again, i feel like guys who have no interest in clothes don't understand that women commonly dress for other women. if you see a woman dressing in a very revealing way, they are prob doing it for their female friends.
if you work 40 hrs/ week, you should be able to own a 1 bedroom apartment that's within a five minute walking distance to two good grocery stores, a bar or cafe, and a mexican restaurant that's not just some fast food chain
i honestly dont know how rich ppl end up committing crimes. if i had even $500K, i would live so peacefully, mind my own business, wear my little outfits, and just feed birds.
heard the craziest story last night at a party. buddy of mine found this $8k couch in an abandoned building, took it home, & found it's haunted. the ghost of a Victorian child would rise off it every night at 3am and stare at him, blankly. he threw the couch on a sidewalk last wk
if you're a young person, ask a middle-aged man what music they listened to in the 90s. let them talk for 30 mins. act interested and say "oh wow no way that's so cool." after that you can ask them for any favor
King of Spain at the final day of Wimbledon. This looks great.
Very rare to see this level of tailoring nowadays, even on the wealthy. So let's talk about some of the reasons why it's great. 🧵
crazy to be burning a pride flag while wearing suction fit jeans that are only considered acceptable today because men challenged gender norms 20 years ago
Man claims “wokeness” in Target’s boys section is “destroying masculinity” after discovering various shirts with rainbows including one with a cloud hula hooping a rainbow and a tropical themed shark shirt.
These things still exist. In London, there are over 50 gentlemen's clubs. There's over that number across the United States. But "return to the past" trad accounts don't know about them because they are not part of the socio-economic class that's allowed into these clubs
THE oldest home on the market in America right now is this Plympton MA, also known as “The Stephen Bryant house” which was built in 1669 (!!)
Currently listed for only $800,000

Could you imagine having a 'George Washington watch' today? It would be worth a fortune no matter the quality.
100 years or more from now that watch will be worth a fortune. He's an American president.
And the only ppl that will buy it are those that can afford it.

i joined IG for the first time last year and didn't know how it worked. followed a random woman and "liked" her IG story every time it featured her cat. didn't know this sent a "heart" into her DMs. after a year she was like "do we know each other??" was so embarrassed
A lot of people have a hard time separating body type from style. This outfit would not look good on anyone. He needs a jacket; the sweater would look better if it was textured; blue chinos are hard to wear. This same outfit would look bad on a skinny or athletic person. 🧵
I disagree that you dress like Cary Grant. In this thread, I will list some of the ways in which your dress differs and why such important details matter. 🧵
ok. it's easier to buy a gun in this country than high rise trousers with a slightly wider leg that's not too baggy so they look classic and modern at the same time
Racegoers fight each other as they scuffle on the second day of the Grand National Festival horse race meeting at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool, north-west England (2024)

