How to dress this way without feeling like a larp?

I did not go to college let alone an ivy league.

>>15193656
As someone who dresses like pic related every day, I just can't get into this trad style. I can get behind prep, but full trad is just too much. Everything looks too stuffy and thick, too much going on. Don't you get hot?

>https://www.instagram.com/parisian_gentleman/
My nigga. Hugo is my god

>>15194105
You can't. We're all larping here. It's just fun to dress up.
No one under the age of 60 dresses this way, everyone that sees you will think you're strange, and you'll be uncomfortable the entire time you do it. But we're larpers and we enjoy it.

>>15194105
Without dressing fully in /tip/ items. For example, switch chinos for jeans sometimes, or loafers for simple sneakers.

>>15194105
A super common/casual look is a polo/OCBD, chinos/khakis, and mocs/loafers. Don’t know whyd you feel larp in that unless everyone around you wears potato sacks for clothes

>>15194111
>don’t you get hot
Again, for the last time. Get this through your fn pea sized brain, you fuck. You. No one here wears that shit in the summer. It’s seasonal.

>>15194105
As long as you live around this kind of scenery it won't be larpy

If you are living somewhere where everyone in your town is wearing tapout then you could get away with just wearing an oxford shirt, smart chinos and brown boots

>>15194094
Thanks bro

>>15194024
He looks like a fucking pimp

>>15194105
>How to dress this way without feeling like a larp?
Start small.
>Don't wear sweatpants everyday
Opt for nice jeans or chinos. Soon after ditch the hoodies for sweaters, even if it's a cotton crewneck it's a start.
>you've kicked the hoody/sweats addiction everyone has
it's summer so instead of t shirts, start wearing tops with a collar as a start. a polo shouldn't be uncomfortable or feel like a larp, it's incredibly casual yet still better than a t shirt. eventually shift to button up short & long sleeves in your rotation.
>you're basically 50% there
time to ditch the sneakers & running shoes. start small with some boat shoes or ranger mocs. you'll probably find loafers stuffy even though they're also a casual shoe. eventually you'll be comfy in leather shoes and can start to branch out.

congrats now you are not feeling super uncomfortable and haven't made a drastic shift in your wardrobe that your day to day chums will pickup on immediately like you're trying to larp/become something.
just think of the whole process as dressing more like an adult and dressing smart casual.

What does TIP think about these? (They seem too long and pointy imo)

>>15194307
They look nice, but you’re right. Too pointy for my taste. Is the welt good?

>>15194334
idk they're on ssense, just wondering

>>15194105
Then you should be dressing in workwear you class traitor. Just kidding, being tippy comes from the heart

>>15193656
Do you guys like this jacket? I think it’s cool but idk how to incorporate it yet. Opinions wanted

>>15194530
I don't like it, I like that jacket but with a plain colour (navy or sand)

>>15194307
Nice

>>15194530
>Do you guys like this jacket?
I could never see myself wearing this outside of vacationing and beach town stuff.
Even at that point it's still super loud, the "fun shirt" under a navy/tan version of it would be better as it's the same print basically. With a shirt you can also cover parts of it, more versatile to wear with your swim trunks, etc. The jacket is just a jacket and going to always be loud.

Thoughts on Buddy Shirtmakers' OCBD? My old white polo one is too big and frankly fairly ugly.

>>15193999
>>15194002
No, it was a real fit. At least I had the balls to post it. Post yours if you're gonna talk shit. :-)

>>15194111
Go back to the sleazecore thread retard

I'll just leave this here.

>>15194881
>black patent leather shoes with khakis

>>15194881
Ill fitting pants and shirt, also the shoes are unapropiate for that outfit. Cringe/10

>>15194843
>p-p-p-ost fit!

