Dressing Better Vol 2.0

[grandtheftbike]

That camel blazer is nice up there.

Man I need some new APC's, my Petit Standards I bought las April are too tight on my thighs after two soaks Makes me mad because they were progressing nicely. An other recommendations besides APC's though? I like raw denim, can't really go the pre distressed route anymore

whats your price range?

No you said frowned upon and acceptable. Those were my words.

Yeah, and im not saying anyone is right or wrong for wearing that kind of attire to a class. I just think that if "dressing down" is open to criticism then "dressing up" is open to it as well. Thats the only point I was trying to get across.

Clothes send a message, but that doesnt necessarily mean that nice clothes = nice message all the time.

^ Wearing that to class seems a bit too formal... Especially with the tie, just looks like you're trying way too hard.
Outfit looks good but I wouldn't wear it to class, that's all.

let that boy cook.

at UNKNWN not being black, i thought you posted a fit before. im trippin.

I have, I've posted several actually that all displayed alittle of my skin, which definitely isn't black

Thanks for the love DB.

As for the people not a fan of today's outfit, to each his own. Totally see where you guys are coming from but these are my clothes and I wear as I see fit. Gonna have an attempt at that wooster camo fit tomorrow. #forgivemeRFX

If you have a problem with the way some of us dress to class...

I would just go with APC again man, maybe size up this time, or just don't wash them in warm water unless you really need a shrink

Yeah that's what I'm thinking. People really over-exaggerate the stretching on APC's though, it's really not that serious as I've learned the hard way

 

[typerpinoy]

dude they are jeans. just wash them. inside out. hang dry

 

[jonathango]

cold water in a tub with woolite dark?

 

[D.Josey]

Those look pretty premature for a year of wear. I'd keep wearing if contrast is your ultimate goal

 

[typerpinoy]

petite standards are small as hell. NS are a better fit all around unless you are anorexic

I'm pretty skinny - like 5'9" and 150. I like Petits and I went with a 28 I want to try a 29 or 30, just waiting for a sale to roll around somewhere.

Yup learned this the hard way. They've stretched out thank goodness but I will not be buying another pair of PS anytime soon.

The denim itself seems great but they are tighter than I like to wear my denim

Point taken. The message also depends on the receiver too though.

Oh, 100% agree.

They need to be washed man. They are starting to smell and my gf telling me they probably have MRSA growing on them

Hit a cold soak with Woolite bro.

Sorry for the rapid posts, I'm in class

 

[unknwn]

I need to wash my APC's it's been a year. Can anyone help me out? I'm really scared n don't wanna mess em up. Peep that cig box on the left pocket

Soak them in your tub in cold/warm water inside out, LET THEM AIR DRY.

my body is so ready for spring summer already. who ready for that loafer, boat shoe, driving shoe, moccasin life?

Seriously

Some people make them look so good though

 

[gagjr]

No detergent? Should I use woolite dark or whatever?

yes woolite dark bro. i also waited a year mine werent as nearly destressed so i am dissappointed in my was. yours are going to turn out great though.

Seriously

for my build i think PS are to small but the leg opening on my NS are to wide. i am contemplating taking them to the tailor but im scared.

It's funny that you say this because when I was getting dressed for work this morning my girl said something along the lines of, "I love watching you get all dressed up nice for work. But usually, when I see people dressed up in a suit and tie I think they are douchey." I asked her why and she said, "I don't know, I guess it's because I see them walking in the street and not in their office so I just assume they are arrogant."

So I get what you're saying that it doesn't always send a nice message.

I don't understand this but it happens all the time. As soon as you throw on a suit, sportcoat or blazer outside of an office setting people are quick to assume that you have some sort of an elitist or holier than thou attitude. Never got this one.

Me too man. No socks FTW