Kids never get it wrong. And even when they style clothes in a slightly off way, it only looks more awesome. But here is a guide on how adults can match patterns. 🧵
i've said this before, but i feel like there's a bell curve for optimal home size, and past a certain point, it feels like you're living in a commercial space (e.g., malls, shopping courts, resorts, etc). doesn't feel cozy or private.
Some of you are so lacking in self-awareness you don't realize how you look to normal people. Mocking someone with ALS—someone who has been a champion for people suffering from this cruel disease—makes you and your side look like assholes to anyone who's not terminally online
@JoeyMannarinoUS
not sure what her daughter has to do with anything. she seems nice, normal, and even stylish. whereas it looks like you applied broguing to your shoes with toothpaste
today, on father's day, i'm thinking about how my dad escaped three wars and worked as a janitor only to see his bloodline die out bc his son discovered menswear forums and spent the next 20 years arguing about pants
twitter is crazy bc you can be a nobody who lives alone with a cat telling a billionaire who ran for president that they have big ass shoes and millions of ppl will see that comment and thousands will cheer
this guy used to follow me and i blocked him bc he posted racist things and wore ugly shoes. seeing that he got arrested bc of these shoes is so hilarious.
where do you guys eat if you hate indian, mexican, ethopian, vietnamese, chinese, and other cuisines? i know you're not going to the french laundry every day. so is it just red lobster??
They’re so many comments on this TikTok berating the price this artist has set for these hand beaded bags. She is charging $990 and has stated they take 15-17 hours to construct
This list is terrible. When people say that men should never wear a particular item of clothing, their view is often shaped by fear and prejudice. It's also often an issue of them not knowing how to style something. I will run through some examples on this list. 🧵
Here are 40 things a man should never wear:
1. Flips flops unless you’re near a pool or beach.
2. Flamboyant pocket squares. All it says is you pay $1,200 a month for a car you can’t afford.
3. Statement socks. They don’t give you personality or style.
4. Cargo shorts.
5.
used to be that you'd go to a party and get stuck into a convo with someone like this and think "wow this person is really dumb, i need to find an excuse to get out of this convo" but now all these people follow each other on twitter and have built mini-kingdoms
The submarine thing is suspicious. It seems very far fetched that a bunch of billionaires would take such a risky trip to check out the titanic ruins. I mean surely they have more pressing things to do as billionaires... And now they've disappeared. Sounds like an escape plan.
it's so funny to me that elon thinks we're going to do banking on here. imagine going to the bank and a guy makes fun of your outfit while three people call you slurs
all my tweets are about wearing nice little outfits
— fair wages to buy nice outfits
— housing to store those outfits
— free healthcare so you can wear outfits
— dealing with climate change so you can wear cool jackets
— walkable cities so people can admire your outfits
the older i get, the more i realize that the most luxurious thing is being able to live in a walkable city. wearing a nice little outfit and walking 15 mins to buy just enough groceries for a single dinner will make you feel like Mrs. Dalloway going to the market
The year is 2034. Supreme Leader Harris has instituted communism and appointed me Outfit Czar. You hear a knock at the door. The government has come to confiscate your dress sneakers.
Alain Delon passed away tonight and I'm again reminded that we're losing a generation of men who possessed an incredible sense of style. But what made Delon's style so extraordinary? Let's explore. 🧵
it's weird that AI art is almost indistinguishable from what a human would produce and yet everything i've seen so far has the aesthetic value of one of those paintings where a dolphin is jumping with a moon in the background
i'll never get over how skinny jeans have become so normalized, they're now worn by conservatives lamenting the decline of traditional masculinity.
you don't even have to go as far back as the early 2000s to see how this used to be taboo for men
Aside from the fact that this guy sells online courses on how to get rich, I will explain why it's obvious from his clothes that he's not an aristocrat but rather a middle-class striver. 🧵
I did not once mention Barron and yet everyone instinctively assumed I was referring to him.
Us, Aristocrats, have always stood in the center, undefeated.
You can make your little jokes, but you cannot un-peasant yourself.
stop thinking you need a relationship to be happy. sometimes all you need is affordable housing in a walkable neighborhood where you can wear nice little outfits and get food
@ElijahSchaffer
this comment only makes sense if that was a ratio, and that's not a ratio.
observe.
your shirt should not be so tight that people can see your nipples
all i want is an affordable home in a walkable neighborhood where you can wear a nice little outfit and go get a churro and cup of fruit from street vendors
my impression is that men with a bad sense of aesthetics don't understand that many women don't style themselves to attract men, so your opinion is irrelevant
i saw a therapist last yr bc i kept feeling like everyone hates me, and my therapist kept saying, "just bc you feel something doesn't mean it's a fact," and about a year later, NBC has a headline story that says "everyone hates this guy"
it's actually very reasonable to not want to commute for three hours per day and we should figure out a way to organize cities so that fewer people have to do that
Omg, poor baby has her first job. Like..she has to commute?? Like...she has to cook dinner?? Like...no time or energy to work out?? Like..she's working in person not remote??? Like...She. Has. To. Work. 9. To. 5 ??? What????🙄
when i was on a menswear forum, a n00b claimed his shoes were handwelted, so an older forum member bought a pair of the shoes for $400, ripped them apart, and proved they were not handwelted, thus triggering a series of events that brought down a shoe factory in italy
we're in this weird moment were gender norms are being challenged, but also becoming more constricting. many men wore things in the past that would cause great panic today. John Wayne in tiny shorts in Acapulco (1959); Stallone in crop tops in the film Rocky. Both masculine icons
