derek guy@dieworkwearNaturally, I disagree. In this thread, I will explain two things. First, why these outfits looks terrible to most people. Second, why it's you, not me, who lacks taste. 🧵
SummaryThis thread explains classic men's tailoring rules, particularly why tan shoes often look bad: they're too light and draw the eye downward, breaking the rule that focus should be on the face via the V-shaped torso area. The author argues that traditional taste derives from ruling-class aesthetics, and those wanting to wear tan should match cool color temperatures and lighter suits.Aug 6, 202618 tweets♥ 6.2Kderek guy@dieworkwearDisagree with some of the reactions to this tweet. Will offer what I think is a better framework for understanding when you should cuff your jeans. 🧵
SummaryA thread explaining the history of cuffed jeans, distinguishing between practical reasons (fabric shrinkage before sanforization in the 1970s) and aesthetic ones (cultural capital and style preference in communities like Japan). The author proposes thinking of cuffing as a stylistic choice aligned with modern vs. traditional aesthetics, like sans-serif vs. serif fonts, rather than following arbitrary fashion trends.Jul 30, 202612 tweets♥ 5.7K

SummaryThe thread argues that divorced men have more remarriage prospects than divorced women because men have the power to choose younger or never-married partners, while women may be desired for sex but face reduced marriage prospects due to societal preference for never-married spouses.Aug 12, 20264 tweets♥ 3.7K
