What's your "style"? Post pics and describe!

[sonick]

Show us what you wear from your day to day life!

Are you sporty, rockin basketball shorts + shoes and NBA jersey?
Preppy with Khakis, a Polo, and a sweater draped over your shoulder?
Grunge/Rock, with baggy jeans, plaid shirt and a kurt cobain t-shirt?

Here's me (showin' off the selvedge redlines):

Pictured:
- Levi's Capital E Selvedge 501
- Banana Republic Fitted Tee
- American Apparel unlined California Hoodie
- Adidas Rod Lavers

"Simply Casual" is my style. All the basics, t-shirt (both graphic and plain), jeans, sneakers. I'm picky, however. I demand everything to be well fitting, nicely put together, with minimal branding. Nothing loud or gaudy.

Pretty much jeans 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year.

Other shoes in my daily rotation:
- Converse Hi-Top Chuck Taylors (Black w/ Red stitching/lining)
- Adidas Samba
- Lacoste sneakers (only when I really feel like flashing a brand)

Other Jeans in my daily rotation:
- Diesel Zathans
- Gap 1969 straight fit
- Levi's Rigid Premium Skinner (out of commission, shrank to testicle-owning proportions)

This is me dressed up for a night on the town:

Salvage or selvage? Are you still growing?

Clue me in please. I like your night out of town setup... very modest but quite full of flair at the same time.

My day to day wardrobe consists of Walmart Fruit of the Loom t shirts, Gap hoodie and jeans. I'm usually buying my unmentionables at Walmart because they're comfort level are acceptable and I don't have to worry about breaking the bank for that. The rest is basically a one stop shop at Gap.

[sonick]

Salvage or selvage? Are you still growing?
Taken from StyleForum's Denim Terminology Guide: (http://www.styleforum.net/showthread.php?t=9640)

Selvage (Selvedge) Denim

Selvage and selvedge mean exactly the same thing - different companies spell it differently and there apparently is no "right" way to spell it. It comes from the phrase "self-edge" which refers to the edge being finished by the loom instead of sewn together after weaving. [thanks Geowu]. Selvage is the term commonly used to refer to denim that has been produced on a shuttle loom. Since the amount of fabric produced from a shuttle loom is significantly narrower than a projectile (wide) loom, the cotton consumption is higher and the time required is greater. In selvage jeans, you will see the actual edge of the fabric where the weaving stops and is finished by the loom, as opposed to denim woven on a projectile loom, where the fabric has been cut off at the ends. The "redline" selvage is Levi's signature and was used in all their jeans up to 1982, before Cone Mills nixed them for the more modern projectile looms, which are faster and much more efficient.

Close-up of the Selvedge Seam:

http://xc7.xanga.com/45ca9b765703575275496/w50837801.jpg

Basically it means that it uses more fabric = higher quality denim.

I'm 20, so I don't think I'll be doing much more growing (I'm 5' 8", about average for a chinese guy).

I like your night out of town setup... very modest but quite full of flair at the same time.Yeah, thats exactly the kind of look I like to go for. Something that stands out and looks nice without any loud flashy trendy brands.

Its all about proper fit, and then mixing and matching colors and styles for that added 'flair' (although it sounds kind of gay, :lol: ). Like in my pic, well fitting blazer and jeans, for contrasting colors there's the Bright Red tee + Clean White shirt + Dark Charcoal blazer, then for contrasting styles there's the Shirt/Blazer + Jeans + Converse Chucks.

You have great style but for me, that's breaking the bank. Damnit I can't wait to start working!!

You have great style but for me, that's breaking the bank. Damnit I can't wait to start working!!Thanks, but this thread is not all about me! I want you all to post your styles.

And honestly, my outfit did not break the bank, my T-shirt cost $8, and my jeans were $30 (Levi's Outlet Mall).

You can go to GAP and Old Navy and put together a similar combo for undder $100! A $30 pair of jeans from ON, $15 t-shirt and $40 hoodie from GAP.

Just remember, FIT is key.

Also, getting a job at GAP doesn't hurt either, coz you can get discounts at all Gap Inc. stores (Old Navy, GAP, Banana Republic) ;)

Hey we have the same color with stripe blazer (I got it from GAP). I'm having a hard time thinking of what to wear underneath.

I don't really like GAP or Old navy. They are kind of too plain for me (too white) and they're fitted for (fat) americans. H&M is my favourite store currently but slowly adjusting to club monaco because they feel tailored to my body (i'm not rich or anything but I do plan to buy shirts from there because they are an investment). The most important part about buying clothes is make sure they fit you well. If you find a brand that has cuts that fit you perfectly, no matter what you wear, you won't be sloppy and look cheap.

