    I agree, there's a kind of old fashioned dandy feel about the fit. It could also work good with regular oxfords, to emphasize the slightly dressed up feel.

      Blackfedora: What a classy and relevant addition to this board.

        Agreed. The boots look too heavy/rough compared with the rest, and a nice pair of oxfords would do a better job - preferaly with a round toebox.

            And yes, as Jonif already stated it, both look clumsily contrived ; the natural background just makes it a bit more obvious.
            Contrived, yes. Conceptually out of place, no. Talking only of blackfedora's fit.

                I understand that, and I won't deny that BF's fit makes him somewhat look like a sandman from Starwars.

                I only say that seeing this fit in an urban environment would have helped making it look a bit less like an attempt to cosplay a nomad, which would be one of the few reasons (along with a lookbook session) likely to explain why he's in such a place dressed in such a way.
                Because if he's not cosplaying, it just looks like he's wearing expensive designer stuff in the middle of nowhere, which is far from making sense at first view.

                Hence my comment about teleportation, which was actually pointless if BF is indeed a nomad, or if he cosplays one on a regular basis.

                  chun's okay, it's just that the skirt doesnt go well with the outfit. if you divided it into top/bottom both would look ok, but put together it is awkward.

                    It should be noted that "hate" expressed by peeps that are too scared to expose themselves in waywt is taken with absolutely no frame of reference. in other words, it's meaningless

                    I have been thinking the same since joining the forum. The anonymity of the Internet makes it just too easy to speak in a tone which most people would not use in the real world. It changed a lot for me personally when meeting many members in person Sometimes people who seem super confident and harsh here turn out to be harmless (and amicable) nerds...of course we are all nerds... Hahahaha

                        On the last pic I have my hand in the front pocket, hence such a silhouette. The outfit wasn't fully black, I had a dark red sweater underneath, somewhat visible on the first pic, but it actually stood out more.
                        Awesome.

                              Nobody noticed the S engraved on the mirror striked by BSR's silhouette ?

                                sports metaphor:
                                critiquing and throwing insults in waywt without exposing yourself to being a victim is akin to an american league pitcher throwing at ( hitting) a batter. he does so with impunity
