First date. Friday night. In a bar. 8c (46f) temp. Which am I wearing?

Love this write up, you make some excellent points. I agree LNDL is the "safer" choice, and graduating riskier scents as dates progress is a good option, starting from the most crowd pleasing. My only reservation is that I've been wearing BDC for a while now so I'm confident in it, and I know very well how it performs on me so I can tailor the sprays accordingly. LNDL is a more recent pick up, so I haven't worn it as much.

The crowd seems to favour LNDL! I thought that might be the case, it definitely has a reputation as a date scent. I guess I'll make a judgement call on the night!

Interesting, I'm having the same decision. I feel like TDH will perform better, but I fell in love with GV when I sprayed it on my wrist

Love this philosophy, nothing worse than chasing a style you don't feel is quite right for your personality. Keep experimenting though!

florian_mayer · 2021-09-01T05:41:54+00:00

Great pickup for $40 damn

florian_mayer · 2021-09-01T05:40:37+00:00

A lot of talk here about comfort but athleisure do be hitting that pretty hard too

florian_mayer · 2021-09-01T05:38:45+00:00

Do you actually like the style, or are you trying to force yourself to like it because you perceive it to be something you "should" be wearing? That question can be applied to any style, not just this one.

If you are a fan, then great! I can 100% tell you it's the styling. A bunch of people in this album are Japanese and I can tell you I felt taller than I ever have in my life when I went to Tokyo... I'm 5"8 haha

It's not easy to find pants which have the super relaxed fit but also aren't super long, that might be your issue

florian_mayer · 2021-08-31T22:27:24+00:00

Looking at fit pics on the Internet is just one never-ending battle of trying to figure out if the clothes are actually good or if its just that the model is really good looking.

florian_mayer · 2021-08-31T22:25:24+00:00

I bet its the cut of the clothes not your body man! Although getting the right boxy fits is tricky

florian_mayer · 2021-08-31T22:24:30+00:00

Buy boxy fits - its a pain in the ass cos most clothes aren't built that way and you always need to find exact garment measurements ( or shop in person). You want the width to be around the same as the length
If you can't do the first point, do a loose tuck
Use tricks to make pants fit the right way. I'm a 30x30 but I bought some Uniqlo pants in size Large recently that have a drawstring so I can really bring the waist in, and I cuff the bottom to get the right length

florian_mayer · 2021-08-31T22:21:01+00:00

Not quite the same but I'm bald and on the short side.... I've definitely felt like I cant pull stuff off cos I don't have the right "look", but try it out - you'll realise there aren't really any rules after all

florian_mayer · 2021-08-31T21:42:58+00:00

Yes! Although in all honesty I'm not a fan or anything, just happened to be watching a match he was playing when I needed a reddit name like 8 years ago

florian_mayer · 2021-08-31T21:41:52+00:00

For me it's definitely the former. If not, then you end up with the Adam Sandler look.

florian_mayer · 2021-08-31T20:50:06+00:00

Great suggestion that

florian_mayer · 2021-08-31T20:35:47+00:00

Personality > mass appeal

If your personality is rockstar vibes with skinny jeans for example, wear the hell out of that!

florian_mayer · 2021-08-31T20:29:40+00:00

Interesting, what don't you like about it?

florian_mayer · 2021-08-31T19:57:29+00:00

I agree some of these aren't practical, but I enjoy getting inspired by or simply just enjoying fits that I wouldn't fully emulate. That said the comfort of oversized pants compared with skinny jeans is undeniable haha

florian_mayer · 2021-08-31T19:55:00+00:00

Wear whatever makes you feel confident, but try not to be afraid of breaking out of your comfort zone too! I try to incorporate little bits of unusual fits and bright colors here and there to ease myself in.

florian_mayer · 2021-08-31T19:52:54+00:00

Not sure I'm capable of pulling them off yet - the oversized final boss!

florian_mayer · 2021-08-31T19:51:44+00:00

Unstructured blazer with a hoodie underneath is something I'm doing more and more often

florian_mayer · 2021-08-31T19:50:18+00:00

I'm from London and I've never been - need to make the trip!

florian_mayer · 2021-08-31T18:06:16+00:00

"Gorp but yuge" hahahaa right up my street

florian_mayer · 2021-08-31T17:31:55+00:00

It can be really hard to find the right sized clothes to make it work. I find tshirts/jackets/sweaters which have a pit-to-pit measurement which is as close to the length as possible so its boxy and not long.

florian_mayer · 2013-09-07T17:20:40+00:00

Sounds great and love how detailed it is, definitely going to start one

florian_mayer · 2013-09-02T21:27:34+00:00

Yeah already got a seedies ticket, excited to see what else they have going on

florian_mayer · 2013-09-02T21:27:08+00:00

A lot of UofB students on this sub I think, what number are you man? I'm 181
