since my wardrobe is presently so heavily influenced by menswear. since i love the vocabulary men have created within what is still a limited range of choices. since i love the sartorial arguments about tie and collar widths, appropriate numbers of suit buttons and how much cuff to pop etc… and don’t find them trivial at all. since i love the traditionally more masculine fabrics & prints- tweeds, anything utilitarian, denim, pinstripes…

and then watch as some men, fluent in this language, can throw outfits together with what looks like total disregard for all this information and still get it exactly right. balanced & playful. for example…

lewis.samuel‘s neverending wardrobe_remix jumpathon is a channel i am always tuned to. i WANT his scarf, shoe AND bag collection!

and flo & basti’s [boyfriend & friend of my Flickr friend helloalena and this photo is taken by her] perfect daytrip outfits which compliment not only the wearers but eachother.

though things do sometimes get out of hand.

more menswear soon…