>>15194985

>>15194664
I had typed Budd, but my phone is an asshole for only wanting me to be happy.

my hair is turning gray bros I am 27 why is this allowed

Trad/Ivy/Prep + Millitary Surplus = Neofolk

According to media, JCrew might be preparing to file for bankrupcy:

>>15194983
>unapropiate
He spells words with such passion...
>>15194915
It’s called having taste, style and practicality. Enjoy larping, with your boring brown matte weejuns, that you can’t easily wipe clean with a cloth. Patent leather gets you the pussy. Oh, and try not to seethe so hard it’s unbecoming

>>15195089
It's kind of sad but true.
>>15195061
At least you're Norwood one right?

>>15194530
If I ever owned that. I’d wear it just like the model. I like fun shirts, but I wouldn’t buy that jacket.

>>15194843
>at least I had the bawz
The pants fit still look like shit. Old farts with dementia wear pants like that

>>15195143
That’s what they get for not being /TIP/ enough
> It’s called having taste, style and practicality. Enjoy larping, with your boring brown matte weejuns, that you can’t easily wipe clean with a cloth. Patent leather gets you the pussy. Oh, and try not to seethe so hard it’s unbecoming
I agree with the other, anon. Looks bad. You look like a public highschool teacher lol. Get rid of those fugly steve madden shoes

>>15195149
>>15195357
That was directed towards to (You)

>>15194550
So you’re saying I should just get a fun shirt, I don’t own one yet. What brand is good? Also pic rel is the summer jacket I just bought.

>>15194881
You look like you would be the fuckup pledge who bought the wrong shoes and made everyone have to do planks for an hour.

>>15194530
I think it looks swaggy brah

>>15194161
It's summer weather right now. Post fit

>find a decent looking, non effete leather tote
>it has the manufacturers logo stamped on a piece of leather bolted prominently to the bag

>>15195338
I see a lot of seething, but no fits. Hmm. Could it be that you're a complete fucking pussy who talks tough on the internet because he knows he can't do it IRL?

>>15195502
since no one's willing to post fits, here's mine. i was going for relaxed fall prep

God, how do I get into a good college. All I want to do is give my parents a reason to be proud of me

>>15195535
>God, how do I get into a good college. All I want to do is give my parents a reason to be proud of me
get A's. depending on your high school, this can be easy or hard. at mine, it was extremely easy due to grade inflation. fucked up my class ranking though. i had a 3.85 GPA, and I wasn't even in the top 100 students.
study hard for SAT and ACT. those tests arent actually hard. and 90% of high school students dont prepare at all. so if you study even a little bit, you end up in that top 90th percentile. if you study a lot, you can get an absurdly high score.
do some sort of activities in college. yearbook or volleyball or something. you dont have to be good at it. its just good to show interests.
you can do it anon. all you need is motivation.
i did the first two, but neglected to show any interests. i got into a selective state school, dropped out, and am now attending another state school that is less selective. still regionally respected, but its no Harvard

>>15195524
I would suggest khakis instead of cargos, with straight instead of tapered legs. Maybe tuck the shirt in. And the shoes dont seem to fit with the rest, perhaps some bean boots or blucher mocs would be a better choice.

>>15195557
The fact that you think this is real really shows how shit this thread has gotten

>>15195634
Just trying to lead by example with politeness. If even shoddy fits are met with polite, constructive criticism, rather than butthurt shitflinging, the quality of this thread will improve.

>>15195502
>you dislike my fit
>seeth seeth seeth
>>15195524
A western cowboy shirt, skinny fit cargo pants, and McDonald’s steal toe non slip shoes
>>15195634
Lol

>>15194881
Pull those pants up, nigger. Why are you sagging?

>>15195698
It's not that you dislike my fit, it's that you react with screaming, animalistic nigger rage, instead of behaving like a human being and offering polite criticism. If you have nothing nice or constructive to say, then say nothing. I'm ending this argument here, because nothing good will come out of continuing it. I hope you grow up someday.

>>15195727
All I said was that you look like shit. You’re really sensitive

>>15195535
If your parents are like that there's no pleasing them. I had some friends like this. Dude got into Yale law and his dad was disappointed that he didn't do med school.

>>15195524
I'll post a fit as well

I feel like straight leg chino are too baggy but tapered looks too tight.

