I’d bang that… is that the question? 🤎🩶

aim4harmony@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 57d

I'm not sure if that's a question, but my answer is: maybe if you're cute. 🤎🩶

Smart looking. What color is the belt, black or brown?

aim4harmony@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 57d (4 replies)

Thanks. It's a plain brown belt.

Never match your belt to your shoes and jacket.

bro about to show us a 4 tone outfit and argue it's superior

SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world · 1 pts · 57d (1 reply)

I’ve just always made sure my belt is a different color from my shoes and jacket I didn’t realize it was so controversial.

tdawg@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 57d

3 tone color setups are the easy cheat code to a decent outfit

Idk about "controversial" but having your leather bits match makes sense to me

Todd Howard would be proud

Looking sharp 😎

Thank you. 😊

Solid, Boring, but there's a place for that, apparently here. Easy to switch up, versatile. Brown shoes with laces are a thing, maybe black Chelseas would go better. Not dissing, you're good, just advice as per the community.

aim4harmony@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 57d

Thanks. While grey isn't an exciting colour, it does something interesting for the top leayers. It allows the top layer to shine while adding a touch of calm and refinement. In this particular look, the warmth of brown leather seems to come through while grey hums at the core.

When I tried it with more jackets in my wardrobe, I was pleasantly surprised by how effective the looks have turned out despite grey being a bring colour.

Love it! Maybe matching the metals of the watch and the belt buckle would be even better imo!

aim4harmony@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 57d

Thanks. The idea is interesting. I have a wider and shorter belt with a metal buckle that's more similar to the watch metal. Not sure whether a half-tuck would work with it, however.

Well done. 👌

Brown + grey = OK Brown + black = OK Brown + blue = OK Grey + blue = OK Black + blue = OK Brown + black + blue = get the hell out of here

aim4harmony@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 57d (2 replies)

Where do you see black here? The trousers? They're charcoal.

unknown@piefed.social · 2 pts · 57d (1 reply)

They look hella navy to me, ngl.

Also black and navy can look fantastic together when done with intention and the right accessories. That rule is dumb.

aim4harmony@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 57d

Thanks for sharing. In reality, they are charcoal / dark grey. Maybe some undertones are at play or just screen effects.

ABCatMom@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 57d (1 reply)

Great outfit! Where did you get the jacket from?

aim4harmony@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 57d

Thanks. It's by Goosecraft, a Dutch brand.

What is squiggly thing coming out of belt buckle?

aim4harmony@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 57d

Good question. It's a sewn yellow loop of sorts. I'm not sure about the purpose either.

unknown@piefed.social · 2 pts · 57d

This but with some nice grey sneakers would look really good.

This is one of my favourite colour combinations too but I think the brown shoes + brown belt + brown jacket make the whole fit a bit too matchy matchy. That's just a personal preference though and not a crit.

Professorozone@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 57d

Is it brown and grey or pink and purple? Check out the lighting.

Bro, you look like a sim, but in a good way.

Very simple and clean, I might steal this one.

aim4harmony@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 57d

Ha, thanks, man. 🫶

abbotsbury@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 57d (1 reply)

Shoes, belt, and jacket match pretty well, that's a solid foundation you can use in many outfits. Good picks.

Only advice is maybe find a darker watchband.

aim4harmony@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 57d

Thanks. More recently, I used the charcoal trousers and brown brogues as a base and rotated only jackets and t-shirts. Tried untucked, half-tucked, and tucked in tee variants while maintaining the same poses for consistency. As a result, I have a foundation for a lookbook with many looks with minimal variety. I may post some more looks from this experiment. What's fascinating about this process is that many new outfits are discovered without a need to buy a single item!

For example, the same grey tee.:

Burgundy

etc.
