> Thinking about the excessive and repetitive use of the name “Henri” in this episode, almost to an oppressive degree. Mimicking the oppressive nature of said character over the main character in the narrative. Almost like how it was all about him up until the point where it… wasn’t.

> Thinking about a lightweight, wool button-up coat, all black that is so unassuming, so without frill or feature that no one thought to create it. vs. But this allows too much freedom to carry too much material. The pockets sag under the strain and our coats begin to look sag and frumpy. Luca’s [black] coat is crisp and neat.

> Learning is scary! REAL SHIT cosigned and REALLY FUN THING TO SAY AND EMPHASIZE after a whole arc about explaining things away.

> Being so daring and free with assigning the word vampire to someone vs. years down the line that same person being unable to call himself human. That he nourishes his soul back to what was once banished……

>The horror of one partner proceeding as always when somewhere, along the way, the other decided they no longer want to read their part of the script. I really enjoyed that they threw in that Henri was confused and hurt, then angry. Luca’s resigned upset at the horror in realizing no action or choice is every really his own as long as Henri is there. In a dynamic like this, nothing, no experience, no person, no memory, is entirely yours.

>’Rationalization after all is one of mans most clever inventions’ < sorry this just feels so fresh after the uowii arc. It also just, fucks, supremely

>It was a story about vampires, but it was a story about being trapped in a narrative thats easier to endure in fear of whats left when stripped away. Who are you without the thing thats been feeding on you for so long? Its so easy and comfortable to fall into patterns and routine, even if they don’t serve us. At some point, it’s like we are serving them.

>I love when characters don’t finish their drinks. I love it it love it i love it. Let things remain. I love it. Also I love a highball so I’m biased I guess.

>The bit about Luca no longer answering the door once he learned no one was coming to see him, that it was because the children feared him? That shit hurted.

>I also ofc loved that it was Cecil all those years ago (whose to say how many) glad he had an unnerving gay icon serving cunt in a shitty relationship to look up to as a youth (partially joking)

Do you find that the simplest problems require the biggest efforts? Have you ever decided you wanted a lightweight, wool button-up coat, all black? Did you go shopping for it? And did you find one? How disappointed were you to learn that this design was not available in any of the five stores you went to? Did you ponder the idea that such a coat was so basic, so unassuming, so without frill or feature that no one had ever thought to create it? Do you want to know what’s in the drawer below the table? Shouldn’t it be as easy to obtain as a lightweight, wool button up coat, all black? But nothing easy ever is, is it? How do you get to a table that’s right in front of you, but only visible in a mirror? [...] Wouldn’t you think that the mirror being simultaneously broken and unbroken is strange, while the fact that you have no reflection is scary? Is that true though? Do you have a reflection? Do you see yourself? On the floor of the mirror’s world? Is your body crumpled on the floor like a wet towel? Is your lower jaw hanging open because you died screaming, or because of gravity?

(Episode 171 - Go to the Mirror?)

A figure, walking, no, lurching toward me. It’s emaciated and barely on its feet. And now it is here and it falls into my arms. The figure is wearing a long black coat, and a low black hat, and it is me. I have walked out of the Narrow Place and fallen into my own arms. [...] Every block that we passed, there seemed to be less of me, the me in the black coat. I couldn’t quite say how, because it still looked exactly like me. But every step diminished me, and the coat hung looser and looser about my shoulders. [...] Think about looking in the mirror and seeing your face, but the nose is gone. [...] And this other me nodded, his partial face showing profound relief. He leaned back into his chair, and kept leaning, and leaning, and leaning, until there was nothing left of him except his black coat, which smelled of cinder and sickly sweet candy.

(Episode 209 - The Black Coat)

The lightweight wool button-up coat, all black in episode 171 is the table, it's the inability to complete such a seemingly simple task. The table is only on the other side of the mirror.

In episode 209, the black coat is only on the other Cecil, it's only on the opposite side of the mirror. And just like in episode 171, Cecil watches that other Cecil die.

I can't word it, just take the quotes.