Currently, it's black+white stripe T from H&M, solid black hoody from american apparel, low rise+straight leg dark wash jeans from American eagle, white high top converse chucks.

http://www.clubmonaco.com/082006/images/m1.jpg
This will be my fall style except change the black jeans to a dark blue, the tie to knit tie (because it looks more street than formal), sleeves folded up, can be worn with high top white converse or an army boot i think. and change belt to http://shop.hm.com/media/products/425/DL425_54164_09090_01_2487.jpg

[sonick]

Haha, i bet we have the same blazer.

Yes, GAP in itself is quite plain, but because of it, quite good for mixing with other styles because it doesn't overwhelm.

I'm skinny, and I find esprit shirts fit me very well. CM is a tad big.

I wish we had an H&M on the west coast, I hear they have some decent denim. Right now I'm looking for a slimmer-fitting straight leg dark jean.

The one you mention from AE I think i've tried on. Did it feel like, kind of stiff when you first got them?

That look from CM is pretty chill. I haven't had the balls to pull of a tie in a casual setting yet. Dunno where to find slim ties suitable for that look (any suggestions?)

[yuwing8]

yah CM gives me more room to turn and stuff. H&M is a bit tight for me. I wonder how those europeans get so skinny lol! I'm chinese, I'm supposed to be more skinny than europeans!

The one you mention from AE I think i've tried on. Did it feel like, kind of stiff when you first got them?

I don't have much experience with jeans. They feel okay to me. If they're comfortable to you, u should get it. Jeans are always stiff when u first wear it from wash or from store(?). just stretch it with ur legs and couch and stuff.... it should be okay.

That look from CM is pretty chill. I haven't had the balls to pull of a tie in a casual setting yet. Dunno where to find slim ties suitable for that look (any suggestions?)
I found a tie from le chateau that's knit to keep it non-formal yet have the look of it. Ties are always neat.. I don't have balls to pull off one either but I do wear them at work sometimes (being receptionist). and i'm also 20 (starting 3rd yr uni).

[NiftyScent]

I have a slim rectangular build too. I find CM has a great fit. I don't find it loose at all. Maybe try a smaller size?

BTW, what's with young guys always wearing a t-shirt underneath a dress shirt? I think it looks ugly and childish. Try wearing the dress shirt by itself. A high quality shirt should not be see-through.

I wear them underneith for function, I button up my dress shirts overtop (not leaving them open) as a result. The function: when you sweat, you don't see a big-ass round sweat/salt stain on your collared shirts. The tee underneith takes care of that. To that extent, i've almost NEVER understood the purpose of a wifebeater underneith a collared shirt, as it provides no protection from the aforementioned cause.

[sonick]

When I wear dress shirts formally, tucked in, I wear a v-neck undershirt that is not visible.

However, when I wear casual dress shirts, I go either way.

[xiLLeNtz]

how much was that blazer wooooo

[bmwmini]

how much was that blazer wooooo

You know what? You can make virtually any suit jacket a blazer, wear it with jeans and you'll look good. Just as long as it's a darker blazer, the lighter ones (beiges, whites, creams) don't go too well with dark blue jeans.

[kent1992]

FCUK or Guess fitted T-shirt (usually XS or S and I'm 5 8) with slim stonewashed jeans. For shoes I wear Chucks, Reebok classics or RBK suede racing style shoes. That's what I usually wear in the summer. Sometimes with a slim fitting dress shirt instead of a T-shirt.. Maybe I'll post pics later..

[blizzah]

A striped polo from Hollister, Gap, AE, BR etc
Or a Tshirt from same above companies.
Sometimes will wear a simple Nike shirt or something for more comfort.

Regular fit jeans from CK, Gap, Levis.

Nike Dunk Low SB brown one, AF1 Low white/white, Puma Liga, Adidas Muhammad Ali, Perry Ellis mid suede.

Pretty basic style lol.

I was gonna get Vans first but then I saw Duffs.

http://www.duffs.com/bts2006/images/dude-0-wht-s1.jpg

Got them for $35 +tax in at Foot Locker with the Friends and Family sale (30% off). It goes for $50 without the discount.

I took them over Vans because I loved the black contrast lining and it was dirt cheap as well.

Only some FL carry them. I've only seen them at the Younge/Eglington, Eaton Centre, Younge/Dundas and Queen street.

Edit: Ack, you live in Vancouver.

