Got my Clark's in. Thoughts? I think I like them, but I need to get used to them. I think they're better than the Sperry's.

 

[Auron_Kale]

It's like they want to be oxfords but still wanted to stay as a chukka before giving itself a bad haircut... :/

So I take that as a no? Think the Sperry's would be better?

I just can't win with shoes. Need to go back to Nikes.

 

[Illithid Dude]

Oh, look, picture time. I think I've finally figured out how to take good mirror selfies. It's officially summer in L.A.

And the sunglasses I wore it with.

Shirt- Naked and Famous

Jeans- Edwin ED 88 (fucking love these, gonna wear every day until my SLP ones come in)

Shoes- Opening Ceremony.

And a bonus shot of the haircut I got thanks to wonderful GAF advice! It's not the greatest picture, but you get the idea.

#teamuntucked (for now)

They're okay, but I think the Sperrys suit you better - also the bonus being that you like them more it seems.

And for the Nikes, the grey gatos (I think?) looked good too tbh, especially with your outfit.

Ah those were Reeboks.

The Sperry's I need to decide between are the classic or the slip on. May just wear shorts and hit the shoe store this weekend to make the final call.

Everything.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Second pair it is. Now to figure out how to break them in so they don't destroy my feet.

 

[freenudemacusers]

deadly surely you knew the reactions shoe one would recieve, yes?

dig it dude, how do you like OC's shoes? true to size?

 

[Illithid Dude]

dig it dude, how do you like OC's shoes? true to size?

Maybe a little bit smaller, but I could be making that up.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Nevvvvvermind.

 

[freenudemacusers]

sorry; oc = opening ceremony.

if true, can't say i'm surprised haha. everything from them seems to run small.

 

[Kraftwerk]

@Illithid Dude

LOVE that shirt.

 

[haunted_taco]

haha yeah the top sperries look like those atheleisure shoes that I still see people wearing.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Illith has perfect fit if you ask me.

 

[Illithid Dude]

@Illithid Dude

LOVE that shirt.

Cheap(ish), too!

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Any of you guys got deodorant that ruins your shirts? Is it aluminum or what? Trying to find one that is safe on fabrics.

get girl deodorant. I use dove (unscented for those keeping score)

I use Unscented Ban. Doesn't get on my shirt, no smell, and comes in a cool bottle.

EDIT: Mine is women's deodorant, too.

Anti-perspirants use aluminum. Use regular deodorant instead.

I use: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0017WIKBG/?tag=neogaf0e-20

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

I got the Baxter of California one, it has none of that bad stuff so at least it won't fuck up my clothes even if it doesn't work that well.

 

[Dance Inferno]

That polka shirt is amazing. Do they have retail stores or do they only sell stuff online?

For deodorant I use Old Spice, it's pretty good. I've also used Dove in the past but I like the smell

Spoiler

f

of Old Spice more.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

I'm surprised you guys all just use drug store brands.

 

[freenudemacusers]

they don't sell malin+goetz in the flyover states

 

[Dance Inferno]

It's deodorant, as long as it prevents me from smelling bad I don't care where it comes from. No one is going to peer under my shirt to see what brand of deodorant I'm wearing.

this is beta fashion thinking. all of the labels associated with your body need to be of equal position (price, cache, etc) on the market. brand synergy > *

 

[Alucrid]

i use ccp horsecock dipped in boots to purify my pits

 

[Cosmic Bus]

• That basketball(?) player's suit is rad, but it needs to be on someone much younger and with a far more narrow frame.
• I use Tom's of Maine girl antiperspirant. Has aluminum but doesn't stain my shirts. Go figure.
• I want to be Illithid Dude.

But it has aluminum. Ironically gonna ruin those 500 dollars YSL shirts.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Anyone got an idea what shirt Kobe is wearing?

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Hmm, so I still kind of like those Clark's I bought and posted above, but I agree they look a bit off with shorts.

Think maybe they'd go with jeans or chinos? Maybe I could keep them and use them for work/cooler days when I wear jeans.

I'd just get the Sperrys and be done with it. The Clarks look a little awkward.

Gah, alright. The material feels so nice. I guess I just stick with Clark's for their desert combat boots.

Yeah they'd probably go better with chinos/jeans. The way the top is shaped makes them a little awkward with shorts.

I'm pretty sure Barneys Co-Op carries them, and maybe Nordstroms or Bloomies?

 

[Kenka]

I don't know if mentioend in this thread earlier (which is quite huge) but I think Tyrolian/Bavarian clothing styles can't be featured enough on GAF. They are awesome:

 

[DominoKid]

people wear that?

 

[Blackhead]

people wear that?

Hey if people can wear scottish kilts...

 

[Servbot24]

Pic #2 there looks like he's cosplaying something

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Is it oktoberfest?

 

[Johnny M]

Bought this at Mango h.e. , not bad.

 

[Kenka]

More miss than hit then. Sorry. I have quite a few friends who wear them as a symbol status, those cloths are expensive.
Girls on the other hand look (in my humble opinion) really good:

Just my 2 cents, but I think people should stay clear from gimmicky shoes (as in ornamental seams, fabric arrangements etc.) and stick to classic styles. Only exception are trainers obviously.

So two!




And Kenka, what you posted is "Landhausmode" and is the tackiest shit ever. "Trachten" are great though.

I think a lot in fashion has to do with your attitude when you wear clothes, the context and the fact that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. From my experience, these clothes are a symbol of power, and are favoured by hard working people who like to experience a "return to roots". The Bavaria/Switzerland/Tyrol is so cosmopolite now due to hiring foreigners to maintain the economy that sometimes, men like to take a sip at the fountain of tradition. That's the context to me, and it adds to the sexiness of the outfit.

But I understand it can appear tacky elsewhere. I just happen to really like them.

 

[Alucrid]

Return to roots? I like that. Gonna go grab some olde threads and start burning witches while I'm at it.

 

[Dance Inferno]

Why stop there?

 

[xJavonta]

Just made these, how do they look? I don't ever wear shorts so it feels weird. It was really hot out though.

Excuse the dirty mirror, it's my sister's room.

 

[Boken]

they look like capris