Status of various clothing repair and alteration projects:

Sweater gusset project: 90% complete and fully wearable. Not marked fully complete because I may at some point go back over the line demarcating the original cuffs with black stitches to make it look intentional, and may at some point swap out the buttons for prettier ones. I may also line the neck with a softer woven fabric, as it can be scratchy on my skin if I’m not wearing a high-necked shirt underneath

Pullover to cardigan conversion: complete! I’m very satisfied with it and have gotten compliments on it already. I personally think that the cut lines are slightly stretched out and wavy and would do things a little differently next time, but they’re quite secured and stabilized now (sewn, rolled into a hem and sewn, then a grosgrain ribbon was sewn on). This really fits my style, and I like the three clasps at the bust that make it fit more like an empire-waisted garment than a normal button-up cardigan.

Funky-neckline dress bodice to bolero conversion: functionally completed but I’m not satisfied yet. I think I want to re-sew the bottom hook and eye (again!) so it pulls less. Also, that will necessitate re-sewing the button for visual balance (it was supposed to be functional but that was a pain and I gave up) Ugh, this just was not constructed in a way to fit me but it is pretty enough that I want to salvage it. I may rip out the princess seaming and do a bust reduction; alternatively, I might just get some cups and batting at the sewing store and pad it out so that it doesn’t cave in.

Faintly bleach-stained sweater: Fixed with sharpie, and you know what? I really like it a lot more! Funny how little tiny things can make something feel worn out and unlovely.

Grey undershirt with pinprick holes: mended (and wow there were so many of them! How is it that once you start mending, you find so many more holes??). Now I’d like to soak it in oxyclean because it’s yellowing in some areas. Despite the fact that nobody but me will ever see it, I’ll like it more if it’s well-cared for.

Old cowl-necked black shirt that I resented but also could not bring myself to throw away: mended and loved once more! I could not bear throwing it away, and once I secured some loose threads, fixed a run in the sleeve, and picked away some mysterious red flecks and sharpied the rest, it feels new. It turns out I really love this shirt and my feeling of frustration and boredom was directly linked to all of the little evidences of wear that were not noticeable to anybody but the wearer. It’s really quality, too! Very soft and not pilling despite the amount of wear I’ve put on it

Stained shirt embroidery project: put on hold for an unknown amount of time because I realized I’d forgotten the fact that I owned a matching square scarf with a floral pattern; my original dandelion design needs to complement it and I think I need to re-think it and get new embroidery threads

Coat strap: Shortened effectively and while the thread’s not a perfect match, literally no one but me is going to notice and I really don’t care about it

Socks: two pairs of socks to darn, one of them a pair of wool toe socks (ugh but worth it to fix) and the other pair a decorative pair of cotton socks that are cheap enough that they really don’t deserve mending but I don’t really have any other pairs of lightweight tall socks and like these, so I’d better mend them before they’re too threadbare.

Boat-neck shirt that’s too wide-necked for comfort: experimental lacework at the neckline complete and functional. Unfortunately this shirt needs more work and I’m not keen on doing it, but it’s a nice long-sleeved shirt and really comfortable, so I should get on with it. Ideally I’d add cuffs in matching yarn, and add something to the hem as well (needle lace might be something to look in here). It’s also got some ink stains that I have no idea what design to use to cover, but I have beads and ribbons and thread. This is probably a backburner piece for now. I think I’m going to use it to experiment on and keep it as a comfort/casual shirt for now. I’ve got a darker teal version of the shirt with all the same problems and promises, sans stain, and I think it has a chance of being more polished than this one if I do it right, so I want to make all the mistakes on the stained shirt.

Sweatshirt that I love and treated carelessly: buried with my summer clothes from the move. *sigh*...this is all my fault. I used it to hold ripe wild persimmons and turns out those do NOT like to come out, not even from dark navy clothes. Then, when I tried to use oxyclean because that fixed my last stain, I neglected to read the info that says don’t use it with metal! And my lovely sweatshirt is lovely because of its metal zipper and fixings! So now it’s got purplish-reddish spots on it from the reaction of the metal to the oxyclean and I don’t know how to fix it. I know I need a good blue to balance out what was lost, but the spots are big enough that a real dye rather than a permanent marker is probably in order, and it’s got white cloth lettering so dyeing will be a little tricky.

