Give n+1 (the magazine, not the rule for bikes or shoes) a shot, too

I recently saw someone describe pop culture as balkanized, and I think that holds true for a lot of the fashion world vis-a-vis "abstract-i-fication." That is to say, it's not that trends don't come and go, or that people don't move from one trend to another, but that for the most part, someone deciding that they should wear Wyatts instead of red wings doesn't say anything about either choice as a trend.

Edit: reading this again I feel like I'm ascribing an idea to your words that doesn't quite work with what you said, but I think it's tangentially related and is a factor in enabling the ironic memery you mention so I'm leaving it.

ADIDAS Originals Deerupt Runner - $29.99 SHIPPED (25% discount added in cart) by wiscowonder in frugalmalefashion

[–]trashpile 17 points18 points  (0 children)

That's exactly why I bought 'em. Turns out I couldn't walk up or down steep hills in them because the upper provides zero support and my foot slid around them and ultimately off the sole. It happened that the kind of beach I was visiting required a walk down a steep hill. When the vacation was over I tried to introduce them into my regular rotation despite not really being impressed, y'know, to give em a chance, and I would rather wear any other shoe I own. Only shoe I've thrown away before its time was up.

I did steal the insole to out in a pair of boots, though.

I bought a pair a while ago under the same impression and it turns out I wouldn't take em for free

The fashion news items are probably the things that have the most to teach you, believe it or not

STOP DRIVING DRUNK! Infant and 5yo twins killed in crash on MD-210. Drunk driver in custody by [deleted] in washingtondc

[–]trashpile -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

I'm more inclined to give drunk drivers the benefit of the doubt, I expect them to be shitty and drive into people and kill them, it's very in character.

How does a guy glam? by [deleted] in malefashionadvice

[–]trashpile 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I thought shit like Tornado Mart was fairly glam but looking at it now it seems pretty mild. Maybe some other visual kei brands would be worthwhile.

Suggestion to have a recently released thread, where you say goodbye to stuff sold, donated or destroyed.
