https://twitter.com/is_brittle/status/1856908717200928942Once you give up on the idea that style is just about looking attractive, you'll feel freer to explore other aesthetics. For instance, the Japanese brand Kapital riffs on workwear, militaria, and folk clothing.
https://twitter.com/JamesRLandrum/status/1856871949135126904Some of you may remember American Apparel. They were huge with young, urban consumers (often called hipsters) in the early 2000s. The company was popular for their US-made basics, such as t-shirts and sweats, which they marketed through sexualized advertisements.
https://twitter.com/trendnoticer/status/1856816843802951974With rare exceptions, I've never considered someone's ethnicity when posting a photo of a good or bad outfit. One exception that comes to mind is when I was critiquing Steve Harvey's suggestion that you can wear suit jackets as sport coats.
https://twitter.com/rbrtrmstrng/status/1856085853061124582First, which of these two outfits look better to you? Would you say that one is bad? And another is good? Or would you say they're both the same?
https://twitter.com/FilipStyczynski/status/1855015678459142457What is meant by traditional or conservative? What is meant by postmodern? To have a meaningful discussion of this, we must first go back, once again, to the turn of the 20th century.
https://twitter.com/KKriegeBlog/status/1855029668652413160The elaborate dress you see on monarchs in portraits was a talisman for power. The point was to create an otherworldly image and convey a powerful, imposing presence, which helped legitimize both their role on the throne and the institution of monarchy itself.
https://twitter.com/memeticsisyphus/status/1854887602404381098Let's look at just one example. We can take Western European dress habits since talking about "brown" countries is apparently triggering. Prior to the rise of the Anglo suit, members of the French court wore their own version of the suit (called habit à la française)
https://twitter.com/jtatkins/status/1854771418929500537The most obvious example is the suit. Prior to the end of the 19th century, men in high positions wore elaborate forms of dress, often made from sumptuous materials in vibrant colors. The clothing was worn to both signal and justify their position in society.
https://twitter.com/BynumJimmy/status/1853610203846996393In late 19th cent, Victorian feminists started wearing a long one-piece form of underwear known as the union suit. This was part of a dress reform movement, where women wanted to be more comfy. Men later adopted this type of women's underwear & turned the top half into t-shirts
https://twitter.com/cstx924/status/1853282812666798241The first and most obvious is a field jacket. Every armed force around the world has their own designs. Since I'm based in the US, I will only talk about the ones issued by the Quartermaster General of the US Army.
https://twitter.com/Kenasha/status/1853052954279923948When I was on a menswear forum, I once debated the same four guys for like eight months straight, arguing every day online, about how oxfords should be worn. In the end, one conceded that the only people he sees doing what I recommend are old guys at his church.
https://twitter.com/Kenasha/status/1852876922415689947I agree with Kenasha that dress is cultural; what we deem as "good" is often about cultural language. If you don't find my examples compelling, there's of course no reason to consider my suggestions. But I disagree my advice leads to drab outfits.
https://twitter.com/polyeaster/status/1852777592048230794First, most men could use a dark worsted suit because this is still the expected uniform for weddings, funerals, court appearances, and some religious services. Get a single breasted, notch lapel suit in dark grey or navy. And the things you need to wear with it (shirt, tie, etc)
https://twitter.com/JustinBPerfumer/status/1852469354417344860There are two keys to understanding why this doesn't work. The first is knowing the difference between a suit and a sport coat. A suit is a garment where the jacket and pants are cut from the same cloth, and they're meant to be worn together.
https://twitter.com/JoshuaJ137/status/1851807628126540275If you find that you wear through fabrics quickly, try to wear heavier fabrics, and switch from plain weaves to twills. Generally speaking, twills are more durable. There are many types of twills. In men's tailoring, I particularly like cavalry twill and whipcord.
https://twitter.com/deansmanship/status/1851309064715637054First, some caveats. This is lookbook from a menswear store called No Man Walks Alone, but the clothes are styled on a woman. I have no opinion on how women should dress; the clothes styled here to appeal to menswear nerds like me. So I am speaking from that perspective.
https://twitter.com/AaronLionheart8/status/1851033224123986196Our judgements of aesthetics can be affected by many things. Fashion brands and marketers know this, which is why they present clothes on models staged in settings like this.