Basically it means that it uses more fabric = higher quality denim.

It seems like every company and their mother are coming out with selvage denim now. GAP has some coming out (or is it already out? I haven't seen it yet) this fall I think. I'm not exactly seeing what's supposed to be so great about it to justify it's almost 2x the price tag of non-selvage denim.

First off, is it the actual denim that is different, or just the edge of it that gets stitched up along the legs? If it's just the edge, well I've never had a problem with the edges of jeans coming frayed, ripped or torn so I fail to see why selvage would be worth the additional cost.

I'm not a part of the Walmart Jeans = Old Navy jeans = GAP jeans = Club Monaco Jeans = PDC/7s/Nudies/etc jeans crowd, but I do think that there is a point on the quality scale where unless you're making your jeans out of a cotton-titanium-kryptonite blend you cannot get any better. Fit and style are highly debatable, and depend on personal tyle and body type. I find jeans with excessive fading (caused by wear, or artificial) to be hideous. I don't like rips or tears. I don't like loose fitting, baggy, or tight fitting jeans. It just bothers me that some companies add a certain feature to enhance the quality of their jeans (selvage, better rivets, better stiching, etc) that cost a buck or two more to make, and yet they feel justified in doubling the price. It's quite obvious that this is done to make a brand more prestigious, and not available to "the poor, huddled masses" - but I don't like it when it's used as a "quality" selling point like "these jeans will last much longer because they are selvage denim".

And it's not just jeans that do this - the act of adding features that one would expect to be a part of a quality piece of clothing. It seems like every company is just out there to cut corners on cheap things that are expected, only to eventually end up putting these items on a "premium line" and doubling the price (and fattening the profit margins as well). I know every company does this. We see it in cars, we see it in appliances, food, electronics, etc. Consumerism has reached a point where the companies now have us paying more than we should for a minimum level of quality that we demand.

Wow, sorry to go off on a ranty, drunken, anti-establisment, egalitarian tangent. :) I just wanted to know more about selvage...

[PlayerOne]

I'm in engineering and have a few big midterms coming up in 2 days

so what do I do? everything BUT study of course! i'm sure all of you know what i'm talking about, when you have a big thing coming up, your to-do list just gets long as hell haha, and they're all things that can wait

anyhow, I was bored, and decided to try out smthing i saw on tv once, or at least similar to it

so what do you guys/gurls think? Is it too much? Is it "the now"? too old fashioned? makes me look too old? (i'm 19)

Basically it's a white top, my old suit jacket, and a random pair of jeans

note: yes my room is messy, and i'm damn proud of it :lol:

I usually sport the "these are the clothes my wife bought me" style. :D

[Cruel_Angel]

What is it with blazers nowadays with jeans.... !!?!?!?!?

Just like wearing a pair of 7's and a lacoste polo, it gives the illusion of style. Its sorta one of those things where it doesn't look gay, so anybody can do it, but everybody does do it, so it's kinda lost its appeal espically if the jacket isn't fitted, or the jeans and the T's are sloppy. When done right it looks great, when done wrong its just boaring.

It's almost everybody got the same tip from queer eye 3 years ago, and it caught on like wild fire.

[D-Sisive]

lol, it was a valid question

i have a closet/drawer that has nice clothes and grungy ones, have clothes from one type to another

so that makes me a fashion bandwagoner?

[sonick]

You're just like the old fogies who thought "what is with all these whippersnappers these days wearing jeans everywhere?!" back when previously jeans were strictly workwear for blue-collar laborers.

[vtz]

In high school I rocked baggy gear and brands such as akademiks, enyce, phat farm.

But now that im in University I realized that that style was 'ewww'. So I completely cleared my closet, got my jeans hemmed (thus not so baggy) and bought somewhat fitted hoodies and sweaters from brands such as LRG, Roots, AE, and H&M.

But buying jeans from designer stores are still an issue for me cuz its too tight and goes places I dont like. Dunno what to do about the problem, got used to looser jeans.

[SwiZz]

I like to wear a mix.

I most often wear urban clothing...so jeans + some kinda sweater/shirt/t-shirt + white shoes

but i also like wearing khakis and a bit more dressy shirts...i think preppy is nice

.....any others out there that wear completey different styles at different times? i just liek how each looks....i duno if its gay or not to always be changing styles heh.......some ppl wonder why i dress urban, then completely switch to liek preppy ish

im slowly trying to move away from urban though...not too fond of the big ass shirts anymore heh......i still like urban hoodies....or some urban sweaters (the nice ones) are still pretty nice....i have this phat farm sweater that im in love with, but i wear it with a preppy outfit, it looks good. maybe i'll post up pics later

[orly]

I only cuff these jeans to show the selvedge, I don't cuff 'em on my other jeans, they're hemmed.

