Smart Casual - Topic of the day 11/2/24
all the smart casual outfits I see seem like they're trying to dress for "the office", but not like their dad or granddad

Fashion Hiatus - Topic of the day 12/27/23
So I used to be orphaned suit jacket/hipster RETVRN guy/overall super annoying "wEaR mOrE sUiTs" loser guy, in the process of improving my character and attitude I left fashion behind because the only way I knew how to interact with it was in a loser way. But this year i've discovered a lot of thrift joints, and I've made friends that care about how they look in an inclusive, fun way, and I've really been enjoying the process of building up my wardrobe!

Button-downs, scarves and ties are always easy to come by in my experience. If you're into old money, chinos (these will almost certainly have to be tailored) are plentiful, as are polos and quarter-zips. As far as putting together outfits goes, I try to pick clothes that go together thematically. So, a khaki jacket with lace up boots and raw denim, or a sweater vest with a solid color button-down shirt and corduroy pants, or chinos and a prep cardigan.
On unique items...well, it's always going to be a challenge to go to the thrift store with one specific idea in mind. I'm a sport-coat-aholic, so I'm always ready to snap one up (if the shoulders fit well I buy, tailor can fix the rest). My thrifting motto is "always have money ready to spend and always be ready to leave without spending anything". sometimes I strike gold and sometimes I strike out.

Hi! I'm new here, but I'm a veteran thrifter! In my opinion, a trustworthy tailor is indispensable when thrifting, it makes it possible to get that jacket with sleeves a bit too long, or a pair of pants that need the crotch brought up, etc. etc.
What kinds of styles/reference points are you interested in?
