Having to explain yourself - Topic of the day 11/12/23
“If you have to ‘explain’ why a fit is good to a non-jawnz enthusiast, is it a bad fit?”

No bc they're not the intended audience
no
fashion as a hobby and fashion as a social utility are two different things. as a hobby it's about fun and an outlet to express yourself (at least to me), and it's hard to ever call anything so personal and subjective "bad" even if it breaks certain rules someone not into fashion would deem to look worse
Explaining why a fit is good is a completely fake situation
Who here has had to do that raise your hand
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand my fits. The layering is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of menswear most of the deliberate rulebreaks will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also my nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into my pant shoe interatction- my personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. My fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these fit, to realize that they're not just fantastic- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike my fits truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in my paint splattered killshots which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as my genius unfolds itself on their discord feeds. What fools... how I pity them. 😂 And yes by the way, I DO have a aime leon dore tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.
No cause theyre probably trying to tell me to stop wearing black and brown together or something
Also i know more than them
Alright who got dunked on for their fit and wrote this spotlight in the shower
Tfw the trader joe’s cashier laughs at you instead of flirting
Just because your dad don’t like playboi carti don’t mean that carti isn’t god
TBH it's even worse when you get complimented and you know your fit isn't even that good.
Not that @artvandelayimporting would know about that because his fits are always 🔥
what about when ur wearing ur wallabies and someone goes I love your heydudes
Or when you're wearing Paraboot Michaels and someone says they're ugly, and you secretly wonder if they are right.
The beauty of Michaels is that they are ugly, just my ugly
(at this point I'm just trolling)
I have to explain all the packages and shoes to my wife but that’s about it.
Does anyone actually find Michaels ugly
They're just moneyed up tyroleans which people see in Wallabees
Michaels are functional shoes, they’re not meant to be pretty, just like a pair of whites or hunters, but they can be pretty if you wear them right
Well, they used to be functional shoes at least
They are basically entirely fashion shoes now
Pretty//ugly is a really shallow spectrum to view fashion through, and the vibe that michaels hit really doesnt fall cleanly in to that spectrum
If it was an x & y axis graph they’d be top left Quadrant for ugly but good looking
Some dogs are super ugly but they’re still cute as hell. Michael’s fall into that for me
Michael’s are the boxers of the shoe world
No explanation needed. I dress for myself.
Absolutely