Why?

*raises hand!*

I follow the same rules. Back in high school it was baggy all the way. All those hardcore urban gear.

Now I just do a complete mix of things. Somedays I'm skater, sometimes preppy, sometimes casual, sometimes gino(dont ask :D), and sometimes even urban like back in the day. It's good, I like it. Being well dressed makes you more confident of yourself and shows personality. Atleast that's what I think. :)

[sonick]

Why?At first for the novelty of it. But then I decided against it and now I don't hem them, I just let the extra length stack on top of my shoe.

[brutal]

i think everyone should have different styles for different days, as goes by the mood...for me the main thing is...it doesn't have to be brand name, the combo has to match and as long it looks good on you, it's good

[Mems]

Yea, most of the time when I wear my hoodies, its half zip but this one, the hoodie the end of it is not like tight so it like dangles and it feels annoying.

Doing so reminds me of people who purposely buy a certain shirt with a huge logo on the front, just to show off that they own something from that brand. Lame but at least you decided against it.

I only buy Juicy Counture's blazers......they have very good slim fit, and a comparable good price with Italian brands.

no interest on their other stuff, I give my love of hoodies and track jackets to Diesel and Fcuk.

I've seen & heard of such finds at Winners; Evisu, Diesel, Energie, Edwin, etc. Rare but it does happen and seems to be more of a luck thing (you just happen to visit the store when a new shipment arrives.)
Even Target sells True Religion jeans now.

Really Target? they sell True Religion.....hmmm must mean the brand is "really mainstream" now, lol

I used to buy Big Star clothing when it was still made in Italy...now its become a crap brand and supposedly sold by Zellers too I hear.
I remember when u could only get Airwalk shoes at like Top of the World and other "cool" stores....now thats a Zellers cheapo brand too:o

[satisfcuktion]

Blazer w/ shorts is actually a "fad" arising from runways. A lot of models from last season's fall edition showed a ton of guys wearing blazers w/ preppy plaidish shorts. Looks OK in my opinion as long as its played right w/ the perfect length/width of the shorts and the right type of shoes.

BTW - the sleeve length on your blazer is too long.

It should be shorter and should break at or about your wrist bone ...not come close to touching the knuckles on your hand ( as yours does ).

Who sold you this blazer anyway ?

he said it was a tristan and america jacket...
so im guessing its not exactly fitted or tailored.

Do they sell them in xs/s/m/l/lrg in that store? or do they go by Numbers?

yea it was tristan and america.

I believe it came in s/m/l large sizes, nothing adjusted on it. Yes, I'm considering shortening the sleeves, I find its only slightly long. I dont want it as short as a suit jacket as it's a casual blazer which would sometime be worn without a dress shirt. If i shortened it to hit the wristbone, it might look short as there is no 1/4 -1/2" of cuff to show and lengthen the visual length of the sleeve.
I have a peacoat that I ordered off ebay that hits at my wrist, though an entirely different from the blazer, it looks definitely too short. It does however look kinda cool with a red long sleeve shirt. The contrast between the red "cuff" and black sleeve is neat and the bit of red cuff lengthens the look of the sleeve to make it look right.

how many exclusive boutiques called "von dutch" are there in japan? worldwide?

when was the last time von dutch had their own catalogues, or the creator was asked to organized a gucci event?

sorry i didn't really get ur point... everyone might be like 5 a day at yorkdale? von dutch was literally on everyone... 50 a day at yorkdale? and bape has always been exclusive and will continue to be. they still produce mostly the same amount of items for each drop (maybe it has increased a little lately...) since when did 500 ppl line up for 25 items at von dutch stores?? they produce as much as the public can consume, but that's not true for bape.... so again to reinforce the point, bape can't be compared to von dutch....

the everyone you mention are 99% fakes. of the 5 a day you see at yorkdale, probably only 1 or 2 or even none are wearing authentic bape.

and yes, i do know the whole meaning behind "a bathing ape"

The fit is perfect IMO. Jacket's right length- length of sleeves, I think, is right as well-- I don't like having sleeves cutoff at the wrists if it's something casual (someone mentioned this already). I looks like he's going for a preppy but still casual look- with tighter jeans, it may just end up looking preppy and boring.

Yes, brand names doesn't automatically = cool -- I'm sure people know that. But seriously, did you have to put the thrift store, and money waste bit in there? That's how flame wars get started.

