What do you guys think of this shirt? Kind of wish they had a version of it with other colors.

That fairly nondescript grey tee with a big white and black square on it? I dunno, it's fine. It's hard to comment either way on such an inconspicuous garment.

I'm not saying it's bad, it's just like asking someone how their bowl of boiled rice tastes.

 

[overcast]

Yeah, I want to add a few different (though not too crazy) things to my wardrobe, so that one is probably pretty unnecessary.

 

[freenudemacusers]

stylefox i found your shirt

http://www.thecorner.com/us/men/short-sleeve-shirt_cod38369666us.html

granted it's about 4 playstations but hey

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

My birthday is coming up all I want is a code for thecorner, or TBS, or forward, or luisaviaroma.

I only wear shirts made out of neoprene now.

 

[NinjaBoiX]

Style Fox, you should totally rock that shirt mac posted, it's all kinds of snazzy. Wear it with those shiny gold trousers.

Bring the dip-dyed sweater in case it gets cold.

You don't subtle troll a subtle troller brah.

That neoprene is hot I'll cop during sale.

Guys, what's wrong with Gucci and Prada? Are they sellout motherfuckers now or something? It's a bit out of my price range so I don't have a lot of their stuff, I'm genuinely asking.

I have a Prada hat, I love it.

Wow, that's an ugly shirt. The fit is all wrong (why are the sleeves so baggy?) and the print is cheeseballs.

Edit: Oh god, that's for real? Like, $600 for real?

Hahaha, I thought it was a joke, some $5 shirt from a market stall or something.

Dear god Calvin....

You don't subtle troll a subtle troller brah.

It's fun doe.

 

[zeopower6]

The model looks so WIDE in that, lol.

i don't think you can discern the quality of a brand based on a hat, but to answer your question

one might say gucci and prada are...

old hat

I want to get some Strands when I'm in the US in may/june, but I'm kinda taken back by the price. From what I've seen the retail price is 360 dollars? Is it easy to find them cheaper in a store?

could try getting factory seconds or hoping summer sales kick in by then? there's also this guy over at sf who sells some along with other ae shoes, might be worth asking him http://www.styleforum.net/t/381389/allen-edmonds-strand-megathread-huge-sale

As said, AE runs factory seconds sales every now and then. Nordstrom also sometimes has sales that include AE.

So there isn't anything wrong with their stuff, they just aren't deemed "cool" anymore. Gotcha.

It is a jolly nice hat though.

Also, aren't you the guy who can discern a particular fake crocodile print just by looking at a picture of a popstar wearing a hoody? (One of the most "WTF, come on mane" posts I've read in a while, lol.)

I was wrong about the hoodie, thought it was this one:

Alas, it was a custom Hermés hoodie. Even so, it's not like there's too many white crocodile hoodies on the market these days.

Actually, Gucci is just crazy boring now. Look at the last few collections, it looks like no one bothered to care. Prada is just... ugly.

Yeah, I was going to say this, it was real croc leather anyway. I was hoping you would maintain your position, lol. (I love that hoody though, so good.)

Regardless, I still refuse to believe anyone could look at such a randomised pattern and recognise it verbatim from somewhere. It's akin to someone looking at a close up of a road surface and saying "oh, that's Cabel Road in Manchester." It's completely implausible.

Thanks for the input on Gucci and Prada though, I was just curious about their fall from grace. I only have the hat because I got a bargain on eBay, that stuff is too pricey for my budget!

 

[Marcovaldo]

could check out miu miu as a prada alternative?

Why is that so hard to believe. It's distinct. They don't all look the same you know

ninjaboi can you tell what shoes i'm wearing:

 

[Lirlond]

Brown shoes zzzzz

 

[NinjaBoiX]

Brogues yo.

They look well kept, good man. I'm very careful to keep my shoes in good condition too.

 

[giga]

Walnut.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

It's fun doe.

But are you even good at it? I mean are you really? Can you commit yourself to the art?

All signs point to possibly.

 

[freenudemacusers]

Brown shoes zzzzz

hah i'm basically monochrome shoe exclusive* but come on

*who wants some brown side zip boots?

