what a mess! typical example of a trad costume.

you're too damn skinny and every decision you've made goes back to this disqualifying flaw.

first, the barbour jacket has a large collar that makes your neck look even more like a toothpick than normal.

second, the skinny jeans/chinos accentuate your chicken legs, made worse with the contrast provided by the heavy bean boots.

next, the pink oxford and cable knit crewneck are both the most effeminate variations of their categories, which would not be so bad if you weren't built like a lesbian. but again we are forced to come back to your weight.

finally, your pale skin shows you spend 0% of time outside--which helps explain the malnourished physique. perhaps this is due to the fact that your face and haircut demand punches to the face.

i like the glasses though

my advice would be to loosen up. prep/ivy/trad is about nonchalance, and your clothes should allow you some room to relax. also, wear your clothes in more, these all look brand-spanking-new. especially the boots. go stomp around in the mud or something

Not true, they are fine and not feminine. You can wear whatever if you do it well and have confidence in yourself, a masculine guy will pull feminine clothing and be more masculine than you.
>your pale skin shows you spend 0% of time outside--which helps explain the malnourished physique.
Somebody who spends all his time in gym, is going to be as pale as the guy from the picture. Just take a look at olympic weightlifters. Also, if you live in cold regions, going outside doesnt guarantee you to be tan.
>these all look brand-spanking-new. especially the boots.
not really

The biggest problem in that photo and in waywt threads is that people do very shitty postures, if you want to look more masculine, dont put legs so close to each other, open them a bit, like >>13735121 . Also, dont put arms like if they were dead The haircut is bad indeed

Lot of wrong stuff here:
1. Pink oxfords are the most feminine of the oxfords, and cableknit crewnecks are the most feminine variation on a crewneck. I will restate that just because they are more feminine than the alternatives, does not mean they shouldn't be worn, but this aspect of them should be considered before they are worn (especially when worn together). By the way, these are widely know truths to the point that certain people during the ivy heyday and the 1980s resurgence would avoid them to avoid being bullied. Do not correct someone on something you know nothing about.

Those are staples of the prep/ivy league style that have been staples for decades.
The difference with the ll bean norwegian sweater is that it is quintessentially 80s prep and has a strong personality, it is "that one preppy sweater". In that same category would fall bean boots and barbour wax jackets. That's what makes it a cliche in my opinion, not that it's a problem if you don't take this stuff too seriously.

you are retarded. europrep is almost the same as US prep but with more #menswear elements. half the US prep shit comes from Europe anyway, just about all of the knitwear and suiting developments (including 3/2), and certain inventions such as polo shirts.
prep isn't exclusive to the US, at the end of the day prep is just useful clothing, polo shirts for playing tennis, button down collars for playing polo, chinos because they are in your closet and you aren't a poorfag (see Neill Diamond song), knitwear because it is cold.
People wore the same shit in Europe at the time (less button down collars because we didn't all larp as polo players at the time), but we have more than one subculture so don't feel the need to larp as one specific one all of the time so prep isn't that much of a cultural icon here.

>prep isn't exclusive to the US

what a great way to start an argument, i hope you don't mind if i borrow it:

you are retarded. prep is exclusive to the US because it is the name of a style of dressing that originated here. yes, they borrow items from the countries their families emigrated from, but in those countries these items of clothing are not considered prep. it only becomes prep once it enters the clothing system as it came to be defined here. if you told an irish fisherman he was prep because he was wearing a cable knit sweater he would think you were retarded, and he'd be right. you may think that these boundaries are too strict, but that is literally the point of prep/ivy/trad. a strict set of rules about dressing, from which one deviates carefully and deliberately

yes, the name 'prep' and the cohesive style of dressing do stem from the US, but the strict rules were only made in the '80s with the ivy revival which is essentially LARP since it is unorganic and just some revival based on arbitrary rules and very few pics.
What I' m saying is that if you looked at Europeans rich kids universities in the '60s they' d dress very similar to American colleges in the '60s, not taking into account the' 80s 'Making the Grade' LARP.

>> No.13746417

it may be true that they dressed "similarly" but that is only because the clothes in that era looked more similar relative to the wide range we have now. example: shoes were mostly made out of leather and were generally black or brown. however, the subtleties that defined american ivy league style would not have been found on european campuses in the 60s

Those look great. Are they heavy?

I usually get Alan Paine or Cortefiel, for lighter I usually get Nautica

Get cordings/brooks brothers. Or alternatively, the straight fit uniqlo chinos. They have a much nicer drape.Your chinos definitely are a bit too tight imo for a trad/preppy style.

I think I've asked before, what would go with this rather outdated suit? The wide lapels do not bother me. The suit itself is of high quality. I guess people think it's too LARPy, a shame.

But he does have classically good dress sense. Or whoever dresses him has the sense to dress him well.

Also bearded Letterman is superior Letterman.
