What are you wearing today?

And I don't see it as a formal shirt, I figured the high neck negated any formality it had.

Depends on how you figure formal. This high collar looks pretty hieratic to me - which is a formality of sorts in my book - and definitely not street / casual, which is clearly the case of the bottom part of your outfit.

Also, agree with Snafu and Shucks regarding proportions. But what do I know.

I've actually worn it with cropped astaires and combat boots. But I wanted to find another way to wear it and I thought it looked good like this. And I don't see it as a formal shirt, I figured the high neck negated any formality it had.

I think it would be hard getting around the fact that it's a long dress shirt, even if it is an unconventional one. I could only see it working if there was some other point of interest or layer that offset the 'long untucked dresshirt over jeans and sneakers' look. Maybe if there was a low crotch, maybe if it was oversized instead of slim, or maybe if it was worn unbuttoned like an open jacket, I don't know, it's hard to know without seeing and being overly conscious of it.

EDIT: Oh, everyone already beat me to it. The pitfalls of writing thoughtful responses.

agree w snafu that it's unbalanced. too much torso, not enough below. needs drop crotches or something, and/or heavy boots/tucked footwear. like dudley says.

and also, why wear a white shirt when there's black ones to be had out there....

"barf" is maybe a bit harsh haha - snafu keeping it old skool like waywt back in the day...

I've worn it with sweats and boots on the bottom but I wasn't too sure about how it looked. I'm not very tall so really anything I wear is gonna look kinda off but the sweats tucked into the boots kinda exaggerated it.

Not much detail, sorry.

Perforated cotton scuba hoodie - BBS
L/S top - Uniqlo
Memphis jeans - Rick Owens
Side zip creeper - Rick Owens

this is great all-around.

then if you don't care ... don't be so defensive.

Dude, you were the one barking and he barely reacted, how can you call him defensive

one thing i've learned being short - i don't wear long slim tops with slim bottoms and low footwear. elongated rick look works no matter the height i guess - but the proportions must be right. drop crotch is a must. also, i think it's best to go a bit boxy, without narrowing the silhouette.

awesome rick shirt, btw.

Yeah honestly I'm still learning when it comes to tailoring proportions to my height. I'll get it down eventually.


Thanks!

/\ second version is much better.

snafu, I don't know why you've become such a dick over the past year. Trying to carry on merz's legacy? If the new rules have passed you by, I'm more than happy to remind you of them.

this is great all-around.

Thank you and 550BC. Probably gonna get lost in the beating rickandjulius is getting. :-)

Ha, sorry. Didn't mean to cause such a stir.

not wearing a white shirt with black bottoms will go a long way toward fixing your issues. when you're short and trying to pull off longer tops, black on black is your friend.

Good point! I just didnt like the black version of this so much but I might look into getting it. I'll have to try it on first.

[TriggerDiscipline]

Different version.

I want to see this with a blazer or a jacket
