these guys are both a style i like to call "mailroom guy".

It's an odd sort of style, sort of its own thing outside of the boundaries of the usual formal menswear styles like, trad, ivy, prep, business formal, what have you.

It's like if you took the less formal more textured end of ivy style, mixed it in with oddball modern stuff like shirts with funky patterns and sneakers in place of dress shoes, and threw in some nerd tropes like short sleeve shirts, clip-on bow ties, pens in the breast pocket, and then having the person wearing it look pretty nerdy from the neck up anyway.

It's not "cool" but in a weird way i feel like it's the style i wanna go for, it feels representative of who i am both in personality and status, and its got everything i like in fashion (thrift store chic, oddball combos), with room to expand and the opportunity to build out the more casual end of my wardrobe before jumping straight into suits and french cuffed shirts and that kind of shit
my arms are too short for most dress shirts so going for short sleeves is a bonus.

edward nygma in season 1 of gotham was the quintessential "mailroom guy" character, being a forensic analyst lower on the totem pole, you could tell his wardrobe was foraged secondhand and pieced together, what with the patterned shirts, odd jackets and pants, chukka boots, and in one scene what looked like orphaned pinstripe pants.
He also has some very obvious 1960s styling befitting of the shows anachronistic setting, with skinny ties, 3 button jackets, and a little tie bar with a question mark typewriter key he always wears, which is very cute and on-the-nose.

also, michael ginsberg from mad men, perpetually rumpled, clearly limited in his wardrobe, and sheogorathic in his choice of patterned shirts, maddening tie, and gaudy madras jacket. not exactly something to aspire to but a good example nonetheless

harry crane was also a more subtle version of the "mailroom guy" style, with the same 2 piece suit, belt, and loafers as everyone else, but with short-sleeved shirts and clip-on bow ties, making him look even more nerdy and boyish than his face was already achieving
>>18024913
chubby guys can be cute nerds too, especially when they wear bow ties

Dirk Gently (the 2010 version) was also very /mailroom/, what with his scruffy hair, skinny ties, semi-formal separates (sport coat, chinos, etc.) and the 70s(?) diamond pattern shirt he wore in the pilot, indicating the "thrift store chic" aspect. He also wore a houndstooth mackintosh coat and messenger bag, too. I think he turned me onto the idea of adopting "mailroom guy" as my style since he really made it work and the character is literally me

[Anonymous No.18025025]

>>18025017
and yeah, on that note i suppose Samuel Barnett's portrayal of dirk gently in the 2016 BBC America series was also dressed in this kind of style, although a lot more high street and a lot less thrift store, with the very modern stubby shirt collars and fruit-patterned ties, and then there's the array of technicolor leather jackets he wears which move it even further from the core /mailroom/ style

he's also a good example of the actual topic of this thread, which is dweeby guys with cute faces, and

BTW, the theme song to the 2010 show is really fucking good, with one of the nastiest(positive) sourest synth solos I've ever heard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubpmzhMot_o

just bought this jacket, as well as some patterned shirts and checked pants.

i'm also planning on incorporating some "hard mod" influences with how the jacket has 3 buttons, many of my ties are 60s-style skinny affairs, and i'm gonna buy very skinny skinhead-esque clip-on braces instead of belts (never had luck with belt length and braces hold my pants up at a much more comfortable height instead of at my hips)

wtf is submasculine. all of these are clearly men, so why the 'sub' part. if you post a runner/athlete showing too much leg, is that submasculine?

This is about where I've ended up at, fashion-wise, without having really intended to
I like a lot of the classic preppy, Ivy League look, the neatness and textures and the enjoyment of finding vintage things, but I'm not (and can't really pretend to be) a squared-away Hyannis Port type, and I like a bit of that 1970s garish ugliness (employed tactically and sparingly, of course)

>>18025007
Ginsberg was excellently dressed I thought. Obviously in the context of the show his outfits are meant to read as inelegant and uncoordinated, but watching it as a modern person they feel very chic compared to modern business casual, and more "relatable" than the very squared-away Don, Roger, etc
