I’m a middle aged white dude with some serious dad bod. That’s what
Show threadSanctimoniousApeMar 10
But this is perfect distraction from that fact! You simply must give it a whirl! Your kids will either love you for it, or get as far away from you as possible in shame - either way, you win!

Why would I want to distract from my dad bod?

Not into big jackets. I got hot really easy and get exasperated with my own clothes.
Show threadSanctimoniousApeMar 10
So you like to be naked, you say? That could be hot, indeed…

color vision. I don’t want to look like a paint sample collection.

I live in a place with short and mild winters, so I can only realistically wear that many layers in two separate weeks where it gets freezing. I do wear similar colorful stuff but only as a second layer (jacket, hoodie, or sweater).
Show threadmossy_Mar 10

thank you

I love layers but live in a place where I put all my jackets away for nine months out of the year. Dressing like this would be a health hazard

Just no respect for others, aye?

I am an adult and I understand that that whole “look” now was engineered right under our noses by LVMH. I say this as someone who used to obsessively check KanyeToThe, Superfuture, rawrdenim. I was effay and I battled in those r/streetwear WDYWT? Threads to get enough karma to make my own posts

Any fit pics from your previous life?
Show threadamniotic druidMar 10

Here’s one that I don’t think I ever shared anywhere. Only posting this because of how bad dated it is, probably 11 years ago. I was a broke, closetted, landlocked teen trying to impress internet strangers with a pizza-flipper wage.

TBH, I’m worried to post much more out of fear that a reverse image search will lead to an old forum account from the days that I overshared everything and I don’t necessarily want that tied back here.

Understandable. Both fits look good tho. Don’t need big money for a fire fit 👏
Show threadamniotic druidMar 10

Good, but chasing the Gosha and Yeezy/FoG (not FOG, that shit came later and I remember when it was a Pacsun collab) looks way too hard.

I like to think I do a more natural-to-me look nowadays.

The first two’s shirt and pants ensemble came from Salvation Army literally three days ago.

Pic 3 features Brooks Brothers Eliott pants, I love these things and have a few different colors.

#4 is with the Tarvas x BlackbirdSpyplane Moss Wanderers shoes. BBSP and their little “universe” of outlets and writers is pretty much my only source of modern style these days and I proseletyze others to do the same whenever I get the chance

My decade old Goodwill black leather belt appears in all three outfits and is on my personal 7 days a week

Only thing stopping me is a link to the jacket. Well maybe the price tag also, but I’d wear it for sure.

I don’t look good in that bright or clashing of colors. Also that lipstick is a few shades too bright for me
Show threadZorqueMar 10
I don’t have the right shade of lipstick.

I would totally wear that jacket but not the rest. I’m too thick to pull off skin tight pants (and they’re super uncomfortable for me) but I love the jacket!

The Ringling Brothers, most likely.
Show threadBeesbeesbeesMar 10
I would, but I’m 5 ft so I think the big jacket would be like one of those full body pajamas.

I would absolutely rock the Lego jacket by itself (and do own a color-block jacket) but not in that specific outfit combination.

Damn, i was just gonna say: the fact that i don’t own a opel harlequin is stopping me
Show threadSkaveRatMar 10

Fun fact: these are a limited edition, and every color combination is unique

And there are websites who track them:

So when you register this car what color do you put down that it is?
Show threadSkaveRatMar 10
“yes”

Oh, I get to share a bit of my useless knowledge! The rear quarter panel and roof is the original body color and how it would be recorded. In this example, that’s a yellow Harlequin.
