What are you wearing today?

Re: What are you wearing today?



i imagine it must be especially hard going out like that in Asia...well, I actually think mainland China is more open minded towards expressing yourself through dress. Here in Hong Kong it's so homogenous, when I go out literally everyone is wearing a t-shirt and jeans. Wearing something like what you wore, or even what I wore (which i consider a pretty basic, no frills outfit) stands out like a sore thumb. I once actually got criticized for wearing leather shoes in a casual setting. This girl said, "why are you wearing leather shoes? you should be wearing sneakers, it is hard for you to make friends wearing leather shoes" or something to that effect. Makes me miss places such as NY, Paris, Tokyo etc. where dressing up is the norm. </p>

In a way, I am disappointed in people's aesthetic value here in Hong Kong, it is different labels but no different mentality than the Abercrombie herd mentality I tend to see on midwest college campuses in the US.

It's pretty much the same more or less here in Shanghai, I've just
learned really not to give a f! The guys that are on the fashion tip
here are usually decked out in DH (post 2005). Though, I would've thought that HK
would be more open to this kind of stuff than shanghai, given the
amount of retailers and money flowing around ( well there's alot of
money here as well, but little taste ).

Matt, I think that mentality very much varies depending on social circles. During the times when I've lived and worked in HK I've met more impeccably dressed men and women than I can count, and sartorialindividuality is definitely something that is appreciated among those circles. It's in this regard where I think HK more than holds its own against other major cities of the world.</P>


Streetwear-clad wannabe hipsters though, can be an entirely different story.</P>

[quote user="wire.artist"] Mike how does the Y's henley runs in size? How isthe fabric? I'm thinking about getting one for myself.[/quote]</P>


its very soft and quite light wool. it has two layers, so the brown one showing from underneath is the same shirt. </P>


it runs quite true to size I guess, butvery verytall, I think I could pull it to my knees.but its quite slim in the lower body so you can wear it bunched up.</P>

Re: What are you wearing today?

Mike excellent henley, I have been looking for something like that for soooooo long. How much is it and does anyone know if the soho store carries it?
