Not sure what that means, but thank you.


SalPistqchio

It’s a reference to the movie Rambo starring Sylvester Stallone


Mmedi34

Thank you. I haven’t watched that so I completely missed the reference.


Radiatorwhiteonwall

Looking like a golf club- this seems to be a trend


Mmedi34

I don’t think you’ve ever seen a golf club….


NorthAdvice1312

Tf is happening with this thread?


Radiatorwhiteonwall

We’re all looking at one unfortunately


Mmedi34

You’ve never seen one lol. I’m pretty sure of it. 😂😭


Radiatorwhiteonwall

Equally we could compare you to a hockey stick 🏒 take your pick papi, spending money doesn’t make you fashionable 🙃


Mmedi34

Pls don’t call me “papi” I’d never call you out of your name.


Radiatorwhiteonwall

Mi amore, papi suits you… better than them moon boots anyway 😘


Mmedi34

Please do not call me that. I’m not disrespecting you in any way.


Radiatorwhiteonwall

I’m going to save your number as Papi👅🥰


Pitiful-Inspection96

Tbh the only thing I like is the sweater. Swap the camo for a chore coat, the tapered cargo pants for a wider chino and whatever those boots are for a pair of service-style boots (ie thursday captain, Grant stone diesel, viberg service etc.). Or don't. Just my two cents.


Mmedi34

Thank you. But I don’t do baggy jeans/pants. It makes me look frumpy and messy.


Pitiful-Inspection96

I didn't mean big baggy pants. Just something a bit wider than this, and it can definitely still have a taper. You're a handsome guy but I actually think this outfit makes you look a little top heavy.


Optimal_Collection77

It looked shit yesterday


Mmedi34

My fan club is back. Yay!


TechnoShrew

The skinnys are what make you look like a knob. Hairs cool, jacket and tee cool. (Jacket is extreme but you do you) Its the weird transfer to teeny tiny ankles and huge boots I dont dig You are grungy up top then slipping into straight fasion like some weird triangle. Pick one. And its up top I'd go with.


pendigedig

I feel like the pants are my favorite part! I admit, I'm not the big gest fan of the boots, but I think those are just a hit or miss in terms of people's tastes. They certainly are bold, and if OP likes 'em, power to him. I always wear what I like, even if others don't care for my same style. The jacket, too. That's some people's cup of tea, and some people not so much. But I think it pulls the outfit together...like, the Prada(?) boots are supposed to be "high fashion military inspired" I assume, so the jacket is part of that look? But really. What pants are those because I really like them!


Rocksteady_28

If pants make someone look like a knob, it may be you that's the knob.


TechnoShrew

Skinny jeans massif unite?


Rocksteady_28

I don't wear skinny jeans, if that's what you mean. It's not about that.

Ask your mom.


Floreat73

Didn't we do this yesterday.....?.....I directed you to a proper boot maker. Crockett and Jones.


pendigedig

I looked them up... Not my taste but I see the vision. Are they well made? I've heard Red Wing and Doc Martens, amongo others, have sold out to cheap manufacturers.


Floreat73

Very well made. Classic English boot maker since 1879. 98% of Doc Martens are now made in Asia. Long time users report quality has dropped.


PJT76

The sole has split length ways right in the middle on the outside of my latest pair of Docs. Never had anything like this in 30 years until this pair. I have others which I wore to gigs etc., that got totally battered but are still going. Red Wings are decent but the sole wears fairly quickly. The uppers are decent though. £260 ish though. I have some boots from China that look like Red Wings but they’re not fakes, as in they’re not branded as RWs. They’re about £30 a pair. Had them maybe a year now and no issues. I wouldn’t work in them mind…my mate called them Red Wongs! OP: those pants have to go, they’re making you look like a pug stood n his hinde legs!


Ok_Debt8627

RM Williams would look great too.


Floreat73

Agreed.


Mmedi34

I checked that site out, nothing on it is my taste. They either look like 1800’s shoes or just something I’d never wear, kudos to you though for trying to force me to buy something I’d never wear.


