kenji kaga looks so good it's honestly unfair

[derek guy @dieworkwear]

lots of replies to this seem to be "i don't want to get nice clothes dirty" or "i want to be comfy," but lots of stylish outfits look good dirty (pics 1, 2, 3) and many are supremely comfy (pic 4). again, you do you, but dressing well doesn't have to mean dressing up

I wrote something for Mr. Porter about how to dress if you're a larger guy, and I talked to three of my favorite dudes: Ethan (IG ethandesu), David (IG bigfits1), and Tony (IG toneloki). All three big guys who dress with tremendous style. 🧵

For the last few years, at the start of every season, I've been publishing posts about things I'm excited to wear. Here's my list for fall/ winter, which hopefully contains a thing or two that inspires something in your wardrobe.

many suit outfits would be improved if people simply stopped wearing shoes that dragged the viewer's eye downward

[derek guy @dieworkwear]

Everyone is dunking on this look, but a few small changes could make it a lot better. Some suggestions:

1. Shirt: Instead of a black cotton button-up, which can make you look like a waiter, try a more casual fabric. So, instead of a smooth twill, try needlecord or rayon. And instead of a basic spread collar shirt, try a snap-button Western.

2. Pants: Instead of generic black pants in a slim, low-rise cut, try something a little more directional. Wrangler Wranchers have a 1970s bootcut. If you're feeling spendy, Husbands Paris has a similar cut but in a higher-end wool (the Wranglers are pure polyester). And next spring. Bryceland's in Tokyo and London is coming out with a bootcut in various fabrics, including a very Johnny Cash-y black sateen.

3. Jacket: Most outfits benefit from having some kind of finishing layer, which often means a jacket. Try a denim or suede trucker jacket. I personally like ones that are inspired by Lee's 101J, where the flapped pockets slant upwards towards the shoulder joints. This differs from the more standard Levis Type III (although, those are good too).

You can see how very small changes in the fabric (needlecord vs plain cotton), styling (Westernwear instead of generic club clothes), and the addition of a jacket totally change the look.

a high waist will:

1. elongate the leg line
2. feel more comfortable
3. flatter the build
4. if you wear suit jackets or sport coats, hide the shirting below the jacket's buttoning point, which would otherwise break up the jacket and pant silhouette

might be a bad color for pants

[derek guy @dieworkwear]

a better way to wear a cream jacket would be to pair it with mid-brown or navy trousers (not black). also don't wear black dress shirts, and especially black dress shirts with a light colored tie. and don't match your tie to your pocket square.

j press has some nice made-in-usa tweeds this season.

[derek guy @dieworkwear]

No one really wears pocket squares or ties anymore. But for those who do, here are some suggestions.

The reason why you don't want the square and tie to be made from the same fabric is because you'll look like you bought them in a boxed set at one of those stores that sell cheap prom clothes (pic 1). Instead, you want things to complement each other but not exactly match. There are two ways of doing this:

1. Choose a square that picks up a primary or second color in the tie (pic 2). Here, the bit of brown in the square picks up the brown base of the tie, just as the bit of red in the other square picks up the red base of the tie. The idea is to echo but not match.

2. Alternatively, you can use complementary colors (pic 3). Look at the color wheel—colors that are opposite or adjacent to each other are complementary. So here, blue and brown complement each other (they are opposite of each other on the wheel). Just as green and blue complement (they are adjacent to each other on the wheel). The combinations here are pleasing because the colors complement but don't match.

3. Lastly, when in doubt, you will never go wrong with a neatly folded white linen square (pic 4). Get one with hand-rolled edges so it doesn't look like a table napkin.

The idea is to look good without looking like you tried too hard. It's to suggest that you naturally look like this without fussing over things, even if you did, in fact, fuss. This gives the appearance of natural talent, suggesting that you could look better if you tried. When things look too studied, it gives up the game. This is one of the reasons why squares and ties should not match exactly.

This is also the reason why you shouldn't fold squares into weird origami shapes. White linen squares can be neatly folded and inserted, but most other things should be stuffed. Just don't have it exploding out of your pocket like some crazy firework.

i love lines that don't reinvent themselves every season. like, you buy one coat, and it's part of their permanent collection, so next year, you don't feel a need to buy a new one.

[derek guy @dieworkwear]

Some things I saw recently that I think are cool:

1. Bryceland's tweed Balmacaan (same coat available soon in different fabrics)

2. De Bonne Facture grandad coat (coming this season)

3. Mackintosh field jacket (just sold on eBay for $304)

4. 1970s Patek 3579 at Keystone

I think I've figured it out. I think I know why so many politicians have collar gaps on the debate stage. Here is some relatively nerdy tailoring info. 🧵
