itt "FUN SHIRTS"

the more conservative, 2-color iterations of these aren't that bad even though I'd still avoid wearing them

yea, i still get a definite middle-age, pleated-cuffed-shorts kinda vibe off these for the most part. but then i see this pic and i think that look seems p chill so idk

LOVE the blue one with the pink sleeves and collar.

oh, i love "FUN SHIRTS"! I have tons, but these are the only three i have that are at all similar to the first one:

http://i553.photobucket.com/albums/jj379/philtwo/IMG_0094.jpg

(L-R) Opening Ceremony, Comme des Garcons (silk floral print), Peter Jensen

also, that first shirt is great. wheres it from, elmo?

the third one is pretty good too

i have two shirts pictured in this thread, yet I am no fun. go figure.

would kill for phil's middle shirt btw.

also i almost bought that jacket nick wooster is wearing -- the pastel black fleece brooks bros thom browne thing, off giltman for like $500

(kill.... or buy a month's worth of popeyes)

shasta, you have that gordon gartrelle piece???

oh hmmmm, i think i have a new halloween costume idea!!! now gotta find someone who can sew me one

i like penguin shirts but idk they are prob not 'fun' i.e. ridic enough

shasta, i got that silk CDG floral shirt at tokio7 for $100 :)

phil, that comme des garcons shirts is beautiful

how many buckets of popeyes will it cost? actually i think i'm a size smaller than you now. :-)

thanks horseshoe! its surprisingly wearable too!

heh, i would never ever in a million years be able to pull one of these off but i actually like a lot of them, despite my feelings about colors/patterns/textures

elmo, i may have to go to a brooksbrothers now to try on that shirt... only $98, not bad! i do love me some pastels. also, i have pants from japan just like that mark mcnairy shirt. they're sorta carrot pants'ish and the front half is blue chambray and the back half is the red and white stripes. they're kinda kooky...

max, sure you can! most of these are pretty wearable. just try!!

they do not really fit in with my personal brand

Max won't even wear colorful shoes iirc

max does your personal brand dictate one fabric only ever? what about contrast collars?

(no gecko)

one fabric per clothing item yes

oh, what is your personal brand...

"max"

phil idk sometimes i worry that dressing loudly as a bigger dude i just call attention to my size and risk looking outlandish in a bad way, but i like loud things! it is a conundrum

but its not loud in a garish way as long as you wear it right (which im assuming you do). also, i think it says a lot about someone's confidence! if i see a bigger dude doing color and print well, i think "oh, he's probably a great fuck". or "god, what a fag". or both.

on the flip side, i have no idea what people think when they see me dressed like a clown. btw, i dont dress like that upthread photo all the time. it was a persian themed party, and thats the closest i could come up with without having to go buy some new shit.

agree w everyone upthread that its an awesome shirt, if i ever found a floral fun shirt in my size i would probably be unable to resist

i actually have too many fun shirts. trying to offload some. actually what size are you? i do have some L (non-funshirt) stuff though I bought either to wear oversized or L or XL stuff I bought only because it was 90% off (so asian of me). a denim yohji coat with furry collar, maroon yohji sweater, a kooky henrik vibskov black/white knit robe...

i mean, if youre interested

i'm generally an XL but depending on sizing i wouldn't be surprised if i needed a 2X :(

this reminds me, these 'fun shirts' are pretty popular in HK (and i imagine japan, where HK gets all its style tips from). also khakis with contrast lining, cuffed so you can see whatever crazy polka dots/stripes live in the inside of your pants!!

These things all remind me of '90s cowboy shirts!

lso khakis with contrast lining, cuffed so you can see whatever crazy polka dots/stripes live in the inside of your pants!!

oh yeah, i got a pair of those with plaid lining by the cuffs... from uniqlo in tokyo like 18 months ago! ive only worn them once. they were on sale for $10

whaaat i want a pair

i should get my brother to send me some, he will probably ask if i have become mentally ill and/or homosexual

the one on the right looks exactly like the flannel bedsheets i had as i kid

Fun shirts are such a no no in my town. Seriously. People wear very drab (?) clothing. Anything that stands out: people comment. Even my kid. Lol

i got this advertised to me today in my instagram feed and i kinda... don't hate some of these?

https://alsofitit.com/

this just means i'm a 40s-ish man, though, doesn't it

the 'party shirts' section is all-time fwiw

Have we talked about how aloha shirts are fash now :-(

lol no. they going to claim the word “the” soon

aloha shirts will never go out of fash

I feel like a lot of menswear that was “cool” 5-10 years ago (but workwear in particular) now seems fash.

That’s funny, I was looking at the old FYMW tumblr just recently (mostly just to remember how old it is) and thinking about how most of the looks still seem relevant.

They were never really into normcore though

I could see getting a few of those long-sleeve alsofitit shirts and rolling them up. I assume they’re not cut for people with even a minor case of dadbod though

I just got some of the hawaiian shirts from AlsoFitit. The quality is...... not great

I am returning them. I sort of hate clothes shopping online and this is reminding me why.

Uh oh

If you ordered you might be okay, I dunno. They're incredibly variable, from material to styling to print quality, none of which really comes across on the website.

Lol they offered me 30% refund if I just kept them. I was like, no I'd like to return them. So now I need to mail a package to Guangzhou

Oh no

fwiw mine showed up and they're fine

ha! amazing.

i kept one of them by the way. the others i returned to that address in some chinese industrial park and did, eventually, get a refund for them.

can i borrow $423

that under-the-armpit pocket is too weird for me

don't tell me you don't have chuck taylors with zippered pockets on them

I do not, that is absurd

I would get patchwork indigo chucks though

under-the-armpit pocket is a great place to stash your deodorant stick

impressive, but the colorway is tiresome

xp - I don't know that looks a bit too "Grandma fucked this one up" for me

i'm sorry you don't love your grandma more ;_;

theo huxtable alert

I had a dream I had a shirt similar to that one and I was really chuffed with it, even though it looked silly on me

how do you know you looked silly? did someone tell you? ignore them, they're imaginary. you felt silly? ignore it, it was an anxiety dream.

i think you should go for it mr dog latin

oh weird that is in canada, ok nvm

i had a barbarian rugby once, it was a lot simpler than that and it was pretty tight. like literally very tight in the shoulders and neck, and it was an XL. i am 6'1" but still also maybe don't get a small
