Fun Stuff > CHATTER
Let's have a fashion advice thread.
David_Dovey:
The Sartorialist routinely turns up some pretty great stuff (for both sexes! I don't know where you'd get the idea that it's no good for ladies) but I think it's worth taking everything on there with a grain of salt. Essentially I find places like that useful for getting me thinking about cool combinations and ideas, or interesting and new ways to wear something I already have and just generally putting me in a more constructively critical mindset re: style/fashion. Also obviously everybody has a different body and sense of style and something that looks great on one person isn't necessarily universally great.
Also the Sartorialist likes those "formal" shorts (that kind of look like you've taken a pair of chinos and cut them off at the knee) too much and that shit is just dumb.
P.S; ZOMG want these shoes: http://www.gucci.com/us/us-english/us/fall-winter-08/mens-shoes/#0-464511-202729D3VA01066

I guess I just really dislike what is generally seen as fashionable. Honestly most clothes I see that other people seem to love so much (read: a lot of this thread) just doesn't appeal to my own sense of what looks good. Cardigans? Blech, if I want to dress like an old man I'll get a pair of slacks, a starched white shirt, a red cravat and a smoking jacket and then I'd wait until I get old. Shorts are equally worthy of disdain but that is because I am displeased with my knees. And colours! It honestly strikes me as undignified to dress like a summery flower. I have no idea why.
I don't know, I just like dark, heavy fabrics. Coats with deep, or at least lots of, pockets, heavy boots that look appropriate for kickng people through plate glass windows. I also like billowy and dramatic but it has to be just the right amount or it looks half-arsed or cheesy.

Jimmy the Squid:
They are horrible. Really very not good. Do not buy those shoes.
NB: My advice is probably not the best. I mean, come on, I apparently dress like a gay cyborg vampire.
