So I found a few pictures online of guys wearing suits, and I would like to know what your thoughts are for each person and how they come across to you as. e.g Photo A looks cool or silly because.... Please can you comment below or on facebook. Thank you :)

A - Strong emphasis in being different and "cool". Basically a "homeboy wearing a suit but still want to show he is a homeboy".
ReplyDeleteB - Poorly fitted, which shows he's old fashioned. He prefers to stay in the past, if he wears that. Clean and traditional but damn old.
C - Flashy. Confident. Cocky. Extemely young in nature. Only works in sunny days unfortunately. Looks too "pimp" at night.
D - Standardized. Perfect blend in for a corporate world. Casual mode but ruined greatly by the lack of a belt. He should actually be heading straight home or a belt shop instead of posing for a photo.
Appreciate the comments, although I also feel the A's suit is far too baggy, making him look quite rubbish, even though he's a hip hop artist.
Deletea-ill fit. the color scheme slightly confusing as to what kind of feeling he is going for. Also the white under the blue makes it seem like a cardigan over a one piece rather than a suite ensemble. also wearing it open makes it a little worse although i do like the drape of the jacket. white collar shirt under off-white vest...meh~ shoes fitting and pointed, does not match the style of the rest of the ensemble, again questionable color choice.
ReplyDeleteb-boxy! and double breasted. conservative. two pockets on one side and the kerchief in the pocket. very traditional business. could be more flattering with a bit of a waist and shoes that betray his secret inner child looking for a boast.
c-standard yuppie. nice muted color on outside with solid splash of blue underneath. belt is a little sophomoric... could use a little humility, although a skinny tie instead of the traditional would have been a nice switch up. no socks, and ankle length slacks very hip/clean look. nice shoes, look comfortable but classy. ensemble over all says "i'm trying pretty hard and I think i'm a shark"...but give it a couple years and he could actually be legit. kercheif nice texture and sheen, subtle.
d-european casanova. skinnyskinnyskinny. no tie, not buttoned, white solid color~this guy's very comfortable with himself. again tapered slacks to ankles, no socks. no lace shoes, lookin for some fun. cuffs hangin out. overall a more 'feminine' masculine look. sharp casual. colors standard, nothing to write home about.
Wow! Appreciate the comments :)
