New rule, if you aren’t working on a car or flashing your gang colors, no handkerchiefs hanging out of your back pocket. Especially while wearing top siders. You look like a poser and a tool.
maybe it’s hankie code?
Why would you-
Under a sweater?
Tuck that shit back in.

This is everything that was wrong with the 90’s.
Further proof that you can look like a huge tool in menswear. Lose the shades, “bro”.

Crain's Chicago: The Death of the Tie in Business Dress →
Truly disheartening trend piece from Crain’s Chicago Business about the state of business attire. It seems wearing suits sans necktie is now not so subtly being favored, but outright requested at events:
“Business attire, no ties” reads the invitation for the second annual Chicagoland Entrepreneurial Center Momentum Awards Dinner Wednesday night at Millennium Park.
For the stylish executive, what does “business attire, no tie” mean? “A dark suit, no tie and a white shirt,” said John Jones, partner at George Greene menswear boutique on Oak Street. “Not a patterned shirt, white. It’s of the moment.” Why no ties? “Literally, they want you to be unbuttoned.”
Sadly, I imagine this isn’t just common practice in the Windy City. It’s one thing if people are working in a decidedly casual workplace, but I just find the concept of “business attire, no tie” as particularly distasteful. Why not demand white crew socks with Teva sandals be worn with the chalk-stripe double-breasted?
The article postulates the sorrowful trend comes from the tech sector, with everyone looking to be taken more seriously while dressed down — perhaps throwing an orphaned suit jacket on over a graphic T-shirt and jeans. Lots favor it, but I find it really incoherent to blend tailored clothing with what is essentially streetwear.
I understand the need for people wanting to blend in and dress to the occasion and invitation, however, as Capt. Picard once said, “The line must be drawn HERE!” At some point we need to stand up to ridiculous, made-up dress codes and say, “I will wear something appropriate, but I won’t cater to someone’s idea of fashion without taste.”
It’s the only way to prevent ourselves from becoming complicit in this blasphemy:
“Our black tie is no tie.”
The sartorial legends stir in their graves.
That black tie remark made me want to curl up into a ball and shut out the world.
Oh wait, I just did that.
People need to stop fixing what isn’t broken.

I feel slightly horrible for wanting one of these goggle beanies from CP Company.

Hahahahahahahahahahaha, what?
why?
Here’s a thought: don’t wear these boots with uncovered legsbecause bees might find the meatbags attached to the pretty flowers to be annoying.

Tie and cravat combo? Not too sure if this works.
Nice outfit, you lose a bet?
oh god, why? Even on a fundamental level… a tie is a cravat, so… what kind of idiot wears two ties?
Really feeling the British influence lately. This Bolongaro Trevor design has just enough added character to be unique without the eternal wackiness that sends it over the edge.
I disagree. That’s a ridiculous number of buttons, and the pattern and color scheme is such that buttoned up, it would look awful (it actually looks pretty bad unbuttoned, too) and that many buttons, along with the placement of said buttons, ensures that it will never look good with the edges rolled down like a regular blazer. Actually, come to think of it, it might not even be able to do that in the first place.
Quite possibly the ugliest, most ridiculous shoe design in the world: Crocodile Sperry boat shoes with 18K gold plated eyelets.

WGSN street shot, #PFW.
There’s something to be said to/for a guy who wears Karl Lagerfield-sized collars, a shirt that looks like it came from a mail-in offer from Dole and pants covered in what appears to be dessert, namely “get away from my children” and “stop shopping in the plus-sized girls’ section of Refuse To Be Usual on ebay”