Good example of terms being loosely flung around also. Tight jeans? Not like his is a "loose/baggy cut", look at the crotch and hip area - its not "loose". By fit, it means the cutting of the pants itself, along w/ the proper hemming of the inseam. Its not a matter of "loose" jeans or not, its whether of not it FITS.

"I just don't like tight jeans" - you're not going to be wearing loose jeans your whole life. Sooner or later, you're gonna notice how much of a clown you looked and eventually slip into straight/tapered cut pants/jeans. Don't use the "comfort" excuse too, because if comfort is what you wanted, you wouldn't wear denim, you'll wear sweatpants or something light weighted. And by saying that phrase, it doensn't send the message of "I am well endowed" over to others. Not implying you did, but I'm just being an e-troll now and venting online.

Its a post your own style. if thats the guys style, whats the point of even saying terrible fit. fit is all subjective. Perhaps to a sufu/SF audience (A MINORITY) it may be "terrible" based on their standards, but to others it may be great. People need to stop trying to shove their style down other peoples throats.

This thread looks like its going to go to the shits just like the other one and in very much the same fashion.

No. YOU don't care. You don't pay attention to what you wear. How can you say for other people that they don't care?

And what point are you trying to make with your two lines of incomprehensible nonsense? I said wear stuff that fit. It's not just what you wear. Its the image of a civilized society that you are presenting.

As long as you look good to yourself, I don't understand why people need to buy expensive clothes to make themselves look good and therefore feel good. Kind of sad.

Maybe to you, clothes don't hold a whole lot of value. But given that you are like every other normal person, you have hobbies and you satisfy yourself by purchasing things that others might regard as ridculous because they can't justify it in their mind. We buy what we value. Why do you think we're as advanced as we are? We don't NEED a lot of the things we have, but we still have them. So every consumer is "sad" because they buy stuff they don't need?

Grow up. The fact is we all judge other people. You think you're making a point by defending a "wear whatever" attitude but you judge others just as much as any other person, but maybe on a different level. I'm sure you have a hobby or interest and spend an amount of money that I cannot justfiy in my mind. Does that make it "sad"? No.

To have nice clothes is one thing. To be vain, self-centred and condescending is another. People often just throw these things together when it doesn't neccessarily relate.

Fabulaz, you gotta get outside of that small world you're in...no1 gives a **** about what you wear.

[goffeebeans]

As long as you look good to yourself, I don't understand why people need to buy expensive clothes to make themselves look good and therefore feel good. Kind of sad.

The argument is not really about expensive clothes, its about clothes that fit according to their standards.

but to say nobody cares about how you look is quite a stretch, particularly with first impressions where you dont know anything about them. After you get to know them, thats another story. nobody thinks along the line of your example
"I met a man today, he had a nice Armani suit but he was a prick....but he's a good man..Armani suit!
I met a man today, wore a nice pair of jeans and a shirt...awesome personality. But I HATE HIM, he dresses so blah."

Now if, the guy with a pair of jeans and shirt, gives off the image of a prick, even though he is a great guy, nobody/less people are going to approach him.
If the guy in the suit gives off the image that he's a great guy, more people are going to approach him, regardless if hes a prick.

The only person that cares about how you dress is yourself, but thats not to say that its not going to affect how they interact with you. Probably the only people that would have a vested interest in how your dress are the people that may be affected by your appearance. ie employers, wife/gf or whoever.

I don't think it's really about 'impressing' people. It's to look presentable. I'd say it's something similar to good hygiene. When you shower it's not to impress people, rather it's to not stink up the place.

obviously when you wear designer clothes you can claim to "feel" the difference (which I can understand with shirts etc, but not necessarily jeans) but to other people looking on it's just the design of the shirt (assuming they don't see a label). a $10 shirt could have a cool design vs a $150 LV tshirt with no design. the $10 shirt would be more interesting :cheesygri

I don't care how the back of your jeans look. My guess is probably just that stitched on "chrome?" DG on the ass-pocket. Loud as hell, so it won't be another story. If it wasn't DG, the fit is still bad. Quit thinking you're getting the attention because we're "hating" on you for wearing DG. You wear it horribly.

Well it doesn't matter really about the money, I like the sweatshirt, it was cheap for about $30.00 :P so I bought it. Of course i wouldn't be able to afford a $150 shirt atm.. :/ and chances are I wouldn't spend so much on the clothing unless i really like it..

