kinda loving the idea of a workwear style suit for winter for everyday wear. contrived/passé or cool? this one is universal works and tbh i can't really afford it.

I mean is there also going to be a shabby little flat cap and a Newsies accent?

I'm not against it, I just think it would look better with knickers.

also kinda loving this from UW

which i like irl even more than in the photo because the dots are printed not woven and are very pale pink rather than white.

xpost ha, laurel i know there's a risk of that.

I'm just kidding, I do rather like the suit, I'm just making fun of my own reasons for finding it ...appropriately au courant with my demographic, loosely speaking.

There are much worse looks to evoke, that's for sure. I like that suit!

Anyone have any recommendations for procuring a nice 3-piece suit within the next, oh, two weeks? Local department stores (including Saks, Neiman's) have been a fail.

Oh wait may have a Nordstrom option (what is the feeling on Hugo Boss menswear? I love the womens clothes but generally too spendy for me).

Are you in DC? Surely there's a Jos. A Banks around there somewhere.

Oh I forgot about that place--lemme check and see if they do 3-pieces. . .

i like that suit, jed! and the vest

pocket front tees/shirts

heheh i ordered like 5 of those for midsummer wear when j crew was having a sale

theyre the new henley collar tees

i bought eight pocket front tees in different muted colors this spring, have been wearing them all summer

broke down and tried on a bunch of pocket front boo oxfords, they were super nice and flattering

also say a rag+bone (or maybe engineered garments) duffel coat v prominently displayed in the p cool boutique where i was shoppping @cake #falltrends

i take my t-shirt cues from my gf, 6 years ago she was like v-necks, 3 years ago, henleys, this year, pockets

also idk what you have xp'd but the brand 'surf nyc' is kinda terrible? but i really like the name 'surf nyc'

huh

opinions, ive got em

have been seeing a lot tees with contrast pockets, that's cool i guess

i guess pocket tees confuse me a little, because the pocket is not practical at all and practicality is a value that pockets usually express in a garment?? idk.

they are only practical if they have a protector

but if pockets are gonna be a thing for a while we may as well reinvent the pocket protector while we're at it

we can use ~repurposed deadstock materials~ and have ~hand crafted quality~

we can make ~a million blog dollars~

i use my pocket for a lil notebook sometimes

but cmon its the fall fashion thread why are we talking about practicality

i suppose the practical purpose of the pocket tee is to add a lil bit of flair w/out having to put a huge skull tattoo print on the ass part

fashion sucks imo

i keep my current gen white iphone in the front pocket of my pocket tees

pocket tees are great at covering up one giant nipple
you can use your messenger bag strap to shield the other one

otherwise why have a pocket on the front of your tshirt is all i'm saying

tbrr i think man-boobs tend to prohibit the use and appreciation of tee pockets ;_;

i mean my manboobs are relatively small and pert but still there they are :\

^^ i collect these so it's not so much a fall staple as a year-round staple for me but i wanted to post my swag (not that kind of swag)

is there an "ebay / secondhand swag" thread on i love style? sort of a bragging thread for cheap scores?

start one!

i like it!

dar1a g would own that thread!

admittedly i am not in love with the persistent no-break / 2 in. cuff trend that is STILL going on but otherwise the lookbook is major fall fashion boners, for me anyway

yeah roll the cuff down and that outfit is A+

fashuns!!

all fair isle everything

<3 those but what would you ever wear them with

NOOOOOOOOOOOO

shetland is better

you would wear them with straight leg pants so that they peek out

i think they would look good with like, olive green officer pants, a white shirt and a grey cable-knit cardigan. or like, very dark jeans and a big fuzzy sweater.

like fair isle can be very nice, but i think plain shetland will look better longer and doesn't scream *trend*

anyway that's my plan for the season, on the lookout for something like this that is lasting quality but is not egregious expensive (under $250?). i think i could go land's end or ll bean for under $100 but i'm not convinced that stuffs not made in sweatshops. would be great to find a vintage piece but wool doesn't do so good in california.

oops that's the hurling sweater not the shetland, but there's a shetland crewneck in the mix too

this might actually be my best option, though it is more than i can really spend right now: http://jpressonline.com/sweaters_shaggy_dog_detail.php?id=PLAINM727NAV
