I would have to see someone with an actual chest wear it instead of an anorexic man

Jesus fuck, as a natural skinny girl with no boobs (I look basically identical to that model's body shape really) I find that pretty fucking offensive.

anyway, Oh, hey Jimmy, hows it goin?




Do you feel less bored with the fashion thread now? Did I help?
 

[Liz]

Jimmy- Your style is very special, but I don't know how many people could actually pull it off. That is a polite way of saying I would not wear any of the things you posted.

Hipster Jesus- No. Just no.

Robbie- It's okay, we all make mistakes.

Dom- Yes.

Roxie- I love the pattern on the first dress, but the shape is pretty horrid. It would be a lot cuter if you had it tailored a bit or just belted it so you did not look like a box. Other than that I am not really a fan of the rest, as velour is most definitely not my fabric of choice. The last one isn't too bad but the spaghetti straps aren't that great. It would be totally cute as a strapless dress.

Jodie- You are my favorite.

[Nodaisho]

I like Jimmy's fashion choices, though I don't see myself wearing any of those, aside from the priest coat and T-shirt from the second to last link. The boots look cool, but on myself, I prefer the genuine combat boots, rather than the heavily-buckled ones. At least those don't have three inches of studded sole, I don't like the impractically heavy boots, and if I wore them, I would probably hit my head on doorways around the house.

I think I want to find a new hat, I currently have almost constantly affixed to my head a mostly black flat cap, and I have a fedora that my grandmother bought for me, but I don't tend to wear the fedora unless I am dressing up, as it doesn't really look right with my normal clothes. I can't give pictures, as I still have no camera, but does anyone have favorite hats they want to recommend? I normally wear either this or something similar to this, and red-brown hair, if it makes a difference.

Ebony, you don't look unhealthily thin, that model does.

[jodizzle]

Oh Liz, I love you too.

Ps, I really dont think she looks unhealthy guys.

[Liz]

Yay!

And I don't think she looks unhealthy either. Sure, she is a lot skinnier than I am and probably taller, so I am a little jealous, but I've seen skinnier models out there.

[Nodaisho]

Look at her arm, that is what I noticed. I used to be underweight, my arm looked like that, so it looks like an underweight adolescent's arm. Not hugely underweight, so I guess not really unhealthily thin, but thinner than ideal.

[Liz]

Guys this thread is about fashion. Post more clothes!



Is that better, Jimmy?

[Jimmy the Squid]

I'm not digging the jacket because I prefer jackets with straight sleeves, I don't like the raglan thing it's doing. Other than that, you're getting closer. Basically, when I get dressed to go out somewhere (not to the office) I am thinking, what would I be wearing were this a post-apocalyptic/post zombie invasion film.

[Emaline]

Jimmy, a guy I am kinda seeing dresses like you. He too, is awesome as fuck. I like dressing like that sometimes, but everybody gets weirded out when I do. I once wore fishnets to work, and my manager asked me when I turned goth.  


Roxie, I had a highly inappropiate joke all thought up, but I couldn't thinkof how to properly word it, and it was slightly creepy, but...

Roxie in her blue dress,


And Jodi, I may have mentioned this to you before but, you are pretty and awesome and I am jealous.

[negative creep]

Jimmy, I must say I like most of the stuff you linked to, but that coat alone costs more than all of my clothes combined. Except if those are Australian Dollars, in which case I have no idea how much that actually is.

[Jimmy the Squid]

It is actually a pretty cool dress Roxie. Good for you.

Anyway, this is my newest clothing acquisition. Fashion Advice Thread, how rad is my jacket?



I think it is Pretty Rad.

Yeah, I am hoping to buy that coat during the goth festival this year when that store (which is basically around the corner from me) has huge sales. Otherwise it would basically be half my paycheque.

[Emaline]

Roxie, you should get some bright red pumps to match your necklace, for the blue dress.

[Liz]

Jimmy, that is a jacket I can get behind. It truly is Pretty Rad.

[Jimmy the Squid]

Roxie, you should get some bright red pumps to match your necklace, for the blue dress.

?

Liz, I bought it at an actual fashionable shop! The kind with fancy designer jeans and horrid, brightly coloured t-shirts with jarringly bright graphics on them. I was in there with my ladyfriend and I saw it and basically just went "SQUEEE!"

[David_Dovey]

Jimmy not all of us are gay cyborg vampires.

I think I am a stylish dude but alas, I am differently rich.

Basically if I had the money to buy a bunch I would wear tailored suits all the time.

