What are you wearing today??

[thedanu]

It's strange how vintage inspired clothing sometimes seems to suit metal music very well. The contrast between you and your friend is more or less how I look next to my brother .

Yes, I guess especially the psychobilly style, since they seems to have that "50's with a darker twist" look

Even the more "refined" conservative vintage styles (fedora, suit, tie and proper shoes) seem to feel suit the metal scene somehow, at least I've never felt out of place dressed that way at metal gigs.

that's actually true, I've been getting lot of possitive feedback in the metal bars in helsinki (I do quite like metal music myself, and most of my friends hang around in the metal places)

I want to use one of these pictures for Esquire's best dressed man competition (though I probably won't win because I'm not wearing skinny chinos which are rolled up to reveal a few inches of ankle). I think I'll go for the second picture.

You should definitely try though! The outfit looks really neat

I can see where that argument comes from, but a DB summer suit will still be cooler than a SB heavy weight wool suit. Plus it looks good - Jack Nicholson's 3pc DB linen suit in the beginning of Chinatown looks amazing even if it is the most illogical suit ever.

I like the second photo better too. You're not looking at the camera; it's a more professional pose.

Cherries all the way!

Wearing the hat, you remind me of a letter opener my mother used to keep in the kitchen "utility" drawer. Of course it would be interesting to know who made the letter opener (does it ring a bell with anyone?)

The letter opener you speak of was a Fuller Brush letter opener. I remember one lying around my grandparents' house when I was a kid.

I also particularly like the second picture. You should definitely enter that competition!

30's dress that I bought in a flea market a couple of weeks ago, I really love the shape
Sorry for the messy face and hair, it's been scorching hot in Finland for the last few weeks and trying to do any kind of makeup is completely out of question :-D

you don't need make up.

the 30s are my favourite era both for men's and women's fashion. the dress looks great on you.

Some very stylish ladies and gentlemen here!

Today, I'm wearing my new safari shirt and khakis. I planned on going hiking as well, in which case I'll probably be bringing along my Akubra Fed IV to protect from the hot sun.

Been out on the eastern shore of Nova Scotia here for two weeks on a freelab. Putting that vintage and repro workwear to work.

We dug the rocks, cut the trees, dug the clay and sand, etc. and built this, along with a couple other projects.

A nice setup, Good. I think it all comes together very nicely. It looks nice and casual and comfortable and stylish at the same time.

Great workwear, and an even greater structure!

thank you very much!

I have to say that I'm starting to like the 30s more and more, I'm next planning to make a couple of 30s inspired skirts. I need more clothes like that! :-D

I guess who is the influence here and I support it ;-)

the 20s had a low and almost invisible waist on dresses. the 40s dresses and womens suits have too much shoulder padding for my taste. so the 30s have the perfect feminine silhouette
