thanks for the backing RFX and scars, i knew you didn't try and come at my neck but yea, trolls like Baboon will have their fun. It's all good though. In an attempt to go in accordance with the sneaker contest we are currently running, i plan on changing it up tomorrow. i guess you guys just caught me on an odd run of fits for the past few days.
i actually noticed earlier that it was the same type of deal and planned on throwing a curveball at you guys

I dont think A Baboon Cow's comment was meant to troll. I see where he is coming from. Other people have noticed you only tend to post when you're wearing a blazer/tie etc. Maybe they just want to see some variety like steezy/wisith

I can't see how on earth that's a problem. This forum is meant to give you a window into a posters style. That window might or might not show all variations of their style. Case in point, I have suits, and I'm going to be stepping up my suit game heavily over the next 6 months, but I doubt I'll post them here. I generally only like to post my Saturday and Sunday attire. If someone like Niidawg mainly posts his work attire, I don't see the problem either. There are plenty of different styles and personalities who post here to get a wide array of different style cues without everyone posting every variation of their own style.

Buy any sweatpants and have them altered, the tailor might give you a weird look but it's the easiest and cheapest way to be honest.

IATT · Nov 6, 2012

anyone here wear vineyard vines shirts?

how do the slim fit shirts fit?

rfx45 · Nov 6, 2012

I don't think that pinoy732 was getting mad and you ropinion that it looks like "grandpa" or "old man" look is not true. Plenty of young people wear cardgians with a newsboy hat and tweed jacket altogether, just because older people wear it doesn't mean it is just for old people.

He also explained where he went with the fit, a visit to grandma and a frat function. I really do not see it out of context or simply trying hard or looking old. Just classic pieces put together well.

NTers always see that kind of clothes as too "dressed up" because most here are used to bball shorts with a tank top or sweatpants + hoody and Jays. Heck in the old thread I had to argue that having slim clothes is only uncomfortable because everyone is used to wearing clothes 3x bigger than their size and now more prefer 511 or 521 or 514s instead of the baggy Phat Farms and Sean John jeans.

And from all his posts, he has been wearing glasses, I think he actually uses/needs it and aren't lenseless like Wade or Westbrook when they wear one, it isn't for fashion but for function in his case.

See Niidawg's job(not sure but dudes always in some office) seems to call for dressing that way. Niidawg has also posted casual day fits on here as well.

My only point with Pinoy was that it seemed forced or almost like a costume. The fit is nice, however, I don't think that I PERSONALLY would dress that way for the occasions he described. Kind of like the folks in Soho/Brooklyn you see EXTREMELY overdressed with a briefcase and suit and tie and all there doing is going to work at old navy.

Why is Pinoy getting irate at someone's opinion on a thread on a forum?

we are here to have discussions, give our points of view. sometimes it might be flattery and sometimes it might be criticism.

Pinoy you are pretty young guy.....I just don't understand why you are 25 and dressing like a 52 year old?

you have the same exact fit as my college professors and as my grandfather during the holidays....

i would like to see you dress more youthful...whats with the paper boy hat, lenseless prescription glasses, bow ties and flat front khakis?

i don't get the cardigan, with the paper boy hat, brown allen edmonds and flat front chinos from jcrew clearance rack....

Is dressing better specifically for people trying to get their grand pa on?

again this is not hate.....its constructive criticism....and if someone's opinion upsets you...then don't post your pics on the internet...

plenty of people have posted atrocious fits on this thread...with their potato sack suits from menswarehouse clearance section...the 2 for 100 dollar suits...they get criticized and keep it moving.

Really? Are posters in this thread meant to conform to other people's ideas of what they would like to see them in?
Ayi yi yi.... :smh:

People should post, what they feel is appropriate in terms of this thread, even if it's only 1 style.

I'm pretty sure that Niidawg's position does not require a 3-piece suit, trench and accessories, or various combinations that he wears. It might require a suit. However, that's his personal style, and it works well. People are getting way too caught up in the whole "trying too hard" ideology.