Not mending: tablet weaving! Slow work in progress and I need to unpick some stuff (ugh! spent a few hours stuck on that last night!), but it’s looking a lot more successful than it did a few days ago. Also, I have oodles of yarn that I should spin. I haven’t, because I think I’m a little bored with the plain white color, but I eventually will get back to it. I should look into dyeing, frankly. Also, I would like to make a sweater, some mittens, and maybe a pair of socks, but I don’t know what my skill level at making yarn is or what I could tolerate the feel of the most, and I’ve got a 50$ gift card to my LYS, which is not too shabby but also not enough for a sweater. I figure I could get a pair of mittens or socks out of it, or I could use it to discount the cost of a sweater. Gotta find patterns I want to use, though...

Lessons learned:

There’s a lot you notice consciously or subconsciously about your clothes that someone who doesn’t wear them wouldn’t, and sometimes small changes can transform how you feel about them.

Once you start noticing things, you keep noticing them, and so you’ll probably find a lot more to mend once you start, but I promise it’s worth it

It’s tedious to finish projects but it’s worth it to stick with them to the end and not call quits until you’re actually satisfied, because “it’s okay” and “it’s exactly how I want it, or at least the closest I can get to ideal using my skill set” is the difference between reaching for clothes and ignoring them for ages

To flesh that out a little, there’s a difference between “I don’t care”  and “I do care but haven’t noticed/acknowledged it” and “I’m too frustrated to keep going but I am actually still bothered.” The first one is a good place to stop, but the others are not. Being able to tell the difference between a) genuinely not being bothered by the myriad of little imperfections in handmade/altered clothing, b) being bugged at the subconscious level, and c) being quite bothered at a conscious level but too frustrated to keep going/giving up is really important. A is a good stopping point, B is something that it pays to notice and address, and C is something that asks you to step away for a project for a while but come back to it, because projects in a state of B and C are going to bother you at some level, even if you’re calling them “complete,” and that negativity is going to affect your relationship to the clothes, even if it’s subconscious. A is great, though, definitely stop there if you genuinely don’t care.

It is complicated to figure out how a jacket should fit and attach, especially when there are curves and overlapping edges involved!! Not a quick fix, lots of trying on to do

Iron stuff before sewing. It makes a difference. Really.

Probably don’t use the zigzag stitch to secure an edge of a lacy sweater you cut in half because it stretches it out and you’re probably going to roll the edges anyways and it’s hard to un-stretch and un-curl

Read the instructions of cleaning projects. Yes, even when you’ve used them before on different garments

I also learned how much red goes into navy, though, so I guess there’s another lesson. I wish it just didn’t have to happen to my Perfect Sweatshirt. I have not fully ruled out buying a new blank one from the company that makes it and re-sewing on the decoration, or making a new Perfect Sweatshirt from one of their base ones, but I haven’t decided if that’s overkill or not yet.

Best Fashionable Maternity Clothes - It Never Ends, Until...

The technology continues to improve in various ways, from the fineness of detail a machine can print to the amount of time required to clean and finish the object when the printing is complete. A slim merino wool sweater over a button-down with denim and sneakers will give you just the right amount of refinement. Because smart casual attire still calls for touches of traditional formality, a button-down shirt will always work. For browse around this site , stay away from blazers that are too formal. In recent years, sneakers have become more and more commonly paired with more formal pieces. According to Michel Pastoureau's "The Devil's Cloth: A History of Stripes," stripes have a dark past. A pair of well-fitted jeans in a traditional dark wash is a very versatile piece. You can find minimalist sneakers in leather that can pull their weight with a linen suit as easily as with a pair of jeans. And, please, unless you're a real cowboy, skip the boots and jeans with the denim shirt.