I don't think baggy, loose fitting couture counts as a "style". Loose fitting is reserved for people "rocking" Enyce and Phat Farm. If you're going to wear a five-grand outfit, wear it so it fits.

I guess your right :/ lol, but i just think he was rubbing it anyways, as for loose fitting, in my case I wear something like: except I dont have designs or anything on them but thats how loose my pants are usually, I don't like the harsh loose look either, but the tight look is imo more feminine, I say that because I've had my parents getting me something tight and its very uncomfortable, because the jeans wrap tight around your thigh's when your sitting down or crouching.. and I don't wanna show off my legs :/ thats why I wear something slightly baggy :)

[Fabulaz]

Wearing jeans loose is fine. Just that when you wear it with a blazer it looks really off. It's like wearing a fedora, then a tee with unicorns and rainbows, then leather pants with studs and spikes and chains, and keds for shoes. Doesn't go down well.

[jayboogie]

Blazers and loose fitting jeans clash and don't go together in most cases. There's probably the rare case where someone can pull it off, but it doesn't mean anyone can do it.

I would actually second that comment that working out and being in shape makes clothes look better on you. I guess being shape makes you more confident and feel better about yourself in the first place though. I definitely couldn't pull off most of the outfits that are being shown on here, I don't have the same body composition.

yes its cheaper than Dolce & Gabbana because its different in design/style and some fabric selections but that because its aimed at different demographic groups. D&G, Miu Miu, JPG, is aimed at the younger groups and expand their markets.

When it comes to "high brands", "cheaper" means lower class. Even at Holt's D&G is never mixed with Dolce&Gabanna. D&G has constantly made horrible designs ie. the tees with the HUGE "D&G" at the front, while Dolce&Gabanna are the ones who has made a few selected timeless pieces that are subtle. D&G is SAID to be targetted towards younger clientelle, but its obviously lower par in terms of quality and design.

Funny how you said, "wait until you see the back of my jeans". The "other story" it lead to was totally horrendous.

Yeah it does. Take Mercedes Benz for example. The C and B class were added onto their lineup of vehicles only to try to capture the "younger" / "lower income" groups and expand their market. This, along w/ the lower price tag, sacrificed the exclusiveness and QUALITY of build in their cars. Same thing applies.

The first problem here is you are comparing cars with fashion, 2 completely different industries different marketing and very different products so I don't even want to go down this path.

As for fashion, Dolce & Gabbana carries suits, nice dress shirts, plain Ts, ties, clean lines... etc. so how many teenagers think about buying a suit? You may not like D&G's style but those labels differ by style not by class.

With the m65, there is no collar to pop.. its designed like that. At least for a version of the jacket like that.

That's right... on the M65, the collar is upright. Some fashion-replicas of M65s have no zip collars, and can lie flat, like a blazer collar. It's also fine on peacoats and serves a purpose in colder weather. I've popped my collar when golfing in cases where I forgot to put sunscreen on my neck. It's not a fashion show on the links anyway, so I don't give a damn what some 70 year old man thinks of my collar ;)

Who was it that actually did that? Oprah? Didn't she buy 2 pairs of pants and got them made into one or someting?

[Ix2L]

This summer I'm going frat boy stylez. Overpriced brand name shoes, overpriced polos + stripy shirts, overpriced jeans. I've given up on "cool internet skinny guy style" (nudies, spruce polos, and chucks) after realizing that polos/jeans suit my frat boy body type. Sort of like the guys in the pic :D
no more frat boys please, i had to wait for the girlfriend to shop at hollister and abercrombie for 2 hours. just so she could use the change room, you should of seen how long those lines were.

i love waiting in hollister. those chairs are so comfy you could fall asleep

or the couches at the back of american eagle.

[veejam]

i love hollister and a&f, not the clothes but the girls who work there and their outfits. thats why i don't mind when my gf or my gal pals wanna shop there.

Only changeroom privileges would justify going to Hollister with a chick.

[zabuza]

Random threadless tees, zip hoodies (AA fit), jeans, white nikes and sometimes a cap. I like to wear shirts with jeans, too.

[Fabulaz]

Anyone else care/dare to post their style?

[relativity]

Depending on setting for me. Jeans (most of mine are Energie, I think Diesel is too common IMO) and a dark top (Energie, D&G or AX). I've gained a recent liking to Hugo Boss shoes. I often look like a Steve Jobs lookalike, sometimes wearing white sneakers. Dressier, I'll probably wear a button up shirt and maybe dressier pants.

i think whoever criticizes another person's style should def post their own pics up for others to judge. Maybe experience how it feels like when not every single person on rfd agrees wit their style.......