>>15195766
Sick denim suit

>People treat you the same way you treat them

>>15195969
Yes.
>>15195982
Wa waa waaa

>>15196021
Nice hair, anon
10/10

>>15195754
no, the problem is that they're too supportive. Every day they talk about how no matter what I do or where I go in life, they'll be proud of me, but I want to give them something real to love me for. I want to give them a reason
>>15195547
thanks anon. I just feel alone. it's good to hear that people can still succed

>>15196024
Lol cry harder fag

>>15196099
>lol
Looks like you’re crying

>>15196021
not bad but if part of tip is no logos I'd lose the lame phone case, tho some people might emphasize the logo bit differently, I prefer none of it.

>>15194881
Perfection

>>15196266
Lol k buddy

>>15196347
I’ve had trouble with leather cases before. The eagles 2018 super bowl win was one of the only things that made me happy when I was depressed (the other thing was going to church). Also I joined the football team late in high school after that and the exercise involved made me very happy about my self. I have an eagles tie clip and eagles scarf which I wear with my tweed jacket (both gain a lot of normie compliments). But yeah when I do dress without influence from any type classic style (rarely) it would probably be to a sporting event (and I usually try to keep trad there too). Also school logo sweaters and stuff that is in the right situation can be tippy, like wearing an orange sweater if you go to Syracuse.

>>15196347
But yeah the phone case is not /tip/ but I like it nonetheless. Once this case wears down if you guys have any recommendations for cases that are classy but won’t get beat to shit please tell.

>>15193807
>"My illness helped me to see that what was missing in society is what was missing in me: a little heart, a lot of brotherhood. The '80s were about acquiring — acquiring wealth, power, prestige. I know. I acquired more wealth, power, and prestige than most. But you can acquire all you want and still feel empty. What power wouldn't I trade for a little more time with my family? What price wouldn't I pay for an evening with friends? It took a deadly illness to put me eye to eye with that truth, but it is a truth that the country, caught up in its ruthless ambitions and moral decay, can learn on my dime. I don't know who will lead us through the '90s, but they must be made to speak to this spiritual vacuum at the heart of American society, this tumor of the soul....I was wrong to follow the meanness of Conservatism. I should have been trying to help people instead of taking advantage of them. I don't hate anyone anymore. For the first time in my life I don't hate somebody. I have nothing but good feelings toward people. I've found Jesus Christ – It's that simple. He's made a difference. "

Has anyone else begun incorporating certain words/terms/phrases into their vocabulary in order to help the trad images?

It doesn't need to be overly convoluted.

Good heavens = oh my god
Most certainly = yes
Indeed= yes
Remarkable= good
Intriguing (a general affirmation)

etc etc

Start off small but it can make a tremendous difference with regards to how you carry yourself.

Posture also.

>>15196522
Oh yes most assuredly anon! Words are powerful indeed.

It's Italian trad or bust for me. I need my shit to fit, not drown me

It’s a phone case. Who cares. If you really want to go above and beyond there’s places like carved. What I did a while back was get a transparent case for my iPhone(which was rose gold). It looked really nice and simple.

This is the biggest aspiring middle class giveaway that exists. I come from an old land owners family and seen many times people like you suddenly changing their vocabulary to what they perceive more refined around us. Contrary to what lower classes like to think we prefer to keep our language simple and lighthearted. For example if someone died we'd never say 'my condolences' but rather 'it's a bummer'. Using the word 'pardon' is another dead giveaway etc. You probably sound posh to lower class people but you'll never impress anyone from the general upper class populace this way. At worst they'll think of you as a larping chin. As someone else said at this age you can't really change your vocabulary and the way you carry yourself to don't exude contradictory signals. People are better at perceiving integrity than you think.

>>15196908
Kek, Americans BTFOd. Based posh cunt.