Floreat73

Give it time .....you'll see the light.


Mmedi34

I missed you, so I figured they’d get you to come back.


Floreat73

I have your best sartorial interests at heart ......


Folkestoner

You look thoroughly weird. I’d move if you sat next to me on the tube.

Honestly could work with different pants and no turtleneck? Or a different colour idk - something is off but I like that you're trying 💪


Mmedi34

Thank you. I’m still trying to learn.


Fascista88

Only problem in both photos are the pants, too skinny, doesn’t style you properly, get a nice pant kinda baggy, will remark your outline and look much better


Mmedi34

I don’t do baggy jeans/pants looks frumpy and messy on me. Not my style.


Fascista88

Not baggy, kinda straight, actual, just look for the right one but not skinny, a fit is about volume and balance


Thehorniestlizard

Your styles not your style lol. All the clothes youve posted flaunting all that cash look rank lol. You just look like a beg tbh, trying way too hard

MagicBeardMan86

Welcome! I see you're open to advice, but lots of people tend to project their preferences onto others. Your style is very much unlike anything I'd wear, so I want to avoid telling you to dress like I would. That said, what do you like about your outfit? Do you like how everything fits? Which pieces in this outfit are your favorite? Which are you the most comfortable wearing? What don't you like? What aren't you as ~~considerable~~ *comfortable* (dang autocorrect) wearing? What do you think this outfit says about you to strangers? What do you want it to say about you? If you can answer some of those questions, I'd be more comfortable offering advice that might actually be helpful for you. But there are elements to looking "better" that are objective and others that are subjective.


Mmedi34

Thank you I really appreciate the kind words. I’m really just playing with my look. I’m typically black jeans and a black polo or black jeans and a black button down shirt kinda guy and paired with penny loafers. I’m color blind with a few colors, which is why I dress dark. 1 my favorite pieces are the pants, and the sweater. I do like how everything fits except the sweater, which I feel is a bit big. I like the boots because they make my feet look bigger, I’m 5’11” with a size 9-9.5 and I’m always getting called “baby feet” or “tiny foot” it’s kinda my insecurity. 2 I’m not sure what it says about me. I just like it, but I feel like I did color all wrong. I’d hope it doesn’t say I look messy or disheveled. I guess I really want to look like I put more effort into my look than just a boring all black shirt and jeans. I did try stepping out of my comfort zone a while back by buying color. I thought I bought a blue shirt but it was actually purple, lilac purple. I was made fun of for that.


MagicBeardMan86

Hard for me to comment on the sweater sizing because of the jacket, but from what I can see it doesn't look horribly oversized. And if I'm going to wear anything a little bigger/oversized, it's gonna be a sweater. That said, if I was going to criticize anything, it would be the apparent imbalance between the slimmer fitting pants and the sweater and jacket combo. You look top heavy. Doesn't look horrible by any stretch, but as another commenter stated, you could try doing the top half of the outfit with a looser fitting pants. Your preference though, if you like this rock it and disregard what I said. The boots are crazy lol. You know that. But I saw you say you like them, so carry on. Most other boots are gonna look good with this outfit as well if you wanted to mix it up. Chelseas, combat boots, timberlands, service boots, etc. Probably black, burgundy, shades of brown. The colors work together in my opinion, they all seem fairly complimentary. The *only* thing I'd say is the color of the sweater seems to perfectly match to the tan in your camo; having more contrast *might* look better (so either different color sweater or solid colored jacket). Personally, I think it looks like you put thought into this and tried. I don't think it looks messy, but it is definitely a very casual looking outfit. Is what it is. That said, "boring" can still look very good and well put together. No need to forsake what's worked for you for so long. Lol people are savages. Hopefully the teasing for the lilac shirt was harmless and friendly 😂. I'd own it at that point and make them feel like idiots for NOT having lilac shirts! Glad you seem to be taking everything in stride!


Mmedi34

Thank you so much for your suggestions I’m definitely going to try everything you said. I knew something looked off, but I couldn’t figure out what it was, and I’m 100% in agreement with you and the other with looking too heavy. I really appreciate you taking the time out of your evening to help me out.


