Getting older, almost 27. How do I avoid looking like pic related when I hit 30? He must be wearing $5000 of shit and looks like a fucking joke. What brands should I be looking at to be subtle yet fashionable? I prefer quality and not fast fashion.

Yea that's what I was thinking. Some of the new Uniqlo U looks are not bad either to mix in with mainline Lemaire to reduce the cost of building a whole wardrobe with it.

Well this dude looks around 30 and I think he looks just awful:
>>11921409
I know he is wearing Harden or some other expensive artisinal brands but it really just looks bad to me and sticks out like a real try hard.
While this:
>>11921579
Looks nice to me and its details are subtle.
I don't want to be the guy walking around in his 30s looking like he tried too hard and isn't pulling anything off. I have no delusions that I am a model or anything and I am getting older so while my waist line increases my hairline will inevitably retreat. Have to be honest with ourselves as we age otherwise we look like the OP pic.

It doesn't just have to be lemaire tho, I got a great sacai coat for like 300 on grailed that would normally retail for a grand at least
brands like marni, jil sander, yohji, CDG, stephan schneider, prada, etc all make stuff that would go well with it, yohji, cdg, schneider and Prada in particular you can find a lot of good 2nd hand stuff

>> No.11921660

>>11921629
I just worry because my style and taste level are not as good as some of the guys who have been into fashion for a few years. I am worried if I start mixing and matching I end up like a confused mess like OP pic. Keeping it all one brand/style might be safer for people like me. I don't want to be into "fashion" long term.

clothes are something you are going to wear your whole life, theres no reason why you cant wear well made, nicely designed clothes your whole life
theres a big difference between hype teenager shit like vetements and the brands that will always do good, refined, mature clothing
just keep looking at inspo from designers you like, reading about stuff etc and it should come naturally to you if you have an eye for this kind of stuff
also if you look hard enough you can find some good deals on this stuff as well, even from several seasons ago

>> No.11921700

how would you fix this outfit? I like the jacket a lot. Wearing headphones for a fit pic seems a bit tryhard and it's not helping but to me the problem isn't so much the clothes but how he's wearing them.
I don't think I'd use those jeans with that jacket. maybe some nice dark gray ones. Those look navy and don't go well with a dark gray jacket.
I also think this fit would look better with some sneakers or at least not brown derbies.
I also don't like the way he cuffed the jacket or jeans

>> No.11921756

>>11921681
I see what you mean but the dude in the OP pic seems like he has been into fashion for years and his pieces are all refined, mature clothing from top of the line brands. But look at the end result.
Yea I am going to try second hand for Lemaire, I just hope the condition is ok. I don't know if I can trust Grailed sellers.

he's just shit at styling and the pants don't fit

I think artisanal and avant-garde menswear tends to be a good look for men and most of the pieces age quite well because they rely on subtlety rather than garishness
it can get pretty expensive, but it's unique and usually really well made

I wear stuff like Ann Demeulemeester, Carpe Diem, The Viridi-Anne, Individual Sentiments, and Sruli Recht

It's more important as you get older to pay attention to the fit of each piece and how you put together the whole outfit because you're expected to know how to dress yourself well as an adult and you can't get away with looking sloppy like you can as an irreverent youth

OP pic is bad for these reasons
- the jacket and jeans don't go together texture or style-wise
- jacket cuffing is not bold enough and should either show more lining or be uncuffed
- the jeans are too long and the cuff is lazy, awkward, and ugly
- wtf big headphones for daily wear ever, let alone in a photo where you could have just taken them off first

dude could rock the coat in an old timey inspired fit with harnden pieces and larger cuts or he could go the opposite route and slim down the pants to something like Label Under Construction woven pants or Sruli Recht Felling trousers

shoes are cool but get a little dwarfed by the bagginess of the jeans break
I feel like cropped pants would work well here to offset the shoes

dude.
calm down.

looking tryhard isn't age specific.

I'm 27 and so is my social circle.
not one of us is wearing shirts and slacks and I don't think anybody ever will.

if this is how you want to look (no judgment here) then go for it. but don't feel restricted by your age.
as you said allready don't deny it , work with what you have and make resonable decision with wich you are comfortable.

again if that means slacks and shirts, have fun.
if you'd rather wear a leotard and some geobaskets and you don't think there's anything wrong with it, go for it.

Some brands can look totally different season to season. I got several pieces from Sacai FW15 (suit set and coat) which are really cool but they look/feel nothing like the recent releases (the ones with the big ass LIIFE graphic). I get the feeling she's moving towards more street stuff overall compared to previous seasons.

Also on the same boat, same age group etc but i still have a stack of hyped sneakers from when i got interested with sneaker cuture. Kinda wish I had one concise theme with my wardrobe sometimes

I want to like Paul Harnden but I think I have literally never seen it look good on a real human.

The problem with that outfit is that it's desperate to signal "I wear artisanal fashion". Was there any need to autistically roll the cuffs? No, but how would other SZ posters know you were wearing a kosher brand?

The older you get, the more I think that Rick Owens quote about "not trying to talk with your clothes" applies.

1. cuff jeans or shirt, not both (in this case i'd lose whatever roll is happening with the shirt sleeves)
2. a slimmer boot or shoe in a lighter shade of brown or black, or go with white sneaker.
optional: ditch navy jeans for black, or charcoal trousers. or camel/tan, in which case the boot color is fine, but still too chunky.

Here you go

Start by getting your shit tailored. One arm of yours is slightly longer than the other, so is one leg. Getting your shit-whatever you like-professionally tailored makes you look more symmetrical, and thus right and more attractive.

Wear belts. Your pants have belt loops for a reason. Use them. You will look 10x better and more put together.

Go with classic, not trendy. Trendy makes you look like a tryhard, especially when shit changes without you knowing. Classic never changes that much, because people always look great in it. The big names everybody knows-Lauren, Hilfiger, Boss, etc-are big because they have embraced the classic styles.
Never wear brown anything anymore. Seriously. Brown makes you look like a fucking hick.
