to be honest, the goofy side was sort of a coping strategy with the fact that i wasn't conventionally attractive and couldn't take myself seriously as a person
i hope i'm able to even things out, and make the goofiness work for me as an authentic part of my style rather than a cope
don't worry, i'm not ditching the bow ties, winklepickers, or funny little glasses.
I also hope my youtube channel does well, and if it does i'll start doing more live-action and fashion content, even splintering off for a TikTok. it's small, but there is a niche of vintage menswear TikTok accounts that do play to the strengths of that platform, even though tiktok is mostly cringe outside of nichetok edits and meme slideshows
i'll probably want to wear a mask for that though. I don't wanna end up wanting to private everything I made if I have another episode of self-loathing around my appearance. It's not something I'd like to have happen, but I know what I'm like, so better safe than sorry.

I'll admit, not my best outfit. The tie and pocket square I actually bought for a Howard Hamlin cosplay (that I, unfortunately, did not finish in time for the convention I went to (pic related).
The shirt doesn't really go with the suit, and the tie is definitely too saturated to really go with anything.
I'll keep the shirt, but I'll probably pair it with a navy blue, burgundy, or bottle green suit next time around.
Also, I'm wanting to sell the brown suit as soon as I have something better (its my only suit at the moment).It's a horrible poly-rayon bargain-bin suit I only bought for my sister's wedding to fit the color scheme. The jacket is horribly short, the button stance is too high, and the shoulders bunch a little.
Picrel is also probably a better combination of shirt, suit and tie.

That's a great way to kill the already smothered cultural relevance of tailoring (i mean hell, it already killed the /sprezz/ threads here). Gatekeep all you want, but I think the opposite approach would be a messy, but healthy injection of fresh blood. You don't get anywhere by putting down people
I don't dress like this because it's convenient, or cheap, because, with my measurements, shipping costs, and financial means, it's anything but.
I do it because I'm genuinely passionate about it, and if it means learning to turn my wardrobe into a revolving door of stuff I buy and then teach myself eBay to sell just so I can fail upwards into dressing well, so be it. I won't spend the best years of my life wearing jeans and t-shirts waiting to dress exactly the way I want. That would fucking kill me inside.
Plus, talk shit about cosplayers all you want, they're passionate about their craft and are enjoying themselves no matter how "CRINGE DURR BRIDGE" some bitter fuck thinks they look. I genuinely don't take that as any sort of insult
