Sick. I'm liking your hair and the pants.

White socks always a good choice

 

[conceptionist]

thanks.
hard to tell from pic maybe, but my hair is pretty much cut like this

Socks are actually a light beige, but a white pair would work equally well for the aesthetic.

What sugar said... but also I really don't care what people on SF or the internets think nearly as much as IRL. So SF's reaction is not that important, has little to do with how good your outfit looks to most average folks, and thus pasteurization shouldn't worry too much about posting pics here because the feedback, while it can be good, may not correlate with his reality.

As a result of that, I think looks here that get a lot of thumbs and appreciation may not get the same kind of appreciation IRL, in fact maybe the opposite in some cases.

I don't agree with this statement. With the exception of some of the schneider/goth ninja fits that are a direct appeal to forum tastes, well-dressed is well-dressed. People won't notice if you dress like a slob because most do, but they will notice if you consistently look good.

The average person cares much less about how you dress than you do. Provided you're not wearing a DvN paisley suit to meet your stodgy accounting firm's CEO it's unlikely how you're dressed will draw more than a second glance

In my experience wearing Dries anywhere will get you a second glance.

I think I've said this plenty of times (to be completely honest) one of the things that draws me to Margiela is the mostly classic styles with small little awesome changes that I won't hate when I'm 35

I think we have plenty of examples from the older gents in this forum wearing cool ****, but I don't know what I would do with a collection of Rick in my late 30's. I know I know Kunk et al, but this requires a more "normal" wardrobe for work and or family trips type stuff. I like having one set of wears that is normal wearable enough for all occasions. I won't ever escape my Cuban culture so I've made peace with this

Basically I'm saying I like to have a middle ground. I also live in wastelands of huge linen pants and the jacket shorts combo. In my part of the caribbean you can walk around shirtless anywhere you want before that is brought up

Protip from a guy I met in Palm Beach. Millionaires don't own yachts, billionaires do

I try to do this, too, although in a different way than you. One of the coolest things about Margiela is that the clothes are intentionally anachronistic and thus can't really go out of style - you can have a '90s-cut blazer with 2014 tailoring paired with a '70's collar shirt and '80's acid-wash jeans and it looks current (but not).

Another terrible photo... All Cabourn, with Hill Side scarf and Wolverine shoes...

Those jeans look way too tight to me, good fit on the TOJ though

 

[conceptionist]

Jeans are a bit tight and I would wear the scarf in another way. Maybe just wrap it around your neck. Looks a bit feminine and out of place in relation to the rest of the fit.

Everything else seems spot on.

 

[notwithit]

I disagree about the scarf, maybe because that's how I usually wear them.

Agreed that the jeans are a little snug but the ToJ is money.

 

[Caveat]

It's very much a different style than I like, or would wear. To me the TOJ sleeves are too short, the jeans are too tight, and the scarf is too short and tight. But maybe they all just go together like that and that's the look you're going for, in which case I get it. Hair looks really good, and I can't believe I'm saying this because I usually despise those types of earrings on guys, but they kind of work with the style you have going.

 

[Jbravo]

iamcyborg, I dig your fit, scarf and jeans included. The only thing that irritates the eye is the mess in your closet, but that's a minor issue.

 

[in stitches]

maybe cuz so much of MC unreasonably hates anything red and i feel the need to buck, i like tony's red tee.

 

[pasteurisation]

The fit is clean. I like it a lot. I'm an average guy in north america though.

Ideally I'd have something with a bit more room in the thigh, still looking for that perfect pair of jeans though.

ToJ sleeves are definitely a bit too short, but the jumper usually ends up going past it and I quite like the way that ends up looking. Isn't shown in that photo though Ears were pierced straight to 6mm with biopsy punches and subsequently stretched to 8mm so they're not going anywhere!

It's a pretty thin scarf so ends up not looking like much if it's not wrapped that way.



I've put an order in earlier today for an 80 x 40" merino scarf from Luxire which should be a bit nicer.


Thanks for comments everyone, appreciate it!
