It's kind of ill-fitting and makes you look like you're posing for a Vanilla Sky promotional advertisement.

Sorry.

You look like a teenage Leon S. Kennedy.

Can you be more specific? About the fitting, not the Tom Cruise movie.

Young Leon: Not enough RPD outfit/middle part.

Sleeves a little too long, jacket a little too short.

Can't tell how it fits around the shoulders. Could you take a picture with it buttoned/zipped?

Cire27 · « **Reply #954 on:** 08 Sep 2009, 21:49 »

Yay! more extremely bad, blurry mirror pictures.

These pictures make me realise I really need a a haircut.

Note: I would never actually zip/button it up all the way.

Because of my hair or the jacket? I don't remember him wearing a jacket in it.

It's not bad actually except for the sleeves. If you wear shirts of a proportionate length, you can't tell that the jacket is a bit short.

I'd say go for it.

Professor Snuggles · « **Reply #959 on:** 09 Sep 2009, 09:36 »

I like that jacket, shit the haters. Good color, fit is fine, maybe a little young, but doable.

Bastardous Bassist · « **Reply #960 on:** 09 Sep 2009, 10:08 »

It looks to me like the sleeves are just fine. The cuff should come down to just above your knuckles and it seems to do so. I think it's a pretty cool jacket.

Ballard · « **Reply #961 on:** 09 Sep 2009, 10:14 »

Fashion thread, what do we think of these?

The vertical ridges/fact that they lack zippers kind of bothers me.

loco_banana · « **Reply #962 on:** 09 Sep 2009, 10:20 »

The tops are at an awkward height, unless you are fairly short.

Bastardous Bassist · « **Reply #963 on:** 09 Sep 2009, 10:22 »

I like that style of motorcycle boot, and wanted to get it for myself, but my ankles ended up being too skinny, and I had to get a pair with velcro. I'd say go for it if they're not too expensive. The top should be okay if you wear jeans that are kind of long.

Ballard · « **Reply #964 on:** 09 Sep 2009, 11:04 »

I wear skin-tight jeans which don't move around a lot or get shorter when I sit down so the top will be completely covered.

loco_banana, they're ankle boots, not cowboy boots. They're meant to end where they do.

These are the alternative. I guess the question is whether the first pair is too tacky or not.

SirJuggles · « **Reply #965 on:** 09 Sep 2009, 11:19 »

I'm really digging the accents and stuff on the first pair actually.

Ballard · « **Reply #966 on:** 09 Sep 2009, 14:16 »

I would consider Red Wings in place of Docs but not really in place of these. I'm looking for light and elegant, not industrial and fit for hiking.

That said I love my Docs, I'm just in the market for something else.

sean · « **Reply #967 on:** 09 Sep 2009, 15:05 »

yeah gene if you gotta have some boots get the 2nd boots. the frills n shit on the first one are just too much.

Jimmy the Squid · « **Reply #968 on:** 09 Sep 2009, 17:02 »

Fuck that, Gene go with the first pair they were rad as hell!

Drill King · « **Reply #969 on:** 09 Sep 2009, 17:52 »

I like the jacket, the fit is good. Reminds me of final fantasy: AA though, but that's because it's very similar to motorcycle jackets.

Also, gene, I like the second boots more, I Don't like all the strap things on the first ones

Cire27 · « **Reply #970 on:** 09 Sep 2009, 19:43 »

People in meatlife liked the jacket! So I'm happy. The only problem is that I am not used to wearing brown.

David_Dovey · « **Reply #971 on:** 09 Sep 2009, 21:20 »

I love engineer boots like mad but yeah those vertical ridges pretty much ruin the deal. Second boots unless you can find any more ankle boots like the first ones without that stuff.

Bastardous Bassist · « **Reply #972 on:** 10 Sep 2009, 06:36 »

The first pair is closer to a pair of motorcycle boots.

