I see this toddler silhouette a lot on here. I don’t get it as an aesthetic choice for an adult, but it is adorable I guess.

Should lean in more and swap the boots for booties.

I would STILL wear foo’s fit over Bart’s

idk gun to my head I would wear foo fits over bart's 100% of the time

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).

Not trying to further bash you, but didn’t you spend all this money on your sweatpant fit? You could’ve simply gone to Uniqlo if you wanted to look like a dude going to my local Planet Fitness for the first time.

You’re not standing out with that fit anymore than the guys you’re calling out, and maybe that’s your intention, but I do think you should size up on the shirt. You’re a smaller guy with very little shape on your torso, so why emphasize that?

Bashing other posters by saying they shop at nmwa to look basic while posting a fit wearing the merz b white t sold by nmwa is very Foo.

Btw, I like your neon blue phone case. Very not childish.

If you think they look just like plain vanilla sweatpants, then I can’t help. One can similarly dismiss any refined or evolved version of a thing.

I am playing around with the shirt. But I do like the tighter shirt in combination. It tucks in super clean.

I am not bashing other posters for shopping at NMWA. I am bashing calling something “basic” as if that is a bad thing and criticizing folks for confusing brand / vendor credibility for style. Reading comprehension.

That photo of me is from 7 years ago.

I didn’t say the other poster looked like a toddler. I said he was wearing a toddler silhouette.

I’m not sure that I even understand this comment. The proportions of this are not dissimilar to 80’s Armani. I mean, I like the silhouette of really voluminous pants - they remind me of old aikido uniforms, but this is not even that. The proportions are close to classic.

Are those the Nonnative by Officine Generale side zip boots from a while back? Man, I still kick myself for not having bought a pair then.

It’s the combination of voluminous pants that taper sharply at the ankle with a top that bellows outward at the torso. Gives a grown man the shape of a toddler in play clothes.

Except that the shirt is pretty square cut and the pants are not voluminous by 2024 standards, nor that tapered by the same standards. I mean, if they were jogger fit pants, maybe? Or maybe if everything were very oversized? It’s just a bit of a confusing comment to me. I mean, you’re of course entitled to your opinion, but in general, even when I disagree, I get what you’re getting at. “Toddler silhouette?” I squinted and looked sideways and just didn’t really get it.

I am… criticizing folks for confusing brand / vendor credibility for style.

I seriously think you are engaging in projection here, man. One thing that really stands out to me is that you seem to equate $$$$$ with style and that you essentially treat yourself as though you are a mannequin. If you put expensive clothes on your body, then you are stylish, right? Hell, I even remember your old suit fits where your pose literally made you look like a mannequin.