>>15196908
I'm English and I've never heard anyone use the word 'bummer' in my life. I just find it hilariously insecure to boast about being from 'an old landowning family' on an Egyptian hieroglyphics board, and hilariously plebeian to unironically use terms like posh or lower class

>>15196976
>>15196908
Not to deny that >>15196522 is deepest cringe, but bear in mind no-one gives a fuck about your cutlery

>>15196522

Budd are deeply underrated, no experience with their Oxfords though

Drakes are a safe bet on OCBDs though

Just copped a navy cotton jacket w/ patch pockets (not gold buttons) for summer, anyone have any inspo? General summer inspo as well?

>>15197029
>being homo isn't /tip/

Never going to make it

Social distancing

>>15197035
Thanks man. God forbid someone offer an actual opinion on clothing in this thread. The larp wars are just getting sad at this point. I know Budd's reputation is impeccable for shirting, but I also hadn't heard anything about their ocbd. Another issue is that these are royal oxford. I would really prefer regular oxford but they're currently cheap. Drake's is new to the shirting game, but I'm not at all surprised they're good at it. What aren't they good at? Aren't they taking a stab at suiting now too?

>>15197063
I wish that were higher res so I could identify things, but it looks like my Sako 85 (although mine's the stainless synthetic model).

>>15197180
Looking at the Budd shirt, I imagine it's more the type of button-down that is intended to be paired with a suit and tie (i.e. essentially a dress shirt made from Oxford cloth with a button down collar), rather than the more 'casual' unlined collar OCBDs which most people seem to like. The Drake's one is much more the latter - so I'd say it depends on how you'll wear it which would determine what to get.

And yeah, Drakes is really killing it at the moment

>>15196522
This is a great way to immediately show that you're a poser to people who actually come from the background you aspire to

>>15197300
Realised* sorry for phone posting

>>15196908
Also this is precisely the attitude you’d get from them towards you. Idk why people even bother to larp for higher class if they’d just give you at most a pat on a back for being an obedient well behaved prole and a sarcastic hard to decipher comment. Embrace your social status anons. You don’t have abything to gain from your larping, they’ll never consider you a part of their world no matter how hard you try.

Overall it's pretty solid. People will tell you that your pants rise is too low and that it messes up your proportions. I don't think that's entirely true here. The real crim is that you've cuffed them too high and worn sock. If you cuffed them lower and opted for socks in a different color or even no socks, you'd look great. The shirt/pants/shoes combo definitely works.
You're a brave soul. Thank you for posting.

I agree completely on the Budd shirt and, even though they're on sale, I think I'll pass. I actually just recently bought a Drake's tie. The problem is that now I want two more. Their latest stuff is just great.

This is literally the story of my family. My father is from an (established but still) working class who made it to Penn where he met my mother. He was very preppy and I could post some of his schools' days photos here as inspo. This didn't help him to be treated as an absolute nobody by mothers' family just because she is from this newspaper empire clan from CT that you can trace back to 400 of New York. They always treated my father as a foreign body that is only supposed to help to raise kids of his wife. I still have some early childhood memories of going to grandparents' house and how weirdly my father was treated by everyone. Back then I didn't understand anything and have regrets for stuff I was saying as a kid. Moms' family always used to give me and my sister nicer (i.e. more expensive) Christmas and birthday gifts and seemed more fun. For that reason as a stupid kid I was saying stuff like that I love my grandparents from my moms' side more etc. I cringe when I think about now and can only imagine how hurtful it had to be for my father and my grandparents from his side. At some point when I was around 5 my dad had cut contacts with my moms' family cold turkey, and they started arguing a lot. There was no night without them shouting at each other and I remember as a kid that I wished they just divorced. That's why I think I grew up as this autistic shut in who had to lose his virginity to a hooker at 21 and now works as a code monkey in SF This kind of stuff fucks you up for life. My parents separated when I was in college and I don't have good contact with neither of them now. I only hear sometimes from my mother talking shit about my father who apparently has now a problem with alcohol and lives alone in NY. Only now as an adult I can fully understand of what my father had to go through and I feel sorry for him but don't really know how can I help him. Sorry for the blogpost but the dream of marrying a preppy gf can really turn into a nightmare

Pretty nice, pants look a bit too slim but it's hard to tell in this picture. Good fit overall.

