i have ideas but if i may ask what do you think about the fit? what do you like, what do you dislike? and were you going for a specific vibe?
I’d add to zeometers question, what do you want to say with this fit. What is the vibe you’re going for
Well, I like my jean jacket a lot. I wear it pretty much everyday. It's a piece that's very customized so I like that part. I also think it ties into my ac/dc which is a band I really like
I wear those jeans all the time because... I guess they're my current favorite pair of pants (I need to buy more jeans :')) and I like to wear jeans. I like the rugged/rustic feeling of wearing them and they feel versatile
Those shoes are also shoes I've been wearing everyday cause I think they kinda give off that rocker/punk vibe that kinda ties in my shirt and pants, and also they're one of my only pairs that aren't like super beat up and are easier on my feet for long periods of time
Also I like to wear hats 🙂 because I'm lazy and rush in the mornings
Also hats are just cool, I wear trucker hats, baseball caps, beanies a lot
No beanies now because it's summer and I'd die lol. But in the winter and fall I wear them more often
Oh right and my watch. I like (digital) watches bc they look cool but they're also more of a practical thing for me because I'm in situations where I can't look at my phone to get the time + I have general time management issues LOL. So it helps to be able to get the time faster and efficiently
I think that's everything ya. o7
So I'd say the general vibe is just like casual punk stuff yknow. giving that youth vibe like if someone saw me I'd want them to think "oh that person's into rock/rock subcultures but casual about it rn"
i think the elements of rock and punk come across well 🙂
the jacket is cool and i think in general the pieces go together well, even the shoes
imo the biggest area of opportunity would be getting a different pair of jeans - perhaps a lighter wash, less tapered, maybe even distressed or raw hemmed - to give it a more "lived in" effect
if this is meant to be a work fit where you can't wear clothes falling apart, then maybe black jeans (again, less tapered) instead. the taper thing is personal preference of course, but it's common to see a wider leg in pants these days, as a reboot of things like 90s skate culture.
:0 yeah I've been wanting to get some a lighter pair of jeans
Yeah LOL it's a work fit. But yeah I get what you mean, baggy jeans and stuff are indeed a part of skater culture which is apart of the vibe too a little. I have black jeans so I will try and re-do the fit at a later time and post it with the black jeans
admittedly it's easier to field this look in fall or winter when it's cooler out; rotating the pants/tee out would be an easy way to change up the fit
True, it's harder in the summer (hence the rolled up jacket sleeves lol) but I still try and make it work
might be able to switch out the jacket for an overshirt or button down; put some of the buttons on and you're good
How about like a shirt jacket?
I have a green canvas one 🤔
shirt jacket would be cool
I think if you want to take it up another level with the punk style you could try adding more “stuff” (for lack of a better word).
Just using this pic as an example, it’s got a bunch of decorative features: zips, chains, dangly bits, etc
I'm trying to think of other people that dress kind of punk-y around here
oddly Damb is coming to mind again (I feel like he just fits so many styles)
I think a wider/baggier leg with good flow is something that would really help
Ohh this is true, I've wanted a chain loop thing for a while
It'd be cool to wear esp because it's like a one and done thing but still pretty efficient at sending that message
The person In the photo also is wearing their keys on their belt loops, which is also something I tend to do more often now :]
This is a pretty cool outfit, imo to me it's leaning more into the workwear vibe
but the darker colors feel punk
So I still see that
Also I wanted to ask (I might make this into a separate post later not sure) but is there a specific reason why like skinnier jeans weren't mentioned? I know they wouldn't fit me LOL but I guess I'm a bit surprised they weren't mentioned bc skinny jeans are sort of associated with like I wanna say the 2000s and 2010s punk/emo rock scene
Like in this photo
They're not super skinny here but they're not very baggy either
Well I wouldn't call them skinny at all really but yknow. It hugs the leg more n all
🤔
those look like a regular slim fit to me, besides the cinches at the bottom
ur deffo right about the skinny jeans association. I think they weren't recommended because that cut is off trend, so unless you're specifically trying to recreate that era of punk you can update the silhouette
True, I mostly just go with whatever I think looks cool and fits my vibe + the vibe Im going for
I say this cause I don't know if I really follow the trend of pants like that (or I am and I just don't know it LOL)
I like the vibes of workwear and americana and thats also part of the reason why I like dressing in a general rock/punk/grunge etc way because those things are inherently connected, which is very cool :]
to add onto this too, I think we keep recommending it because we think it'll look better and your outfit will look more balanced
skinny jeans are really hard to pull off because they can quickly lead to your outfit being really top heavy
Ohh I understand. that makes sense, cause like leather jackets and jean jackets and vests etc can be way less close to the body then skinny jeans
^this was meant to send to ur previous statment lol
by doing this, you can balance out the silhouette a bit more, but that shouldn't stop you from bringing in that same style
jean jacket/personalized pieces
band shirts
jeans
casual canvas shoes
Oh wait what was the text u had sent before with the pictures
oh, sorry
I didnt get a chance to read it 😢
compare the two silhouettes
the balance of your outfit is really important to the overall look
skinny jeans very quickly make outfits feel really top heavy
but by bringing out some wider pants, you can balance it out without sacrificing the same style
oo okay I understand better now
Balance... :catnod:
(you can use your arrow keys to switch between the two outfits)
((if you are on a computer))
btw I love that emoji
the cat nod
THANK YOU
I have a large version of it hold on
oh fuck
its faster too
jump scare
he be noddin
he do...
Thank u for the visual reference btw its very helpful
ofc!
and thats I think why people were recommending to stay away from tapered legs
and often skinny legs
in the stan ray thread
even outside of the sort of 'baggy pants trend' discussion
I think you'd kill in some super baggy pants, but even in that silhouette with straight pants its looking great
Thank you 🥲 I will try and get more baggier pants. I guess part of the reason why I've been leaning into the tapered look as well is because I'm worried about how wider pants will fair while working/doing more outdoorsy activities etc
and take into account who is giving you the advice. i wear some really fuckin baggy pants
🌊
imo, baggy pants are even better for outdoor activities
and for working
depends on what activities/working you do
but in general, the bagger the pant, the better mobility you have
This is true 🤔
like sportsmen stuff (or at least I'm trying to lol) so like fishing, hikes, hunting etc
wait I have a fit from me fishing recently, I'll post it in here
(the gloves are not apart of the fit, the bait was shellfish and I'm allergic so it was just me being careful)
so yeah this is like an example of what I'm doing/trying to do + the vibe
yeah, I think that is super conducive to some wider pants
in general work pants that dont have stretch in them tend to be wider cut anyways (and potentially gusseted) because otherwise you'd waddle like a penguin in them
very factual 🤔
there is a ton of americana up in #waywt if you need inspo
we talked about it in a diff thread but I'm trying to plan a trip to left field for like a pair or two of new jeans
so if u see any in passing that you think are a wider fit and would suit me lemme know 😎
okie o7
a few favorites are Digs, Casey, Elvander, Damb, and Holfram *amongst many many others
definitely, i'll keep an eye out
off the top of my head for somewhat standard wide pants I'd recommend carhartt/carhartt wip or levis 501s
I will check those out. Ive been wanting to get some pants from carhartt for a while tbh
o7
cheers and good luck 🙂
Thank u :]
