I’m curious to learn how folks process this.

You look good to me, but I’m not sure I get any reading on style. Seems like a very strong “regular dude” outfit, but is it aesthetically noteworthy? Genuine inquiry.

I will certainly say: the denim jacket fits you really nicely. Combined with the slim (skinny even?) pants, you manage to cut a very classically pleasing male silhouette that goes way beyond how an actual “regular dude” would do it.

Yeah, again, I don’t know why this concept finds so much hostility here. Seems pretty basic to me.
It’s exactly because I find it basic that there is nothing to discuss, and even if it’s expensive clothing, it doesn’t change the fact it still looks very basic.
And I am sorry (got nothing against you) but in both case, I don’t think it looks flattering on you. More balanced outfits would look better.

Yes you’re right that balancing a loose/fitted things can be good, but this isn’t. The shirt is too small for this.
At the end of the day you’re wearing an ill fitting white tee and some grey sweats. There’s nothing interesting about any of it and it’s not flattering, and it’s not cool, so there doesn’t look like there is anything deliberate about it to save anything.
I understand what you’re saying about balancing loose and fitted/slim but there is zero balance in this fit.
Get that half sleeve FoG tee you have and tuck it in to the sweats and maybe roll the sleeves and it would at least look intentional and maybe work.

What’s wrong with “basic”?

This is why you guys have developed a penchant for anything with patchwork and whatever-the-f*ck this is:

You’ve confused complexity, strangeness, and forum brand cred for having style. Most of the fits here are like the above (tragically ugly) or mid-beyond-belief (could have copied page 32 from the LL Bean catalogue for $120 all-in but instead bought a bunch of stuff on sale from NMWA for 10x to look exactly the same).

Perhaps you think there's nothing worth discussing about the fit itself, which is fine, but if you like discussion Foo posting is absolutely the best thing to happen to this thread in a long time.