Well-fitting for T-shirts does not necessarily mean that the shirt hugs you tightly, but it should match the overall tone of your attire. We store the final assortment of prom dresses on the web and also shoes, accessories, and jewelry so that you can match all of your fashion needs in one place. This will keep the smart essence of a blazer without looking out of place with the rest of your outfit. Use these shoes in alternative fabrics like suede to keep them from looking out of place. Mix in some pastels like soft pink to nail a trendy look that can still be dressed up. Wear a cardigan over a simple T-shirt for a casual look that still imparts a bookish elegance. Cardigan sweaters are a great option when looking to sub in a piece for your jackets. A staple of fall and winter layering, sweaters can help you nail a smart casual dress code. They are great in simple looks but can be layered with sweaters or coats for more visually complex outfits. Jeans work well with smart-casual looks. For example, a slub tee that drapes freely might work better with your slimmest jeans while a Pima cotton shirt that accentuates your arms will look better with khakis and boots.

You have to make sure that your T-shirt is well-fitted with refined details.

Cable knits are more suited to winter but are a nod to tradition that will work well with casual accents. Look for blazers that are lightweight and made from relaxed fabrics, like a chino, tweed, or linen. You can start with business casual classics like brogues, boots, and Derby’s and try to dress them down. Get khaki, black, grey, olive and brown chinos as starter pieces and you can pull off the smart casual dress code anywhere. Whereas button-downs might be your go-to option, you can get away with mixing in some T-shirts with your smart casual wear. This is a great opportunity to mix in different shoes with some pieces you might not have tried before. You have to make sure that your T-shirt is well-fitted with refined details. A brown leather jacket is a timeless piece that can be worn with a button-down and chinos, while a black moto jacket can be worn with a white T-shirt and Chelsea boots for an edgy look. High collars or scalloped hems can make a regular T-shirt a standout piece if worn correctly. Notwithstanding their high price tag, Designer shoes are an asset for your wardrobe and they’re right here to remain.

Male Old Fashioned Clothes

Bear in mind that you can customize a look that you may like, which does not completely flatter your style by using the spaghetti straps and shawls that are included in nearly all of our dresses, by cutting the hem, or by selecting the most appropriate accessories. If you’re looking for Prom dresses, we recommend you locate the best online shops that have got the largest collection and largest inventory. But fortunately for visual appeal (and safety), most bath fixtures have rounded sides that contrast nicely to the squared-off shape of the room. In any powder room or half bath, you'll probably want to save space with a good-looking pedestal sink and stash spare bathroom supplies in a separate, covered basket or box. Outdoor drinks with friends is a good time to try this; throw on some stone shorts with a powder blue cotton button-down, sunglasses, and sneakers with no-show socks. The other is wearing a navy blue knee-length skirt, a silk blouse and leather heels.

Winter is coming, and that means it's time to start thinking about your wardrobe. As a man, you need to have a few key pieces in your closet that will keep you warm and stylish all season long.

Quarter-zip sweatshirt: A quarter-zip sweatshirt is a great option for activewear. It's also a good option for layering under a jacket.

3. Jackets

A good winter jacket is essential for staying warm and dry. Look for a jacket that is made from a water-resistant or waterproof material. You should also choose a jacket that is insulated to keep you warm in cold weather.

Here are a few different types of jackets that every man should have:

Here are a few different types of winter boots that every man should have:

Chelsea boots: Chelsea boots are a versatile style of boot that can be dressed up or down. They're perfect for everyday wear or for formal occasions.

5. Accessories

In addition to sweaters, sweatshirts, jackets, and boots, there are a few other accessories that every man should have in his winter wardrobe. These accessories will help you stay warm and comfortable all season long.

Winter Clothes, Jackets, Coats For Men

The Crofton Puffer is created from the brand's Recycled Feather-Light Ripstop Fabric and options an impressive 750-fill power using duck down. All Canada Goose jackets get a Thermal Experience Index ranking starting from TEI1 by way of TEI5. The Crofton Puffer has a TEI4 ranking, which means it is capable of enduring temperatures as low as -13°F and is hotter than a few of the model's most basic kinds.

