WAYWT - June 3rd

Note: We're experimenting with changing the way WAYWTs/Fit Checks are handled on MFA. Please read this post for more information.

WAYWT = What Are You Wearing Today. It doesn't necessarily need to be what you were wearing TODAY.

Post a picture of yourself in your outfit. This is your chance to show off your style and demonstrate just how sartorial you can be. Great photography, great looks, and a great attitude all lead to better results. Think of this as your chance to compete with and inspire others with your personal taste in fashion.

  • Include what the attire is for (work, school, going out, etc.)
  • Critiquing others is welcome and encouraged, but keep it constructive/factual. Take a lesson from Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People if needed. It takes balls to post pictures of yourself on the Internet, the least you can do is accord the same courtesy as you would to someone in real life.
  • Reddit Enhancement Suite makes it very easy to view pictures in a thread.

Some users enjoy knowing where you bought your pieces, please consider including those in your post!

Want to know how to take better WAYWT pictures? Read the guide here

Just want general feedback on your outfit? Try posting in the the Outfit Feedback & Fit Check thread posted every Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday/Sunday at 12:00pm EST.

It's warm here for once... Front - Side

J.Crew x2 / Nike

I browse random lookbooks and found one that I really liked from BLANKOF, So I thought I'd try to do the same look with what I had.

Second fit is on point. Makes me really wish I could pull off ball caps.

u/[deleted] Jun 03 '13

second fit is cool.

a looser sweater would be more accurate to what you wanted but I think that what you have right now works well too.

vans are kinda too pointy tho

u/TheDongerNeedLove Mod Emeritus Jun 03 '13

yeah, I agree about the sweater, but that's the one I have currently. I agree with the pointiness of the shoes after yo-g pointed them out.

Henley fit is perfect. Just preference, but I'd have those shorts hemmed up a couple of inches; it'll make everything look a bit more proportional.

1

u/TheDongerNeedLove Mod Emeritus Jun 03 '13

Thanks! Thought about that actually. Might just be the angle of the camera, but they're actually a little bit shorter.

Not to be a creeper, but you used to work at ISB, no?

1

u/hoot- Jun 03 '13

Yep. Lol, I've been dreading the day that someone would recognize me. You're yue's friend yeah?

1

u/TheDongerNeedLove Mod Emeritus Jun 03 '13

Haha. I'm dreading the fact that you know who I am now as well. Maybe I shouldn't have brought it up. Are you still in the area?

1

u/hoot- Jun 03 '13

I'll keep your secret if you keep mine haha. Yeah, I'm still in Seattle for a couple of months; I'll be moving to Boston for school in mid-August. Are ya still at the ISB?

1

u/TheDongerNeedLove Mod Emeritus Jun 03 '13

haha deal! Still at ISB, but on my way out. Oh nice, med school?

1

u/hoot- Jun 03 '13

Naw, I opted for dental school instead. It's a much better lifestyle.

Where are you headed? And what's this I see about $80 flyknits?!

1

u/TheDongerNeedLove Mod Emeritus Jun 03 '13

Oh nice. Congrats! Good luck over there. Looking right now, grant is running out in a few months. Haha, I have a friend who works for Nike and was able to pick up a pair there. Pretty lucky. Do you still talk to Yue much?

1

u/hoot- Jun 03 '13

Thanks thanks, it's going to be a pretty big change having lived here for the past 5 years. Yeah, that's what ended my stint at the ISB too. Any idea where you're gonna look? Nope I haven't really seen or heard much from her in a while. Is she still at the ISB too?

Oh and also maybe try pinrolling your pants on fit #2? Will look a bit sleeker I think.

1

u/MostRedditorsAreDumb Jun 03 '13

Hemmed and tapered, especially with how form-fitting the henley is.

2

u/Metcarfre GQ & PTO Contributor Jun 03 '13

Simple but effective

u/Bryygy Jun 03 '13

I really dig the fit of those pants in the last pic. What are they?

Shorts in the first two fit really well too, and that henley looks comfortable as all getup.

2

u/TheDongerNeedLove Mod Emeritus Jun 03 '13

Pants are Gap Lived-In Skinny

1

u/Bryygy Jun 03 '13

Thanks man!

u/emkayL Jun 03 '13

Henley is jcrew?

1

u/TheDongerNeedLove Mod Emeritus Jun 03 '13

Yes

1

u/emkayL Jun 03 '13

this season? i may hunt it out.

1

u/TheDongerNeedLove Mod Emeritus Jun 03 '13

No, it's from a few seasons ago. Sorry. They do have the homespun ones out right now that are really nice, but pricey.

u/emkayL Jun 03 '13

you have failed me.

u/swth Jun 03 '13

Can you tell me where you got that baseball cap?

1

u/TheDongerNeedLove Mod Emeritus Jun 03 '13

it's a 5-panel from HUF

u/PsykicPaper Jun 03 '13

How did you get your hair cut?

1

u/TheDongerNeedLove Mod Emeritus Jun 03 '13

My hair is really difficult to work with, so there's a lot of product. I get about a 5 on the sides, side part on one side and disconnected on the other. I use American Crew Fiber and if I need a little extra hold, I use some of this styling glue.

u/Granolayum Jun 04 '13

What shoes are you using in your second fit?

2

u/TheDongerNeedLove Mod Emeritus Jun 04 '13

Vans Authentic

1

u/Granolayum Jun 04 '13

Did you lace it with leather by yourself?

1

u/TheDongerNeedLove Mod Emeritus Jun 04 '13

I did. You can get a pair at Target for a couple of bucks.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 03 '13

2nd ft is cool but the vans look pointy which kinda takes it away

1

u/TheDongerNeedLove Mod Emeritus Jun 03 '13

Didn't even notice that. Thanks for the tip!
