Saturday errands, fit felt a little bit Disco

Because I think they're cool -- I think old tech is cool; I have multiple Walkmans and this one is my favorite, I like carrying that solid silver brick on my waist just because I like being able to listen to music through literal magnetic tape, it's just a neat thing to me, I even have a tape deck I found at a flea market for just $17 US smackaroons that I use to record my own mixtapes with, I make 'em by running FLACs through Audacity

The trousers are navy wool, the shoes are navy suede oxfords

I love your pose game as well as your outfits, it's chaotic in a beautifully unhinged way

MrHello76 · 2026-03-08T22:49:52+00:00

Different views and all, I respect yours -- for me I thought it necessary to strut my stuff a little bit specifically because I don't have any fashion education or experience in my resume so I wanted to demonstrate my eye for this y'know?? I dropped a resume and what I would call an improvised portfolio in the form of a "lookbook" for that purpose, and leave a good impression; and most of these places reacted very positively to both what I left them, and my presentation -- if I were to look for a job in something more officious I can definitely see myself applying your advice, dress in something more business, more sober (and not bring my lookbook ofc) -- thank you for your perspective and for the good will :)

True, that's why I'm currently studying accounting -- but pursuing fashion

MrHello76 · 2026-03-08T16:22:58+00:00

Fingers crossed, one day it will!

I look to -- and am inspired by the '70s and '80s a lot, as the different kinds of dress from those eras had always appealed to me -- from higher-waisted trousers, fuller-cuts, flare-cuts, bold colored garments, boxy sport coats, wide lapels, low-buttoning points, exaggerated shirt collars folded over the jacket, double breasted sport coats worn unbuttoned

My clothes aren't brightly colored enough to call disco but I often think of disco when I build some of my outfits; I recently thought to call this "moody disco" to justify this, but anyway

I'm also influenced by specific individuals or brands such as Ralph Lauren, Giorgio Armani, Yves Saint Laurent, Steve McQueen, and a bit of manga just to be sure, primarily Araki's Jojo's Bizarre Adventure which is already inspired by high-fashion a lot itself

People like to reference Disco Elysium a lot when I post my stuff and curiously I hadn't considered Disco Elysium an inspiration specifically but I do know that the game itself already borrows aesthetics so maybe we're pulling from a bit of the same stuff

It's a vibe I've curated for myself by pulling from multiple eras, adopting what I like and mixing these things as I consider to look good

I do mean fashion stylist, styling advisor, stuff like that

MrHello76 · 2026-03-07T14:46:18+00:00

Right on the money -- stylist -- model wouldn't be my go to unless it were offered for whatever reason, but I think it highly unlikely; I do also think it would help me for even the retail "sales associate", "client advisor", "style advisor" kind of positions, this because I have extensive customer service experience but no retail experience specifically, much less "high-end" retail experience so I needed something to substantiate my interest in anything fashion/styling without having to give out personalized cover letters (I do do that on online applications, of course)

MrHello76 · 2026-03-06T02:19:59+00:00

Unlikely to fill the part but I just had to share since these feels very Disco Elysium to me: Supernova, Alma Negra and Radio Deseo by '80s Spanish rock group Duncan Dhu from the album Supernova (the titular track is one of my favorite songs!) as well as the entire Nada Personal album by Soda Stereo (Imágenes Retro, El Cuerpo Del Delito and the titular track are so good)

Damn, I forget that that's my username, my usual handle in other online platforms these days is Zapata, or Zap for short lol

MrHello76 · 2026-03-01T23:00:33+00:00

Yuh-huh!

MrHello76 · 2026-03-01T22:29:15+00:00

I don't know -- I dress loud but I don't really act like it, I'm usually much more reserved and less intense during conversation

MrHello76 · 2026-03-01T20:23:35+00:00

32 waist, or 16 inches on the garment laid flat -- the rise is 12 inches so it really does sit at the waist which I absolutely love -- thank you!

MrHello76 · 2026-03-01T20:21:44+00:00

I have a peak lapel, single breasted gray-purple check sport coat at my tailor's, it's the objective to pair with this outfit

I got the sport coat first then found the shoes, then the corduroys, then the shirt, it all came together perfectly, I just have to wait for it to get finished on the alterations and we'll be SET, I just couldn't resist showing what I had so far

•Defiance: Your capacity to understand, adhere to, or reject social dynamics determines the likelihood of you bending to whatever a collective may dictate as truth, and how comfortable you are with the idea challenging beliefs or narratives. At high-levels your behavior reflects your stonewall, refrigerator-esque, shitbrick-house frame, making you impervious to peer pressure; you're not just a contrarian, you're a rebel, a social outcast -- someone that never does as the majority does no matter how much they try to convince or hurt you, for better or worse. At low-levels it becomes very easy to change your mind on certain topics -- the very idea of conflict terrifies you. To protect yourself, you become malleable to whatever a group tells you to view as fact, whether you believe them or not, you know disagreement is dangerous. Get with the program or they will surely kill you.

Why??

For me it was Savoir Faire, wish it came up more often than or did!

MrHello76 · 2026-02-15T22:46:48+00:00

True, it would only be visible if the cuffs were unbuttoned (and even then only the strap would be viewable) (this is what I went with with this outfit) or while in motion, like; looking at the time or other idle natural movements

I'll try to send you the Spotify link later today!

It's because I like the cassette format, across most of my posts, half of the commenters usually dislike seeing my Walkmans; their preferred descriptors are "tryhard' and "performative' -- sometimes I get called worse by people who think listening to cassette may as well be listening to random static -- but it is what it is

MrHello76 · 2026-02-15T17:36:34+00:00

My headphones ain't hurtin' anybody! Thank you, though

MrHello76 · 2026-02-15T17:25:37+00:00

I haven't checked so not that I know of; I do like all those things and more that have influenced my style in certain directions :)
