HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part IV (starting May 2014)

[ppk]

My, that is quite a funk fest you have there. Put it together on a dare? That outfit is nothing like Acute Style would wear, nothing at all, why did you think that? But then you don't want to copy others you want your own style and someday it may drift your way until then maybe consider easing up on poking around in your closet with the lights off and just grabbing at stuff.

Wow! You're a complete idiot, aren't you? You should delete your account and meditate on not being a flaming a*hole.

Whoa, didn't quite expect that reaction.

However, your reasonable reply has made me change my mind regarding your attire. I now think it's the tops and hope you will give me a second chance at continuing my thirteen years here for I would hate to be without a forum, living on the street and critiquing only the clothes of unknown passers by.

I'd rather jump off a bridge than be caught taking fit pics in public...

You forget about this time?

The fact that you've been here for thirteen years acting like a sniveling, petulant brat is a credit to the tolerance of the members of this platform.

There are many here who have offered constructive criticism. I've learned a great deal from them on this journey and they have helped me develop and grow my style.

I personally don't care what a blathering idiot like you does or does not do.

Buh-bye.

OK, so you took one babystep. Instead of the usual tie knot, shirt collar, top lapel and bottom of chin, you have now zoomed out to include 1 roll-button hole!

Next step -- whole chin, and maybe shoulders of suit jacket also? At this rate we'll be at full-body shot by next Christmas.

You are my brother from another mother. To my family, Drake's, Charvet and Zilli mean nothing! If asked, they'd guess 7-fold is some sort of yoga move.
We belong in the 20th century, when people got silk ties for Christmas.
This year I got a sarong and a shaving brush. Not sure about the sarong, but my family trying to tell me something with the brush.

You might as well request a dick pic lol. You're as liable to get that as what you're asking for

Taken yesterday, but it's what I'm wearing as I type.

Already introduced myself in the introductions thread .

Many apologies if I've posted in the wrong thread, it's my first time here .

My, that is quite a critique you have there. Put it together on a need to feel superior? You know, you've been around here long enough to be a sock puppet.

Give the below thread a try. It leans more casual, whereas this is something approximating a stab at more "formal" attire...

WAYWRN: Classic Menswear, Casual Style

Nice sweaters in the outfits above. I think they would look much better with creased trousers.

Meet some friends this evening.
But not for dinner, only to have a drink.

Christmas Day mass (I almost sound devout lol), so figured to use some color...think the tie is about old enough for first communion...

Running around with the kids I simply had no time to take a good photo for everyone here, was hoping to get a nice critique of the fit, particularly the pants came out nice with the suspenders. Either way:

- Attolini sport coat
- Brooks Brothers vest (perhaps too high cut? more of a cardigan style would be better?)
- Drakes white OCBD
- E Marinella maccelsfield green tie
- Bills blackwatch tartan wool pants
- Bresciani navy/red OTC socks
- Alden LHS cordovan loafers

Would someone be willing to give a critique (if any) on this look? I was basing it off of this outfit I saw

Basically the same except:
* No belt cause suspenders and vest
* Regular sport coat instead of overcoat cause inside
* Green tie cause happy holidays
* OCBD instead of dress shirt because it's a more casual look for a more casual event

If I had to nitpick or what feels off about my look is (and maybe it really is just a bad photo with bad lighting and angles):

* I might need much fuller, much wider leg pants. If you can see (yes I know the picture is not well lit) the pants compared to the SC it looks very top-heavy. I'm a 56/46 jacket and a 33 waist which is a pretty severe drop. I tried wearing 36 pants to accommodate the thighs and suspenders on a Bill's Khakis wool pant, and Bill's are generally known for generous room. Still, maybe it's the photo angle but it looks very top-heavy still. Even with an unstructured italian SC it still looks... off?
* Maybe the OCBD was the wrong move. The collar is unlined and looks a bit too casual under that SC. Also the collar height is kind of low, especially when worn with a tie, and it looks like the SC is eating the shirt, plus I have a really long neck which isn't helping with this shirt. I think this shirt shows me I need to keep it for casual occasions only even if I'm going for an ivy look. And I need shirts with much taller collars (any suggestions)?
* Is this sleeveless cardigan cut weird? It looks like the button stance is too high and should be a few inches lower...

Pants are definitely too narrow. Wearing a cardigan will also bulk up your upper body.

Little brother, I know it's only been a day, but there has been no progress. Not good!

No one is asking you to post anything obscene.

There are many full-body posts here. Just scroll up to see the fantastic pics from that gentleman from Southern Germany, all dashing in his grey chalkstripes! Or the pics of the gent in the cardigan and coat.

But what of your shoes? What about your pants? And belt? Or was it braces?

You must have looked quite the litte cherub at Christmas Mass -- all suited up with that candy-cane pocket handkerchief -- your sweet voice rising on high...

Glory to the New-born King!"

thought I’d try my hand at patterns, still deciding if the sportcoat/sweater look is something I’m into
