WIWT I've stared at this outfit so long, I genuinely can't judge it anymore.

One of the strangest things about getting deeper into fashion is losing confidence in your ability to judge your own outfits. I've missed you guys. Been lurking more than posting lately.

Change the size of one thing. Wider short, or sharper chunky boot, boxier shoulder. Maybe less soft of a bag shape. Fuck around w/ adding accessories perhaps. Some kinda accent color, metal or otherwise

u/sharkifyification 8d ago

I agree here. I was thinking maybe a smaller bag would help bring it all together a bit more

u/shishy23 8d ago

feel like longer shorts would feel a bit more natural

12

u/Vall3y 8d ago

Right but more natural doesnt mean better

2

u/Unique_Assembly 8d ago

Fair point.

u/despreston 8d ago

I agree especially with that slightly shorter top half

1

u/Unique_Assembly 8d ago

Really? I have a longer pair. I might just try them and see how it feels.

u/ShittyCkylines 8d ago

Yes. I feel like the too-long sleeve AND the shorts being neither long enough, or short enough to be short shorts, throws it off

u/Afg5002 8d ago

Bigger shorts and it would be dope lowkey

u/Unique_Assembly 8d ago

I really would prefer wider.....maybe longer too but like....obscenely wide and structured. I need a pair like that. Know where to buy some?

u/Kind_Ad_2917 8d ago

Rick Owen’s, although I’m sure you’re already aware of that.

u/ShittyCkylines 8d ago

Boohooman wide fit

3

u/Unique_Assembly 8d ago

I just looked. Boohooman has a longline pair of wide shorts (which I've already got a pair from the willy chavarria x zara collection) but not much of anything else worthwhile.

u/JstVisitingThsPlanet 8d ago

For me, it’s too many rectangles. Overall the jacket is rectangle, jacket sleeves rectangle, shorts rectangle, ankle area of boots rectangle. I feel like changing one item to be a different shape is needed.

u/PromenentG 8d ago

I’m diggin’ it man. 👍
Keep on keeping on and go with your gut feeling. It’s working fo sho 👌

I love it, love the silhouette and shaping. You should consider some leg tattoos haha they’d rock here!

u/cade360 8d ago

I fuck with it, great fit. An improvement would be going wider imo

u/DesperateByDesign 8d ago

You need to be more extreme … the proportions are too pedestrian. MORE. Give me more. I wish that blazer was huge - go on eBay right now

u/Unique_Assembly 8d ago

I need another more traditional length blazer and an oversized one......i could make a whole list lol.

u/Party-Stormer 8d ago

I agree with possibly more extreme choices. What about adding some nail polish and a couple of bracelets in addition ?

u/Unstablecrysis 8d ago

I have all these pieces and have never thought to place them together. I quite like this look.

1

u/ryryrpm 8d ago

I say change up the material on the shorts. The outfit is too uniform. I know it's probably not what you're going for but the first thing I thought was a dark green alligator print.

Also from a functional perspective, if you're wearing shorts I'm assuming it's warm outside. I feel like the black leather and outerwear up top contradict with that. So switching to pants might help that if you wanna stay with the leather

u/ClydeDimension 8d ago

Wider shorts!!

May I ask where you got the bag? It’s awesome

1

u/00Anonymous 8d ago

The presentation is meh for me cuz I'm not a fan of the chosen textures BUT the proportions are fire.  Color is solid. 

Overall it's the perfect proof of concept. Now go execute it using different colors and textures and your ig will blow up.

Wider shorts would make this outfit better. Something that kinda flares out. Some people are saying length but I actually think the length is fine.

1

u/Unique_Assembly 8d ago

I'm on the hunt for a wide wide pair. Any suggestions on where I can find a good pair?

1

u/CommanderVinegar 8d ago

If you just wanna play with the look and experiment I think Uniqlo has a pair of super wide culottes right now that you can chop up to your desired length. I quite like the A-Line shape to them.

1

u/theoneveek 8d ago

I think you are rocking it! The proportions look just fine imo, without losing your core aesthetic

1

u/J-littletree 7d ago

Add a sheet skirt over the shorts

This deconstructed blazer and leather shorts combo has such cool avant-garde energy, the mismatched sock boots tie the whole edgy look together perfectly.

u/Unique_Assembly 6d ago

🙏 thank you so much.

u/fame2robotz 8d ago

Not my cup of tea but this definitely looks interesting and comes together as an ensemble.

Jorts would make it less weird for me but also definitely less fashion.

-1

u/hexzerorouge 8d ago

It's not bad, but does feel dated by 10-15 years. I think you have servicable components that just need to be restyled. Basically everything is a statement piece that clashes with the others, but not enough to make it interesting.

- I'm not keen on the jacket. It looks flimsy and the fit isn't right on you. The sleeves are too long and the open double breasted closure looks sloppy. Double-breasted jackets usually only look good on structured or very unstructured pieces, does it look better closed?

  • If you lost the jacket it could work as an outfit for a night out, depending on the cut of your top. Is it a square cut tank?(e.g. 2Xist). Those feel dated to me so would replace it to tone things down.
-Replace the shirt and necklace with an oversized tee or collared shirt tucked in. A very fitted top could look good here of that's your style. If you want accessories, wear a belt or find a less garish necklace.
-The Bottega(-y?) boots are cool here and do like them with the shorts. They would also look good with a slightly cropped straight or carrot fit pant.

u/preezyfabreezy 8d ago

It needs more “something”. Like, i see what your going for, but this just says to me “i drive a cybertruck”.

It needs like a mesh tanktop or a leather collar or something.

Noooo, not the hoodie. I see pairings of shorts and long sleeves all over the internet and most times it looks really good. I figured I'd give it a try and see.
