Is that a sleeveless sweater that hipsters like wearing with twee patterns all over them?

 

[Me76]

I have spent the first hour of my working week ordering these:

 

[such and such]

Haven't bought them yet but these will be mine, oh yes

Just replaced my favourite watch ever with exactly the same thing

Just replaced my favourite watch ever with exactly the same thing <snip>

If it fills your heart with joy, why not?

 

[moose]

Exactly. I've sported this one till all the print's all worn off, but I'm not prepared to say goodbye just yet.

Are they Black Milk? I've been looking at these

among other stuff as I got some vouchers for my birthday. Can't make up my mind what to get

I'd like the above in a catsuit or bodysuit but wonder how often it'd get worn

 

[moose]

Every time you fancy being an urban mermaid? Which is surely every day

 

[zenie]

Yeh or I might get something a bit more sensible like this

Nope, not Black Milk. A Queensland based company that sells the mermaid in a multitude of colours (like pink and silver etc) for cheaper than BK as well

Disco pants!

Oh I love galaxy leggings too. Don't have any though. My thighs are not yet ready for those kind of shenanigans.

My thighs are not insubstantial as it were but sometimes it doesn't matter when it come to being a mermaid. I'll just be a chubby mermaid instead

1960s (i think) bluebell jacket

 

[Orang Utan]

Yup. You'd call that a sports jacket. At our school the male staff wear collar and tie with suit-style trouses but only have to put on their jackets for formal occasions (assembly, meeting parents etc). They therefore keep one jacket in school which often doesn't exactly match. a sports jacket is just a tailored suit-style jacket with lapels and suit-style pockets, but which isn't designed to be worn with matching trousers. It's like a blazer, but blazers generally have a patch pocket on the breast and sides, and associations of uniform.

Oh fashion guru, please advise. What kind of trousers should go with a sports jacket? Is it really called that? It's not very sporty. Or is sports as in hunting?
And would I be right in thinking a plain one-colour tie would be best with a jacket and v-neck?

 

[killer b]

What kind of trousers should go with a sports jacket?

chinos

 

[Orang Utan]

chinos

Fuck off! Owt else? I don't want to wear boring old black trousers

 

[stuff_it]

Spending accident... whole lot including postage was about £50 though so now it's just a matter of waiting for the postman...

what's wrong with chinos? You can get them in allsorts of colours these days you know. Even red.

Cords are a traditional accompaniment to a sports jacket.

 

[Orang Utan]

Cords with a corduroy jacket though?
Chinos seem well square. It's what the dweeby students wore when I was at Uni

 

[zoooo]

Dweeby is cool.

 

[spanglechick]

chinos have unfortunate connotations. but basically you want any men's trousers which can have a crease ironed into them and which don't have jeans styling (rivets on pocket corners, patch pockets on rear). Dockers are a brand name I used to buy for my ex, but m&s, topman, tkmaxx etc will have loads. With a sandy brown jacket i'd go for chocolate brown or navy blue, rather than black. By the sounds of your workplace i'd avoid cords, not least because many have jeans styling.

on trousers - look for smart tailoring and not 'school trousers' which are kind of bouffy at the top of the thigh. Don't put too much in your front pockets either. it's not a good look.

 

[killer b]

Chinos are well hip atm, times change.

 

[Orang Utan]

Cheers spangles. Navy or brown trousers ftw
I need to put multiple sets of keys, wallet and phone in my pockets though.

 

[Orang Utan]

And what does bouffy mean?

 

[killer b]

get a bag.

I have both navy and brown chinos btw.

 

[Orang Utan]

I have a bag, but i can't carry it around with me as it's a rucksack

 

[killer b]

a satchel. It'll go nicely with your cord jacket & chinos.

 

[Orang Utan]

It's those creamy beige chinos that I think off. <vom>