What difference does it make if you "personally" wouldn't dress that way. That's YOUR life, Pinoy is living HIS life. Dude is not a model getting paid to advertise styles for you. Be happy with what people are posting.

listen here, who are you to decide what he should wear to watever ocassion??...you are acting as if hes throwing on a 3 piece suit to go grocery shopping, hes wearing a shirt, a cardigan, a hat that goes with the fit, perhaps id lose the tie, but thats personal preference, that same fit could turn into something very casual in a matter of seconds anyways....yeah we can take C&C but that is not what you guys are doing, you guys are not judging the aesthetics of his fit, rather the reason whyyyyy he is wearing it, which is a matter of personal preference and not Constructive Criticisms as you want to call it.

I personally appreciate anyone on here that has the balls to post up their fits, which is a small percentage of posters, i rather look at the way clothes fit on an actual person than a stock photo taken from a site of an item you like.....we all have different styles and like different things, not to mention different body types....i dont recall Adrian posting fits back to back everyday to back up the theory that he only dresses up in tucked in shirts, trousers and ties....I can say he does not as i follow him on IG and i seen plenty of his post where he simply has on a tee and jeans, but maybe he only posts on here those fits he sees fit the thread.....i sometimes post more casual fits on here with a pair of flyknits, but i donot post every single fit i wear on here.....this is not a WDYWT.

Forget it, all this side talk negates from the thread. I have my opinion and its ALWAYS stated in a respectful manner.

the biggest critics that come through this thread 90% of the time are the same dudes we NEVER see a fit of, ironically enough.

For what purpose, to make a negative comment against them b/c they choose to browse and critique instead? How is it any different? I think his fits look gimmicky, end of convo. Not sure why one would need to validate an opinion with a picture to show that they're able to dress similar or "better" than him. Discussion threads do involve positive and negative comments also.

It's like any type of negative criticism against frequent posters is forbidden here. Granted there's trolls for lulz but everyone should just roll with the punches. Maybe I'm jaded from the industry but its not that serious.

you dont need to post a pic to get validtion, you can very well come in here out the blue and correctly add some C&C to anything we post, calling a fit "gimmicky" is NOT constructive at all, its just your opinion and where your personal bar is set as far as whats casual and whats formal.....that fit by many other personal standards is just fine, now if his tiebar was misplaced, sleeves too short/too long, ill fitting pants, etc....thats C&C....dont make this thread out to be a clique, thats not what it is, a few pages ago Serg posted a fit that wasnt flattering at all, i gave him C&C i told him to stay away from stripes as thats a common rule for heavier set individuals, had anyone made that type of C&C im sure Serg would have taken it in good stride, instead one of the usual trolls attacked his weight... :rolleyes

ksteezy · Nov 6, 2012

you dudes have no clue what constructive criticism is do ya?....

there is criticism and then there is CONSTRUCTIVE criticism!

giving someone advice on how they can improve what they have on is being CONSTRUCTIVE, telling someone they are overdressed is criticism!...there is a difference, go back to school.

^That's my point. Not everyone is a troll or hater or is upset/mad.

dude's on here are so close-minded and definitely not open to criticism. you are not built for real life.

especially the male groupies that come to his defense..."don't listen to him, i like your style, you dress so nice to me thats all that matters. you're handsome"

why type of beta male is that?

Everything that is constructive criticism is viewed as negative...

"OMG...It's just a troll...block him...put him on your ignore list."

Stop it. grow up and act like an adult.

this is a forum, to view, discussion and share your opinions.

not everyone is going to like your fit. For whatever reason. Grow a set of testicles, take it, keep it moving.

If you cannot handle a little bit of criticism on here, imagine in the real world.

its like you want us to be sheep and followers....

"Omg, you dress so nice, you are best dressed male...you belong on gq cover. So handsome too"

No.

Agreed. I mean a dude in here got upset because I said I liked hybird peacoats over regular peacoats. Nobody is flaming or insulting anyone in here, its just basic opinions on fits/tips on here. This is actually one of the most mature threads, but it seems like anytime somebody has an opposing opinion to the majority he is deemed as a troll or trolling.

You post here for expression, it just so happens its a public forum for people to express themselves as well. If its done in a respectful manner, I don't see whats wrong.

If you don't like people posting their opinions, then don't post anything.

