Saint Laurent Paris - Official Thread.

[Isolar]

So, after all the talk of sunglasses on here recently, I felt like adding a pair to my go-to choice, the Tom Ford Campbell. On a whim, I checked out the selection at my optometrist while picking up lenses, and after trying on a few pairs, I fell for the SL51 Slim in black. They are exactly what I was looking for, a classic all-around pair that at the same time, aren't too plain. After studying them at home, I love them even more. The proportions are perfect, to my eyes. Plus I saved 10% as a contact lens customer.

The other pair I initially considered were the Devon model, and while I liked them, they sat way too high on my face and were generally a bit too large for me.

Here's some pics. Apologies in advance for looking a bit disheveled, I've had a long day. Enjoy:

@ohyehhh Wasn't the strap "fixed" for FW16? Not sure it really qualifies as a problem, so to speak, but I agree, it looks better with the tighter strap. I got the SS16 pair in tobacco, and while it doesn't bother me THAT much, I wouldn't mind having the straps a bit tighter and higher. It doesn't bother me enough to sell them though, and I'm usually a stickler for details like that.

@Death24xASecond Not necessarily disagreeing with you, but didn't Kanye wear tan Wyatts to the Met ball a few years back? That's about as dressy an occasion as exists.

I'm thinking of picking up a pair of Nut Suede Wyatts over the Cigars. I like the lighter shade of Cigar but it seems to be sold out everywhere online, at least in my size. Someone convince me to just pull the trigger on the Nut suedes.

Nothing about this look is dressy. Unless you're getting dressed up for a Silencio Night Club pop up in Marfa Texas

****, why do I remember him wearing them with a tuxedo jacket. I must be thinking of someone else. Mea culpa.

@Isolar because you just proved @Death24xASecond point to be exactly right lmfao. He did wear SLP Hedi 30 Chelseas with a tuxedo but the BLACK suede version...

Nah. I stand by the fact that they can be dressed up.

Exhibit A:

And those are harness Wyatts, which are even harder to dress up.

 

[Death24xASecond]

I'm in the museum/academe world so: the Met gala for celebrities is no holds barred. You can wear whatever you like, as outrageous as you like. Most people prefer to keep it classy but there's no real dress code (except for the plebs lol). And yeah the pic above this post is cool, but the brown *really* stands out and (again, IMHO) not in a good way. Still, I recognize SLP is kind of street-casual-formal so it works on the SLP runway.

That doesn't look good at all lol. The boots clash pretty badly against the rest of the outfit.

I think that's the point...

They clash because they look like golf clubs.

If the boots were black suede then the whole outfit will lack a center of attention because none of the pieces will stand out

 

[needhelp123]

honestly i like all black look with brown suede boots, i do that myself

 

[onlyslp]

that would look fine too depends on your mood of the day, but I just feel that sometimes adding an item that clashes with the whole outfit creates a more effortless and casual feel than if you try to put on all items with the same color
