TT, What's your height/weight? From what I remember from the first Magoofest, you are about the same size as me, 5'9" 160. If so, what type of jeans should I be getting-low rise, boot cut, etc.? [/ QUOTE ] I am 6' 1", 185 lbs but slim (33" waist). I think the cut of a jean is a personal preference, what works for one man doesn't work for the next. BUT I firmly believe that you must explore and expand your horizons... experiment. Try something new. TT [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] |

Re: *TT* rates OOT\'s fashion sense
18 yr old college student's daily wear. This is the type of stuff I wear on a day to day basis going to class, hanging around the dorms, etc. For going out to parties or if we are going to a bar, I'll obviously dress different. Thoughts on this type of clothing for day to day wear?

Velvet Blazer, 7 For All Mankind http://img516.imageshack.us/img516/3...m7633mp5ga.jpg [/ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] The blazer is teh gay. [/ QUOTE ] wow, even TT thinks the velvet blazer is gay? I'm kind of surprised, actually. regardless, it is a velvet blazer and it really is an egregious violation of heterosexuality. other random thoughts.. - I was hating on Energie in the other fashion thread, but it seems like some rather hep cats think it's aight. I remain skeptical; "energie" sounds way too flaming for the time being - I'm guessing I would slip into the 2-4 range, tops. |

Re: *TT* rates OOT\'s fashion sense
can you explain what situations a sweater/shirt or blazer/shirt are appropriate for? i was considering getting some of these top zip sweaters or regular sweaters for wearing over shirts but found that at least the regular sweater combos looked very tooly, especially for the situations i'm usually in. something like this pic below seems a lot more casual and is something i'm still considering, though -- what do you think?
http://a116.g.akamai.net/7/116/1463/...9831136544.jpg so right now, i wear either sweater or shirt, never both. i can't get digi pics atm, but what do you think of these JC jeans: http://a116.g.akamai.net/7/116/1463/...9831110619.jpg also, are there vast differences in cashmere quality between, say, Sam's Club sweaters and Loro Piana sweaters? |

jeans from american eagle: http://ae.speedera.net/Images/laydow...3_2806_923.jpg sweater from nordstrom: http://www.princeton.edu/~etostano/1221050134.jpg diesel shoes: http://www.princeton.edu/~etostano/1221050137.jpg watch (which may get left behind, haven't decided yet): http://www.princetonwatches.com/imag...es/0603954.jpg this is pretty standard for me, though buttondown shirt is more common than turtleneck sweater. also, any recs for a good casual belt? the ones i have seem to go with kakhis/slacks more than jeans. |

[/ QUOTE ] The argyle is inside out actually. it's a weird shirt. it's a sweatshirt but the front panel is argyle. the rest of the shirt is sweatshirt style and the vneck comes down really low, like below my nipples (obv i wear a red undershirt). I don't wear the vest much. Most of the time when I wear it it's to go out to dirty clubs where a bright red vest makes me look normal (damned ravers). |

Re: *TT* rates OOT\'s fashion sense
I'm not sure what it is, but I just can't comprehend caring about clothing THIS much.
All I want is to be comfortable and look decent without spending much dough. Plus, my friends would make fun of me mercilessly if I was half as metro as most in this thread. |

Re: *TT* rates OOT\'s fashion sense
TT, as a general question, what do you think of the obviously-not-trying or "outdoorsy" approach to fashion for those who don't have much knowledge or desire to keep up with trends, or who don't feel like doing so keeps with their personality/image? Still wearing nice enough looking stuff and attempting to dress well but going more for comfort/utility/quality than some kind of cutting edge style. Seems like this method at least avoids coming across as a huge poser. I see millions of these wannabe tools walking around each day and think I'd rather wear a tarzan outfit than risk looking like one of them. Thoughts? In your view is that just a cop out?

TT,
I'm 38 married and most of my clothes come from Jos A Banks. I have plenty of nice button down shirts, cashmere (real deal) sweaters, dress and casual slacks, GAP jeans and nice shoes (brown, black, burgandy). I think I have the dad/husband/successful businessman look down. Where can I get something that keeps me looking hip for an old guy? My build is average to athletic.I have this for around town. |

[/ QUOTE ] Both Lucky and Diesel are clients of mine. Diesel makes much better denim for men both in fit and fabric quality, and has a better brand image. Lucky's womans line has a much better cut, so its closer. Either way, you usually can't go wrong. Alternatively you can also give Mavi a shot... I'm not a fan of their brand image, but their new Nomad Tribe denim line kicks ass. As mentioned before Energie & Sixty (same company, you might know of them as Miss Sixty, which is larger in the USA. Energie is the parent company and the bigger brand world wide) are also great options. At the same time I'd never recommend brands such as A&F or American Eagle. Its just a step above the Gap from what I have seen. TT [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] |

For you instead of t-shirts (I love the James Brown one) I think we need to take you up quite a few notches since the words success and dad are part of your moniker. Those who know me well has experienced the 24-hour TT suit-a-thon, thats right... I wear a suit jacket all the time. I think we need to explore a similar look for you, there is a way to dress "corporate" yet very hip at the same time. TT [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] |