Is there a name for sleek trad wear?
I like some trad stuff but I dislike things such as boat shoes, barbour jackets, penny loafers, pastel shorts and baggy american blazers.

I'm thinking things like Saint Laurent-style Chelsea boots over Chukkas, Isaia and Kiton over Brooks Brothers and J.Press, Massimo Dutti over Banana Republic, Carmina and Meermin over Allen Edmonds and Alden.

How do you get a shirt to be flowy/drapey and look big but also not look shit at the same time?

You might be right but at the same time you give yourself away as an insufferable pseud. The fact that you come from land owning old money, if it’s even true, means nothing as it’s all just varying shades of the same middle class and even saying something like this gives you away.

They don't do work to be there. I know that for a fact because I work with many of those people. They're neither intelligent nor hardworking and they are overwhelmingly people of color from middle-class backgrounds.

Religious anti-slimness is a sign of a larper; they think styles stay frozen in time, specifically the early 60s, instead of changing with trends. The people who grew up with the style they're trying to emulate wear both slim fits and classic fits because they don't autistically think about those sort of things.

Classic drapey fit is not baggy, farmers relaxed fit overalls and jeans are baggy. Wearing two sizes too big like rappers is baggy. Classic cuts are drapey not baggy. They are also meant to be worn AT the hips not below . Straight fit and slim fit are designed with a short rise and are worn below the hips. Autistic neo folk larpers (and Asian Uniqlos) willl wear oversized pants ABOVE the hip like it’s 1930 after the depression and no one can afford well fitting pants

>>15199473
Literally just the Italian style of wearing suits and things.
Americans like this ugly oversized boxy look and the English are very traditional and conservative but Italians love color, they love things to fit well and flatter the body and be sleek. They like things to be unstructured and comfortable, etc.
Check out Italian menswear to get some inspo and see what you like

>>15199780
Double monks are based. Even Macron, the new Napoleon wears them

Traditionally,
American suit = Boxy
British = Fitted but roomy
Italian = close fitting little room

But everyone in modern times wears Italian basically unless you are based or a boomer proper

>>15201000
>>15201009
>American suits
>Boxy
This is a strawman. A GOOD American suit, from, say, J. Press, fits well, but isn't faggy slim fit. Whenever wops talk shit about American suits, they always use shitty suits from like J.C. Penney as an example, while using the finest Italian tailors as examples of Italian suits.

I don't hate this but I'd prefer it with a different shirt

>>15201052
Baggy isn't trad either. Slim and baggy are both trends, classic fit is timeless.

Is tennis a prep hobby?

>>15201009
I think the "default" suit is probably British. Since the average person only wears a suit for business jobs or law jobs, their suits are conservative, plain and boring

>>15201175
Absolutely, one of the preppiest

>>15201203
what about badminton

>>15201195
Well, American suits are similar to British suits, but with some different details, such as a single vent, natural shoulders, an undarted jacket, the 3/2 roll, and unpleated pants.

>>15201215
Honestly, those "rules" are meaningless. People just buy suits in a color they like. The average suit wearer doesn't know or care about notch vs peak lapels, double vs single vents, etc. The average person goes to a store, sees a color they like and gets it, and they may or may not get it altered after.
No one is thinking "hmm, this suit is distinctly British with the padding and cut, I should get it."
Most people wear fused trash anyway

>>15201236
I agree with you, I was just pointing out the details that make (good) American suits distinctive.

>>15201300
I got a MTM suit made for my wedding and was actually overwhelmed by how many options I had. I thought I knew what I wanted as far as color, wool, etc. but they started having me pick out buttons, the color of the lining inside, flap vs jetted pockets, vent style and everything and it was a ton to process.
I don't blame the average shmuck for just getting a color they like and going with it
Full bespoke would be overwhelming as fuck

I want to settle on something, are earth tones ok to wear for someone who is fair skinned (with blue undertones) but dark haired? I'm thinking specially about jackets and shirts. Sorry if the question is too autistic.

