so i posed the "wearing crop tops in winter- how? (also... men?)" question awhile back & now here are some interim, experimental results...



the photos are blurry//mehh but the point was to show the silhouettes of various crop tops & how they look given different ways of standing or whatever // how they'd look in everyday situations -- i took these & then realized i'll probs be wearing one of them out + jacket ... so crop top plus outerwear is the next big experiment i guess...
also- i call wearing an underarmour undershirt the "team rocket james" look...
ultimately: i think it looks fine / not bad / wearable -- further research would be if the undershirt isn't black but an actual color (what an out-of-the-box idea)

mirror fits make my eyes look wonky but i'm too lazy to edit

I have moved from all black clothes fashion idiot to regular guy clothes fashion idiot.

New apartment gets some very nice lighting.

Thought to myself the other day that 22 year old me would be very proud of how much EG 27 year old me now owns.

last few months of dressing for myself + the 6 people I interact with at my semi-closed nonprofit office \m/

I feel like I’m having a white shirt moment I’m appreciating white and beige more lately I’m in my frothed milk era I’m feeling very much fashion retail Andrew W.K.

what i've been wearing this past nyc winter

This must have been around February? What with covid and having a pretty bad job I didn´t leave the house much and also let my hair and beard grow very long. After a while it became time for me to leave my hermitage behind but I didn´t want to totally abandon all that hair growth. I kind of gave up on the idea of my top hair being good long but I figured the beard might be good with a shaved head. Duly shaved we left the apartment for a visit to a museum and it felt good to wear clothes I like after mainly staying at home in a sweatshirt for many months.

The wide wool trousers with the long coat is a combo I like but I didn´t really factor in the new hair situation into this look ... it kind of changes everything? Oh well, no big deal, it´s not like I´m going to change outfit because I don´t like how it combines with my new hairdo...

But then we leave the apartment and ... we´re [redacted]. I totally forgot my girlfriend bought me a bicycle for my birthday a few days ago. She has a friend who restores vintage bicycles, it´s not the kind of thing I would buy myself and it´s pretty dangerous but you don´t look a gift horse in the mouth. The look is getting really out of hand now but it´s too late to turn back.

A few metres down the street and oh gosh, my wool trousers are getting caught in the chain, didn´t think of that. But it´s ok, I learnt how to tuck and fold wide pants for [redacted] from my good friend Patrick Grant. Hmm, I forgot that I was wearing orange socks though, I´d assumed they´d be well hidden beneath the folds of my pooled hem, things are really going haywire now.

My humiliation is complete when, upon arrival at the museum, a middle aged street photographer tell us we look like we´re from 1920s Paris and asks to photograph us. And so my most Pitti Uomo look ever was captured eternally. The next day I shaved my beard.
