Also, ELLOHELL at 500 bucks on shoes. The only time I'm paying 500 for shoes is for a set that protect my feet and ankles in a motorcycle accident. Jesus you people are fucking stupid.

you sure do enjoy making up stories don't you? any words can be twisted

if you don't understand the value of good craftsmanship, i don't know what to tell you. i'm a man of style and sophistication and it shows. just like it shows that you arent.

12 year olds wear sports jackets?

Do you really not get that suits are attractive to wear?

And again, the watch, why is anyone questioning if you should wear a watch or not?

i literally never told anyone to wear a suit in this topic. or are you one of those people that doesn't know the different between a sportcoat/blazer and a suit? i'm gonna double down on your lack of style and sophistication

But why though? I mean I wear an apple watch, but how does wearing a watch make you more adult?

Its just a professional look. Apple watches count because they're stylish and sleek. But I prefer actual watches, they really do make you look more sophisticated. Idk the psychology behind it, I just know its true. Tbh I'm surprised by how much push back that's getting, I thought everyone knew that.

makes you look more sophisticated, like you have places to be at certain times. also shows that you appreciate style and craftsmanship. show me a guy's watch and i can tell you a lot about them. is it an apple watch? a timex? a tudor? a rolex?

Hahahahaha nobody wears watches anymore except for 40 year old men buying a Rolex as part of their midlife crisis.

You're clearly wrong. And your childishness shows that this topic clearly isn't for you, keep wearing your funny T shirts you got at spencers and clashing shorts. Obviously you gave up on coming across as a sophisticated adult long ago.

Actually, the majority of my wardrobe is Hugo Boss/Armani/Burberry.

3. don't wear running shoes! Classic sneakers are fine in casual situations, but most of the time you should be wearing a good pair of dress shoes

I guess I will never dress like an adult lol

I appreciate the craftsmanship in my 500 dollar set of Sidis.

I don't need a 500 dollar set of shoes, and your "advice" is asinine.

lol, that's the type of stuff people who want to appear stylish but actually have no idea about craftsmanship wear. all that stuff is marked up for the designer label but actually poorly produced. this is why i pay $500 for shoes, i actually understand the process that went into making them and don't buy it just for the brand.

craftsmanship is an important part of style and sophistication, it really sets apart the real ones from the imposters

Also I would spend 500 for sneakers. No way am I dropping that much on dress sneakers unless they Gucci or LV lol.

again, paying for the label there. i'd rather have actual quality instead any day of the week

what's wrong with wearing black? It's my favorite colors and looks best on me

meh just wear what you feel comfortable in and try to avoid baggy clothes

$500 for shoes isn't an exorbitant amount. My Burberry sneakers were $550.

Im sorry but if there was 2 shoes, one Gucci and one some other random brand both for 500 and the non-Gucci sneaker was better quality. Im still buying the Gucci.

Oh ok. And I guess your other car is a helicopter and have a phD in whatever subject you happen to be arguing about on CE that day too, plus you're buying the McDonalds version of fashion. Lol but you think its ridiculous to say that a nice watch makes you look sophisticated.... Yeah no one's buying it.

I just dont wear non-sneakers so I cant justify the price. I would either get some cheap 100 buck ones to get by, or go for super high fashion labels that are like a grand each.

Yeah this is one thing I disagree with TC on. A casual night out I like to wear a nice black shirt and some jeans. Or business casual, a white shirt with black slacks. Black is ok imo.
---

I feel like TC is actually giving legitimate ideas, he just used the wrong word.

He should have said mature or professional.

Saying adult makes people feel defensive that youre claiming anything else is childish. For example:

This post is irrelevant to the op. TC is specifically talking about a certain look. He didnt say how to dress well.

i made a whole topic on this that turned into a shit storm...not gonna repeat that here.

why? because you're brainwashed by the media into thinking the gucci is better...when in fact its not. i'm an individual thinker, not a sheeple and i actually understand what i'm paying for. give me full grain leather and a good year welt any day of the week over the corrected grain glued sole guccis.

let me put it this way: it cost $20 to produce gucci shoes and you'd have to buy them for $500. the shoes I buy cost $300 to produce and $500 to buy...which one is actually a better value?

I don't have a car because I live a 10 min walk away from my office. If I need to go anywhere far away, I just take uber. Not everyone on CE is poor.

His "tips" sound like they are coming from a NEET whose understanding of male style comes from 1960s dramas.

His tips are basic fashion 101 and actually common sense. Anyone saying they're wrong doesn't know what they're talking about. Especially people who claim to wear Armani etc.

Thats a kinda rude assumption. I would buy the Gucci because people know it. It is a household name. I want to wear something recognizable. People can tell Gucci/LV from a mile away. That is more important to me than a slight increase in quality. You disagree, but that is how I feel.

and i think it's utterly ridiculous to want to wear something just because it's "recognizable". Give me quality and style any day of the week. you're actually getting poor value from your guccis. it's free commerce so go for it, personally i'd rather actually be smart. and fyi when i go out, i get complimented on my shoes 10x than my friend who wears gucci...

I always buy clothes that are nice and fairly affordable (Lacoste, Adriano Goldschmied, Goorin Bros). I do have a pair of $600 Montblanc sunglasses including prescription lenses, but that's an exception. But when it comes to shoes I only care about comfort. I wear Vans Authentics all day.

One or two little, conspicuous touches just look good.

i actually didn't learn fashion from MFA, but a lot of basics overlap. and gotta start with the basics, i personally do a lot of stuff that definitely wouldn't go over well here: i don't wear socks at all, mostly wear double monk straps, prefer suede to leather and wear a sportcoat with henleys

read what i wrote earlier up about comfortable dress shoes..most people are just used to cheaper poor quality dress shoes. my dress shoes are as comfortable as sneakers...

masterbarf posted...

nice watch, simple brand, classy. not a fan of gold plated steal, so the owner would definitely have to be a little flashier. probably inherited. not the most versatile, but as part of a collection it can work if you like it
---

No_U_L7 posted...

Clever. I inherited the watch and picked out the band afterwards.

Mfw when I was 16 I talked s*** on long hair and band tees but now I'm 25 and have long hair and rock band tees

I literally dress the opposite of what you typed.

I got long hair
I got piercings
I wear skinny ripped jeans
I wear boots/sneakers/casual shoes
I wear brand teees/blank tees/button ups
I wear bandanas/hats

Ive pulled women without uttering a word. Especially because of my curly hair

Long story short. Wear what yall want lol

How old are you TC? clothing should be a reflection of your personality, nobody in the real world will judge you for not wearing an expensive watch or not wearing blazers often enough.

R8 my watch tc

ah, the casio edifice, the poor mans speedmaster lol. good classic watch, at least you have good taste, but since it's more of an entry level watch due to it's cheaper price, entry level brand and being a quartz instead of an automatic, i think you care about style, but probably don't too much care about craftsmanship. strap is a leather nato, which lets me know you're at least saavy enough to swap it out on your own and you have good taste there as well. you probably own more than one watch, wouldn't be surprised if there was a nicer one in the rotation either.

Lol I wish I'm just broke

Kinda wanna get a more expensive watch but im rly picky, altho I rly like the Graf zeppelin moon phase watch

it's better to start small and have a collection you really like. i got 10 watches but went out and sold all but 3 of them. moon phase watches are cool, the moonphase complications really stand out
