The black/gray outfits that I often see on SZ have something to them that I like. I am just starting out putting together complete "Rick Owens"-like outfits, so I am still lacking some basic parts, like a long black or gray sweater, or black trousers that are not simply jeans. It's probably SZ's fault that I am starting to even consider this ALL-black mode, which wasn't the case before I read SZ (same thing with the wedges... I didn't like them at first, but the longer I saw them, the more I liked them...).
I am not (yet) able to put together a black/gray outfit that SZ readers would probably consider very stylish, but I am working on it.
no offense but this was probably the worst coat from f/w ro you could have gotten. i want a full coat for 3k
You are right - I really asked myself whether I want to spend that kind of money for a sort of "coat" which isn't really a full coat.
Then again, I do have lots of jackets and coats. When I say lots, it means 17 jackets and coats I do already own (not counting those in my basement, which I have lost track of), though they are from brands like Burberry (2), Tiger of Sweden (1), Peuterey (6), Boss (3), Barbour (1), Cinque (1), Lagerfeld (2) or self made (1).
The reason why I bought this (quite impractical) coat is, because I liked the overall look of the outfit that was shown on the runway:
I often buy complete outfits that I like. I already have similar boots at home (in black), I now do own the coat (also in black), I looked at the pants in the RO boutique and decided that I don't like them (they have a dropped crotch, which is really not my style; I rather wear a skirt than a dropped crotch-pant), so I am still looking for a long sweater like that on the picture and either trousers or a skirt (which I can also sew by myself).
I am probably going to order the following sweater and pants from the Russian designer Sosnovksa, if I manage to understand how "webmoney" (the Russian version of PayPal, without any credit card acceptance) works...
At least the sweater should look good combined with the RO coat and boots, so the only missing piece would be either a skirt or different pants. This would be the first outfit where really everything fits together well.
What about paying rent and shit.
Apart from the money: Although I don't like to wear suits ALL week long, I do like that people are not allowed to wear e.g. their stained jogging outfit to work (as happened quite often with "creative" people in the ad agency...).
Cheers,
Marc

coolio. just to be clear - i wasn't criticizing, more like curious. thx for taking time to explain. i could even partly envy that type of happy-go-lucky approach in a way. i'm more strict in editing, but it boils down to personality i think.
ps. just to confirm our different tastes, over the past week i've been eyeing those cashmere shorts from the picture you just posted - the only item you didn't like in that look, is the one i like best...

I like the variety of users that are at SZ, that we do have an interest in fashion that we share, and that there is a place to exchange thoughts about this. At least for me, it's currently the only place I can talk about men's wedges, coats that aren't really a coat and other things that don't make sense for the average Joe without being flamed for. I like this forum
Cheers,
Marc

oops...sorry shucks...I know it's not easy. I guess I was just thinking of my friend in Stockholm who's apartment is twice as big mine and pays significantly less than I do here in San Francisco. And yes she has a first hand contract and didn't get it on the blackmarket. But I know that doesn't usually happen. sorry
edit: I'm not trying to make generalizations about anyone's life in scandinavia. But I can romanticize it all I want, of course it's easy to complain about where you live but try living somewhere else first...