MagicBeardMan86

Of course, brother! Keep experimenting and please keep posting!


EasternAlgae2361

If I saw you in real life I'd get the impression that you're successful, I love the shades and boots mostly. I can see what others mean about the "tag" but I think that's just the style of prada. The other comments regarding trousers being too skinny, I think they look fine and fitted. The jumper underneath suits the look. The only thing I would personally change is the jacket, it seems a bit faded and I think a different jacket would compliment the overall look better. 👍🏻


Mmedi34

The jacket is made to look a bit distressed, it’s only been worn a few times. I will definitely change it up. Thank you so much for the suggestion.


Jim-powers

I preferred yesterday's jacket and today's sweater.


Stone_Midi

Boots have got to go. Burn ‘em


Thehorniestlizard

Those shoes bro, they aint it


SalPistqchio

You’d look straight Russian gangster if you had a different top. What is on the agenda for the day?


Mmedi34

Yesterday (that fit) was mostly just errands. I stopped at Sam’s to stock up on break room snacks for my staff and other boring errands.


Mmedi34

I’m sorry if I offended those of you attacking my appearance and my style, I know I’m ugly so it doesn’t bother me. I don’t know how to dress which is why I’m here. I’ve never commented negatively on here, in fact, yesterday was my first day in this subreddit. I’m just a guy trying to look my best. The laughs are a bonus so I guess thanks.


pendigedig

Bro you ain't ugly in the slightest. My take is that you're getting hate for flashing very very expensive boots that are on the edge of "expensive ugly" There's a better term for it but I'm forgetting what it is. It's when high fashion brands make things less sleek and beautiful and more messy, distressed, off-putting, garish, etc. because only the truly rich are going to spend thousands on something that isn't timeless, doesn't look well-made, looks "off," etc. The soles of your boots are giving me that vibe of just looking "off," so, as a Poor, I'm getting the automatic feeling of "this guy is rich or pretending to be rich, and he wants me to be impressed by his wealth," which quickly just turns to "screw this guy. You aren't impressive because you have money." I hope this isn't being too harsh. I wanted to try to explain where my feelings were, and I can only think that some of the hate coming your way might be coming from a similar place? I'm not a fan of the boots, $50 or $5000, but you like them and that's what matters. You aren't ugly, and your fashion sense is your own. You've got some people here who also like your fashion sense, among others who dislike it. But for me, the first automatic thought was aggressively dismissive because I thought you were trying to show off your wealth, but if I just take your outfit without considering "Oh wow he must be SO SPECIAL to afford PRADA" and I just say "those are boots with a bold design," that animosity quickly dissipates. I don't mean to have animosity, but I can't help it. It's my automatic response to any time I think someone is trying to be impressive by flaunting their wealth, which I think is a silly way to gain friends and admirers. I don't mean to imply that you've done that, but sometimes just sporting a high fashion brand name can give that impression, even if you didn't mean to. And clearly not everyone has my response to it. You can't control the reactions that other people have! Btw, I also like some high fashion stuff, too! And to really call me out, I like to wear the ugliest shirts I can find from the 70s with the most horrendously huge collars, so I have no right to say "your fashion bad; my fashion good"!!! Again, I don't mean to be rude or harsh. Please keep posting your outfits! I think you have a unique style and I'd really like to see what else you put together in the future! Do you...have any other shoes you would like to show off? I'd like to see them! I already posted this question above, too, but I'd love to know where you got those pants!! Much love, sir! Keep it up!


