Darthphere's House of Style: From Geek to Chic.

[Darthphere]

This is pretty much an offshoot of the Gay Male Prostitutes Saggy Jeans debate. We started discussing skinny jeans and their comfortableness or lack thereof. Ladies and Gentleman are welcome. Don't be shy guys, talking about fashion is like totally the in thing to do these days. So here's a few ice breaker questions to get things rolling:

What's your favorite clothing brand? (Limited to 3 because I know someone will ***** about not being able to choose one.)

When designing an outfit for a night on the town, what do you focus on first? (i.e. shoes, shirt, jacket, jeans/pants)

How would you define your style? Hybrid answers are welcome.

Your favorite article of clothing?

Your least favorite article of clothing?

Your favorite accessory? (This could also include any tech like a cellphone)

One fashion item you wish you could have but can't? State reason why.

I guess I'll answer my own questions first:

What's your favorite clothing brand? (Limited to 3 because I know someone will ***** about not being able to choose one.)

Right now, more than half my clothing is from Marc Ecko's Cut & Sew line. Comfortable, fashionable, looks good, and is affordable.

When designing an outfit for a night on the town, what do you focus on first? (i.e. shoes, shirt, jacket, jeans/pants)

Shoes. If I'm going to rock my pinstripe Nike's, I'm not going to wear a plaid shirt. Pretty much starts with what footwear I'm going to rock.

How would you define your style? Hybrid answers are welcome.

Preppy. I don't tuck in my shirts or anything, but I like polos and button downs and jeans that don't hang off my ass. But I keep it real with some "urban" flare.

Your favorite article of clothing?

My leather jacket from I.N.C. I live in Miami so I only get to wear it like 2 days a year.

Your least favorite article of clothing?

Yellow Tommy Hilfiger polo my parents bought me. Horrible color and makes me look fatter than I already am.

Your favorite accessory? (This could also include any tech like a cellphone)

Burberry ties. I mean, it completes any look I'm going for.

One fashion item you wish you could have but can't? State reason why.

Any shirt that is fitted. I got a gut, so whenever I see a t-shirt that is tight as hell that I like, I feel like putting down my bag of churros.

I'm cheap, Darth. So, I shop at JCPenny. Does that answer your question?

Well the last questions applies to you.

Alright Rog', I'll bight.

What's your favorite clothing brand?
Really can't think of one. I suppose VanHuesan. I have a lot of their shirts.

When designing an outfit for a night on the town, what do you focus on first? (i.e. shoes, shirt, jacket, jeans/pants)
I usually start with pants and go from there. Pants and shoes actually, and belt color. And whether or not I want to wear a tie or jacket.

How would you define your style? Hybrid answers are welcome.
I have a style mixed between Dan Dreiberg and Rich Sommer from Mad Men.

Your favorite article of clothing?
Pants. Nothing beats a nice pair of slacks.

Your least favorite article of clothing?
Undershirts.

Your favorite accessory? (This could also include any tech like a cellphone)
Raincoat when acceptable. Or a nice hat.

One fashion item you wish you could have but can't? State reason why.
I really wish I could pull off thick framed glasses. Makes my head look weird.
Also, I wish I had Robert Redford's hair, but that's not in the cards.

I made a point of wearing bowties often and had some mild success. Now I live in a new city and have to start over.

Edit: Of course, I usually resort to jeans and comic book t-shirt.

Bowties are very in right now, not that you cared or anything.

What's your favorite clothing brand? (Limited to 3 because I know someone will ***** about not being able to choose one.) I'm not very brand-conscious right now, although of course there are plenty I love but can't afford. Shopping on a budget will do that to a girl. So, I'll go with the brands that are most likely to end up in my closet right now: Guess, Express, and "Option 3" which is anything random that I might pick up. I'll often buy an interesting piece based soley on appearance, even if it's cheap, but not wear it often.

When designing an outfit for a night on the town, what do you focus on first? (i.e. shoes, shirt, jacket, jeans/pants) If it's a nicer place, I build around what dress I'm wearing. I pick a shoe and makeup scheme based off of the jewelry I plan on wearing with the dress. If it's not anywhere too dressy, I base my outfit off of whichever cute shirt I plan on wearing. However, I have been known to base my outfit off of what earrings I plan on wearing

How would you define your style? Hybrid answers are welcome. I'm absolutely awful at this question, because I wear a wide variety of clothes. Comfy hip sexy? I can easily switch between enjoying wearing something classy and sexy to a cute t-shirt and jeans. I also enjoy unique clothing...when I was in high school, I'd often spice up my own clothes, and had a few pretty cool tops that I painted myself. Overall, my style is definitely "feminine."

Your favorite article of clothing? anything from the lingerie department

Your least favorite article of clothing? gym shirts

Your favorite accessory? (This could also include any tech like a cellphone) BIG EARRINGS

One fashion item you wish you could have but can't? State reason why. Hats. I love them, but often don't look right in them.

Yay to this thread.

 

[Darthphere]

Gotta agree with you Pickles on that one. I don't wear hats because I feel like a *****e in them, especially if it's like a fedora type.

 

[WompuM]

Yeah, none of us are John Hamm. (sp). My girlfriend did bring m a nice Scottish golfing hat that I wear when it gets colder. Not quite so *****ey.

And no, I wouldn't do that look. Ever. But I have a close friend who does often. He's real into v-necks. He's a guitar player. *****ey, but a fine friend non-the-less.

We'll be talking skinny jeans soon.

 

[WompuM]

Jeans work so rarely for my body type, except with t-shirts and polos.

I would love to where a button-up with jeans, but then what? Tuck it in? I'm not doing that with jeans. I'm not from texas. And if I don't tuck in a button-up, it hangs so low it looks ******ed. Damn this huge belly.

no mames!

So in other words, you have a muffin top?

 

[WompuM]

More like a snowman with legs. Luckily I'm tall enough that I don't appear too wide like some chubby guys. Although, my shoulders are quite broad. Basically, if a Bruce Timm drawing gained 30 pounds, I'd be me.

I only have one shirt like that. It was an Ecko Black Panther shirt that I still wear from 7 years ago.
