Clothes/Fashion - The Edge Look

Larry David's picture

New forum, new clothing thread.

Clothes, shoes, trainers, coats, white shirts, STYLE.

Let us turn to Lookbook to guide us as to which direction the shapeshifting, multifaceted beast known as 'cool' is heading:




My own personal Autumn look:


Less flashy than the lookbook boys, maybe. It's all subjective really.

(Apologies for the crap border on that pic, it's on their site, it's not my own 'edgy' image-editing.)

Christ g.man.

I wouldn't be seen dead in it.

I shall be wearing a 10 year old, dark blue, Timberland shirt, a 'sports jacket' as our american cousins like to call them, some Levi 501s and some converse trainers out on a date tomorrow night.

At least I'm not a wanker in a combat jacket.. Thank christ.

You've gotta look on the bright side Kow.. it could always be worse.

Bob's picture

I mean look at it.. would it stop a bullet? Could you store any Ak47 ammo? It's not even practical. If you're going to look like a tool at least have something practical.

Yes, Bob, when I'm lugging camera equipment round the stadiums of Britain this winter in the pissing rain and freezing wind, what I really need is a fucking sports jacket.

workwear ffs

Yeah. Let me know when someone shoots at you with a bullet G... then I'll know a combat jacket is what you really needed and not something sensible like maybe a Barbour.

Christ you really do seem to have gone down hill recently.

I'll bet you own several pairs of chinos.

Nope. I wear Levi's. It's all I ever wear. At my age, which I'm guessing is slightly less than yours, I wear what I feel comfortable in and fuck fashion.

Kow's picture

And a Lacoste tshirt.

Nah. I don't have money to burn.

I'm sure it's essential in Spain though.

Why do you spend over the odds on Levi's then? I buy my jeans from Tesco and they are as comfortable and long-lasting as any pair of Levi's I've ever owned and a fraction of the price.

For a mo there I thought our Ken was cosplaying in the first shot.
(Second kid is maybe the only creature alive that should wear that exact ensemble. I hope'd he has an insulating social group of tolerant homosexuals, because he'd need it.)

I like clothing and ordering - not shopping which is for those who crave temptation and don't know what they fucking need afore the hit said shops - clothes. I have never owned a pair of chinos because ugh beige.

I'm still sporting flip-flops...

The black clad wretch... look at his fucking leg in the second picture! He's so trendy he's completely malnourished!

Brooks's picture

The denim'll be compressing the flesh a bit, and he's probably 17 but yeh it's not difficult to suppose some mealskipping comes with hobby.

Just Army and Navy actually. Wish I could say it were somewhere more trendy.

But I'm riding a bike to work in the fucking freezing morning cold so I need some warmth.

APC have got a £450 donkey jacket for sale if you really want it. My Dad's still got his from 1970-something, they look pretty much exactly the same.

EDIT: Found some linkage. Website design ain't their strong point. They've got a war to win FFS.

Fair do's LD. Had the same combat a lifetime ago, but never seen them sold with the proper lining.

Buy only jeans from APC, if that. All else they do is grossly overpriced for the quality.

I am wearing clothes,
I am wearing them on my body.
I am wearing cloth clothes,
Cloth clothes made from cloth.
I am wearing cloth clothes,
Cloth clothes on my body.

That's where I put them on,
I put them on.
That's what I put them on,
I put them on.

Cloth clothes on my body,
Singing the cloth clothes song lalalalalalalalalalalalalalala.

I shall sing that when I get dressed in the morning.

Not lookbook but worth sharing:

The 'evening waistcoat look' claims another victim.

I'm glad that I exist beyond the whims of fashion. The fucking state of that guy in the waistcoat. Those shoes, nae socks, Is he just nipping out to the ice cream van and he couldn't be bothered putting socks on or a pair of shoes that matched? I hope the reason he is waiting in front of that wall is that there is a firing squad just to the right of the photographer. Bawbag.

Tbh if i was going to spend crazy money on clothes i would full on suit up.

Forget high fashion, spend the same money on Savile row, get some suits for life. I love suits to the point that i end up wearing t shirt and jeans because i can't afford what i would call a real suit.

You cant beat the classics and if I'm honest i would throw 501s in there too, with a well fitting shirt.
