More cute-as-a-button promos for Big, which I am dearly hoping will be as awesome on all fronts as it seems to be on the clothing-characterizing front.

Dearly hoping. But even if it’s not, I’m stuck watching it anyway. Gong Yoo. Drama. There’s only one of those I haven’t gone for, and I’m just…saving it. Kinda.

I feel bad, because the cute younger actor competing for us, just is handicapped out of the gate. Can’t both Suzy and Lee Min Jung get the Gong Yoo? Though I hadn’t even thought—how hot is second-lead going to be as the doctor-in-a-teen body? Or just funny?

Please be good, drama. Please.

Is this suit flannel? With those dandified shoes, Henney, I think you may be just offbeat enough to merit some extra notice. I think it’s at least brushed, and you know how I feel about things that look good to touch…
In fact, I love this photo. The pose is fairly uncontrived, but he looks natural. In fact, Daniel Henney is a fantastic model. I should just admit this and move on.
Forgive him for being in dramas instead of people I like more.
Love the older bikes, even if they are kind of being used as an insta-hipster prop. They are fun to look at, okay?
The suit is actually a subdued windowpane pattern, though from this range it looks just like a sane, workplace suit.

There’s something special about cufflinked shirts, and in the case of this shirt, the cuffs have an interesting doubling that just makes it more prominent.
This may be hand-fetishist’s point of view, I admit. But cuffs are important.
Simple oxford.
Simply exquisite.
I do love contrast looks—this gentleman’s thick frames and combed hair provide a studied contrast to the prominent ink, and the white shirt frames it all so nicely.

If Lady Gaga’s crossplay gimmick is what brings us a renewed interest in girls in suits—well, bless her.

This is a fun set of photos—kind of trashy elite in style but with all the elements interesting in their own right. And the suit’s kind of Jackson-retro.

All my references are mixed up, but it just looks interesting, right? I like the shoots they’re doing with her as the press machine gears up to the release of Snow White and the Huntsman. It’s working on me!

Okay, got to spread the joy here. (And thanks to my ten newest followers!)

Song Joong-Ki is definitely all about the boyish appeal, which makes his moments of intensity all the more startling on the screen. It also makes the fashion shoot trope of fiddling with an suit, as if slightly unfamiliar with it, look totally natural.

…dear, please be in something I want to watch, again.

Sherlock’s wardrobe in this show has it’s drama. Watson’s irritated mention of the way he turns up his coat collar to look mysterious is great, because he obviously is calculating an effect with his clothes.
But it’s a kind of playful gesture for him. It’s 100% consistent, though.
Barring when he decides life’s not worth dressing for and swathes himself in bedsheets.
I don’t completely understand lighting guys in gothgear so aetherially, but it’s a fun contrast anyway.
My inner Goth usually stays pretty quiet, but strappy leather, and glossy blacks, and big baroque jewelry…it just is so loudly fabulous, I can’t handle it.
Granted, it wouldn’t drape so nicely if it was real leather. But a girl can’t have everything, and by and large, the leather shirts I’ve seen around are not pretty. Which would not match his eyes.

Can we talk about how epic this is.
This video is going to be sick.

I think I have always known TOP was a shinigami, but until that cape I couldn’t quite put my finger on it.
Also, darn you, processed photography, and your lack of focus on the boot detail!

I love the lightness of the larger check, the windowpane pattern on the pants. I think few men could get away with them (you really have to be rail thin to make large square patterns seem a good idea) but they’re very spring-like.

And Ueda has a very tranformative face. He looks part…non-Japanese for me, but I can’t put a finger on it.

I love the way they dress up the shoot with the jackets, and yet the only color is focused to the sneakers.

It’s splashy advertising, and also plays up the youth/spring look without having to spell it out.

Those padded shoulders on Lee Min Ho. Precious, and yet I also would like a closer look at what they’ve done with the pattern…

Can I get an awww here?
What’s funny is it’s not a particularly cute expression, it’s just a cute picture.
I think that plaid would be ugly, but in grayscale, it’s totally great. A little dated, in it’s scale. But still great. (Like many of *my* Goodwill shirts.)
I’m pretty pleased to see simple argyles, and this sneakers, fitted-khaki, sweater combo is nice and clean, classic.
On Taeyang it takes an interesting hip-hop dress-up aspect, but he looks pretty good!
This a wee bit Steampunk, ye think?I am all for the glorious return of nonironic patterned knits for men, alongside hats (how puckish is this cap?) and velocipedes.
