Usually when I put a fit together there is always something that bugs you for no reason, proportionally or material and fit wise these tiny things that irk me more than they should are the bane of my existence. With this said occasionally I put something together and I just sit back and go "wow" not in the sense that omg guys look aren't I great, but from the sense that deep inside the outfit achieves what I wanted it to do perfectly and it brings a smile to my face on a personal level, gives you a warm fuzzy feeling like you've just been asked out by Karen Gillian who's taking you to christopher raeburns ss15 show. These outfits are 1 in a 1000 that we just don't want to take off and make you want to tell everyone about why you're wearing it.
Now your turn, what outfits of yours make you feel this way? That you put them on and feel perfect
Here's mine
Why is it my current perfect outfit?
School uniforms are my absolute favourite thing in the world, spent 11 years of my life wearing one 5 days a week and I miss it with a passion albeit with strong rose tinted glasses. The culture that surrounds school and how different groups interact and relate fascinates me and specifically what they wear, how they'd modify their uniforms with a slightly exposed tee, a rolling of the sleeve or all black sneakers just to add a bit of flair for uniqueness or status. The sweater over a shirt with the black jeans represents this with the blue being that of my primary school, which played a major role in my development of clothes and dressing differently being encouraged when my mum would take me to the soccer shop and by me these dope plaid Ben Sherman knock offs. Remember going to the astro and getting asked why I'm all dressed up only for the 11 year old me to reply "it's just a shirt". It's only when these moments have passed and we have time to reflect that we realise turning points in our development. The sweater being what it is in more trend terms reminds me of Chris Shannon who I absolutely fucking love at the moment, his styling and vision is so on point it makes me smile every time I see it. Finally the mac lends itself to the over arching themes of British culture in my wardrobe and the hooligans I admire so much. For footwear you're just going to have to imagine all black reebok work outs as a throwback to the school shoe trainers all of us uniform wearers used to try and get away with.
If I really wanted to take this a step further id write messages all over the shirt to represent the tradition of having mates write on your school shirt when you leave, but I'll save that for another time.

Let's here your reasons behind your perfect outfit

Oucho is correct, I apologise for writing like a cunt but I've taken too many film and politics classes it's engrained in me