Lines · « **Reply #973 on:** 10 Sep 2009, 13:25 »

Do not wear any of those with skinny jeans, please. I like the first pair a whole lot more than the second, but dude, boot cut jeans exist for a reason. So do normal pants.

By the time I got to the bottom of the page, all the boot stuff and skinny jeans bitching distracted me, so I don't remember who was asking, but.

Acrylic does not shrink! It is man-made! It is plastic! Sorry, you lose. The only way to make a polyester or acrylic or rayon or nylon garment smaller is to tailor it.

Actually Eartha Kitt did a really nice version of that song, and I was thinking of picking a 40s dress and making it in like a gold or a red maybe (fall colours lol) (Johnny Mercer translated it from french in 1947) and going around humming it until I get sick of it. So like I'm my own acapella jazz club, sort of. Maybe.

Bastardous Bassist · « **Reply #987 on:** 14 Sep 2009, 08:29 »

What you should do is get a copy of the version I performed at my senior recital, because who doesn't like listening to poorly played solo electric bass repeatedly?

Ok so I have another question, because SockDreams was entirely unhelpful.

Where on earth do I get these stockings?

Ozymandias · « **Reply #989 on:** 14 Sep 2009, 14:05 »

Those stockings are absolutely the first thing I noticed in that picture.

Slick · « **Reply #990 on:** 14 Sep 2009, 14:12 »

Really? The sweater was the eye-catcher for me.

P.S. Also can we re-name this thread "Sometimes there are pretty ladies in nice clothes here also some pictures of boots/shoes and every once in a while Animal Ghostkieffer shows up and looks sharp too"?

calenlass · « **Reply #991 on:** 14 Sep 2009, 14:18 »

Hey, man, unless I dress up for something specific, like a convention or a party, I do not really need fashion advice because I wear the same goddamn thing every day: one of my 83 tshirts and jeans or black climbing pants. If it is hot I might wear shorts. If it is cold I do not wear my chacos and instead wear tennis shoes and a hoodie.

Maybe when I graduate in another 10 years I will need some fashion advice. Until then I am just looking for hell of cute things for special occasions. Like those motherfucking stockings.

Alex C · « **Reply #992 on:** 14 Sep 2009, 14:26 »

I have a friend who pairs stockings like that with a fairly short skirt and it's distracting as hell.

I like it but it needs to be made catchier. I propose: PHOTOTHREAD PLATINUM: NO UGGOS ALLOWED

So apparently I am dressing really 'dykey/boy' lately. I have had three guys comment how I am dressed more masculinely than them in a few days.

I'm not sure how I feel about this, but I think I will continue. When I have the chance I've been picking up clothes items here and there, trying to rebuild my wardrobe. Oh, also, how does QC feel about:

Women in small men's blazers
Women in very very loose mens jeans with a belt

Even though it's pretty boyish the way I have been dressing lately I feel looks pretty alright, however, am I dooming myself to a lifetime of singlitude with it?

Bastardous Bassist · « **Reply #996 on:** 15 Sep 2009, 10:52 »

I'm pretty okay with the men's blazers. I don't think that very loose jeans look good on anyone. They just tend to make people look shapeless. Admittedly, this could be a good thing for people who don't want their shape seen, but I don't think I've seen anyone here who would look better in loose trousers.

calenlass · « **Reply #997 on:** 15 Sep 2009, 11:18 »

If dudes cannot get past baggy jeans, they are not worth paying any attention to.

Liz · « **Reply #998 on:** 15 Sep 2009, 11:22 »

I would love to wear baggy jeans but I'm not skinny enough. It would be terribly unflattering, given my body type.

Men's blazers can be good if they fit you well enough- make sure they still define your waist at least a little, and wear them with more feminine pieces so you don't just look like a dude with long hair. I love blazers with skinny jeans and heels, and some great jewelry.

sandysmilinstrange · « **Reply #999 on:** 15 Sep 2009, 12:06 »

Katie, I don't know where you'd find those exact stockings, but Target has some textured gray thigh-highs that you could probably attach some little pearl buttons to.
