HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part III

[Ebonyman]



I believe this is quote-worthy for a few of reasons.

1) I've learned so much from this site, it isn't quantifiable verbally. The most satisfying thing I've realized here, is what I really like on me; what MY style is. I think that is really the essence of being a member here (at least for me it is).
2) When I look at my closet now, there are very few items that don't fit the way I'd like. Those items are heading to the tailor this summer though in preparation for Fall/Winter.
3) When other people have "misses" with their fits, it helps me look at what I do and helps with my progression.
4) Watching other members progress is one of the coolest aspects of this community. Sure there are drama queens, red-asses, and fragile egos here, but there are some guys that have made excellent progress developing their own style. This can only come from good feedback and taking it to heart. InStitches, Timotune, and mktitsworth come to mind right away. I bet one day, we'll even see Stitches with a PS...one day.
5) I came here initially because I started caring about how I presented myself in and outside of my career. I feel like I've come a long toward that goal, and have progressed to where I'm proud to have found my groove sartorially, even though I still have plenty of progression left. Which is why I still come here and see what the other members are wearing.
6) The last, and by far the most important thing I have learned is that Derek is a phenomenal kisser. Seriously...very good...with a tender touch...and stuff.

Thanks for your post Ebonyman, I appreciated reading it.

^^^ +100! (except maybe the kissy part, LOL)

I haven't posted fits very much, but thought I'd post this outfit I'm wearing today in order to attend my wife's graduation ceremony. She's receiving her second masters in education today. Since it's going to be 1,000 degrees, I broke out the seersucker!

I apologize in advance that the pics are of poor quality. The shoes are tan double monks.

Who disturbs my slumber!?

After looking at Butler's pics, I wonder why I even get out of bed in the morning.

I'll be honest, with no disrespect to Butler intended, but I didn't care for it. It's all kind of monotone. Each piece melts into everything else for me. Me wants color!!! Obviously I'm not the best dressed person here by a long shot, but that's my opinion.

 

[Caustic Man]

Spectacular.

Spectacular.

thanks man.. Ihear u on the monotone. There's something about gray jackets, Acc to Foo 'they arguably shouldnt exist', and no doubt they hard to pair rite. Cant arguewith Buitlers incredible tailoring tho

What makes Butler's most recent outfit so great is the fit and the textures going on. I don't mind monochrome when it's done right, and his is definitely done right.

judging from the pics, i dont think spoo gives a **** what you think about his green/ivory/white.

But that's not the point, is it? I'm sure the guys over at SC & D don't give a **** either, but they still look bad.

Re Butler:

I wouldn't describe it as monotone at all, but that's just me. In my book it's yet another example of the mans incredible eye for color, texture, coordination, fit, etc. etc..... ,

Another fit using the same Seersucker as in the previous picture. Suit is PRL

 

[An Acute Style]

This thread is a public discussion, which means that both those who post their fits and those who make comments are doing so for a wider audience than just themselves or one other person. And, BTW, it's because Spoo so often nails it, that it's worth pointing out when he doesn't. Otherwise we just end up with a a series of fawning, inane, back-slapping comments which have no value in helping anyone dress better. And that is the point, isn't it?

Of course, there are some fits you just can't say anything exept 'wow' to - like Butler's last fit.

Ditched the button down for a t (oh the horror the horror). WIll likely get crushed for this but thought the T worked ok with the linen jacket showcased based on the 90+ temps in NYC today.
Worn with some white linen trousers and KW loafers.
