What are you wearing today?

[Faust]

Shuit, the goodness of the fits is already beside the point - love the tattoos! Any background to those?

[Shucks]

looks great shucks! zipper synergy is on point and cargo baskets look really clean in the silhouette.

thanks a lot.

[gawkrodger]

Bryantyj that's good.

Shuit first look works so well, especially (as Faust has already highlighted) with the tatts.

What are the trainers? Ann Dem?

[LOVE]

shucks you continue to be the best ambassador for the brand



further experiments in silhouette distortion and farmer's tans

[Faust]

Vanilla. Where is the experimentation?

[LOVE]

i don't work in the fashion world, so things like pod shorts, dress length tees and geobaskets, are still interesting and fairly exrtreme to me.

so is the idea of basically flattening my silhouette into a giant amorphous black onesie/tube

i've seen people on the street dressed in full rick owens maybe twice in my entire life.

for me it's still a sci-fi escape fantasy and i feel sorry for you if you can't see things that way.

i dress for myself, not for this forum and especially not for you. definitely not going to apologize for that.

i look fucking awesome, by the way.

This loses meaning once you start posting fit pics and posting defensively while proclaiming yourself awesome.

Edit: to keep on topic, adding to Shucks/Shuit love.

always happy to post here, such a supportive community.

ahh its ok. LOVE just got his feathers ruffled. Faust wasn't being hostile or trying to provoke anyone though. just asking what he meant by "further experiments in silhouette distortion", since this is a silhouette we've seen once or twice before. but its easy to get riled up in these internet settings...

shoot, for me, in my world, that outfit is so experimental as to be considered an affront to society. way too far out to wear to our weekly tea party rallies

[DudleyGray]

I like the fit itself FWIW, it's not anything I wouldn't wear.

Don't get upset - my summer fits are vanilla, too, that's why I don't post much in WAYWT in the summer. I did not think I was being hostile, simply critical. In the world outside of SZ this may be extreme, but you posted on SZ, so.

vanilla=easy/basic? if so, I'm vanilla in the summers too, can't wait for fall

The colloquial use of the term vanilla is so far from what vanilla actually is. It's a crazy tropical orchid, not some random uninspiring flat boring thing. I think the entomology of the modern usage of the word comes from ordering it as an unexciting choice in ice cream or as in sexual proclivities towards safeness, thus unexciting.

The juxtaposition between a standard pod shorts, tank, and baskets fit here vs IRL is almost identical. Go figure.

I also have to comment that I was feeling the same way today. Sneakers, jeans, tee. Is there really a way to break up the monotony of summer dress without coming off as contrived or sweating profusely?

Thin fabric'ed and loose fitting clothing can be your friend. Granted I typically only "dress up" later in the day as it's starting to cool off due to me typically spending my summer days doing active activities like running, biking, spearfishing, etc. Anyways, in the evenings I try and wear thin cotton pants or shorts and an oversized thin top, or at least something that allows good air flow. I've recently found a lot of Jan Jan Van Essche to work extremely well for this dilemma.
