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.

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?



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:



also, are there vast differences in cashmere quality between, say, Sam's Club sweaters and Loro Piana sweaters?

planned for tomorrow:

jeans from american eagle:


sweater from nordstrom:


diesel shoes:


watch (which may get left behind, haven't decided yet):


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.

I figure this watch is a hell of a lot more tasteful than the gaudy, diamond-laden pieces in the watch thread, but, hey, that's just me.

It's hard to go wrong with a Nixon watch. I think it's a rad watch.

I considered buying one before it was released to the general market, its nice. It matches my mid-century modern sensibilities, and my maple wall unit.

link to Wikipedia's page on Mid-Century Modernisim. Trust me, its cool [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Check out the Case Study houses, its been my asthetic inspiration, I collect furnature from this period. For further research explore Charles & Ray Eames, Ero Seranin (spelling?), Florence Knoll, Herman Miller (same company who makes the great chairs), Naguchi, etc.
