style blogs 2k11

i like SE, i respect the style tho they're definitely a overhyped at this point. i think their content is actually pretty well considered compared to a lot of other style blog bullshit.

also i know at this point it's hard to tell what's an actual real life street style shot and what's an editorial styled / staged to resemble such, regardless i think it's kinda silly to dismiss their editorial stuff as 'costumey' or ott because, well, isn't an editorial the appropriate format for costumey, ott looks?

not gonna defend brooklyn circus dude, tho, dude looks ridiculous and believe me it takes quite a LOT of look for me to say that

i really want someone to reconsider proportion and volume in menswear tbh i dont care how 'costume-y' their looks are i just think theyre tired. tailoring, prep, fabrics blah blah blah its all other ppls ideas yknow

yup i mean i hope the day is approaching when fashion dudes will stop thinking that showing off their ankles 94/7 is a dashing look

socks are back in

i don't even mean just the sockless thing, i mean like hemming pants with a deep break as opposed to cropping them at the ankle

i like those dudes.

also like the brooklyn circus dude in that photo!

haha i mean i try to be open minded and everything but i just can't with that camo

really? its just camo? or you mean the cherry red + camo? i think he looks awesome tho.

haha hate to know what you'd think of the ridiculous things in my closet then.

honestly idk, it's hard for me to put my finger on what's buggin me, i think it's the mashup of newsboy / schoolboy / cowboy / soldier elements and then with the alligator watch band and the turquoise rings -- it's all too much in too many different directions imho

and you know, that would probably all be okay with me, if not for dudes super-serious demeanor! lighten up a little, u know?

When You Assume…

OCTOBER 12, 2011
by JESSE

Please don’t assume:

That I think you should dress like me.

That I write exclusively to promote my own specific, personal aesthetic thesis.

That I think you should buy everything we feature on this site.

That I will think less of you if you don’t buy something we feature on this site.

That I expect people to spend more money on their clothes.

That I believe one aesthetic fits all.

That I think a wardrobe should be purchased all at once, at retail prices.

That I think everyone should wear a tie.

That I’m judging you.

OK? OK.

Let’s be friends.

what's good in 2017? looking for men's/androgynous-all-purpose content that avoids the omnipresent How To Dress Like A Gentleman adult-cosplay oppression which is so uncomplimentary to my tender cazh scruff soul

ogmor's post above keeps on popping into my head as being of continuing relevance and importance.

i never want to hear or see the word sprezzatura again. what are the options?

I'm just following a few japanese dads on instagram ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

probably not what you want but I like http://dieworkwear.com/ for figuring out how to transition from just suits to a casual amalgamation of things. and I like http://putthison.com/.

those are both probably sprez-heavy site though.

also they only talk about really expensive clothes, but I just hope to find them in thrift stores or on ebay.

I guess I'm still in #menswear world, but I know it will pay off someday.

I just like reading fashion stuff lately though, so enjoyed this (linked from Putthison): http://vestoj.com/will-i-get-a-ticket/

I love Mister Mort's IG stories:
