They better be double breasted. Just please for the love of everything that is based don't wear them with a crewneck shirt.

>>17677176
w2c crockett's look on a budget?

you will look nowhere near as sharp or cool as they do. that said, got some pics of the suits that you want to buy?

>>17677746
the thrift store
Uniqlo will have everything you need for the inner layer, but I'm not aware of any brand that sells suits cut like that nowadays, let alone linen ones
maybe Suitsupply can get close enough if you spend ~€6-900 on a made to measure suit based on one of their existing models, but a number of details are going to be different, mainly the exaggerated (by today's standards) shoulder width and padding and the height of the lapels' notch
another thing to consider is that Don Johnson is built like a fridge, so unless you're built the same you should wear something in the same style, like a dated-cut, solid pastel color linen suit, or even just a jacket with jeans, paired with a solid pastel t-shirt or other casual short-sleeved shirt underneath
>>17678279
I will definitely look at least as sharp as they do regardless of any pessimism on your part, pic related is one of them and vinted is the biggest mix of blessing and curse bestowed upon me for who knows what unspeakable sins I've committed in my past lives

>>17677176

>>17678357
What does that have to do with this thread?

>>17678361
you think it will look good on you

>>17678345
looks pretty nice. You at least have an idea what makes the details of their fits, even if that coat is unusually dark, but you never said that you want to wear their exact style.
Regarding the pessimism: unless you're going for Tubbs' style I guarantee you that you'll look almost like those guys with the drive jacket, it's certainly hard to pull off. It's very much fun if you do, and I mean that I probably look like a huge dork in my vice fits, but whatever.
Lastly: >>17677181 double breasted with a crew neck would really be a sin, but a casual unstructured single breasted jacket? I think it works if you have the frame.

>>17677176
Yes based show. I hope you wear Drakkar Noir or Cool Water to your based 80s inspired style.

>>17678363
from my earlier post it should be obvious that I don't mean to cosplay as either Tubbs or Crockett, rather to expand my wardrobe with the kind of casual linen suits you see on Miami Vice, though possibly with a more modern cut
>>17678383
I do own two bottles of Dakar, though the outfit you posted looks more like Acqua di Giò to me
at any rate, you'd love poolsuite dot fm

>>17678494
I wish there's a time machine sorely to experience the 80s. I'm not even born in the 90s, but as a millennial the 80s give so much nostalgia it's insane.
Buying the unreformulated Drakkar Noir and enjoying girls before internet/smartphone fuckery.
Guys, i have memories listen to this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aGCdLKXNF3w&pp=ygUrZXZlcnlib2R5IHdhbnRzIHRvIHJ1bGUgdGhlIHdvcmxkIG5vc3RhbGdpYQ%3D%3D

early in the morning with my dad before church. Everytime i spritz Drakkar Noir or Dakar on me i get this memories.

>>17678527
>enjoying girls before internet/smartphone fuckery.
Man... just imagining this almost brings a tear to mine eye.

>>17678345
this one sadly turned out to be too big for me, so I didn't get it in the end
on the flip side, I got this to start off, it's a tad more modern than I would have liked but the price was good enough
next, something in solid pastel color and slightly more padded shoulders

>>17679863
that one is more versatile anyway, nice structure

>>17678713
Nice music taste anon

>>17678527
how is the new Drakkar Noir different?

>>17681072
weaker, with worse performance and no oakmoss, if you want the original smell buy Dakar by Al-Rehab

This is what Miami Vice looks like?
I might have to watch it now.
I knew it by name only.

>>17684534
It was pure kino.

>>17684534
Every scene looks like a vaporwave album cover. It's one of my top 5 favorite shows of all time. If you played GTA Vice City you will love it.

>>17684548
>one of my top 5 favorite shows of all time.
Mine too, anon. The blu ray remasters were incredibly well done considering it's a pretty niche show nowadays.

>>17684551
Blu ray remasters?
Fuck, nigga, I'm just about to finish a full rewatch (now at S05E13) but I guess I'm gonna have to watch the whole thing again.
Blu ray fucking remasters!?

>>17684593
Yeah there's a bluray remux torrent that is like 868GB and looks great. It has every song included from when it aired on TV in the 80s.

>>17684537
>>17684548
it was considered impossibly cringe for the first 20 years after it was made

at the time, men who dressed like that were mocked for trying to look like a TV show

t. too old to be here

had an info graphic saved, looks like a collector made this comparison. The items get visually close, but are not the same that were on the show

>>17684600
>trying to look like a TV show
this is absolutely normal nowadays so might as well pick a show with lots of effay fits like MV

>>17677176
>I'm about to buy two linen suits
Do it. Linen is comfy as fuck and peak leisurecore. If you live anywhere with warm weather I can promise you that you won't regret it.

>>17677746
>w2c crockett's look on a budget?
thrift for it. Sonny almost never wears a matching suit so it's not hard finding the right colors and fabrics and you can always get alterations done on finds that are too big for you.

>>17678357
None of that anime shit actually applies to emulating a style that uses traditional clothes and loose fits.

>>17684600
>TLDR fashion trends come and go

Not exactly breaking new ground with that one.

>>17684636
It's always been like that. Before it was TV, it was film, before that it was whatever the royal members wore. These days it's probably social media influencers.

>>17677176
bump for a based look

>>17677176
certainly helpful in hot weather if you need to wear a suit. Linen breaths and you can feel the wind on those hot days.

thanks, I'll keep that in mind

>>17684593
Yeah, it looked incredible. I bought the DVDs just a week before I discovered the blu ray, so I was able to compare and the blu rays absolutely shit all over the DVDs.

I'm amazed you made it to season 5 though, the show starts to get shaky during season 3 and gets really off the rails by the end with some really weird and dumb episodes.

>>17684600
True, Miami Vice was something people shit on heavily through the 90s and early 2000s, but there's a appreciation for it now.

>>17688681
>the show starts to get shaky during season 3 and gets really off the rails by the end with some really weird and dumb episodes.
Yeah I noticed this. I've never seen the full show before really so it's actually not much of a rewatch, more of a continued watch. I'll get the blurays and stick to seasons 1-2 probably.

>>17688687
>I'll get the blurays and stick to seasons 1-2 probably.
For sure. Season 3 still has some GREAT episodes, but they are fewer and very far between, so cherry picking a few from there isn't a bad idea either. I think the show pretty much jumps the shark when Zito is killed off, so I usually end my viewing before that two parter happens.

>>17688681
I feel that the fourth season wanted to be more about virtue signaling and supernatural stuff, as opposed to first season showing that undercover work is dirty and they live with that

bump

>>17688687
If you haven't sat through the whole series, it'd be worth at least going through it once. It's kind of cool seeing celebs that would later peak in the '90s and '00s doing one-off roles on a TV show. Plus there's still a few cool episodes in the later seasons worth watching.

>>17688681
>>17684600
The cringe turned to nostalgia some time in the early-'00s. Mostly felt by people too young to have first hand memories of the '80s cultural zeitgeist.

>>17685476
>>17685488
I don't get it

>>17688860
Yeah, the writers were giving up by then and the shows creator and the original writers had bailed out just a few episodes into season 3 and Dick Wolf (the guy who later created Law & Order) took over the show. By season 5, even the composer for the music had bailed out and Dick Wolf was barely involved, so it just became a total mess.

>>17686107
if you're going to go 80s, go full 80s: add cotton/linen blend off-white pants, light pink shirt or even polo or t-shirt. jacket is already long by modern standards and strong shoulders, so it looks vintage. I don't know where you'd wear this tho, it's bold af

>>17677176
>adore the look and feel aesthetically great wearing shirt + jacket/suit
>start sweating profusely if I wear anything warmer than a tshirt even during autumn/spring
it was over before it even began vice-bros.....

>>17686107
Where’s the blazer from, thrifted?

>>17693441
how about t-shirt and a loose fitting white yacht jacket?

>>17693441
if you're sweating in loose fitting linen there's something else going on

>>17693576
like genetics
linen is cool and dries quickly but also absorbs sweat quickly and feels disgusting after

>>17692938
>strong shoulders
there are my shoulders, this jacket doesn't have much padding and it's fairly narrow compared to others I own, see pic related
>>17693469
thrifted, originally from Conbipel, an italian low end casual to somewhat-formal clothing brand
I paid about €23 for the whole suit but the quality is abysmal and the conditions could be better, I can't recommend it

>>17693576
>>17694794
>tfw don't sweat and even in Miami wearing linin, i'd still feel like i was in a cool room with a thin sheet over me
Linen can be peak comfy.

>>17677181
Why double breasted? If it's for summer wouldn't the extra folded over part be detrimental?

>>17692938
>I don't know where you'd wear this tho
That's the thing with linen suits: They're super casual. As long as it's not any formal or business environment, it's totally fine as long as it's warm weather.

>>17696171
Don't listen to him. DB linen jacket is retarded. But DB jacket is definitely very '80s and Tubbs would often be wearing one, but it was never linen. Tubbs would also wear it open sometimes by that's almost always because he was about to pull out a gun.

>>17696236
would a DB linen suit also be retarded, and why?

>>17696713
the point of a linen suit is to be very lightweight without much structure to keep you cool and comfortable. DB is the opposite of that, it has more layering, more structure and you're more wrapped up in it. also might be harder to make out of linen although I'm not a tailor so don't quote me on that

>>17696713
All the plantation owners wore double breasted seersucker and cream linen suits, that sounds awesome to me.

>>17696789
never heard of something like that, most of the time it's single breasted on the pictures I saw

>>17696777
wouldn't fine wool be even warmer?

>>17696777
and this one looks more like linen to me, but I suppose it's a blend because the body stays crisp and only the sleeves crease

>>17698278
Yes it would, Tubbs' dressing always confused me because it seems unrealistic for the crazy SoFlo heat, especially for a character who canonically hails from NYC. He is effay as fuck though no doubt about it

>>17698278
Modern thin/fine wools can be incredibly thin. They can also be woven with 'tropical' weave or similar which is open and allows air to circulate.

Conversely, some linens e.g. Irish linen - can be extremely thick, dense, and heavy.

In other words - wool can be very cool, while linen can be very warm, depending on the weave. The assumption that linen=cool and wool=warm is not necessarily true.

>>17686107
could be a lot worse actually but the colors suck IMHO. the fit is good though from what I can tell

>>17698278
Sonny's jackets are always pure kino.

>>17677176
I love the trend for baggier suits and cuts

>>17678345
Yes suitsupply is very good for this
This linen suit is from them

>>17677176
Blazer is suitsupply pants are Zara

>>17677176
Didn’t buy this one
It’s a shame the cut and color is great but 150€ for h&m and 100%polyester no way

>>17696789
>plantation owners wore double breasted seersucker and cream linen suits
No, they didn't. They typically wore frock coats during the heyday of fully functioning plantations. By the time seersuckers in modern cuts became fashionable in the American South, the Second Industrial Revolution was ending and WW1 was about to kick off. Furthermore the white linen suits and seersuckers were worn by enough non-plantation owners around the world that it's not really a look associated with them.

> that sounds awesome to me.
If you're deadset on looking like Col Sanders just keep in mind that it's not going to look like an outfit influenced by MV.

>>17693576
yeah like maybe it's 115F

>>17698972
>>17698974
You look a lot better with a buzzcut than long hair, my man. Glad to see you're still posting.

>>17699031
long hair would fit the MV vibe better

>>17698985
where did you get a t-shirt with such a large neck, or is it a tank top?

>>17688860
What supernatural stuff other than the James Brown/Chris Rock UFO episode?>>17692825
I still think the whole series is worth watching if you have never seen it before, just stop watching in season 5 with the 2 part series finale with AL Swearengen from Deadwood.

>>17699654
they had a mad scientist who dabbled in reviving corpses or putting people into cryosleep. Then there was also this episode about a TV priest

>>17698278
It can. But lightweight wool, different blends, and different weaves are also a thing while still technically being wool. You can't presume that "wool = always warm" and bad for warm weather. You also have consider the individual preference. Some people are just able to tolerate warm weather better than others and vice versa with cold weather so wearing wool in warm climates is fine for them.

>>17686107
The jacket shoulders slope and your shoulders slope don't match, resulting in crease lines running from your neck down towards the shoulder and chest.

>>17699994
isn't that rather normal if the jacket isn't buttoned?

>>17701210
Absolutely not. That just means the jacket shoulders line don’t hang right on the body.

>>17701239
I noticed for example, that the shoulder creases if there is more fabric than my shoulder is wide, so the sleeve pushes against the neck and scrunches the fabric in between. This could be the case here.

What's up with Crockett wearing long sleeve sweatshirts in the later seasons? Did they film in autumn?

>>17701251
Anyway suit jacket is not a flat piece of cloth, it is more a 3D shaped bag. Finding a suit that fits you off the rack is quite difficult, without further alterations done.

>>17678357
Not even the product pictures look good. These are all bad designs

>>17678713
Virile, classy, and cool
When did we fucked up ?

>>17698284
I forget, did they use shoulder holsters in the show? Because there's no way that wicker belt is going to be able to support a full-steel handgun.

>>17703057
Yes, hence the loose jackets

>>17686107
based flatfoot

>>17703057
Tubbs usually has a small revolver inside the belt if I remember

>>17703057
Crockett did yeah

>>17686107
Well tailored but the colors and ultimately the fit are not at all 80s. Looks more like frat boy that has a summer internship in his dad's company

>>17678357
I know you mean "don't cosplay" but it's not really applicable here
save for obvious LARPs, a linen suit is just fine

>>17686107
just needs a floral shirt

>>17677181
I know nothing about fashion. What's the issue with wearing a crewneck shirt under a suit and why do they need to be double breasted?

>>17704034
>What's the issue with wearing a crewneck shirt
nta, but there is something off about the (wool) suit and crew neck look, as if the person wants to appear not stuck up, so they opt for teenager clothing. This one sort of works, because the suit appears casual, too

>>17704034
It's a lazy casualization of the suit, it's a level further than wearing an unbuttoned collar with a suit. With a dark wool suit that makes it look stupid and tasteless since that's supposed to be formal attire, but linen suits are more casual so you can get away with it.

>>17704130
check this TV presenter: wool suit, buttoned, looks weird

>>17704130
finally, the goose in a very miami vice style fit, not wearing a full suit

>>17704034
there is no issue with it
they better be double breastfed was a reply to the OP, questionable as it was
double breasted jackets usually look more formal than single breasted ones, so there's more of a contrast wearing them with t-shirts
>>17704144
>you shouldn't wear an unbottoned collar with a suit
>follow me for more menswear rule

>>17704150
okay this one actually does look like shit and it isn't helped by the shirt being asymmetrical around his neck

why does the odd db jacket work so well?

>>17698278
those horizontally striped jackets are pretty cool, but I'm really uncertain whether I should get one: my gut feeling is that of the cut goes wrong it will look rather like a chevron pattern pointing downwards and I'd rather go with a vertical stripe to stay safe

second try

I tried again with the linen jacket just for the sake of it but the color's too muted compared to the shirt imo, I also have a salmon colored t-shirt but the texture's enormously different and I still don't think it would look too good with this shade of brown and rough texture
>>17699994
I tried a few different poses and a few other jackets and this really is true, thanks for the tip
>>17703158
they only look flat at times but they're quite flexible, walking barefoot and in very light shoes really is good for you
>>17703729
oh wow it's the first time someone says I look like a frat boy, it feels good to know that someone thinks I look normal

>>17705925
>>17705949
You over-corrected on the shirt, but it's an improvement. Don't do the gray jacket with those pants. Also, I don't know what the deal is with that waist cord so maybe try #2 untucked.

Also wear white underwear (boxer or boxer-briefs) when the fabric is that thin and clean your mirror if you're going to post selfies.

>>17705925
this one will look good with a solid coloured shirt: coral, lavender. Just make sure that the colour is not too saturated

>>17705949
also nice, but floral shirt looks out of place in both. It has too many colours organized in a strange way

>>17705949
can I say something without everybody getting mad at me

i don't like white linen trousers because they are transparent. white denim is a better choice even in outfits where you would never even consider denim

>>17706990
they are usually cut like jeans and not like dress pants, though?

>>17706990
it's not that denim is ugly, it's that it's too warm to be an alternative to linen

>>17677176

>>17704034
Crewneck shirts look retarded under a blazer or suit or sports coat because of the formality clash. It's a faux pas, a mistake. It's an even bigger mistake to wear a crewneck shirt/tshirt under a double breasted suit because they're more formal than single breasted. The part where they better be double breasted just means if you're going to buy linen suits to replicate Miami Vice, you should get them double breasted because that's what they wear in that show.

>>17712122
except when they are wearing crew neck shirts under extremely casual sport coats

>>17712168
This is it. You have to keep it obviously casual. Mix patterns and materials and avoid other items that are considered formal.

Where >>17704150 fails is that he buttoned the front and we don't know what the rest of his outfit is so it ends up looking like he had to shoot a Linkedin profile photo the last second.

>>17712312
and then there are items like this mix between a shirt and sport coat

>>17712122
>it's a faux pas
>when the son of a man who was never around and was known to only wear wifebeaters reads one single article about manswear

>they wear double breasted suits in Miami Vice
there's a single recurring character in Miami Vice who
consistently wears double breasted jackets
>>17712312
>where that one fails is
that one fails because he's wearing an ill fitting jacket that even today has an evidently dated cut
Ryan in the picture below is wearing a jacket that's cut both more up to date and more formal, and it still looks better despite the bigger contrast between more formal jacket and less formal t-shirt
you don't know what you're talking about anon

How do I dress 80s miami on the beach?

>>17713068
Nah, bro. The cut of the jacket doesn't contribute nearly as much its failure as you think it does. It's the fact that he's trying to wear it formally, has a formal posture, and trying to take a formal photo is what's throwing everything off. If they guy hadn't buttoned it up, nobody would've said anything and you would've had to keep looking for another pic to make your unjust point. Getting defensive after being called out for it twice doesn't help your standing either.

>>17713166
>the fact that a jacket doesn't fit or is cut very short and slim doesn't have lots to do with why it looks bad, in general and in 2023 more specifically
>the fact that a jacket is cut very short and slim fit and with 3cm revers at the widest point doesn't have lots to do with how formal it looks
>your point is unjust and I called you out for it
>no more than one person can have a different opinion than me
this is not debate club anon, it's not a matter of winning or losing, you could re-iterate your points in any possible way and you'd still be wrong

do some of the fits only work because of the consistency? you're used to seeing them in shit like this and it may have been outlandish even in the 80s but fit the Florida vibe maybe. Furthermore, with a plethora of other more acceptable fits you tend to be more forgiving towards the weird outfits

>>17677176

Suitsupply is the only option I can think of, or thrifting if you don't care too much about the very modern cut
>>17717223
>jackets should looked like they did in 1985
it's not like they look bad, but they certainly look dated, no less than the very high up revers will do in 10 years

>>17712168
The question is whether you can actually pull this off in the Current Year. I know loads of people do it, but it signals sleaze. Every single motherfucker who does it comes off as a sleazebag.
This guy does it all the time. He's probably an OK guy, but it still spells sleaze.

db is old and lame. crewneck tee single breast is king this summer

>>17718444
that's a cardigan not a sport coat

>>17721705
it's fine now, thanks for asking
>>17722208
I'll keep it in mind

>>17686107
Consider something with beige/ochre/grey vertical stripes, Tubbs had something like that in season 5

>>17724833
and by something I mean a shirt, kek

>>17677176
Is this the new /sprezzatura/ thread?

LMAOOOO
further proof that body is everything

>>17725080
If you're interested in their fragrances

>>17698985
Without the jacket you’d look like a cartel member lol

>>17723140
It has notched lapels. It is absolutely a jacket. Only, it's some weird Gucci or DG shit, and tailored in a retarded way. Nothing about it suggests cardigan. Cardigans have shawl lapels.

is the ribbing here part of the fabric, or was it done by sewing horizontal lines?

>>17727660
another example with worse quality

bump

Wearing a jacket over a t-shirt will quickly ruin a collar and cuffs.

>>17727660
It's fabric.

>>17729408
how ruined are your shirts?

>>17729419
I can rotate over 15 shirts, wash them in washing machine every day and replace them if needed.
Jackets have to be dry cleaned, which degrades fabric. How often do you want to do that? How many jackets do you have?

>>17686107
what happened to your toe anon?

>>17729556
I have four linen jackets that are unstructured and can be hand washed, and I already had to wash one of them after a long summer trip.

a ravenous shark grazed it as I was getting out of an enormously large underwater canyon 1200m off the coast where I swam to save a kitten who got stranded together with his owner who, regrettably, had already drowned when I arrived
the red you can see on my toe in the picture is antiseptic though, not blood

>>17698985
consider a white jacket, too

>>17705949
the shirt is actually really ugly. I can see a mostly black floral shirt working here instead

>>17712122
only Tubbs wears double breasted suits and he typically wears them over a shirt and tie or at least a collared shirt

>>17721142
Yeah honestly crockett doesn't really look that great, in fact if you really look closely he kind of looks ridiculous there while tubbs looks fine. I still think there must be a way to pull it off but I don't know what that way is

Do we have any photos of someone actually trying this look and pulling it off IRL?

here's a picture of them with their faces cropped out. Honestly crockett's outfit looks pretty hilarious. I don't think you can go outside looking like this

>>17732308
this guy does it imo. It is not an exact copy of the fits, but it certainly has all the typical elements

>>17732313
it's a bit of a zoot suit... and even back then it would be an odd sight, but I guess that the essence of it is that Crockett does not give a fuck. That in turn gives him more credibility among criminals that he really is a drug dealer

>>17704150

>>17677181
this looks cool

that's rather tame, isn't it?

>>17710838
THROUGH THE WALL, SOMETHINGS BREAKING

were the season 5 fits revolutionary at the time? Usually it's Sonny in some generic sport coat, t-shirt and jeans. Looks really underwhelming nowadays

>>17732308
>the shirt is really ugly
no u
>a mostly black floral shirt
if you ask me it looks exaggeratedly busy because of the stark contrast between the light pants and jacket vs. the dark shirt

I feel like the slightly sleazier look of undershirt + jacket suits me better, possibly because of the simpler color palette
I should see if I find a white linen shirt with short sleeves and try that with white cotton/linen pants and a dark jacket

and here's another, featuring a jacket with a slightly more dated cut, though the different textures of the pants and undershirt don't wholly convince me, I still think >>17735984 looks better despite the abysmal quality suit

>>17735980
there's a contrast but honestly this looks 100x better IMO. this fit actually looks really good. Maybe the white pants are too bright but it's still good. throw a gold chain in there as well

>>17735991
do agree with this faggot.
you could try to throw in some loud asscrocodile / snake skin shoes too.

the look with the undershirt would work better without the jacket - show of some muscle or mb throw an unbuttoned shortarm shirt on top

>>17735984
>>17735987
you need a colourful t-shirt or solid shirt, other than that these are good

>>17698972
you should use light coloured loafers instead of black sneakers here

I'm in the mood to start Nilesmaxxing desu
dBs are underrated.

What do you guys think of 90s menswear? A lot of people say its a "nowhere" decade for menswear, but I think it had some pretty interesting things going on. I like the painterly ties and boxy fits.

>>17737236
First season Chandler with oversized shirts and vests is probably my biggest source of inspiration in clothing.

