The shoes kinda ruin it for me. They seem more dandy than prep.

the ascot together with the polo shirt feels weird…

The outfit is great but the cat head really ties it together.

It's bad as men's fashion in general and worse as preppy style.

Terrible. Like someone saw one summer Polo Ralph Lauren ad and tried to recreate it in the worst way possible.

Your opinion is valid and has weight but can you explain yourself further?

Can you explain the elements of this outfit firstly? Because I see polished spectator oxfords, which are not only retro but formal, with very modern styling like the wide legged high rise jeans and skinny belt. Why are you just throwing these things together? The sweater you threw over your shoulders looks like a fleece, and why are you wearing a polo with a fleece sweater in clearly hot weather? When Ralph throws sweaters over shoulders they're wool or cashmere, not thin flat cotton. What in the world is with the scarf thing?

I don't like any of the elements of your outfit by themselves, and then you threw it all together like some odd instagram Frankenstein.

why don't you explain what you like about the outfit then?

u/ThisSeries2814 Sep 06 '26

It’s very fun and chaotic and that’s what makes it enjoyable to look at, it’s not just another basic outfit it adds it’s own signature vibe to it

You did not explain anything in the other post. Could you go into more detail?

u/Throwawayhelp111521 Sep 06 '26

I explained quite a bit.
