Getting a watch for my 18th Birthday
Getting a watch for my 18th birthday (in about a week and a half) - my budget for a watch is £300 and ideally want to go with seiko. I've started dressing more smart-casually, favouring more smart.
Any recommendations? Dress watches are preferable as I don't think it's a good idea to pair a sports watch with a suit...
Thoughts on sweaters/outfits like this?
Throughout my childhood, up until now, I never really developed a sense of fashion. I have a hard time gauging how other people will feel about certain outfits, especially if they're my outfits. I'm trying to go for a more androgynous/queer style, but nothing crazy since I'm frankly not skilled enough for high fashion.
One thing I'm trying to understand is sweaters. Do people perceive the sweater in this image as more masculine, or more feminine? Is it considered masculine when wearing sweaters with jeans, but not other things? I would love to know your first thoughts/impressions when you see an outfit like this, and why...
Fashion illustrations
Hey folks, anyone wanna shout out their favorite fashion illustration artists? I really dig the old school ivy style Kazuo Hozumi drawings and all of Mr. Slowboy's stuff. I especially like the illustrations he did for Uniqlo here (https://www.uniqlo.com/us/en/contents/lifewear-magazine/the-modern-layering-guide/).

Thoughts on this being an overall -core to consider? Is it something you've been actively implementing into your wardrobe? Do you see it as an emerging trend or something that's already at peak presentation in the mainstream? Any other thoughts?...
