Agreeable Menswear Post Of The Day

[Dropbear]

You missed out the Moldy Figs.

You do have to be careful with tweeds and ties with motifs of pheasants and hunting dogs whilst around town when it's not the tweed run.

Good to know! One must also be careful of blood spatters in your Kojima selvedge line when kicking in the heads of hippies.

See Thruth : a true meeting of the minds and cross pollination of #menswear and #SWD !

No and nor is wearing Dr Marten's boots. But it is an unwritten truth, that only three types of persons sport turn-ups, skin heads, greasers before them and members of Dexy's Midnight Runners in 1982.

Don't forget the Mods. Levis always had a turn up.

Jeans and sartorial jackets dont work together. Jeans are workwear. Pair it with T-Shirts, flanell shirts, Polos or knitwear.

I guess I am a skinhead then by your definition.

Yes. I just declared as a skinhead after being educated by the SWD savant

To be fair, I may be the Pimpernel Smith of SWD commenting on menswear.

Not good. None of them. Upper part ok for itself, lower part ok. But not the combination. And the last one has hard jeans and sheux vibes

I like the top one.

There is a long thread of SF with people posting pics of SCs with jeans. Proving the point that it often doesn’t work but sometimes does (especially with more casual tweeds, knitwear or Oxford cloth paired with dark denim).

Never found a single one who looks good

Never found a single one who looks good TO ME

There, I fixed it for you.

You need to learn a lot

I think you are on the money in 99.999% of cases. Definitely not jeans like that with that jacket.

Please illuminate me, oh fearless, all-knowing God of Style

I think you have just given ample evidence why Abraxas is right.

We had already established you will forever suffer the lack of common sense the world around you exhibits when getting dressed. The lack of standards infuriate you, and if only Kim Jong Un was a slightly better dresser, you’d be moving to North Korea, partnering with him, and ruling its people with an Iron Fist - everyone would dress to your taste and bow to your unquestionable elegance.

Now I want to hear what his story is.

No. It doesn't quite work like that.

There's nothing wrong with people dressing like garbage collectors who have put together an outfit from the skip, but it is advisable to be aware that this doesn't mean that you are well dressed.

 

[belinmad]

No. It doesn't quite work like that.

There's nothing wrong with people dressing like garbage collectors who have put together an outfit from the skip, but it is advisable to be aware that this doesn't mean that you are well dressed, at least according to my pompous self-sense of style.

There, I fixed it for you

It's the Hill Street's Blues undercover cop look with added sprezza', a cross between an overweight Jimmy ''Popeye'' Doyle on a two week stake out and Oscar from Sesame Street:

Culminating in the style of that dude from Hill Street Blues, except he was on a diet of 24 hour ration packets.

There should be an age limit on blue denim jeans. On black jeans, I think you can add twenty years to the age limit. I haven't worn black jeans in 20 years, but I have considered it. Blue denim? No way, even Jeremy Clarkson can no longer pull it off.

 

[Panama]

There, I fixed it for you

Didn't your mother teach you to play with other children?

 

[abraxas]

Never black Jeans

 

[Panama]

Never black Jeans

You have to provide a reason why.

Haha. Very true.

 

[belinmad]

I was too busy playing with your mother. If you know what I mean.

 

[Panama]

We can add Necrophilia to your interests...

Dreadful...

 

[abraxas]

You can do it as a Hells Angel, a Goth, a Metalhead, whatever. Just dont do it for looking good. There are few reasons to wear black: white tie, black tie, funeral, for not taking attention. White and black are no good colors to pair it with skincolor. It makes you pale.

 

[belinmad]

But you should see how stylish I am at it.
Always wearing denim and tweed for the occasion. Oh, and no socks.

A good demonstration of the correlation between being ill-mannered and having faulty dress-sense? Possibly.

You exclude a middle age crisis, when some succumb to the Prada boy colour scheme despite their pasty skin and in the hope that black will cover a multitude of diabetes causing weight gains.

I think that explains it very well.

Well at least it's a step up from accosting animals.

Maybe. Another option is that I dont carry around like a pompous asshole thinking I am the end-all-be-all of Style, and instead enjoy playing with it? Just a thought.

Seriously though - conversations are much more enjoyable and better mannered when you caveat pompous generalizations with a healthy “In my humble opinion”. Try it. Might find it works wonders for you.

I’ll take your word for it.

What about mustard or red?

Yes. It is hard to rule out unfortunate physical limitations and flaws.