As for my opinion, i def like a lot of the clothes that everyone's posted. I dunt think there is such a thing as the "right style" if u wanted to complain about how sloppy one looked, i suggest u head over to your local mall and flame all the elderly ppl for not getting fitted t shirts or fitted jeans, esp with the ole "omg u look freaking sloppy" quote

Awww...how cute!

[me0kat]

I really don't identify myself with any style. I never shop in just one place and I don't care for brands.
I usually like simple outfits that won't go out of style easily. I'm also pretty frugal, so my main destinations are outlet stores like Winners, Tj Maxx, Marshalls. I tend to shop for things that are on sale.

I get sucked into certain current trends, like leggings, Ugg Boots or slim pants..
The only things I invest in are handbags, coats or quality boots/shoes.

I'm really tall and skinny, so I like slim fitting clothes, but I think I can pull off any look.

[heavyweight]

this summer i'll be wearing
Burberry/DKNY/Kenneth Cole polo or button up,
Sacred Blue/Oleg Cassani jeans,
random shoes (jordans, hightop nike shox, diesel dress shoes, aldo sandles)
white gold chain and diamond pendant
armani belt

mix and match all go great together in any combo. Thats what I will be wearing to party for the next few months.

[Fabulaz]

i like the fit on the top right...

however the poses yes are feminine, and would definitely not question the homosexuality of a man posed like that.

[nolimtzel]

wow some of u guys needs to bulk up...i dont think its normal that a guy is like 140lbs and wears size 28 jeans.
u can be 180lbs and still be ripped.

[DarkGiygas]

I really like that bottom right outfit. :-0

[frogger]

The poses and the build are so effeminate, the clothes are the last thing I notice.

[Fabulaz]

Thank you sir. I was going for the androgynous look.

You on the other hand, should probably rethink the way social norms have influenced fashion.
Open your mind. What you perceive as "effeminate" is just a deviation from your idea that guys should be wearing oversized clothing.

He said nothing about your clothing. in fact he said that didn't even notice the clothing.

[Fabulaz]

In that case, he must be a fool to think big build equates masculinity.

[afici0nad0]

low rise boot cut and/or slim fit low rise boot cut jeans/pants. not brand-specific (cheaper the price, the better for me).

plain tshirt (i.e. v-neck undershirt).

shoes: jordan signatures, retro running shoes (i.e. nike AMs, reebok ventilators), pumas, diesels.

[hsd1]

I go anywhere from Polo's to Jordan tee's

but it all comes down to the shoes for me: always rockin a fresh pair of jordans

[df329]

In that case, he must be a fool to think big build equates masculinity.

i gotta disagree with you here even tho you can do those really "sexy" poses :twisted:

real man are big and broly

Are those g-unit kicks?:evil:

Show us what you wear from your day to day life!

Are you sporty, rockin basketball shorts + shoes and NBA jersey?
Preppy with Khakis, a Polo, and a sweater draped over your shoulder?
Grunge/Rock, with baggy jeans, plaid shirt and a kurt cobain t-shirt?

Here's me (showin' off the selvedge redlines):

Pictured:
- Levi's Capital E Selvedge 501
- Banana Republic Fitted Tee
- American Apparel unlined California Hoodie
- Adidas Rod Lavers

"Simply Casual" is my style. All the basics, t-shirt (both graphic and plain), jeans, sneakers. I'm picky, however. I demand everything to be well fitting, nicely put together, with minimal branding. Nothing loud or gaudy.

Pretty much jeans 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year.

Other shoes in my daily rotation:
- Converse Hi-Top Chuck Taylors (Black w/ Red stitching/lining)
- Adidas Samba
- Lacoste sneakers (only when I really feel like flashing a brand)

Other Jeans in my daily rotation:
- Diesel Zathans
- Gap 1969 straight fit
- Levi's Rigid Premium Skinner (out of commission, shrank to testicle-owning proportions)

This is me dressed up for a night on the town:

So yeah, I definitely love to mix up the high and low fashion, I find it gives my look more depth, and more enjoyable to wear. No problem with rocking a cheap $5 Giordano a-shirt if it makes me look good.

Not sure how I would sum up my style in a sentence.. probably monochrome rock. Actually I use my clothes to express my own idea mostly, so my style changes almost every year, I guess. So definitely, a lot of the things that are really driven on the internet, I dislike, like tapered jeans (Nudies, etc.) as I think having a body does look good. Anyways, I don't care that I do things that people hate, like popped collars, or on lapels, etc.

thanks man, you know any good places to get Jordans...i usually go down to Eaton Center foot locker n all or look online n stuff how about you?

