Depends on the henley, depends on how it's worn. They're nice if you like having options in terms of a wider or narrower neckline.

yeah, i don't care for aa's either. in fact, i generally dislike henleys and have only like one that I've tried on, which was a billy reid henley. wear it fully buttoned up, though

You gotta have shoulders and dat der v taper for them to look good I find.

Short answer: they're never really /fa/.
Longer answer: You can sometimes make them sort of work but what's the point? They almost never look good tailored and there are so many better options for casual knits.

I think short sleeve hensleys can look good. I even know a few skinny guys who look good in them, and they always look great on ripped guys.

In my experience, they're very flexible. They look great over a t-shirt. Or a v-neck. Or OCDBs. They look great under cardigans and practically any other jacket or coat. I think their the best basic that you can buy next to t-shirts

They're not if you know how to buy shirts in your size.

Personally I love them for layering. I think they suit an open jacket or cardigan or otherwise divided piece of outerwear way better than a generic crew or v neck tee

Short sleeved henleys are the worst, man. For some reason they always look so much more labial at the neckline than the long sleeved shirts.

I've noticed that they have some sizing inconsistencies. The L one I bought from S/S 2013 fits snugly yet the marled L one I bought drapes over me.

>They almost never look good tailored
this is /fa/ summed up in a nut-shell. so focused on wearing obscure as shit that they don't stop to use logic when it comes to fashion
the point of a henley is that you're supposed to fill them out. they don't need tailoring, they're not for skin and bone faggots from /fa/. they're for guys to show off their work in the gym.
people in here are calling them "shit" and saying the gosling fit looks like shit, when in reality girls love a dude in a tight ass henley. even if it was just gosling from the neck down, bitches would still be all over it.
/fa/ has lost it's fucking mind, the point of fashion is to look good. and you faggots try everything in your power to do the opposite. this board needs to be renamed to something more accurate, like /people trying to out weird each other/ because that's all you weirdos do

I beg to differ

I use to try to look my best since that is what I use to think of as fashion, but i moved past that
There is a difference between FASHION and CLOTHES
There is nothing wrong with dressing just to look nice, but dont call people out when thats not what they do

here is a post i stole:

>"twerk how come u know so much about fashion yet your fits still suck shit?"

"Because fashion isn’t just about looking your "best".

In fact dressing just to look good is a very basic understanding of fashion / style / dress, it’s this belief that is the well from which all crappy fashion thoughts spew forth.

"Why spend so much money when you can look better for less?"

"Why wear clothes that distort your body? It’s not flattering."

"Why wear such feminine / masculine clothing?, It’s turning away guys / girls"

Almost every small minded thought regarding fashion comes about because people have this idea permanently etched into their brains that fashion is ONLY about looking good.

2/3

But the reality is that it doesn’t have to be, and I would argue that it’s actually essential to put this thought aside in order to truly grow and develop whether as a designer or simply someone that wants to have their own personal style.

There’s absolutely a time and place for looking your best or “blending in” , but for other times elsewhere why not have fun and experiment? If dressing for others is “science”, then dressing for yourself is “art”. You think twerk, with all his knowledge of fabric and fit, couldn’t dress “well” (as defined by Western preferably North American society)if he wanted to? Of course he could, being able to do that comes from the most rudimentary of fashion knowledge. But why would he want to? Especially because he doesn’t fit within the gender roles and norms as defined by this society. For him to dress “well” as defined by others would be for him to betray his own identity and personality - for him to be completely uncomfortable in his own clothing.

How come no one ever considers this? You see it all the time with celebrities - they’re dressed up for events and everyone says they look stunning, but outside the machine they wear sweat pants and flip flops because that’s who they really are.

It takes an immense amount of bravery and integrity to dress for yourself, especially when most people will think that you look like shit.

>> No.7633157

>>7633153
3/3

It’s not an issue of being unable to dress for others - it’s a conscious decision not to. Speaking personally there’s little to learn if you dress for others. That means taking into consideration everyone else’s aesthetic preferences and putting aside your own. It often means toning it down and avoiding experimentation. Almost every day I try to combine my wardrobe in ways that I have never done before. A lot of times it does look like shit but I learn from it. Not to mention, when it doesn’t look like shit it means I’ve discovered something new about fit or silhouette or proportions or fabrics or color. If I didn’t dress for myself I would never experiment, I would never dare to look bad, and I would never learn.

As a designer my body is a living sketch pad, artists and other creatives should be able to get this. Imagine if you walked around with your rough sketches and plastered on the front of your shirt. That’s what people like twerk are doing. That’s their craft, it’s their medium, and like with any medium you learn from failure. The difference is that clothing has to be worn so the failure is public.

He is young, he’s learning, and failing, and growing. You can laugh now because he’s like that one kid who took gymnastics and looked silly and kept falling on his ass but 10 years later when he’s graceful as fuck and can do standing back flips and gets roles in kung fu movies you’ll all be wishing you joined up with him instead of sitting on the side lines and laughing because you didn’t have the balls to experiment and be shit at something.”