The PACLITE® shell feels easy to contact however is sort of clearly sturdy and waterproof. It is comfortable to put on through a variety of activities. In reality, I assume you'd be hard-pressed to search out an activity that this won’t carry winter clothes for men out properly in. I discovered it great for hiking, daily chores, in the rain, the snow, and even on brighter, hotter days. Paired with a good mid-layer (like the ones here!), I suppose you could comfortably use this jacket on the slopes.

This is what I think to be the right Lean Wardrobe outfit. While I’m more casual nowadays, I nonetheless contemplate this as my base uniform and would wear this 99% of the time if I labored in a “business casual” environment. If you've thick, loose, and/or cumbersome pieces beneath layers that are slimmer, thinner, or extra lightweight… that may be actually uncomfortable. I even put on my darkish denim less, and as an alternative, swap them with my lightweight, stretch, light-wash denim. The solely dark colors I truly have during spring and summer are my olive and navy linen shirts. It still has the padded baffles of a puffer but features a modern and glossy silhouette.

The padded collar paired with a memory foam insole means you can count on all-day comfort. They did run slightly narrow, so if you’re on the cusp of two sizes, I would measure up. The sliver of blouse collar peeking out from the neckline of the crew neck sweater is a small detail that adds a touch of refinement to the look. Furthermore, the brilliant blue interior of the down jacket gives the impression of a nice pop of color without screaming too loudly.

While some individuals find merino wool itchy, going for premium merino wool in a finer gauge will normally solve this. If you’ve picked up a correct winter-weight button-down and pants, you’re probably not going to need to pile far more on. My recommendation is to stay to mostly neutral colors, then focus on the basic layering recipes.

Always put on the thinnest clothes closest to your body. The mannequin right here is sporting the same long-sleeve and is layered on the Better Than Down Vest from Public Rec. He’s using winter mens fashions with the light-to-dark rule, and since the vest is lightweight, he has room to add a bomber jacket on high if issues get colder.

There are numerous methods to work these patterns into your everyday wardrobe, but one of the easiest is in the medium of an overskirt or flannel shirt. Sperry’s Cold Bay Chelsea boots are created from molded rubber, so they’re puddle-proof. They’re additionally lined with microfleece for heat mens winter fashion and feature enhanced traction. Pull these on when you’re walking to work via the slush. Torrential downpours, face-shearing winds, bone-chilling cold—let scientifically superior clothes protect you from the elements and maintain you snug.

It’s no use trying fairly in your new winter outfit when the lack of comfort may prevent you from enjoying your journey. If there’s one quintessential piece in winter outfits for men, it’s the wear-with-everything longline coat. Whether it’s single-breasted or double-breasted, the knee-length fashion is a simple layer for athleisure-rich and soft-tailored outfits alike. You can also put on a longline coat on formal put on as nicely. It is often considered one of the best suggestions for winter formal put on. Introduce a pair of black leather-based informal boots to the combo to tug the whole getup collectively.

Check out this listing I just added to my Poshmark closet: Beautiful charcoal soft wool coat, button front, sz 20W, lightweight, but warm!.

THE PERFECT WARDROBE (BY GIORGIO ARMANI)

(an excerpt from L’Etiquette issue 8.)  I love this list from a maestro and one of the last greats of the heroic 1980s fashion generation who still independently owns and operates his marque.

idk what it means just yet, but these parallels hit me really hard the other day and i've been churning them around in my mind since then

e171 go to the mirror: Have you ever decided you wanted a lightweight, wool button-up coat, all black? Did you go shopping for it? And did you find one? How disappointed were you to learn that this design was not available in any of the five stores you went to? Did you ponder the idea that such a coat was so basic, so unassuming, so without frill or feature that no one had ever thought to create it?

e209 the black coat: It was something about…it was…I wore a black coat and had never existed. [...] The figure is wearing a long black coat, and a low black hat, and it is me. I have walked out of the Narrow Place and fallen into my own arms. [...] I wore a black coat, and had never existed. The Distant Prince wears a golden coat and has always existed. Every block that we passed, there seemed to be less of me, the me in the black coat. I couldn’t quite say how, because it still looked exactly like me. But every step diminished me, and the coat hung looser and looser about my shoulders. [...] He leaned back into his chair, and kept leaning, and leaning, and leaning, until there was nothing left of him except his black coat, which smelled of cinder and sickly sweet candy.

