    ^ both actually, he was talking about thickness of the legs, height would play a big part too i would say.

    well all in all if someone is horizontally challenged, i think the silhouette when it comes down to tucking in to make everything narrower at the bottom would just look fucking weird

      Thanks guys! Yes I know what you are talking about. There is some flat, goose like spirit. I tried my Viridi Ann's shoes with this look, and it was good in my opinion. But. I wanted to try. I love this leather socks. May be the reason why, that it's my first pair of such unusual shoes. Or as Patroclus said about promo... Tomorrow I will post the second fit with Viridis if you don't mind. Or should I move it to Yes or No thread?

        buy shoes 2 sizes too small - might be "a little worrying"?

          Here I think it's because the outfit is quite formal, so it doesn't work. Don't overdo it.

              well, you were speaking of guidis in general ("i nv really thought it was right to the sizing up on guidis...go TTS"). I'm just saying that I don't see a point in making statements like this when it does vary by model and various other things.

              any way, lets carry on.

                My thoughts as well...tucking seems to look better when informal. I also happen to feel that slim boots are slim for a reason, so they fit under your pants nicely.

                And Guidi sizing does vary depending on model, and also how you like to wear your shoes. Some of us go up a size so we can add insoles, etc.

That said, the coat looks awesome and that's all that matters.
                  why are you so negative? you should feel flattered and happy to be inspirational.

                    i like the tucked looked with very low crotch pants. i think it's all in the sartorial intent. i'd tuck julius but i'd never tuck yohji. all in context!

                      liberty_of_style, I think your guidi looks fine as well... this is the exact proportion that most cartoonist would draw for the lower part of a character... which is... well... cool. Top part should focus on lengthening your silhouette in a vertical way, eg. a longer coat will do magic.

                        Agree on the longer coat / lower crotch combination. I can see it work. But I still think that people with relatively wide feet and muscular legs will not exactly look good in those. This is not exactly your case, Q.

                            Like the pic a lot Lowrey.
                            At first sight, I thought that you were handling a boot.

                              Liberty - untuck the pants, stand normally, switch the ccp shirt for an untucked turtleneck, and I think you would look much better.

                              • Lowrey, really love it. as always, best photos come when you don't posing and even don't think about it. this is what is missing in many contributions and mine too.

                                French crew, as always. great.

                                Liberty, I donno. I can't agree with MM about guidis, but this is not your boots, really, it's just doesn't work for you. pm for further conv.
