had a quick look around liberty, and noticed that lots of designers (dries, balenciaga, wooyoungmi) are doing nice peacoats this season, and of course there are the inevitable high st followers (cos etc). so how come i never see peacoats on fashun forums these days?

To make my day more downtrodden, I just realize during my metro ride, I lost a button for my Robert Geller toggle coat. I felt it was a bit loose the day before, and I knew I should have just snipped it off just as a precautionary measure. :/

There's no additional button that came with it. I know the commonsense go-to advance is that I should contact RG directly, but I just have to vent a bit. Same deal happened for wool liner button for one my denim trucker jacket. However, if all else fails, does anybody have suggestions as to were to find surplus replacement buttons elsewhere?!

I always see this kid around campus, he looks so dope. He dresses in a sort of fedora lounge old timey style. He was wearing some kind of hat; I don't want to call it a fedora 'cause it's probably not, but it looked like a fedora. He was wearing a leather jacket (maybe an MA-2) and some brown relaxed, high waist pants with no break(creased). Can't remember what shoes, but they were some kind of dressy leather shoe. To complete it he has this leather briefcase. He always gives me weird looks, but I feel like we must have quite a bit in common.

We're both interested in clothing, we both dress differently from most people on campus. We're both kind of dressing the part of a different time period. I'm 2000s streetwear and he's unknown mid 20th century decade. I should talk to him, maybe I'll try and take creep shots ;)

(damn this post makes me sound creepy)

EDIT: I should mention I've talked to him before. He was in one of my classes for a bit.

I hate paying for shipping, especially when buying stuff from Japan. Like the bargains are still great but when the shipping costs half as much as one of the items it just feels unsavory.

You know whats sick? When sneakerheads wear a different colorway of the same shoe on each foot. Actually matching mismatched shoes is super cool in general.

Maybe I should get a couple pairs of similar color schemed 1461s and bring this trend to Derbyshire.

In an attempt to do uni work and care-tagging simultaneously I think I accidently stumbled upon an idea I quite like. Bear with me, but in The Image of the City, Kevin Lynch talks about the idea of "legible" cities or, in other words, cities that organise their parts into coherent patterns that can be easily read by the city's people.

I only mention this because I think the idea of “legibility” can be applied to fashion/clothing and particularly to an individual outfit. It doesn’t really matter if you’re looking at a person’s outfit in real-life 3d or whether you’re looking at a 2d representation of an outfit (such as in a fit pic), the idea is the same - good outfits are often legible, easily read, easily understood, coherent. Every outfit includes, to some extent or another, things like colours, textures, fabrics, cuts, brands, gendered-ness, seasonality, and references to sub-culture and geography. A legible outfit, therefore, uses these factors (and others?) to create a “coherent pattern” of sorts.

I’m not really sure where juxtaposition fits into this – think traditionally masculine and aggressive garments but with feminine touches, for instance – but I guess juxtaposition perhaps can create a legible coherence of sorts – e.g. a challenge against the rigidity/binary of gender – even if it does simultaneously go against the idea of coherence and legibility somewhat. The point I’m trying to make, or at least the point I think I’m trying to make, is that the idea of legibility creates a framework of sorts where something like brand synergy is seen not as an end in and of itself, but as a means to an end, or one of many possible means to an end, with that end being a legible outfit, an outfit that is easily read. It should also be said that I don't for one minute think a good outfit requires strong legibility (i'm not milspastic), I just think that a lot of good outfits are legible.

But now i'm wondering if legibility is simply the counterpart to innovation and creativity? Or maybe, legibility and outfits mutually constitute eachother in some way. I dunno. In retrospect, I’m not sure how much of the above is understandable. In fact, I’ve essentially taken the things that everybody already knows and put it in unnecessarily complicated language and then laboured my point over far too many words. But I’ve had a lot of coffee today and these things happen.

my post higher up the thread was mostly crap i reckon. but ideas are like watermelons – sometimes you think they look good but then you open it up and it’s full of shite.

On an unrelated note though, I've realised i'm currently enjoying clothes more than at any other point since accidently stumbling across r/mfa about 14 months ago. I think I’m finally at the point of being sort of content with what I own, to the extent where I can get up everyday and randomly throw on some stuff that I actually like wearing. It’s quite a nice feeling I think.

Mostly though, I’m starting to get excited about the fact that I will (hopefully) have to start putting together a work-oriented wardrobe at some point in the next 6-9 months, which is a whole new challenge of sorts I guess. Deffo going no-cop between now and when finishing uni in June, but with possible exceptions for one or two crazy sale bargs and maybe the nigel cabourn x fred perry stuff if it’s any good/reasonably priced, but i dont really need or want anything enough to part with money anyway.

also, palace sb stuff has suddenly got massively popular on campus and everybody's just wearing it with pinrolled tight jeans and nike sneaks. don't know what to make of that.

Maybe it's just me being my judgmental self, but if I see a bunch of cool looking people who all look similar in the same place at the same time, everyone somehow seems to look less cool. This applies to both out-there and toned-down aesthetics. When you contextualize someone among similar people, everyone looks less special, and I guess it removes the illusion of the individual's taste and suggests that they're all reading from the common playbook and possibly even buying the same brands if you're talking something recognizable like Red Wing boots.

The exceptions seem to be those menacing aesthetics that are enhanced by being in a gang.

I've wondered a little if I should appreciate the similar-looking people, when they're all together, even more than the individual. It is true that each person may have their own personal variations on things that I just don't get.

I think my sticking point is wanting to keep in mind the illusion of someone as a character who is making intensely personal choices for how they dress. When they're put in the group, their choices become more validated and less brave.