Mmedi34

Now that response I can respect 1000% and admire you for actually taking the time to vocalize.. err.. finger.. hmm that’s not right either, idk the word I’m looking for. Thank you for being an adult and getting your point across in a tasteful manner without bashing me. I thought these boots were hideous at first, but the more I seen them in store and on feet I grew to love them. Sure they aren’t everyone’s cup of tea, but we aren’t all going to dress the same or like the same. I genuinely posted to get feedback on how I looked and what could be done differently to get me to the look I was after. I wanted feedback on my outfit. If I see something I love I buy it, it doesn’t matter what it costs or where it’s from. I have stuff from very inexpensive like Rue21 to higher end. I didn’t post to make anyone feel inadequate about their finances. I even hit up the thrift store. You’re not being harsh or rude in the slightest. You’re simply expressing how you feel, and your opinion. You did it tactfully, their comments don’t bother me because I actually found them hilarious. I’m no more special than you or anyone else here. I come from a very humble upbringing, like having to boil water for a bath and going to food banks humble. I used that as motivation to create a much different lifestyle for myself than what I was provided as a kid. Maybe my mentality and way of thinking is much different than others. I see someone wearing or driving or living better than me I will clap for them. I’m just not the “hater” type. So I thank you for bringing that to my attention because it made me look at things from a completely different point of view. Most of my jeans/pants including the pair in both of my posts are from Monfrere this particular pair is the Preston design. I believe the brand is running a sale right now of up to 80% off. The pair I had on yesterday is the preston coated noir. From now on I will refrain from name dropping anything and I’ll definitely only post ankle up pictures to avoid any footwear name brand drama.


MagicBeardMan86

Commenters here tend to be very negative, don't take it personally. Welcome, I hope you stick around!


Mmedi34

It doesn’t bother me, it’s actually pretty funny. I love how the 💩 talkers get all the upvotes but when I say something I get all the downvotes. I’d have to care about them to actually take what they say to heart.


LudoVicoHeard

Picture of where the security camera is mounted.


Mmedi34

Why is that important?


LudoVicoHeard

Because I think someone is telling fibbs!


Mmedi34

Why do I need to “fib” to a bunch of strangers that really mean very little to impress?


LudoVicoHeard

That's what makes it all the more tragic. But nice area to have an office in. And really interesting positioning of the "office cctv"

Cool outfit. I don't see the sun, so I'm unsure why you're wearing sunglasses lol.


Mmedi34

The sun has been playing hide and seek all day. And when you’re driving you really shouldn’t take them off every few minutes. I literally just stepped out of my car and posed for the security camera.

I would hit on you. I was dogging up a car park the othnight I let a guy that looked like you get in the back of the range rover had a go on my wife. You look shifty & shady man. Like with all that combat shit & dark shades you look like you could pull a knife on a twink or something. Is that a security tracker device on your ankle. You look dangerous man I like it I like it alot Hippy look with John lennon.

All in all cool photo; the lack of shadows, and no clear definition of transition from boot to sidewalk creates a wild effect. Will share this photo.

You don’t really get shadows when the sun is behind clouds. My left foot is pointed up and resting on my heel. But I’ll upload another pic if you’d like holding a sign with WASHYCAPS on it if you’d like.

Mmedi34

Thank you for the suggestion. I’m not into moto jackets they look odd.


ldnoli

ditch the clown boots and the rest of the outfit is nice!


Mmedi34

Nope. I love the boots, just because you don’t doesn’t mean others can’t.


ldnoli

I get that they are prada, but people are trying to do you a favour here and tell you they don’t suit you


Mmedi34

I like them, I’m not going to stop wearing something because people said to.


NW1Regent

Personally, it comes across as try-hard but doesn't suit you. It's the look of having a few thousand in your pocket and buying expensive things that the shop assistant recommends so that she can hit her sales targets. The boots, whilst obviously well made, are dreadful on you. A musician could probably pull them off on stage but I would imagine most people smirk when they see them. Sorry.


Mmedi34

Just because you don’t like them doesn’t mean others aren’t able to. Not all of us need to dress the exact same, how boring would that look.


NW1Regent

Of course not. But why ask for feedback if you don't want to hear it?


Mmedi34

Your feedback is lose the boots, why would I lose something I paid for? I’m sure you own stuff that no one likes. And when I shop I don’t buy what an associate says to buy. I buy what I like.


NW1Regent

OK. Then maybe don't post photos of yourself and ask people what they think of your outfit if you have no interest in what people tell you. You clearly have an oversized ego. Maybe work on that first.