 

[Autumn Wind]

So what is a good "loose-fitting" pair of jeans made with White Oak Cone Denim? What am I looking to spend minimum?

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Code for Asos. Would be a good place to get Ray-Bans or Persols 20% off.

 

[Marcovaldo]

Brown shoes zzzzz

in my defence my options for work are pretty limited

Brogues yo.

i take care of my work/formal shoes, not so much with trainers:

 

[freenudemacusers]

damn and I thought I let my shoes get grimy

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Looks like there used to be some white shoes under that nasty stuff.

 

[Marcovaldo]

yeah, once upon a time! alas, one walk through a snow covered central park changed that

 

[NinjaBoiX]

But are you even good at it? I mean are you really? Can you commit yourself to the art?

We can spar bro, we'll get various leather and shiny pearlescent garments and Skype catty fashion-based insults at each other. The first one to either cry or get changed loses.

The first sign of fapping and I'm out though, fair warning SnazzyFox.

i take care of my work/formal shoes, not so much with trainers:

I dunno, that looks pretty good, some people prefer the worn look. I can see the appeal, and it looks better with some trainers more than others (Converse All-Stars spring to mind). But I like mine to look crisp as much as possible, I just give them a quick wipe once in a while and a spray of this:

Also, I lace the left as a mirror to the right rather than in the same direction:

Cool trainers though. But I'd have to re-lace them.

i dunno brah i just wore side zips to work every day

 

[Marcovaldo]

i dunno brah i just wore side zips to work every day

oh i wear my hmmm side zips once in a while too, i just meant colour-wise pretty much just black and brown. maybe really dark navy that's pretty much black too

 

[f0rk]

My white AF1s are mostly blue at the back because of my N&F jeans.

Speaking of which it's coming up on 6 months on those. Will wash soon.

 

[Alucrid]

ooh okay. my shoes consist of black->grey boots and white sneakers.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

 

[Marcovaldo]

^nice, now i want black trainers

Also, I lace the left as a mirror to the right rather than in the same direction:

bloody hell these look brand new

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

I want some margiela gats but TBS only has them in 44. I should be focusing more on tops anyways. Looking out for some shirts, sweats, long sleeves. Hell if a decent jacket goes on sale I'll go for it.

 

[Frustrated_me]

Which of these work during spring/summer better? And can I wear these without socks?

 

[giga]

Lighter colors are more casual. Oxfords are not easy to pull off without socks. Why not some camp mocs?

 

[NinjaBoiX]

To be fair, those are pretty much brand new. I've only had them a few weeks, worn them like 4 or 5 times.

Super comfy like, even for trainers. Snug is a good description.

Already have these

What? Brown shoes are great.

Code for Asos. Would be a good place to get Ray-Bans or Persols 20% off.

Just bought shoes. It seems like every other week Asos has 20+% off anyway.

A quick wipe with what exactly?

 

[nailbombxx]

Where can I find simple t-shirts with solid colors or simple patterns that aren't too thin? Since its spring I'd like to wear tshirts without any layers, but I am not in the best of shape at the moment so I'd rather not wear shirts that are too clingy or tight.

 

[NinjaBoiX]

A quick wipe with what exactly?

Just a wet cloth, maybe a touch of soap. Stains and stuff come off so much easier if you use some protector spray after you've cleaned them.

 

[freenudemacusers]

I use babywipes on my shoes (sneakers and light oxfords). works like a charm.

target usually has a display of plain and striped/patterned tees. stick with "merona" if you want a normal non-tapered fit.

Ah okay. I'll keep that in mind. Got some similar Fred Perry's thanks to that pic of yours btw. Only 60 dollars.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

You guys use shoe trees? Some people stuff with newspaper also instead of using a shoe tree for whatever reasons.

 

[OfWhiteSkinOnRedLeather]

Magic Erasers for white side soles. Accept nothing less.

I second this. Though I would also try the Mossimo ones, as I find the Merona tees to be a little too wide, but I'm slim as fuck, so whatever.

only for dress shoes, otherwise no.

Hmm, interesting. It'll probably help keep the leather moisturised too. Good tip mac.

I might have to try and get some of these too. Some stains just won't budge after a while, I'll give these a shot.