>>15201343
What options did you end up going with?

Let us all unite in disdain for the steaming shit that is untuckit. I actually felt my blood pressure rise when I first saw the ads for this.

>>15201573
i can only wear untucked because I am too skinny

>>15201343
Navy wool as it was for my wedding and conservative enough to use for my future business career (going into healthcare administration). Notch lapels, 2 buttons, two side vents, blue buttons as well. The only detail I chose to be fun with was jetted instead of flapped pockets as I hate flap pockets.
Overall a pretty safe and simple suit but the fit is perfect and that's what matters

SLIM >>> everything else

>>15202035
If you are tall and with skinny shoulders, all shirts that wll fit your shoulders will be laughably short on your body and never stay inside your pants when you tuck. U end up having to oversizr the shirt just so it can be tucked and then it doesn't fit your shoulders anymore, and looks baggy. SO I understand the usefulness of a shirt like this, because it at least looks better.

>>15193883
Those poor books fuck this dude

You wear clothing in accordance to your body shape. There is such a thing of it being to slim and to baggy. Scale the room of your clothing properly, and you all wouldn't be having this issue. There is nothing inherently incorrect about Slim or tappered clothing. If you are wearing more baggy clothing, you might be opting in for comfort while doing manual work.

Yea I'm gonna be honest vocabulary, speaking patterns, and mannerisms are mostly derived from your lifestyle. I read a lot of old books so people make fun of me for talking weird because I just unconsciously choose unmodern words because they are just whats floating around. And when I was fifteen fucking years old I knew to say my condolences, and I have said it many times, to even my young friends back then, and no one bats a fucking eye. Its polite, especially if you don't know the deceased, if you went more casual it would seem flippant, and if you were more obseqious it would seem disgenuine and queer.

>>15201034
>A GOOD American suit, from, say, J. Press, fits well, but isn't faggy slim fit
as a resident j press fanboy I can confirm. also please consider that they're going to fit you with what looks best on your body type. the sack suit is not for everyone.

Ignore this faglord. I study the 16th century and spend all of my time writing in academese. He's either a massive brainlet coping with being easily impressionable (like the sort of person who watches a movie and acts like the protagonist for the next 24 hours) or he's an autist deliberately affecting a ridiculous speech pattern because he thinks it will make him more interesting (which I suppose it will in the same way that watching Chris Chan documentaries is interesting). I'm second hand embarrassed reading this post.

>>15202667
>I study the 16th century and spend all of my time writing in academese
Couple posts above we already established that barely anyone goes here to a reasonable university (Oxbridge or Ivies), so why do you even mention that? It really doesn't impress anyone. Your essays in academese (kek) are most likely simpler than my highscool homework used to be.

This sound correct to me. I was born lower middle class, but I'm marrying into serious old money (American) and they definitely don't use fancy language. The biggest thing I've noticed that separates them from my poorer friends is that they are pretty much all accustomed to and pretty good at public speaking. They also are all super well read and travel and absurd amount. The grandkids are literally taking like 8 vacations a year on average.

On one hand I don't think that Preppy/Ivy or even Trad has to be necessary a LARP and I'm a proponent of more spacious fits myself but on the other slim and LARP posters always seem funnier and more charismatic in their posts and on some subconscious level it makes me believe that they're right.

your haircut can play a lot into this.
if you wear glasses that will certainly play a role.
being tall always helps in looking older.
most of the time it just takes time to earn the respect of boomers in the workplace.
if you don't have a family that also isn't helping you. people always respect a family man because he has a lot more on the line.
a single 27 year old could ghost the company and "go on an adventure"
think about all those articles about young people ghosting their job and not even quitting.
somewhere in all their children, nieces and nephews at least one with nothing tying them down at the drop of a hat quit their job and went on a cross country trip.
I've got at least 2 cousins who've done this. they're the family fuck ups but I'm sure it's altered my uncle's perception of young people.
to anyone pissy about taking cross country trips & finding yourself type shit. that's what a gap year is for.