Top Picks of Best Designer Winter Coats

Christian Dior Embroidered Sleeveless Coat

This Dior coat might come across as basic blue outerwear, but the details are in the beauty of its tailoring. Starting from the deep neckline and the double-breasted style to the cinch on the waist and the slight flare from there on.

Fall Fashion Recap: A Definitive Guide to the Fall Season's Best Looks and Trends

Fall Fashion Recap | A Definitive Guide to the Fall Season's Best Looks and Trends Fall is crisp, with cooler weather, leaves, and the holiday shopping season. Whether you're an office worker trying to impress or a college student looking to soak up some sun, fall has a lot to offer fashion-wise. The problem is, with all of these seasonal trends, it's easy for them to become confused and for people to wear the wrong styles at the wrong time. This blog will sort through fall fashion and provide tips on how you can win over your friends with your sense of style, even amid musty sweaters and wool coats. Fall Fashion Recap #1: Get Comfortable Clothing Fall is a time when people want to feel comfortable while your outside. Sweaters, cardigans, and other knits will be huge this season. They provide warmth without making it too hot indoors, which is perfect for those who live somewhere with unpredictable weather in the fall months. If you want to go even further with comfortable clothing, try adding leggings underneath your jeans or pants for an extra layer of warmth without adding too much bulkiness to your outfit. #2: Rock Your Favorite Colors Colors for fall are the deep reds and oranges to browns and greens — any color that evokes thoughts of falling leaves or changing foliage. These colors are perfect for wearing when cold outside but not yet freezing; they'll keep you warm enough without overheating your body. If you're looking for a way to wear these colors without feeling like you have too many layers on your body, try pairing them with a lightweight jacket or sweater. This will keep you warm without making you feel like an overheated sausage in a casing. #3: Layer Your Clothes If you're looking for a way to stay warm while still being comfortable, try layering your clothes. This can be as simple as throwing on a lightweight button-down shirt underneath a sweater or jacket, or it can involve putting on more than one coat. If you're going for the latter option, ensure each layer is thin and breathable so that your body isn't sweating profusely under all those layers of clothing. - Go Nude(ish) Black and white are always in style, but this season there's something about nude colors that make them even more appealing. The best way to incorporate nude into your wardrobe is by mixing it with other shades of browns, grays, and tans — like camel and beige — which will complement your skin tone and help bring out your eyes. #4: Bring a Hat and Gloves Nothing beats a good hat and pair of gloves when staying warm. Going outside in the wintertime without these items, you'll find yourself freezing within minutes. This is especially true if you spend any time outdoors during the early morning or late evening hours when temperatures can dip below freezing. #5: Choose a Pair of Boots That Can Handle the Elements In addition to keeping your feet warm and dry, boots are essential to staying comfortable when it's cold outside. If you don't have a pair of boots that can handle snow and ice well, you may slip and slide around when trying to walk. This could lead to injuries or other complications that will make your wintertime adventures less enjoyable. #6: Sharing is Caring While the fall fashion season can sometimes be intimidating, it is also an opportunity to experiment with mixing and matching. Vloggers and fashion enthusiasts are excellent sources of inspiration, and you can be one of them. A video that is created and shared life, as well as a video format that can be shared across multiple platforms, is guaranteed to provide viewers with the best content. Don't be afraid to branch out this fall to try dressing in ways that you haven't before. There's no reason the fashion season has to feel so stifling; instead, it can be liberating, an opportunity for you to show your creativity and sense of style. From shorts and skirts to sweaters and scarves, you can create a unique ensemble from scratch by using what the warm-weather season offers. Again, use looks like these as a starting point, not a rulebook. Mix and match as you like, and see what kind of different styles you can create together!
