The Official Dieworkwear Appreciation Thread

Yeah, the idea that Craig's overly slim-fitting suits is an intentional wardrobe decision seems a bit far-fetched. The fact that James Bond stans are always drooling over his fits seems to confirm that.

I think interviews with the costume designer does state the suits were supposed to be form fitting like a superhero suit.

In contrast, some properly cut trousers, and great style as well.

2. King/prince (who really cares?) of Spain's fit is...eh? No doubt the quality is top class...but the idea that the look itself is head and shoulders above the normies is silly.

I fully agree with this. I saw the pictures but still didn't understand what was so amazing about that jacket.

But on the plus side, his date is over eighteen, so that counts for something.

Not bad, but he falls into the same harumph, harumph, altheisure is slobwear traps as conservative writers, and frankly, I think that he is off base about the Peaky Blinders. The guys who adopt that undercut AND wear the puffers are probably more the natural heirs to the Blinders, who did not fit into "polite society", than guys who would dress like the Peaky Blinders.

Also, the piece is so political and reductivist that it takes the idiosyncratic out of style and fashion. Sometimes, you want to wear a leather jacket and dress all in black because you saw some cool old pictures of Mick Jagger and Johnny Cash, and that's it.

I think that the piece suffers from too much thesis statement.

This is correct

Nothing that strikes for being sharp and flamboyant, rather something relaxed and subdued. An unobtrusive and unspectacular look, but I can understand why Derek praises it in so high tones: it's quintessentially classic.

The crossovers continue… my favorite food antagonist hates my favorite fashion antagonist. I’m secretly hoping for a cage match…
