/fa/ here, how does /lit/ dress?
how does one dress for the literary lifestyle?

[Anonymous No.8582590]

I wear a vintage black overcoat, fingerless gloves, a long white shirt filled at the cuffs and slightly long so it pokes from the end of my sleeve, black denim jeans, black shoes and I walk with a slight stoop and regularly cough into a white satin handkerchief pretending I am coughing up blood. Feels so literary but I have never had a girlfriend.

Ecuador.
I live on the coastal region where it´s hot always. Temperatures never go below 25 celsius and the sunlight is cancerous. I could only wear sweaters or hoodies early in the morning or at night, when it gets a bi colder.
I could move to the Andes mountains where it´s way colder, but until i graduate i can do nothing.

Goodwill sweaters, flannels/button-ups, sleeves rolled on a lighter button-up in the summer
Slim fit jeans, dark blue or black always
Low-profile sneakers such as vans or boots in the winter. Clarks desert mali are what I rock.

I live in perpetual darkness. North East Canada. We're way past sweater weather. We're mostly can't leave your house or you'll die weather. The worst part is, I used to live south west. I remember warmth. Be thankful for the sun, you never know when they'll take it away from you.

>>8582761
omg!! Anon, I was looking everywhere for this pic!! Bless you. Yeah, that's surkov when he was still working in banking PR in the 1990s. I don't always agree with his politics, but he is seriously fucking lit. Unfortunately, his books are hard to come by.

Wish I could contact him somehow, but since he doesn't work officially at the Kremlin anymore he is hard to find.

>Why?
Because it only works in the sweet spot between summer (too hot for sweater) and autumn (too cold and wet to go without jacket/coat).

There is no literary lifestyle. Writers are hermit loners by profession. People that spend time looking like a writer in public instead of writing aren't writing much, are they?

>>8582581
Most writers just wear whatever they want, even famous writers typically aren't in the public eye enough to care that much.

I live in Texas, so usually blue or black jeans, brown or black boots, and a button up. If I have an important meeting at work or a date I'll throw on a casual blazer (properly tailored ofc).

If its cold I'll throw on a sweater or wear a heavier jacket, but I'm living in Houston right now so it never really gets too cold.

Why is fashion such a superficial and unintelligent form of art? Is it because you're literally expressing yourself in the form of commercial products, so thus it naturally attracts morons who think you can buy intelligence and beauty? Is it because fashion fundamentally values image and posturing over content? Is it because it rewards social presentation and conformity to trends over independent critical thought?

It's a point of fact that only pseuds care about fashion, and those misguided pseuds uniformly have offensively terrible taste in art. I personally wear nothing but jumpsuits except on formal occasions.

[Anonymous No.8582973]

>>8582959

Nobody I've known who has been very into fashion view it all that deeply, although I don't know any designers.

They're all either cynically trying to use it to improve their image or view it as a means of expression.

I don't like the idea of expressing yourself through commercialised products. It feels like you're buying yourself a personality.

It's fun to shit on fashion but don't dress like a fucking embarrassment. Having obviously spent a lot money on clothes and keeping up with the trends is extremely unflattering but I fucking hate being around people who look like they bought all their clothes (and then had their hair cut) at a Walmart. It makes me physically ill.

[Anonymous No.8583292]

mostly flamboastin

I wear long khaki pants year round, with non-tapered legs, I wear these awful cloth pseudo-moccasins, some slip on solid color vans, or my crumbly top-siders, all of them stained by various things

then for the trunk a nice cotton undershirt, a plaid cotton button-up or solid color pullover which except for on the most heated days of summer I accompany with any number of comfortable front cut sweaters or jackets of varying material and density

and though all of my clothes are of a fine quality I wear them into a state of perceptible ruin, and with a casual air that borders on the slovenly and would falter to it if I were fatter

never a hat, sometimes a scarf

Like a slob who hates shopping more than anything. Some baggy hoodies, and loose chinos are always part of my wardrobe. Also a ton of baggy shirts and running shoes.