[Leinad]

@ Ebony: I am sorry I offended you, but a girl that size really should not wear clothing that draws attention to the chest area in such a way, but wear clothing more like the stuff you posted. The way the fabric is cut it is a contrasting shape to the dress making even well-endowed women look smaller. You, on the other hand, posted perfect examples for your body type.

[Social Bacon]

I would totally wear the priest coat that Jimmy posted. Or that blue sweater from earlier. Perhaps I'll post some of my sweaters and Jimmy-style-jackets later, I'm too drunk now. But I've totally loved these last to pages. It's so hard to find people seriosuly interested in mens' fashion, all my friends just dress practically (see: boring).

PS. Holy balls that priest coat is expensive though.

[David_Dovey]

Also fuck you fashion thread I bought awesome brown loafers and they look fuckin' hot with my grey suit and like I give two shits about protocol anyway, not when I look that good.

[RobbieOC]

Awesome looking clothes Jimmy found.

These are all really cool, but they aren't the kind of clothes I can pull of. I'm kind of a primary colors type person, both in personality and what goes well with my natural coloration. I tend to dress rather conservatively, as is fitting me. I do wish I could pull off that second coat you linked to, though. It is an awesome coat.

If I can get ahold of a camera soon, I will show off my impressive collection of sweater vests.

[fatty]

Liz: this forum being devoid of stylish dudes is rubbish.

I can think of a long list of guys here who dress well, though they may not look like your male models.

Edit: Also here are some clothes. Some of these are old:

[E. Spaceman]

Manda, I kinda thought you would like the dress. At least you know what is up!

Also I think our forum is just devoid of stylish dudes. Perhaps this seems a little crazy, but I wish Kieffer were here right now. He might be an ass sometimes but he is a fashionable ass at least.

Hey fuck you.

[Spluff]

I like to think I know a decent bit about fashion - but I don't really feel comfortable telling people I don't know over the internet that, essentially, their clothing is no good.

[morca007]

I like to think I know a decent bit about fashion - but I don't really feel comfortable telling people I don't know over the internet that, essentially, their clothing is no good.

I strongly identify with this post.

e: Here is a great starting place (guys, not so much gals): http://thesartorialist.blogspot.com/

[fatty]

The sartorialist is so wankery. Any place on the internet where guys talk about fashion is wankery. By that I mean that the people are wankers and douchebags - this coming from someone who has been on one of those forums.

[morca007]

I ignore the comments, the guy who runs it knows his shit.

[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

[Jimmy the Squid]

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.

[David_Dovey]

a pair of slacks, a starched white shirt, a red cravat and a smoking jacket.

I'd wear the shit out of this outfit

[normz]

these shoes come in navy..... when they arrived at work i fell in lust straght away

thoughts???

[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.

[Ladybug]

Hm. I'm generally mostly a fan of more simple shoes (well, mostly sneakers :p But I can appreciate others that I wouldn't necessarily wear myself), but I think I might not dislike them in navy. And from what I've seen of you, it looks like you can pull them off. They look hella uncomfortable, though, but I guess that's just me and my prejudice against non-sneakers.

[David_Dovey]

If they are navy and still with that faux-snakeskin-thing then holy god fuck no that would be ridiculous. If they're just solid blue then um I guess they're still pretty dumb I mean really what the hell is going on with that heel.

[normz]

awwww you guys suck ..... definately not helping me justify $1000 couture shoes

the navy does look heaps better than the beige yes and even tho the heel looks crazy as hell they are very comfortable

eh i'm probably going to buy them anyway... it's a toss up between those or rent for a month, but the girls here already know what ill do

[Spluff]

Could you post a picture in navy? Because the snakeskin type thing just looks tacky.

[Social Bacon]

That Sartorialist site was just... blech. Pretty much everything I saw on it just looked completely awful.

To me those shoes look like a bunch of scientists got together and tried to make the worst shoes physically possible.

To Jimmy, I think your gay cyborg vampire look is pretty awesome for the most part, a couple things you wear I just can't comprehend, but I love most of it. However, there is no way in hell I could pull that look off, and I think it's kind of limiting wearing black all the time.

[Gemmwah]

I think being comfortable in clothes is more about being confident in them, I can be just as comfortable in a corset, skirt and heels as I am in a pair of jeans, t-shirt and chucks.

[Social Bacon]

I think being comfortable in clothes is about being a suit. Nothing can top how comfortable a suit is.

[Liz]

Jimmy not all of us are gay cyborg vampires.

I think I am a stylish dude but alas, I am differently rich.

Basically if I had the money to buy a bunch I would wear tailored suits all the time.