[Jay Hova]

Let's give this another go, I'll start it off...

Before I begin, have a few things to say.

Remember everyone: 'Beauty is in the eye of the beholder'. Just like style, it varies from person to person. Some posters in this thread may think wearing excessively skinny jeans constitutes as stylish. I, like many others have different definitions of style.

When I look at someone, I look at them collectively, not piece by piece. I think Fabulaz was criticizing Kent because his jeans didn't fit. In my opinion, Kent's jeans were just alright. Again, in my eyes there was collectively nothing wrong with what he was wearing, however different people have different interpretations. But if Kent were to wear baggy FUBU jeans, I'd have found it weird...cause at a quick glance, it wouldn't seem nice...some may have not.

So, what do I think is style? I think everyone has style, and like beauty, I find certain styles nice and others not.

The problem arises when people think their style is the best bar-none, but this is an issue... as style... as mentioned before, is subjective...it's all in one's interpretation of style.

So let's begin...
http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/7655/img1hz7.jpg
I took this picture about a month ago, wore this two weekends ago.
-So the sweater is a black Calvin Klein, Italian Merino Wool.
-Below, is a dress shirt with a polka-dotted pattern, between the circles are light blue shapes. I tucked the collar, to create an illusion of a longer neck.
-the jeans, aren't really apart of the photo. But I went with a dark wash, there are whiskers.

I will admit, this probably wasn't executed well. But...I'm not trying to create a particular image/style/scene or anything. I've seen argyle or various geometric patterns to be popular at stores like Mexx and H&M...but I just don't like it :|

Ackh ya.
http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/8724/img2iz8.jpg
So this was from last night, posed like this for humor's sake.
-A standard black wool jacket, Dockers.
-The jeans are light was, Calvin Klein...you may remember my thread :lol:
-The scarf was from Mexx, a little more white would've added some contrast.

As you can see, my style is very conservative...although playful. I like to keep it classic and timeless..sure, skinny jeans may be the rage...but a classic pair of jeans is always nice. A sweater, good ol' sweater, mix it up..wear a color that matches and works with your shirt underneath. KISS, keep it simple silly. I see people wearing Bape...yikes................crazy patterns.

Mind you, this is what I wear when going out...during the week (school) you can see me walking around downtown with sweatpants, Crocs and hoody/sweatshirt, same coat, maybe a Blue Jays hat as well.Too lazy to spend more than 2 minutes getting dressed.

[anycee]

I'm still at it. A&F polo, TR jeans, Lacoste shoes/AF1s every day. Durable clothes that girls like and which take no effort.

Hm, what's with the gloves?

[Vashin]

[megalison]

Hmm.. Im kinda of in a transition from urban loose clothing like Ecko, shady ect. to a above-average lifestyle kind of style. Mind you i'm not even considered adult-age yet...

This is what I wear daily... may post pics later:

Pair of glasses
Adidas/Bape/A&F t-shirt
A hoody, various brands here from Ice Cream BBC to Esprit :D
Pair of straight, a bit closer to loose jeans (Evisu, Levis, True Religion)
Pair of Nike Dunks or SB's.

Sometimes I might sport a fitted as well, shoes are the most important to me, and therefore I usually buy my tops to match shoes.

Yea popped collars almost never work out, except for peacoats. (especially when it's really cold and windy)

I was in Asia for several months and I have seen a LOT of males - locals, expats, tourists - from teens to seniors, sporting the popped collar. WHY???!!!

[Irbe]

Getting a little older now so out with the urban wear.

Office Wear - 4 Days a week
Shirts (Loose to fitted) - Steven Alan, Jcrew, Uniqlo, Obedient Sons and BoO
Khakies - Usually BR or Jcrew, a regular fit. Would like to start to wear slimmer pants, just have not found one that works
Shoes - JV Brogues but usually dark sneakers (W+H/CP) - yes kinda of pushing with dress code but nobody has said anything

Weekend Wear / Casual
Jeans - Love my raw denim so they are my dedicated weekend wear since I don't get to wear the during the day on the weekdays
Tshirts / Thermal - W+H/Wing&Horn and Basestation
Hoodies - W+H/Wings&Horns
Shoes - My sneakers I wear for work :)

Don't know what my style is but I guess burrow from the prep/workwear category (love flannels and EG pieces). I'm way pass the logo being pasted on my clothing/shoes phase - its all about stealth style for me. When buying clothes I usually ask myself "Can I wear this in another 3 years?"
