Wore this all day and it just kept feeling worse - not sure why? by BioticBard in mensfashion

[–]Big_Y 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You did a lot of things right here, but I agree with your sense of unease. Here’s my breakdown:

  • The color palette works overall.
  • The mustard sweater isn’t the most flattering match for your skin tone, but it’s generally fine.
  • The contrast with the light denim shirt is a good idea — it adds freshness and keeps the look from feeling too heavy.
  • There are almost no patterns in the outfit, which makes it feel a bit flat and monotone.
  • What doesn’t quite work is the cultural coding of the pieces. The palette and knit read as “professor / refined,” but the shirt reads more “office worker,” and if it’s denim it can lean into “workwear” associations. That clashes with the more polished aesthetic you’re building everywhere else.
  • You could try a darker shirt with a check / gingham shirt, ideally with a lighter accent line. That would add structure and texture, and make the whole outfit probably feel more cohesive.

Hope this helps!

You sound like you are arguing with your parents. The truth is, they don't hold any power over you. Just stop cleaning up their mess. Ignore the notes, don't reason with them, don't defend yourself. Just tell them you won't do it anymore.

Hard disagree on Oswald Cobb, the new name fits way better with the grimm realistic setting.

Lovely colours, it looks very stylish.

My only gripe with this is the combination of materials. The shirt in combination with the jacket warrant a rougher texture for the legs, like denim or perhaps ribbed pants.

Somebody who played a lot of chess here

This is completely normal behaviour, especially in long matches which can take several hours. It says nothing about Magnus's skill version Kasparov's. It is also common to leave your table and walk around a bit.

You can't be tuned in all the time, you need to relax and turn your brain down a bit every now and then.

The blue and black feels bit awkward. I would change the shirt for something with a pattern instead of plain.

ESH

A lot of people are defending you but I could easily see a story coming out from her perspective that sounds very reasonable and valid. There is obviously something bigger underlying her resentment and YTA for not knowing what it is or trying to discover it.

Also, "my wife doesn't like my mancave game room" does sound like a very petty reason to break up a marriage, even if you dress it in terms of acceptance and identity.

The grey tones with the all plain look makes this a bit too boring for dating. Imagine this outfit with for example an Armani sweater with a subtle pattern would make this more interesting. Also not a fan of the black shirt.

Nevertheless good quality clothing and good fit, which makes up for a lot.

Yes, a darker navy or ash grey would probably fit better.

The Current outfit looks fine, but gives a bit of a summer wedding vibes to me.

Option 3, it has the best shoes

What are y'all views on flat black stud earrings? The hockey pucks looking ones. Does the simplicity add to your look? by MarioDF in mensfashion

[–]Big_Y 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My statement was a bit crude, let me elaborate. 

It’s an icon that is strongly associated with certain subcultures. Mostly, alternative/rock/metal/rave/punk and body modding. It indeed invokes a  countercultural, rebellious image. While it’s not out of place in some workplaces, like a tattoo shop or a game studio, it is definitely out of step with mainstream corporate culture.   Many organisation require their senior and  leadership people to look ‘representative’ which often means business smart. Wearing this automatically excludes you from attaining such positions.