>>17735087

yes, those pastel cookies would look borderline ridiculous in winter unless it's hot all year round

I thought pic rel. really nailed it with a slightly modern twist. But he seems to live in Singapore and can get away with it.

>>17678357
all these would look decent if you lifted and had the right shoulder ratios

>>17686107
looking smooth my man

>>17737236
I wish I could get business shirts with wide spaced stripes but you just can't get them anymore. I managed to save a shitload of 90s ties from my father at least, but no business shirts.

DOWN THE STREET OF MY SOUL

>>17735987
why do you never wear shoes ? its an important part of the outfit

>>17727662
>>17714441
>>17712168
All very well, but with even a little belly I imagine the look changes suddenly to 'slob loser'. Dunno, it seems like a harder look to pull off than you'd think somehow.

>>17741142
you might be on to something

>>17741142
certainly, just look at >>17682841 with really basic items vs. >>17682845. I'd even say that it's a pretty average normie outfit by itself. There is nothing to pull off, just the person is less attractive

>>17677176
>two episodes into this show and I'm about to buy two linen suits

there are people with your type of brain sunk a decade into gangsta rap for exactly the same reasons.

>you like something?
>you're a sheeple!
either you're a neet and live in a bubble, your only contacts with the outside world being 4channel and your mom/aunt/granny who brings tendies to your room every day, or you're picking up pieces of culture and being persuaded by what others are communicating to you, an example being the notion of how the government/establishment/new world order/illuminati/freemason are out to get you and your fellow humans by blasting contradictory information about anything using mass media as a means of reducing the population's capacity for critical thinking so they can ultimately be told anything and they'll believe it, but you're unaware of the effect information has on you, so you spend your time complaing about windmills on 4channel

>>17677176
the fact that a thread this old is still active really says a lot about the state of this board

how would you even pull off something like picrel? It looks like something for a night club to me, but what 40 year olds go to night clubs at all anymore?

he dressed way more conservative during the memory loss episodes when he was an actual drug dealer, I think you're right

>>17737364
how did he go from this to ultra dork?

>>17737236
they had some tacky stuff going on, but at least they tried out new things during the 80s and 90s, such as bomber jackets with lapels, patterns

>>17698980
I think I might borrow this one for chill spring wear. I'm multiracial myself with them good hair and I'm told I look a bit like Prince if you squint hard enough so I think 80s core is right for me. But I've never done it before. Im getting tired of wearing black chinos and leather jackets. Can you give me some tips and what to avoid?

>>17677176
Don’t

Modern suits are viscose lined for whatever reason all the wrinkle of a linen suit none of the breath ability

>>17747042
>viscose lined
what would be better then? at least viscose is made from natural material, even if it is an artificial fabric. The other alternatives would be polyester or acetate, which is purely synthetic, or silk

>>17747042
>modern suits are viscose lined
and so they've been for more than 60 years, with advantages in cost and comfort
>all of the wrinkle of a linen suit none of the breathability
you can easily get an unlined, half lined or quarter/butterfly lined jacket if you don't want a fully lined one, plus viscose is fairly breathable, often more so than silk, the reduction in breathability isn't any bigger in linen suits than it is in tropical wool, which might be just as breathable, and if the heat's so bad that a lined suit is unsuitable any suit is likely to be too warm
>>17747048
>natural = good
>synthetic = bad
why?

Bros, I really wanna do this whole Miami vice 80s retro core but I dont know if this can pass in black core obsessed Melbourne Australia. I really wanna do it this spring, but I'll first dip my toes a lil before fully committing to Miami vice core. Honestly, we dress so basic I feel like for many clubbing amd social scenes around here, you get sneered at for trying.

>>17710027
Bro, whete can I find that shirt? We have the same build and high taper so I assume this would fit me pretty well unlike most shirts

>>17732313
>I don't think you can go outside looking like this

It only worked back in the 80’s.

where can I buy some dark blue linen buttonup longsleeves bros

>>17747547
massimo dutti has linen shirts