I agree I didn't see dudes outfit but some of the poster in here do look like they trying to hard to look like clones out of a magazine. I don't get why some people have to act like a stereotypical girl when you criticize them. Why are yall trying to tear me down? Not at all just everybody isn't going to feel your style and/or how that style looks on you. I think the real reason some people say others are trying to hard it looks like they are uncomfortable and wouldn't do certain things if they weren't the stylish things to do. I hope that makes sense.

Regarding the bold to some people they are too "dressed up" and who cares if you cool with it don't know why you feel feel need to fire back unless you feel some type of way about the comments. I wouldn't dare wear no small sweatpants but on smaller guys like yourself I guess you want to show off your body more (I don't know) but it works for you. If people don't like it bump but I don't understand when yall willingly put pics everybody not going to like, agree, dap your style it is what it is.

indeed.

rfx45 · Nov 6, 2012

I honestly do not mind the criticisms and all my responses have been civil so far.

But really when someone already explained why he dressed that way and people already stated that it is likely just "overdressed" or "costumey" to you because you aren't used to it, then people has to accept that but no, they pound and pound on the same criticism and complaint as if the response wasn't read. And it becomes a circle jerk of arguing in the end. I mean really, if he said he dressed up that way because wanted to and he often does it, that should be enough of an explanation that he dresses that way because he likes it. But he even said he visited his grandma and went to a frat function, which obviously could use some dressing up.

I don't really have to defend Pinoy732, I just simply tried to explain why his fit works and why it doesn't look "costumey" at all. To some, this is the norm. Just because you went to a college where people wore sweats to classes all the time, doesn't mean it is weird when someone does. And even if he did go to a college that are like that, there is nothing wrong with dressing that way either. You can be different and really he isn't going to stand out in those clothes. Chances are people in the classes are half asleep or worried about the upcoming test or are just checking out chicks, not that the dude is wearing a newsboy cap.

Plethora of people here (who are also questioning his fits) want to go way over casual with sweats and hoody and nothing is wrong with that but then if we say something, we get labeled snobs and that we should get off our high-horse and close-minded, again it's a circle jerk argument in the end. No one wants to concede and they do not want to accept the explanation simply because a man of pinoy732s age shouldn't wear what he wears even if it is what he wants? I mean really, the logic there is simply flawed.

For this to stop, someone criticizes (it looks costumey) and another explains (it's not, it's how he likes his clothes), maybe another rebuttal (doesn't look typical) and if there is a good to decent explanation/answer (he went to visit his grandma & to a frat event and it was explained how it isn't really overdressed) then the one criticizing either have to accept part of that with an open mind and say, "oh ok, it makes sense" for the discussion to reach a conclusion instead of the typical "no, that just doesn't work, it's overdress because you are 25 years old and my teach dressed like that". If the answer is always the latter, then there really is no end it'll end up with e-hair-pulling and e-eye-scratching.

And as a not, Pinoy732 has gotten plenty of criticism in the beginning and the advice was accepted and he has improved, I still say he needs to cut his hair though.

you guys do understand that aside from what Adrian posts on here, YOU GUYS DONOT KNOW HIM PERSONALLY!!!....maybe just maybe he grew up on his moms dressing him up in cardi's and button ups, the hell do you guys know??....exactly why i said you guys are not being constructive, rather critical, period.

Constructive critical doesn't matter if you don't want the critical don't post the pics cause that comes with the territory. If I posted my pics (don't take pics of me dressing nothing against yall though) I wouldn't care what people say cause I take the good with the bad. My only things is yall know its not all going to be roses so why pay attention? Its the internet and like you said not many people on here know people personally so that should even make it more reason not to pay alot of attention to these comments that are too "critical" for your liking.

lyonbc1 · Nov 6, 2012

Good grief can we just stop with all this :lol:

We each dress how we dress, its PERSONAL style, anybody saying that some in here are :trying to hard" thats totally subjective, stop worrying so much and reading into what the next man is wearing guys.

If you think maybe someone could have not worn a tie or blazer, just say that hell maybe offer a different piece to substitue...that is constructive criticism not " Is this thread about being a grandpa?" cmon fam, if you don't like the blazer or a certain suit, shoe, sneaker, pant look, then post one you like or offer alternatives....dude's who have JUST started commenting here want to attack regular posters who actually are willing to share their own PERSONAL style smh After all we can each learn from each other and get some inspiration on how certain things work and how to use certain pieces in our daily lives
