Something with acollar is fine

Nice jacket, meh t-shirt, rest is fine.

Jacket looks too big, imo. Shoulders kinda draping. Jeans really tight but thay's a personal thing. Need a sluttier shirt.
Thanks for posting though! Haven't had fits in a while!

Here's a question for everyone.
Does anyone know of a clothing article that is just a hood e.g. like the hood from a hoodie or jacket? What I'm looking for is a hood that comes down and ends at the neck or upper shoulders, and is designed to be worn with a regular shirt (rests over the top) or jacket without hood (tucks in at the neck).
Does such a clothing article exist? Does it have a name? Has anyone ever seen something like this?

Closest thing I can think of is one of those wool hats with the ear flaps like such As for how good it looks, I'll let you decide.
Alternatively they sell t-shirts/longsleeves with hoods already on them but I don't know where I've seen them.

Yeah... definitely looking for something more minimalist and stylish haha, not so utilitarian. Something like the hood on a shirt like you're talking about, except I'm looking for just the hood so that I can mix and match. I really like hoods! But I don't want to only wear clothes with hoods already attached.

Beanie and scarf superior

Just saw that and instantly-wanted it, being tall and skinny. Anything like that but less...bank breaking?

I got mine in like new condition for $125 shipping in. Honestly the best investment I have made in my wardrobe so far. They are show stoppers, and theyll last you ages.

I hope you earned those beads

Let's spark some discussion in here.
I've been having a lot of trouble recently with the aesthetic I want to have for myself. I haven't bought anything since Thanksgiving because of this - it's useless to keep buying if they won't fit what you want. Well, I don't know what I want. I've experimented a lot - preppy, cleaner clothing, streetwear type things, but I've never completely committed in any one outfit. Now I don't know how I want to mold my look, and I can't add to my closet until I have an idea. Although, I have been cutting out a lot of things in my closet regardless. Especially because of the many many online sources on different things - runway/high/designer fashion, SF's "look," classical menswear blogs, streetwear blogs, even sufu a bit, I have no idea where I want to go because I enjoy it all.

I think it's incredibly important to dress for the occasion; ideally you'd dress a step above everyone else, but not overdo it so you look completely alien and tryhard. A tailored cucinelli suit is great, but walk into a uni class wearing it and you'd look totally out of place.
Knowing the right balance when you combine articles of clothing from different styles is, to me, most important. For example, wearing a raf duffle over some traditional menswear, or pairing an engineered garment print with some julius trousers and aldens accomplishes a well-tuned outfit that incorporates clothing from two styles that are wildly different but work well in tandem if you understand the effect you're going for. Rocking some geobaskets with slacks and a shirt is, unfortunately, not accomplishing the aforementioned.
my opinion is simply to mix and match for the occasion, and browse/lurk more to understand or draw inspiration for whatever silhouette or style you're aiming for. if it means anything, superraw and watsoncrick are my favorite waywt posters on sufu.

Juliette, I had a similar issue. I literally just spent like 2 months digging through inspiration albums because I couldnt connect what I wanted in my mind, to individual pieces of clothing. I sort of tried to see how things would work together in these albums, and then started with the basics, and then eventually added the more niche/colourful/interesting pieces (ie: pink pants pictured above ) at the end.
Definitely take time and figure out what you want, otherwise youll waste money on stuff youll never wear when you do put it all together.

Its helping me a lot to plan out exactly what I want to buy for the year. So far on the list, I'm considering a new suit (~$400 or so, navy because I have charcoal one already), but that's not a necessity. I'll probably end up buying alpha khakis for the summer, and a new beanie and heattech socks when it gets cold again. This whole budgeting thing helps.
I agree with dressing for the occasion. There's only so much I can do as a student lol. I especially have to watch what I wear on thursdays, because I have lab and the risk of acids spilling on my things... No thanks. I mean you're pretty much right Andy lol. I remember reading "lurk more" when I was like 13 and just found the internet. I've been given maybe 2 pieces of advice greater than that in my life.
Thanks for the recs. I need to open sufu more.
Focus, I already wasted a lot of money lol. Not an ungodly amount but I def wasn't being very smart. :p. growing pains