This is such a good post. A+ would read again.

Robbie- Yay sweater vests! I am a big fan of them when worn right.

Ali and Emilio- My mockery of the dudes on this forum was more to try and get them to start posting. I want to see more fashion choices here!

Normz- I love shoes. I really do. I enjoy odd shoes on occasion as well, but those are just going a little too far. I would also like to see the navy pair for comparison, but I doubt I could ever justify spending $1000 on them.

Also, everyone- I looove The Sartorialist. That is probably how I would dress if I had a large quantity of disposable income.

[McTaggart]

All my outfits are really damage control because I have few clothes and a lot of them are really kinda eh. I put a bit of effort into trying to get them to work together because clothes shopping is pretty much my least favourite thing and buying new clothes scares me. I think I do pretty well with what I have.

[Jimmy the Squid]

To Jimmy, I think your gay cyborg vampire look is pretty awesome for the most part, a couple things you wear I just can't comprehend, but I love most of it. However, there is no way in hell I could pull that look off, and I think it's kind of limiting wearing black all the time.

I don't really find it that limiting because I try to mix different shades. I'm going to get blonde streaks in my hair at some point and I want to experiment with only wearing black and white. I don't find it limiting but maybe that's because I don't have any desire to dress any differently.

[Drill King]

Man, I don't know what I'd do if I only wore black. I have a ton of clothes so maybe tonight I'll show you guys some of my favorite outfits.(I wish I had a decent place to put my camera so I could get timed full body shots.

Also, I think the most fashionably attractive man I ever saw was in an AA shop, he had a pair of tightISH bootleg fitted white pants, a red cardigan with black accents, a regular yellowish/brownish cotton tee, and a pair of shoes similar to the gucci ones posted earlier.

The best part is, this is how my dad dresses sometimes, and my dad is one of those gentleman that's very lean and very tall so it looks fabulous on him. He has better fashion sense than I do. Except for when he dresses like a dad. (sports sandals with socks and wind breaker wrapped around his waist. wtf?)

I think it's good to be fashionable, but to be oaky with being a mess.

[Jimmy the Squid]

Wearing only black removes a lot of the thought from getting dressed. You stop thinking about whether things clash because everything obviously goes with everything else. It does however mean that on the rare occasion that I do wear colours it means I have no fucking clue what I'm doing. The majority of my wardrobe has been black for the last seven years so I'm a little out of practice.

[morca007]

Drill King- That is because old men know what is up.

[Drill King]

Man.. I don't think any colours clash if they're the right wear.

Morca007 - OH I BET THEY DO!

(I kid, I love seeing older guys that are usually dads be fashionable.)

[morca007]

They also know what's not up.
Hint: It's their penis.

[Nodaisho]

I just don't do bright colors, or, to be more accurate, if I had the money to get my ideal wardrobe, I wouldn't wear bright colors, as it is, I have a bunch of shirts I got for free that are brighter than I would like. I wouldn't do the all black wardrobe, but you can get dull greens and browns and blues, maybe reds, all of which go together decently (well, maybe not red and green, unless you are Freddy), and have some variety. Monochrome can be very striking, though.

The sartorialist has some odd fashion choices on there, but it also has good ones, it just seems to be more tilted towards businessy looks. Some of those, I would like wearing if I were going to a formal occasion, but not normally.

[hipster jesus]

Wearing only black removes a lot of the thought from getting dressed. You stop thinking about whether things clash because everything obviously goes with everything else.

I won't go so far as wearing only black, but the vast majority of what I wear is either black/a dark shade of whatever color or white. It makes everything easier in terms of picking something that doesn't clash, and I need all the help I can get there. I don't have very good fashion sense to begin with and I'm partially colorblind.

[Verergoca]

Eh, the problem i have with only-black wardrobes, is that well, its so mono-tone!

Also, normz, if you do end up getting those shoes you are daydreaming about, i totally demand pikturs!

[RobbieOC]

Here you go, Liz:


This one is just grey, and kind of boring, I guess, but I still really like it, because it is very versatile.


This one is just red, so it is a little less boring than the grey one, and works well with lots of shirts I have.


This is my favorite one. I like the colors and the pattern, and it goes well with outfits like:


this. Which is the kind of thing I would wear alot in the colder months.

So, yeah. Sweater vests.

[Liz]

Sweater vests and argyle. Oh you are so great, Robbie.

More things Liz likes! I don't know if I could pull it off, but if I could I would wear the hell out of this dress:


Same for this one:


Also, hello vintage-inspired swimwear!
