Men, dress more like Jarvis Cocker.

[Merciel]

I'm not sure how other girls can stand wearing clothing this obviously uncomfortable on a regular basis.

If nothing else, this thread reassures me that it's a problem both genders will face in the coming age.

Gender equality!

i'm all for looking sharp (sth like gossling in that pic), if you can afford it, but i'm way too conformist to wear most of the stuff posted in this thread

i guess i get it, if you're in your early 20s and living in a metropolis you might wanna stand out from the crowd, but i'm in my early 30s and living on a rock in the Mediterranean. ironically, i think i hate boat shoes

also, i'm like 30-35 pounds overweight and have pretty broad shoulders, so it's not like i can wear anything i want

if i lived in the US i'd probably shop most of my stuff from J Crew. maybe i could buy the franchise rights for Cyprus and get rich?

i think this sea bluff madras is the most comfortable thing i've ever worn

[mikey]

are there any good examples of male layering in the summer?

[jbiz]

like blazer/sportcoat layering?

[mikey]

it's just so fucking hot in the summer

[jbiz]

yeah. i guess that's why the most you'll see is lightweight fabrics like madras/linen with blazers.

i guess this my favorite style blog at the moment http://streetetiquette.com/

the dudes behind it tend to look kinda smarmy in alot of their style shots, but i appreciate their posts nonetheless

This blog is seriously awesome, thanks!

john varvatos on gilt today

thoughts on any of these? i'm still looking for brown loafers

[Future]

i like the bottom-right ones.

edit: just bought a pair myself.

[sleeper]

bottom right is definitely the winner of those four - not in love with the design, though. just get some sperry or sebago loafers dog. design is classic, they will do you well for at least two years

[jbiz]

yeah i wear brown sperry topsiders now, was looking to diversity

[Future]

i'm a little nervous about buying shoes without trying them on first, but at least you can return them for Gilt credit.

[jbiz]

did you order true-to-size?

what size are you in clarks desert boots or sperry topsiders, assuming you own any?

[Future]

i did order a pair that is the same size as my topsiders.

[ho bag brown]

Clarks desert boots are true to size, I'm a 13. They take a little breaking in, so they might seem tight at first.

I'm rocking these seavees this spring

'

come on man everyone knows they are a half size big.

[nefarious]

and either of the ones on the right look good depending on what color you want.

[ho bag brown]

Well, I wear a 13 in them and pretty much everything else, fwiw

[jbiz]

huh, didn't even realize my top-siders are a 10 but desert boots are a 10.5

my converse are a 10 as well

so if i ordered those varvatos, i should probably get a 10?

[nefarious]

i've never really found a half size too big to be that big of a deal.

Men, dress more like Jarvis Cocker.

word, I'll stop by a rest home to beat the shit out of some old dude and steal his clothes.

Though I will say women would benefit from dressing like Allison in the Breakfast club. Maybe that's just me though, I'm weird.

Bathing suits. What kind of trunks are you guys wearing this S/S? I'm so sick of my suit hanging down past my knees. Wanted to get something a bit more adult, so I grabbed a couple pairs of 16" trunks instead of 21/22" board shorts. They hit about 4 inches above the knee and fit really well.

Grabbed these from Modern Amusement


I also really wanted to get these from Orlebar Brown

but there was no way I was dropping $180 on a bathing suit. Found a pair made by Quiksilver (can't find a pic online) that look identical for like $13 on sale. I've gotten some shit from some of my guy friends about the length, but so far I've received nothing but compliments from my target demographic.

Adorable. Good choice.

niiiiice

I have purple seavees that I love to death. gotta wear those more often. shit they'd look sick with these dockers I have.

by the way guys, really, go buy some dockers. they're like $30 and they have these new fit options and I am in love with mine.

if we're talking bathing suits, I love these:



$100 is a bit for much for how often I get to go swimming though (not enough), plus I have an awesome pair of box trunks from penguin that I picked up for like $8.

jbiz i stopped at Epaulet today before work to check it out and talked with the owner for a bit. didn't really have time to try anything on but i'll go back soon to do that. i really want the chambray workshirt they sell if there's a size that looks good on me.

[jbiz]

the red one is really nice. 120 bones though.

[pulled pork]

you could get that shirt at your local Goodwill for almost nothing.
