Well I don’t even know what the word means lol
I prefer trousers with a slight break, and can even take no brake (but still covering the laces of the shoe), but a man wearing trousers that show a gap between his shoes and trouser hem looks idiotic to me. Doubly so if he is in a suit with a pair of double monks and no socks…an iGent favorite.
You mean the way you can’t be bothered to learn what “sartorial” means?
Why do you care if someone else isn’t skinny? After all, doesn’t it make you look that much better if they aren’t?
What really bugs me about mens’ suits lately is that “too small” look and the flood pants (way too short)
Skinny jeans. They should be sold with a warning sticker that says, “Yes, these jeans do make your ass look big.”
In the great film The Descendants (2011), set in Hawaii, George Clooney makes the observation that in the 50th state, even millionaires dress like hoboes. And it’s true! The only suit I can recall ever seeing was worn one time only by a Thai student who was graduating from UH and his parents had flown in for the ceremony. Even the bankers wear Aloha shirts.
Contrast that with Thailand, where the climate is much more brutal and men will wear suits to show off their power. They’ll sweat like pigs after moments outdoors, but they’re letting everyone know they are important enough to be ensconced in air conditioning most of the time. It’s largely just politicians and bankers and other high-powered businessmen. The men’s suit is probably the worst development to hit this part of the world, completely impractical, and I consider it a major fashion faux pas.
Here’s what I’m referring to. I lived in Chicago until last year, so pretty multicultural, and never saw another race doing this to that extent (entire buttocks exposed) outside of when Justin Beiber was called out on it.
The looks kind of cute from the front, but from the side? Doesn’t any one have 3-way mirror?
This did not go unappreciated.
And, of course, ill-informed people who will not look up a word or make the effort to improve their vocabularies, or even, for that matter, figure out what the conversation is about.
It’s a mixed blessing, that by this point in life the shape of my body is such that no self-respecting menswear salesman would suggest “slim fit” suits as it would be an obvious insult to my intelligence.
