Sneaking in another Japanese fashion portrait that is mainly casual-clothes but somehow chic in the right way.

And Kiritani Kenta is handsome. Which is what I’m sure we’re all really here for, anyhow.

Legitimately one of my top favorite preppy-clothes models, Leo has the swagger and the good looks. Also, kids’ suit-based clothes are less fussy, more about the colors and less about wild ensembles The argyle socks are the dash of awesome to a pretty classic grouping here. Also, now I know one of the very few (to me) legitimate uses of loafers for this century: children’s dress shoes.

The post on this I found on DramaBeans some of the commenters were decrying the sandals. Maybe it’s just that after a year they feel less weird? I’ve certainly adjusted more to the Roman-style sandals girls are wearing, and these are not odd as those.

I’m also just so ready for lighter clothes, even while the weather here dips between totally temperate and close to freezing all over again…

I’m ready to forgive his cropped white pants, if he just pairs them with sandals rather than loafers or something even more dressy.

theimpossiblecool: Redford. I’m sorry. Sometimes there just IS a call for a little cowboy in here. Like the modest hat—if you’re going full-on regalia as far as vintage layers go, a rakish rather than overblown hat is my preference. That is a handsome vest, too, come to look at it a bit closer…

I’d say that’s pretty much the only deployment of sock-free loafers I have ever approved of. And it’s because the whole packet is so right. Also because they are two handsome devils. But look at that righthand get-up! Would you pair thin green stripes with plaid slacks? No, you wouldn’t. And you would never know that a solid vest would bring it from the brink of pattern hell to pattern paradise. He’s even got a multi-colored plaid tie on there. It looks amazing. Now go look at the article this is from: Street Etiquette - The Waistcoat

Be sure and look at all the smaller images fullsize—not my original post, so I can’t change that they’re so small.

But what a handsome line-up of suits, and on such a distinguished man. I adore the slightly frosted stubble showing in that top image—makes the hard-boiled image even truer.

suitablyattired: bowtiebutch: Jennifer Tilly Oh, how lovely is the pinstriped bolero version of a suit-jacket, with those sassy little garters? A high-waisted skirt or slacks to match up with the sideways noir look of this—a pin-up lady in a gent’s hat, so you know she’s a leading female, not the chick in the sidecar.

FIERCE and yet not fierce at all, so dandy-dapper. Those brown leather shoes steal the scene for me, but what isn’t perfect about these gents? The overblown boutinniers—the horn-rim shades—the slim canes. This was a Jazz Age lawn party. Completely wonderful.

I wonder if he knew the big coat and stripey bow-tie made him look juvenile, and was using that for his advantage? You never know with these sly young gents… mydaguerreotypeboyfriend: John Hay in his twenties, while serving Abraham Lincoln as his personal secretary, (played by Joseph Cross in the movie). He later became Secretary of State under Teddy Roosevelt. Described by a colleague as “quite young, and looks younger than he is; of a fresh and almost boyish complexion; quite a favorite among the ladies, and with a gift for epigram and repartee.”

I’ll be honest with you.

The actual narrative of this music video seemed a downer—I haven’t watched the whole thing.

But this is the SHINee Adventures in Steampunk wonder picture show, so…I have to post it. Hats! Top Hats! Really, these pretty-baby k-pop boys should deploy them more often, there’s a reason that shojo manga like to throw them in at any opportunity.

They make cute faces pop…

forrealblackout1995 is my official 400th follower! So exciting to know so many people are actually, like, seeing these posts sometimes. Thank you so much! And hey, don’t be shy about requesting certain people or types of fashion or sending me links to photos you think are awesome, my ask is open. :) (And who else is LOVING SHINee’s latest promotions and the whimsical steampunk-variant suit costumes?)

I was like, “ooh hot one asianmeninsuits” and then I was like, “wait, who is this? REALLY?” Because Yonghwa can sometimes pull off the chilly look, but it’s not really his operative style. Slightly sinister and smoldering? I~nteresting transformation there. The eye-makeup is great to draw that out, in counterpoint with the old fashioned uniform look. Lovely, really.

Gene Kelly on the streets, 1955. Here’s a classic photo of a classic for you. Gene Kelly is slightly sportier (unsurprising in an athlete, which he was, don’t you deny it) and so the dancing-appropriate loose fit of the suit here. No Cary Grant, for whom tailoring was half his characterization. He’s Gene no matter what he’s wearing, and it may as well be comfy to dance in. I’m half-sure that’s what all those ridiculous golfing outfits were about in Singing in the Rain. He looked good in them, though—another hint he’s a sporty-not-chic type.

I love how this fella has his look and is sticking with it—but you can dress it up any way you like and it looks dynamic. I’m only 95.99% sure this is Tiger JK, but he’s so signature I tagged it so anyway. The hat has a vintage look to the blockier dimensions, and mottled felt. It contrasts with his hair being pulled back and his scraggly beard just right. (Sorry for the space since my last post! It was a weird weekend, and time just got away from me. Should be back on track for the next while!)
