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

i think i might get a cap

what kind of cap

like a beanie or a ballcap?

will you wear the cap on top of the tophat or

a ballcap

fair isle top hat

to be worn with my top hat yes

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.

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

aha that makes sense laurel. i should have known j crew was too cheap to make these sleeves longer.

the ribbed cuff is nice i think

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.

bought this aforementioned sweater:

thrifted sweaters have been my thing for something like 12 years now and I always roll them sleeves

i bought the norse projects shirt jacket max posted, sorry max you can't buy it now.

im focusing on my cap project right now

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 scarf
a 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 gloves
a 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.

I think I am stealing your orange scarf idea, LG!

haha golf detective fashion :) <3

i bought a lovely dark brown vintage fur collar yesterday and i love it

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!

lots of tartans, btw

i bought a pair of mustard colored leather loafers i think i posted abt it in the shoe thread

kinda like the bright colours in winter thing.

velveeta pants

bought some acne chinos this weekend w/ my birthday money

happy belated birthday, max

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.

im dressed pretty well this fall tbh

still need some new sweaters though

carrot cut is terrible. makes you look like you have a fat arse or nappy.
