  • you guys sure are going through a lot of trouble to excuse co-signing camo slacks.

    the whole thing is disgusting.

    i have no problem with that whatsoever. now it's time to recognize the distinction between "different" and "disguting".

    you've spent a whole page trying to justify a look that is poorly put together. time to think different.

    Justify is the wrong word. Critique......dont get it twisted.

    I don't like camo jackets or cargos but I do like the print for women's jeans and slim fit pants on guys...I like when the pattern is taken out of the military context and used as just another print. And I am big fan of the green palette. I have no issue with the pants.

    I would choose a blazer in the blue family before gray, a really light blue or a steely blue (but careful to not get into periwinkle!)...I think gray would weigh everything down, too. I just took another look at the tie, too - it's hideous. The whole above the belt thing has to be looked at.

    You dont like Latifah's Gray Rack?

  • if we want to start talking about having 'daring style' or 'paradigm-shifting male accessorizing', lets' start as far away from the NBA as possible m'kay?

  • bassiebassie 11,710 Posts
    Speaking for myself - I don't give a damn about daring or classic - as long as it looks good. I just took a quick look at this Westbrook fellow's past outfits...he isn't really too wild; he's playing with throwback looks and falling back on present-days trends, too. I feel like he has a good eye and good taste, it just needs a tad refining. Like someone needs to be there when he takes off his clothes to say "Wait a minute, don't put on those pony-print pants just yet. I have another idea."

    How are slim fit pants (as opposed to baggy jawns) on a man the same as painted-on synthetic material items?

  • i'll eat the slim fit part, because i'm as guilty as anyone when it comes to wearing anything slim-fitted, but to suggest that it's a good look for guys to wear a women's print jean is regrettable to say the least. whenever i look in the mirror, i ask myself if i'll be embarassed to see a picture of myself in 5, 10, 25 years. and despite the implications of 'safety' or 'blandness', i assure you that it more than possible to make a statement while not looking positively ridiculous.

    i even tried to greyscale the 'look' to see if it could be fixed.


    NOPE.

    I didn't mean for men to wear women's jeans, I meant I like the camo print on men's slim fits and women's jeans - iffy sentence structure on my part.

    i didn't think you did. just saying.

    making clothing or shoes work within the parameters of mens style will ALWAYS have a better overall effect than stepping outside of them. i'd rather be the coltrane than the davis.

    I've said it before about this pic and I'll say it again - the worst thing in all this is the satin and straw mess on the right.

    I should also mention that I am a terrible dresser.

    even the cat lady on the left seems to have it somewhat together.

    Basketball shoes in (almost) any context other than basketball just looks goofy.

    b/w

    Everything this dude has on is completely disjointed and random.

    Some of you dudes have horrendous...or rather "different" taste in kicks.

    I own those Florsheim x Ducky Brown shoes Nick Wooster is wearing. I also own these:



    I've only worn the shoes a couple times. Pants'll have to wait 'til the weather's right.

    Also, damn you guys like to hear yourself type/talk/mastUrbate. (Batmon, doesn't your phone and/or computer highlight those errors?!)

    More so than anyone else who posts on a message board/FB/Twitter/etc.?

    What does this even mean?

    If we don't post, the Board dies, if we do post, we just like to hear ourselves talk? We're having a conversation - what is the issue?

    Are you the same dude who has posted countless pics of his countless shoes and how they look with specific socks/slacks/record jackets/etc? Or am I thinking of some other strutter?

    Ooooooh burrrrnnnn! It's me, same guy. I'm a hypocrite. Big time. It's a good thing you're not my Facebook friend! You think THIS is bad...

    But yeah, in my mind it's different. I'd rather see people one-up each other with pics than with vivid descriptions. Just my own personal preference.

  • For the record, I read all those posts I 'complained' about. I have no one to blame but myself.

    That's cool.

    The floral pants are pretty bold. What would you wear em with? The yellow brogues?

    Not sure yet, when I tried 'em on originally (at the Trina Turk store in Palm Springs), I was wearing blue Prestos and a white v-neck. They looked pretty fly with that. They went on sale a few months later and I ordered them online. They need to be slimmed, hemmed and tapered up a little 'cause I ordered the wrong size up accidentally. (Fortunately, my lady's a seamstress so she's got it covered.) Definitely something simple, basic and subtly. Definitely NOT the brogues.
