Insignificant posting from an insignificant poster
Graphic tee's are always cool and i'll be wearing them until i'm dead; obviously i don't care about what people think aboot my style choices.


During my cruise trip last month, wore a michael bolton one, a celine dion joint and an R kelly shirt. No fukks given. The problem with you guys/most people is that you care too much aboot what people think (but then i'm deranged/slight lunatic with degenerate tendencies, so with that out of the way)...


You wanna wear a snazzy shirt with a conspicuous print... SO BE IT! It's your money.



Been wearing novel-tees most of my adult life, not gonna stop now.



As a matter of factoid, chances are.. i'll be wearing one when i'm dying and grey, all the way until i'm being cream aided and headed into the after life.



And people are too affraid to be experimental/go off the beaten path and delve into the obscure. I like to incorporate cool accessories and trinkets (i have two pearl necklaces coming from Amazon and dog tags, even though i've never been to a boot camp clique).



As a matter of fact, my recreational pieces include two pharrell mountie caps (a black one and a brown one), animal tail hip-chains (i have several, if you don't know what i'm talking about, think Cam Newton), davey crocket rac00n hunting hat, wear wedding rings (for fun) and have an assortment of berets (i like that army. better yet navy look).



Speaking of navy, my Pete Mitchell jacket finally cummed in the mail:







Going to a bday this saturday at Lucky Strike. With these dog tags en route and a pair of stone washed denim, a burgundy beret and some basic nike's/off white 2's, gonna have more drip than post nasal... I'll take pix for y'all later.




Just do you.

as a 31 year old you should NOT be wearing these street wear items on a regular basis you're a man
however if you really want to do this mr.porter, Saks fifth avenue, gq, esquire, and maxim are your best friends
Hard disagree. Streetwear has taken over the world. Nigo is the creative director of Kenzo and Virgil was creative director of LV.

A lot of brands that are popular in streetwear are featured in GQ, Esquire and co. and those aren’t the places to look for new inspiration. Brands like AMI Paris, Stone Island and even Moncler were big on streetwear leaning spaces way before those big publications. Recommending GQ is like recommending radio for finding new music.

IMO in your 30s bomber jackets, puffer jackets, distressed / ripped jeans and cargo trousers can be the cornerstone of your wardrobe.

I personally don’t wear graphic t’s but I think those retro graphic t’s with the cool musical act is cool to me although I don’t wear them.

The most loud pieces I like at the moment are those retro inspired striped t-shirts paired with a gold chain




But in the main I rock plain t-shirts from AllSaints or RL or a polo top from a luxury brand (Kenzo my favourite atm) and spice it up with the jacket or accessories.
Don’t forget SSENSE and Farfetch
Farfetch yes. For inspo you can pick up the items from other places for cheaper usually. Endclothing is better though.

As a London breh I feel like I dress sharper than 90% of the coli off rip but the brothers with style are showing themselves and I love it

i don't think age matters with tees unless you actually look old.
im in 30s but my "uniform" is t-shirts and denim shorts and tennis shoes, which is basically a teenage uniform lol.... but add on the baby face and nobody says anything but "omg you look way younger" ... which is not a bad thing :ehh:

now if you look overgrown then yeah, match your aesthetic to your face i guess lol


Agreed only thing age should bring is avoiding low quality stuff.
For your reference.


So this fit here for today, just something i pulled together in less than a minute/no thought into.


Not into desiigner brands/trendy fashion apparel (for the most part) and everything here, sans the shoes, are over 5 years old (so again, i don't follow trends - stress again, for the most part).


The ensemble here is just a basic curve tail hem, fatigue shacket (shirt jacket), selveged denim, comfy tennis shoes and a basic watch. It can be original or it can be what the masses are into, as long as it's what makes you feel comfortable.


I turn 40 in aboot a month for perspective.




The crazy thing, i've been seeing these fashion inquiry threads here being more prevalent than ever before. Cats really looking for aid. I can dig it.


You just have to sample with different styles, shapes, threads, cuts and hues... see what makes YOU feel "drippy".





:queen:

I like this fit breh. This is not too far away from my standard uniform in terms of style. Except I don’t wear selvedge denim. It’s definitely the 35+ stylish menswear look. I think in the age bracket below we able to rock an ‘edgier’ look.

you don't have to be old to rock a blazer and some jeans with dress shoes
Unless you coming from work or going to church I’m looking at you crazy.

I respect the camel coat, roll neck look on brehs. But the Joe Budden hat and blazer combo ain’t it.
Love it. Simple stylish pieces.
30 Can wear almost whatever you want.youre still young.

Nobody can tell you what to wear though.
Just our own styles.:yeshrug:

while I agree anyone can wear whatever they want,
If you over 35, stay away from certain things.
fitted hats. Can't stand mfkers past that age with that. Just stick to plain dad caps.
And no oversized clothing,no fancy coloured sneakers,no cartoon characters on clothing,no fancy jewelry if you not a rapper. or you'll look desperate to these young ho's.
If you hate fancy dress shoes like me, switch to chucks, or classic all black vans, suede desert boots.Adiddas,nike,puma skate shoes.

Addidas low forums, airmax, or af-ones. For kicks.

T-shirts,jeans Basics:
stay away from hip-hop stuff except kanyes. rappers don't wear Thier own stuff.
Stick to plain tees & classics with a lil street edge, nautica,Tommy,Levi's,DKNY,ck etc.
I won’t lie I’m doing better then this my brother. But I agree with your do nots for the 30+. that fitted caps are a bad look for people 30+, it doesn’t work. Some young cats are bringing it back (uk rapper central cee is often in a fitted and his look is very in atm) but leave it for them. Dad caps work for the 25+ crowd.

same thing with the oversized. Young cats are bringing that back and a lot of designers are bringing it in. But apart from oversized t shirts we gotta leave that for the youngsters. Oversized jackets were cool a few years ago but that’s died down.
