The What Are You Wearing Today (WAYWT) Discussion Thread, Part II

[hmtwrk]

I mean I'm sure you're right, and lots of people try this stuff and stop, but I don't see much harm in trying. Actually I have a personal interest in things that are more dress-like and less masculine, and this kind of aesthetic feels like a good starting point as opposed to an end point for me. Gotta start somewhere in any exploration, I'm aware that what I feel now is likely to be completely changed, that's okay with me.

Also I kinda liked the way the sleeve/tucking worked but I guess that's idk, pretentious? The SWD version of "sprezz"?

judging from your other pictures i think you should "learn to walk" before you "try to run". no offense or anything, but you don't seem to have a sense of personal style or identity yet and what you're trying to do looks extremely forced and awkwardly try-hard. i think your first step should be trying to put together some coherent looks you feel comfortable in, and expresses your perspective on the world instead of trying to shoot for an arbitrary end-goal such as of "exiled wandering drunken street samurai". you admitted that's likely to change anyway.

getting basics that fit well and compliment you would be my advice. if you're looking for exploration, why not go out there and try on 10 pairs of jeans until you find a pair you really like? find some sneakers and boots to match? find a nice fitting jacket, etc. you get the point.

That feels like a lot of hand-wringing and jumping-to-conclusions based on that one photo.

 

[hmtwrk]

not just that one photo... going off his post history.

I've worn other clothes between those you know :/

I'll post another fit later and hope to see if your mind can be changed, but I hope you'd judge me going forward.

Nice one, Benes. One of my favs from you. Love those boots, too. So smooth.

:foo:

Bootcut jeans are pretty hard to pull off with boots; without them, they pretty much always look bad. The late-00's-mall-brand distressing job doesn't help, either.

Are these your Margiela boots and suit Benes? After a lot of trial and error I can tell you that (in my opinion) the casual suit look needs a T that is less sloppy and loose and more...is structured the word? Throw a less sloppy white T on that and you have the look that I use a lot

Thanks. I dig them both. Love the light fabric of the jacket and the Left Field tees are pretty high quality and U.S. made.

Absolute newb's 1st (official) entry. I welcome any feedback as I am here to learn.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

The shirt looks a little tight, IMO. Brad's right about the jeans.

Fok put up a special one off post on sneakers for people who are usually boot people. Might be worth a look for some basic sneaker options.

Potentially check these out: http://www.kentwang.com/shoes?cat=74

The Noodles - Taper the jeans from the knee down. If you're going to wear such a snug t-shirt you need more definition. Not meant as an insult, just saying a little gym action would probably go a long way there

Really digging this look:

I feel I need a more faded Margiela jacket, mine is too clean. Not necessarily db'd or wide lapels just less clean
