another nice "brooklyn we go hard" one (awful brand name) - considering this for fun shirt dress-coded wedding.

i also quite like this, from same store, bit more something i'd wear under other stuff though. (this is kinda my approach to fun shirts generally.

sorry didn't realise how massive they'd be.
my thoughts exactly before I read your comment on the second one. i like the first one a lot.
i think maybe it's harder for a fun shirt to pull off the full-length sleeves, especially because it's a look associated with more formal wear. the second one could almost be pulled off, but it has an almost multicoloured polystyrene look going on that is texturally off-putting. wld wear w/the right kind of blazer tho.
― bi goose aka the skein divider (qiqing), Wednesday, 24 July 2013 23:10 (ten years ago) link
I prefer long-sleeves for pretty much everything (and you can roll up the sleeves!), only reason I wouldn't wear the second one is that it's tonally quite dark and I know that doesn't suit me - it is very nice though, pretty Liberty-ish.
In any case, "Men of ILX" is a very good name for a shop.
― wakaflockinihilipilification (seandalai), Wednesday, 24 July 2013 23:29 (ten years ago) link
I prefer long sleeves too, but rolling up the sleeves isn't always going to be a good look or option. sometimes the problem is that there's too much material, too much fun. the shorter sleeved fun shirts also tend to be 'cuffed' mid-bicep, which unless you're swole makes for a more apt casual look than you would get from an elbow-rolled long sleeve. imo, also really depends on the shirt, body shape, cut, climate etc. kinda hard not to come off like a pedantic styleforum asshole in this thread. just waiting for elmo et al to swoop.

i saw a man at dinner tonight whose biceps were straining the cuffs of his short sleeve chambray, he was indeed very handsome, then i got dizzy and passed out in my grits
no but i dig short-sleeves for the most part but i wear long sleeves most of the time & cuff when needed. i don't like a lot of fussy epaulets or military details or cuff buttons or what have you, which show up on a lot of dudes s/s button shirts i feel? i feel like white mormon s/s shirt has a distinct 'nasa control room' charm if done well.
i like that first one but probly wouldn't wear it. the 2nd one, the l/s floral there is pretty great. if i wore it i would probably go for the full clown and pair it with a tartan necktie because i'm fuckin classy

i feel like long sleeve shirts of this type that are not legit fun tend to be a bit paul smithy :-(
― caek, Thursday, 25 July 2013 05:53 (ten years ago) link
I know what you mean, a bit Jonathan Ross. But it can be done. Some of the Liberty print shirts are amazing IMO, the detailing is cool and they have a really ancient vintage feel. Got a really nice one in their sale.

i kinda want a pair of fun trousers - can't find one to suit the image in my mind tho, plus most "slim fit" trousers are like clown pants on me so my options are probably limited.

slightly off topic but like, do any of you even wear hats? in summer i mean? i burn a bit through my hair and so i should, but i really can't find a hat that i don't hate.
― Shamrock Shoe (LocalGarda), Thursday, 25 July 2013 12:06 (ten years ago) link
I have a fun £2 hat with a pink floral pattern (probably a bucket hat, sorry) that I wear to weddings/black tie events (ok, I admit I'm that guy) but I don't know how to wear hats in a serious way.

paul smith shirts, as worn by british tv presenters ca. 2002, and every dutch office professional i've ever met (no idea how the dutch aren't a fashion laughing stock to the same extent as germans)
