I am going to bring capes back.

I am going to bring capes back.

I think bringing capes back should be fairly easy. Trench coats and long coats have made a bit of a comeback already from their school shooter association, provided you wear it with a sufficiently "classy" look. I don't see why these things couldn't just get longer and have more emphasis on the flowing back of the coat until you're basically wearing a cape attached to a jacket. 

It's also objectively kino as hell to walk around a windy port town in winter with a huge coat or cape blowing behind you. Protects you from approaches from the rear too.

And while I'm on the topic of "cringe" clothes making a comeback, I hope nice hats can make a comeback eventually. Winter outfits without a nice hat feel sorely lacking to me, but your choices seem limited to a fedora (retarded) or a flat cap, which makes you look like you just got done having a normal one at the barcade

[BillyONare]

wear a fedora; theyre not cringe anymore

[Golden Birch Groyper]

@BillyONare maybe so. Probably all in the quality of the hat. 

I am also compelled by the early 20th century "business casual" look as summer wear. Sturdy enough to sweat and do a bit of work in, good looking in its own way, and reasonably comfortable.
Clothes to attend a lynching to. 

I think a slightly modified "modern version" with nice jeans or Rhodesia-style short shorts and some quality boots (work boots or something dressier) is a decent look for day to day goings. The suspenders are questionable though.

Is there any outfit with which to wear a tweed overcoat/trenchcoat without looking like an "intellectual" pipe smoking "catholic philosopher" faggot? Tired of inviting normals' attempts at conversation.

Not really, that's the association that those clothes have now because these types are the only ones wearing it. Personally I don't mind the association, but you could try to stave it off by wearing unconventional things under it, like raglan long sleeves instead of dress shirts, or leaning into an edgelord haircut.

My hairstyle doesn't signal "tradcath self-styled intellectual," but it's not particularly edgelordy, nor would that be desirable for actually finding and interacting with women. I was considering simply changing the pants and footwear. Maybe cargo joggers and boots? It seems very asynchronous though, and looks too hipsterish. But wearing non-matching trousers and attractive shoes seems to shout "halfnigger crypto poster" or "shitskin arab scam money." I think the tweed overcoats have to go back in the closet to gather dust.

Don't give up yet. We can swing this into dark academia with some thought. Make it our own thing. Darker Academia.

Just pin an Iron Cross or something on the lapel, T777 style (but subtler). It'll probably get you scowls but it's better than some normgroid trying to compliment your "Dark Academia Aesthetic™"

No. You can only ever look like an 'Old Tory Right' / 'College Republican' larping as landed gentry, or Richard Spencer basically doing the same thing. This is one Type of Guy that makes an effort to wear tweed (and that wants you to know that he's wearing tweed):



He knows a thing or two about music, yeah, but he's cunty about it (fake aristo; lacks noblesse oblige and is incapable of extending basic principles of charity) and that Xeet in general is just gay. He also really hopes that you notice his Trinity tie (he is Smart). The only reason to wear any sort of tweed jacket would be to satirise this Type Of Guy and cause him to stop; have on camouflage Carhartt hoodie underneath, baggy Lululemon joggers, Salomon XT6 trainers. Maybe an original Make America Great Again hat. Something like that. If you care about interacting with women I'd bet that more would come up and talk to you if you were wearing something along the lines of what I describe than in the Fake Aristo style pictured above.

Anyway, I say just wear a dark navy or black overcoat if you're going to. Quarter zip sweater underneath it, fully zipped up.

I can't see any room to disagree, but the post about T777 poses an interesting counterfactual. It might be possible to avoid those interactions I mentioned if I found a way to appear, at a glance, to be on heroin.

I've tried to take the best picture I have saved for an example of modern formalwear, and he looks alright, but there's a clear facile element to the latter's clothing. That facile element is even stronger when it comes to people deliberately attempting to recycle tradfag aesthetics, look at the Fuentes clique if you want examples for this. 20th century formalwear is out of place, and feels aesthetically weak, because it's not a genuine expression of the self, and is instead some sort of appeal to tradition. It's not entirely impossible to "pull off" tweed/overcoats/20th century core, but it's always going to be the case that the intentionality of the fit makes it worse. 

I agree with your overall point, but I don't think the problems with his outfit stem primarily from that jacket or imitating 20th century formalwear, rather from the fact that his outfit has so many (relatively) extreme and incongruent elements. A poor sense of fashion composition. Mixing that extremely patterned tie with an already patterned jacket, while wearing 90s mom jeans and purple socks just results in a mess.

(As a side note, deliberately posing for a selfie like that is always going to make an outfit look more stupid than a natural, relaxed candid image would.)

Replacing the 90s jeans with well-fit tan khakis or jeans, wearing normal white or black socks, and choosing a less ostentatious or at least unicolor tie would probably make the outfit look good, and it wouldn't seem like he was trying too hard to make an outfit that "stands out." To make an outfit unique and genuine you need to do so with intelligence, not just throw random patterns and colors together.

Sorry if this was orthogonal to the topic at hand or I restated the point you were already getting at, I just saw that image and felt the need to sperg about those fashion decisions.

[Another guest]

Yes, I think I should have chosen a better image. Maybe I’ll edit when I have the time. If you look solely at the top, which is fairly well done (I disagree with the idea that the chaotic matching of tie and suit is bad, it works fairly well in this case), you’ll still see the point I’m trying to make: it’s essentially facile.

Would you quit using the word facile. Facile is a word that doesn’t apply to aesthetics. Find another word.

Boots always go well with anything - if you can't wear something with Chelsea boots, don't wear it, especially if going for this stuff. Joggers, hell no.

This is real fashion.

The Diesel collaboration with DMC was very cool.





Diesel had a shop in PS Home.



Video game luxury is an interesting topic. It's mostly just Kojima designing cool stuff and having luxury brands make it real.







Kojima likes things. He likes specific things. He is committed to making the cool, detailed things from his games into cool, detailed real things. He doesn't make cynical shit. 
Here's some other video game luxury:

You will see Gigachad iterations wearing this exact outfit on X within one week, and then shortly thereafter on iFunny (wherein Gigachad will be speaking Brazilian Portuguese).
