ils thread for general menswear and men's clothing ish

I’m old. That looks incredibly stupid. Herd instinct offends me to no end.

its interesting which things that were cool become popular and lame imo

thanks for your input lag00n

my pleasure *bows deeply*

like years ago just a few years before every guido was wearing a shirt w a graphic that flirtily crawled over their shoulder or onto the sleeve or whatever i ran into this guy i knew on the street and he introduced me to his boyfriend who was wearing one of those shirts, he was all hey come check out my shop i just opened around the corner and i was like yeah ok (to myself whatever), the shop was opening ceremony

i don't actually want to get yoga pants / sweat pants i don't think but i'm bored with chinos and jeans and want to try something more adventurous and fashion-y i guess. i have muscular legs and could probably pull off something a little ridic and flamboyant but i don't know where to look.

xp haha!

adopt the world traveler look, get fucked up dreads

hahahaha it's a bridge too far for me i'm afraid

although "smooth" and "flowing" have a certain appeal

wait now i'm thinking that unleashing my inner hippie raver is a really good idea actually

occasionally when i lived in boulder id see someone who was so deep in that culture that they looked amazing

The fact that so many dudes are wearing sweatpants in public now makes me want to die. It's not a good look ever an only acceptable if you're actually doing exercise or something. Also, I've seen more unwelcome peen in the past few months from guys wearing sweatpants than I have in years. Nope.

looks good on young african americans ime, bad on everyone else

i haven't really noticed a lot of sweatpant bulge

Relatedly, as someone who only ever wears sweats to work out I hate how all sweats seem to be that jogger shape now. I have big legs so they look funny on me. And also I do not like giving others unwelcome peen outline in the gym.

Yeah, I see a lot of peen in sweatpants. I don't think guys understand support undergarments in certain situations.

And as google tells me, this is indeed a thing, a challenge, a hashtag. The sweatpantsbulge.

The kinds of supporting boxer briefs that are best for working out imo only accentuate the bulge.

Yeah when enbb mentioned it above I was thinking of all the loose dicks I see flapping about in sweatpants but the pics online I see it's a different arrangement.

Sweats are comfortable.

I mainly wear jeans but I like those trousers that are essentially slacks and don't have the cuff at the end but still have a drawstring or elastic waist. Seems a good innovation, not least since it's unusual for the waist of the trouser to be visible anyway.

this is going on the striking imagery thread

i actually wear three legged sweatpants one leg is for my dick

i'm going to go out on a limb here and admit that i have never knowingly seen a pair of "drawstring slacks"

i don't want to see them

i haven't worn sweatpants as an adult but am always tempted to go back to my west of scotland roots and get a nice vintage kappa or sergio tacchini number off of eBay

i skulk around in my gym clothes sometimes

My bf keeps threatening to find us matching Sergio Tacchini warm ups so we look like Russian mobsters apparently. Looking at their website now--I don't hate them, I can say that much.

But I think he meant the slick shiny 80s ones with like diagonal color blocking.

shit's gettin ivan lendl up in here

dope

sweatpants are at least upfront about the level of effort the wearer is putting in. i’ll take that over the countless number of cheap-looking jeans and khakis that fit horribly and are three inches too long.

I am into that aesthetic as a couple, xpost inorbit.

Yes I support this couple outfit idea. Yerac - yes the clapping is exactly what I mean. It’s not right.

I sometimes regret not buying this from a thift store, but there's no way I'd ever actually wear it:

nice. i bought a black, teal, and purple one for a party but haven't worn it since. probably should take it to a thrift store so the cycle can start again.

sweats are only ever appropriate in public either going to or from the gym imo

I hate how all sweats seem to be that jogger shape now.

same. i had to scour ebay for a pre-jogger pair of nike sweatpants to replace the ones that were dying

also annoyed that champion is in style right now cuz now i can't find the nice reverse weave sweats for cheap at nordstrom rack anymore

im super into washing and bleaching and fabric softening my clothes, the soft faded life

i turned a pair of flat gray bad color jeans into a nice natural light khaki using bleach :]

My assortment of dashingly minimalist one-shoulder bags are starting to give me back pain. Is it Jansport time?

I had this cheapo black hanes t-shirt where I had spilled bleach right about in the spot where a t-shirt pocket would go, and it made a somewhat cool-looking, orange-whiteish splotch, so I used to wear it out -- people sometimes asked me if it was a designer t-shirt.

I've thought about getting some more of those and just experimenting with bleach spills.

i'm giving thought to a tote/backpack cross because i have become a scooter wanker in los angeles, and scooting while carrying a toat a tote is suicidal.

just put the tote straps around your shoulders like it's a backpack boom you're welcome

i like peter and ian's looks in joy division, but it turns out every single picture of joy division is black and white: https://i.imgur.com/eECkPt8.jpg

can some britishers suggest some shirt and pant color combos that some blokes might've worn around that time?

there are some colour photographs, though they are in the minority. generally seems to be quite muted colors:

the big coats are grey or navy,
grey, navy or black pants. black dress shoes.
shirts are bit more varied, there's pictures of ian curtis in red, orange, and yellow shirts. as well as pale blue and olive and white. don't think I've ever seen hooky in anything that colorful in joy division days (maybe pale blue shirt on the more colorful side)

oh yeah maybe olive pants as well. bit of military look sometimes, especially ian

here's some evidence
