Ah ok, yeah this sizing is all over the place even within brands and im still trying to figure out what fits.
Do you fit any of the Japanese based brands? N(n), yamamoto, KKA?

-thanks

^ You guys should take this kind of sizing stuff to PM.

Vanna I like how your whole surroundings suit your outfit as well. Literally looks like you're in a completely different timeline haha. That being said I think I don't like your hat purely because it's so trendy at the moment. But you seem to sincerely stand by it, so that's good on you.

Fark. This is way late, but your last fits look uber natural. Looks good man.

Acéphale - great first outfit... Really nice overall silhouette and the pieces work well together. It's not like one piece stands out over another but that everything is just well put together... Somehow your pic reminds me of the (rare) outfits Klang posts. Which is a good thing.

Hi Vanna, it's been a long time !

Looks like a good one, but I miss the colors a little - and i'm not so sure about the pants tucked in the boots. In fact I'd rather see some lighter footwear here instead of boots - a tad too heavy compared with the upper part of the outfit, I'd say.

Acéphale, what is this jacket you're wearing ?

[lowrey]

That's one hell of a Forever 21 outfit—brand synergy without the usual sacrifice of authenticity.

Oh J, I was totally kidding. Ann, Margiela, etc. Haha.

double facepalm

Hypothético-inductif :
C'est la semelle - la forme de la semelle + plan en élévation (talon + flancs) - qui est décisive, tout le reste est anecdotique.
Donc, en effet : MA+, Alden, CCP, etc. = formal shoes

Empirico-déductif :
Théorème : Tout ce que le Moth accepte de voir à ses pieds est formel.

C'est pas compliqué, hein ?


Translation :

Shape of the last is the more important thing to define what is formal (and you have to take into consideration the third dimension as well : heel + sides).

But "formal" can be definite faster : "Everything that the Moth will accept to see his feet dressed with".

Everyone knows blutchers are casual while oxfords are formal. Please

combat boots are not formal either for example

let's try another move... 'formal' applies to clothes that you wear because of a direct and explicit social constraint (form in this sense means a set of aesthetic choices that embodies a social norm certain individuals placed in a specific situation must follow, for example, the politeness formulas in official letters, or the black shoes when you work for a bank). By wearing formal clothes you prove your knowledge of and obedience to the social rule. this rule has been fixed by a tradition, and when the tradition is not recognized anymore, the rule is forgotten, and the cloth loses its meaning. look at the shoes middle managers are wearing nowadays

So, the problem now is that today, many people have an entire freedom (well, at least explicitly, i don't deny the power of collective unconscious forces) for their wardrobe choices. Technically, there is no more formal clothes for them... but most people that are free to wear anything they like are driven by the power of mimesis and wear what their coworkers, parents, friends are wearing.

And there are still some very general principles. There are clothes that are acceptable in serious occasions (work, family meetings, romantic rendez-vous, decadent nightlife...). They are 'formal'. Shoes that are acceptable in these occasions are like Christian describes them. Aldens are formal because in most cases (fashion business and some creative areas excepted) you go to work with Aldens it's ok, you put RO wedges and it's not ok.

Formal in this sense corresponds to what most people consider is worn because someone must wear it, and not because he/she chooses to wear it.

Nothing is more formal than combat boots then, after all they are the next step in restrictive; part of a uniform. Now you'll have to consider le detournement (I'd call this recontextualization in english) which would necessite to look at the overall outfit/person/context and posit an hypothesis on their circumstances and intentions, therefore disabling the use of Socratic prescriptive schemes like the one you slily tried to introduce.
