Fit Doctor - Isaac's House Will Not Stand on Bricks
Hey everyone, by semi-popular demand, I'm making a fit doctor thread.
Posting a bunch of outfits I like, think are meh, and did not like, and trying to see how I can swag my wardrobe out as best I can within the parameters of my inspo and the minimal use of spending.
Seen here is the inspo that I'm going to use for today (you might even see yourself here, if so, congrats!)

I thought these fits hit hard in various ways
I thought these fits were decent. Examples of problems like a neat idea but only fair execution, resorting to using too many of my wardrobe staples at once to make a kinda muddled idea, or just something I don’t usually wanna communicate with my wardrobe.
These just sucked booty butt, just using things that don't fit together or don't fit on me nicely or weren't expounded upon enough
Feeling like my main problems are probably photography and kinda fuckin up in terms of proportions when I make fits. I feel like I see some wonk or wrinkles that takes the seamlessness/balance of the fit away completely.
I do feel like I'm doing some things right, picking out pieces that present texture first lately, and not relying on too many wacky patterns smashed together anymore.
Accessorizing and adding flourishes through jewelery and scarves and such feel like an additional way to add more character, still thinking about how to make that happen
With the exception of the funky blazer pic i dont actually think any of the fits from your “these sucked” section are all that bad
I already like your style to be clear but i suppose there are a good number of your fits where i feel like brown leather boots like trickers could be a cool option
Other than the shorts in the "These sucked" section, I liked all of them more than most in the other sections, but thats just my opinion. I think we may have oposite style desires though lmao
Maybe you hasvent noticed this, but its kind of piggy backing off what Weeg said. All of the photos you kind of like the shoes just dont really work. All the photos you really like the shoes really work. Most importantly though, all the photos you hate the shoes dont work at all.
Get yourself some chealseas in just every color. Leather, white, bright pink, black, etc.
I really like your cohesive color palette fwiw
I do like your footwear individually but sometimes the cohesiveness between a cool pair of sneakers and a long coat/vest fit is a bit jarring
Idk you can try pastel derbies maybe?
The two things that jump out at me: I think you've generally nailed the color palette and vibes from your inspo. The set in the "these fits sucked" lack that element I think. The colors are too tonal or just fall flatter.
Something from your inspo that I don't see quite as much in the fits are the patterns. Only one pic from inspo doesn't have a pattern in it and that pink knit has a patterned texture anyway. I also think that's a difference between the collection of hard fits and the mid-tier. The mid-tier has more solid colored items
So what I'm hearing are better shoes and more approaching complementary patterns
Interesting
One thing I've thought about for a little bit, but I have a hard time thinking about boots as more than rustic/workwear like in a way that feels strange with most of the fits I've got going. Is there a certain example of my fits you can point to that would help illustrate that idea a bit more?
fwiw i didn't think the shoes were the problem in any of the fits you disliked
Okay in your first batch, 1 and 6 are the standouts for me. They are playful in a way that feels very you but cohesive and the pieces are all working in the same way, IE everything in 1 says slouchy schoolboy and everything in 6 says swaggy loud uncle. Also good pictures. Like you said, that does make a difference in this context. In the second batch, I think you nailed it by saying “muddled idea.” I think you have a lot of pieces that seem similar at first glance or by description, but actually give pretty different vibes, so even though the color palette in the first one of this patch seems good and works well, the sweater + shirt is saying something different from the jacket which is saying something different from the sneakers. Something that might help you is to sort this out, take pictures or look through your photos and just sort different things like with like or is this more like this or more like that. When you do that, I think you’ll find you have a lot more footwear that says “ice cream streetwear” than “Italian vacation” which feels like what some of your inspo is pointed at
Sorry, not intending to ignore this, just been giving it some thought
The more i think the less i feel like shoes are really the solving factor. Im standing by my thought that in general you are accomplishing what you seem to be going for imo. Your recent cops in particular have been really good and are pushing you more towards your inspo w interesting fabrics and textures
I think that bishops advice is right. There seem to be multiple vibes living in your head, and while none of those vibes need to get kicked out, it can help to identify them individually like hes suggesting just so you can identify the holes in those areas a bit easier
Im too tired to form my thoughts but im gonna sleep on it and see if i can nail down what im thinking a bit better in the morning
