs.
― pullapartsquirrel (Jenny), Wednesday, 12 October 2011 23:46 (twelve years ago) link
im dressed pretty well this fall tbh
― flopson, Thursday, 13 October 2011 00:03 (twelve years ago) link
still need some new sweaters though
carrot cut is terrible. makes you look like you have a fat arse or nappy.
― jed_, Thursday, 13 October 2011 02:35 (twelve years ago) link
but i dig the bold colours thing. i can't really wear browns, beiges, mossy colours etc, it's not for me but i think it can look great on others.
― jed_, Thursday, 13 October 2011 02:37 (twelve years ago) link
carrot cut is a little weird but if done right it can be really nice. i got those off asos and on arrival they're a little bit too drop crotch for my liking, though i'm still happy enough. but i have another pair of carrot cut that are a bit less baggy and tighter and they sit really nicely. i like the sort of "plus fours" feeling of them...think they're nicer with the cuffs rolled up a bit tho and some decent socks (enhances the sort of humorous british vibe) they look insane if you wear them full length imo, the narrowing at the bottom is so diff from the baggy ass. if rolled up a bit they kinda sit nicely.

Oh, they somehow have those Fair Isle Junya jackets at Bloomingdales. Right next to a bunch of shit like Tommy Bahama or whatever. But I got this fair isle cashmere onesie from Club Monaco last year on sale for $80!
