The Style Thread


Scorcheddd

Recommended Posts

My own self, or at least what I think I project, is a general sense of indifference in my looks and a few other things. If I had a wardrobe of formal wear I would look through it more, if just to find the things that I wouldn't mind do regular things in.

Indifference is a style in its own right as well if you ask me.

 

I find most people try to pick something that will fit with whatever their peer group is, some people do their own thing though, and the rest become hipsters.

 

The best example of doing your own thing I know of was a guy who always wore a top hat. He was also an incredible accordion player with enough skill that I don't think anyone ever gave him shit over it. A brilliant example of how people will let you get away with a lot of stuff if you have mind blowing talent at something (that other people enjoy seeing) to back it up.

Well, when I was 14 I didn't think about clothing either. But when I got 16 and changed schools, damn... Never even thought I'd pay that much attention to clothes. Partly, because my new schoold doesn't allow sweaters with hoods for example, a bit formal wear is required.

But as you get older, you really start to think about it and make conscious decisions. First impression is based quite much on clothing.

So I've noticed this thread's regulars all follow similar trends.

 

RPG is constantly dealing with psycho exes.

Muggi reminds us of the joys of polygamy.

Saq is totally oblivious to how much chicks dig him.

I strike out every other week.

Kalphite wages a war against the friend zone.

Randox pretty much stays rational.

Etc, etc

You do realize there is a contradiction inherent to this statement, right? You want to look like you don't want to look like anything. It would be more accurate to say you want to dress the way you usually do, which is the way your friends know you; what this projects (probably and according to you) is a down-to-earth, unpretentious personality. There's no way not to say something because of the way you dress, and therefore there's no way you could ever not care about the way you dress. In general, I think it's actually quite ridiculous to pretend you don't care what other people think of you--if anything, you don't care what people other than your friends think, but you definitely care about what they think.

 

Formalwear is black tie and white tie. I don't think you would wear patent leather shoes oxfords (or worse, opera pumps) all the time. There are pretty much no variations in those dress codes, especially white tie.

2 oxford cloth button downs, one pink and one white.

About time eh? For the other shirts, what made-to-measure company did you go with, and how's the fit?

Anyone rocking 5 panel caps?

 

yup.

at least the obey logo is subtle. looking to buy more soon, it's too bad so many decent 5 panels are so pricey.

 

I'm liking the pattern design on that cap.

 

This is another cap i also have my eyes on -

About time indeed. The other shirts were from tailors within India. Fit through the body is a great. Shoulders slightly too big, and the collar is good. Sleeve length is so perfect, I can't even imagine it on my gangly arms. It is essentially a mtm shirt, just with hand measurements. Cost $30NZD, or about $25USD

Cool. I'll probably buy some basics from Cottonwork if I ever get around to measuring myself; apparently their fabrics are near-bulletproof.

I bought a $140 pair of Clarke's for work in June last year. They've already fallen apart, any ideas as to what shoes I can get that won't fall apart so quickly? I don't care about the fashion, just it being comfortable.

 

The shoes usually spend an hour or so drenched in water, which is I guess what made them fall apart.

 

Also, I need more casual shoes, I have a pair of desert boots and Converse but haven't found anything else which I like.

Thoughts on long-sleeved shirts with rolled-up sleeves vs. short sleeved shirts? The former seems to look better to me, but the latter can often be cheaper and feel nicer during the summer.

You might think it looks better, but it really doesn't. Just wear short sleeves if you want short sleeves.

We're talking shirts as in button-ups? If so, yeah I think it's a great look. I do it all the time, especially when it's warm out. I'm not a fan of short sleeve shirts, I do have a couple, but I would never wear them in a professional setting. In a casual setting among friends and such, I think they're ok. It really comes down to personal preference. If you like them, wear them. Who gives a [bleep].

So long as the sleeves aren't super-wide (nor super-tight), short sleeves are okay, but I agree that long sleeves rolled up look nicer.

@jimmy: Get a pair of rubber boots and a new pair of desert boots?

What do you do? This makes no sense. Maybe you could buy blundstones and use a ton of mink oil on them.

I work with seafood, in a very very big grocery store. Everyone has to wear leather shoes. I guess I could just buy a $50-80 pair every 6 months or so
