Why is men's fashion often associated with traditional clothes?
A lot of the fashion items considered to be legit here would be considered kind of weird or antiquated by 90% of people not into that specific brand or niche. Like wax jackets, goodyear welted boots, etc.. Why do you think so much of men's fashion, or the online conversations about it, revolves around older styles of traditional clothing?
The Role of Tailoring in Achieving 'Effective' Fit
At one point this thread https://discord.com/channels/1116793467654381685/1228819227658424372 in questions and advice strayed a little off-topic and @toasterhacker9001 said (references to specific points from original thread omitted for length):
```I'm a pretty objective/analytical guy, and I have a lean and muscular body that I'm comfortable in. [...] To me, clothes that "fit" have some room to move, but are still pretty close to the body. Not baggy, not sausage casing. I'm mostly interested in clothes that present a cohesive, professional image, since I'm mostly dressing for my slightly-below-business-casual tech job. I don't really do the "expression" type fashion, of wearing baggy clothes, tight clothes, statement pieces, etc. Nothing wrong with that and I can appreciate a good fit, it's just not my hobby

How I Think About Shoes & Picking The Right One
https://alittlebitofrest.com/2024/04/09/how-i-think-about-shoes-picking-the-right-one/
Hi all, I wrote a blog about shoes and what it means to pick the "right" one for an outfit. Usually shoe talk is about upgrading past low quality ones but at a certain point, its more about aesthetics and the desired look you're going for!
Its a long blog post with a lot of photos but hopefully its interesting! ...
Zeo's Spring 2024 Fit Battle Journal (Completed)
In this post https://discord.com/channels/1116793467654381685/1222213477314334741 one of the common motifs expressed was appreciation for people expressing their inspiration or thought process behind their fits or style. Given the time spent preparing for the fit battle I figured it was a good opportunity to actually articulate how I approached this situation/fits in general.
Note this is/was not an attempt to sway votes or intended to curry favor; feel free to give feedback if desired.

Integrating GORPcore
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GeTB8w2FQ_6ogTSPFHpt_d5mH7z63Dwd54HTr_L6qYk/edit?usp=sharing
I’ve been working on this for a bit. It’s a small guide on adding elements of GORPcore to your personal style, taking the approach of swapping items that you’re already working with. I wanted to introduce some defining pieces of the style, give a starting point for expansion, and offer some ideas about integrating GORPcore into an existing wardrobe.

Reflecting on My Dating Attire
https://alittlebitofrest.com/2024/02/19/what-i-wear-on-dates/
Hi guys! I wrote a blog post as a reflection on my dating attire over the years. TL;DR, i was very aware that my style was bold and possibly alienating (or just not ideal for dating apps as a 20 year old), and i edited myself constantly before eventually being confident in my style.
it also goes into what I currently wear on dates with my girlfriend and it works out despite the disparate levels in our formality (because formality doesn't mean anything to us). Its proof it can happen! ...
Was hoping to get some questions answered
Hi everyone, I am a student in university and as a part of one of my classes I was told to conduct interviews with people in fields was interested in. I have been interested in fashion and elevating my outfit choices for a while but have had trouble doing so in the past and thus wanted to combine my curiosity and my assignment into this post. I have taken permission from the mods and they have allowed me to ask you guys my questions. I have written my questions below. Looking forward to reading all of your responses!
1. What is the hardest part about putting together an outfit during your day-to-day routine or in preparation for an event ?
2. Can you describe the last time you had that problem ?
3. What emotions do you usually associate with that problem ?...
Suit jackets should be worn casually
When I look at people wearing jackets, only the ones who wear suit jackets catch my eyes. The other types of jackets (non-wool) just don't look as good. There's nothing interesting about them
I've been reading people's opinions and it's mostly like this "Suit jackets should only be worn with suit pants"
I disagree.. I think suit jackets should be the standart for casual outfits, blazers and sport coats are just nowhere near good compared to them...
