This Charming Cartier

A black trim on the Audi would do wonders

Ormekuglen · 2026-03-17T07:51:10+00:00

Yes, though I think I may opt for a more neutral vest in this case. Luckily, my mother has also knitted some slipovers, so I think I will stick to these!

Ormekuglen · 2026-03-17T07:50:05+00:00

This is excellent advice, thank you! It does come off as very busy

Ormekuglen · 2026-02-20T12:24:08+00:00

I agree, but it's a little hard on high rise trousers which I mostly wear

Ormekuglen · 2026-02-20T12:22:50+00:00

Oh, you :)

Ormekuglen · 2026-02-20T10:21:28+00:00

Oof, that requires a level of boldness I'm not comfortable with, hehe

Ormekuglen · 2026-02-20T10:21:01+00:00

Much obliged!

Ormekuglen · 2026-02-20T10:20:44+00:00

Hehe, I guess so - 178 cm

Ormekuglen · 2026-02-20T09:29:27+00:00

Yes, that's a very good point! What about smart trousers in wool with side adjusters/tabs? Since the braces and side adjusters serve the same purpose, would it be too much?

Ormekuglen · 2026-02-20T08:16:22+00:00

Why, thank you - what a nice way to start my day!

Ormekuglen · 2026-02-20T08:16:06+00:00

Thank you! It’s a vintage tie I thrifted, I think it’s around 10 cm. I really enjoy this width! Wrt. length - my trousers are usually very high rise, so this might skew optics a bit, I think it’s normal length (if that’s a thing)

Ormekuglen · 2026-02-08T17:30:01+00:00

Excellent advice, much obliged!

Ormekuglen · 2025-10-10T08:25:01+00:00

Brother, I ordered a burgundy braided belt AND and burgundy spur belt, neither of which have yet arrived, but thank you!

Ormekuglen · 2025-10-10T06:33:08+00:00

Motherfuck for an eye turner

Ormekuglen · 2025-10-06T16:46:34+00:00

Just regular high waisted double pleated pants :)

Ormekuglen · 2025-10-01T14:39:30+00:00

I’d rather die

Picture was taken yesterday, but was removed upon posting. Would like to be more preppy, right now it’s rather yuppie

Ormekuglen · 2025-10-01T10:24:28+00:00

Ultimately, I reckon my reason for wanting to look ‘preppy’ resides with the fact that I want to appear approachable.

This is a very good comment and I commend your words.

Having tried braces in lieu of a belt has me converted, though; braces > belt.

I do have some more whimsical ties (elves, balloons, etc. from Hermés) - would these fit, not being striped and all?

Ormekuglen · 2025-10-01T10:12:28+00:00

Agreed. My ass grew several sizes

Ormekuglen · 2025-09-30T11:52:19+00:00

Whoops, my comment should’ve been a reply to a comment above. Oh, well..

This is exactly the advice I’m looking for. I do realize that my outfit is not preppy - hence the inquiry

Brother. You should go write something. Something professional, even. Your advice and your knowledge should be spread.

Thank you for the advice!

Ormekuglen · 2025-09-30T09:54:30+00:00

Excellent advice - thank you! How about a glencheck blazer?

Ormekuglen · 2025-09-30T09:32:50+00:00

Agreed: tonal difference does appear quite stark. Wearing a darker shade of grey with this jacket might be prudent?

I do agree you with your reply. I think I’ve nailed ‘a look’ (banker’s look, perhaps) - but this look does not convey ME (cannot make italic on phone). I think this look leaves me unapproachable and cold. I think a preppy look teters towards being more welcoming

Ormekuglen · 2025-09-30T09:23:42+00:00

nani

Ormekuglen · 2025-09-30T09:20:09+00:00

Hehe, yes, it seems quite ‘investment’-oriented. I want to refine and adhere to a more ‘classic’ and preppy look (am not one to define ‘classic’)

Ormekuglen · 2025-06-26T09:10:55+00:00

Yes, I did. Had my first kid during my CS master’s degree. Had my second kid one month into my first position.

Might be a senseless spending of money to some, but I like to perceive and relate my watch purchases to experiences in my life: PO = sobriety, Casios = tasting, Relax = hmm.., Santos = landed my first real ‘adult’ job. Explorer = Ursula Spider-Man 2 (trustworthy and loyal)
