The prep dads are thriving in the light blue top / khakis / dress shoes fits right around now. I don’t really love any of those pieces by themselves, and I generally don’t love how the prep-centric people will put them together, but I love the idea of it as an outfit. So here’s my take on it: a sashimi mended & patched chambray shirt, CAT workwear pants, and brown paraboots. From a distance I fit right in, but when you get closer there’s some distinctive features.
I think if you don’t know what to wear, find a stereotypical outfit that you’ve seen on the street and replicate it your own way. You might end up loving it.

I have a whole blog and ig explaining what and why...
but to break this recent outfit down: a navy blazer, an ecru broadcloth button down, a silk knit tie, a pair of wide fatigues, and some suede loafers. Oh, and a chambray hat.
I went to an event for Buck Mason (a pretty rugged brand) held in conjunction with J. Mueser (a bespoke tailoring brand based in NYC), and I was already planning to blend most of these pieces as an earth tones / casual tailoring type of outfit, so it felt like the perfect moment to bust out this exact outfit.

This is a colorful outfit for me, very rare. But the basic formula of good shoes (Paraboot) + good jeans (vintage Levi’s) + good shirt (J Crew Oxford) + good coat (from Aaron Levine’s time at Abercrombie) = formal everyday.
Also yes I am gigantic, I get it.

black boots/sneakers that I don’t mind getting scuffed up like timbs/goretex converse when it’s cold out, or adidas superstars, black straight leg or slim jeans, black t shirt/flowy button up. This is usual club fare for me
If I’m at a restaurant I always wear a white or preppy blue button up, dark jeans or slim chinos + brown boot or loafer
I dress to blend and go with something pedestrian rather than statement pieces I guess but this is kind of my personal style, I don’t say much with going out outfits
Side note I got heavy into personal style and fashion in high school and was severely online but sidelined for millennial gen fashion trends, I think this is why I’m aggressively anti anti fit and need a slim pant

florinegrassenhopper riotgrrrl brendanooooo slowdazzle buck_mcgraw and indianjones — we did it. Not only did we successfully meet for drinks, but we also schemed the hostile takeover of this app from tyler tonight.
In all seriousness — weird that an app I downloaded in April would make genuinely want to drive back into Brooklyn during end of day traffic for a happy hour. Great app filled with great people.

I feel like there’s a special connectivity on this app that I haven’t felt in a long time, maybe since early 2010’s tumblr. The fact that you can’t promote yourself like IG is wonderful. The fact that there isn’t mass video content like Tik Tok is great. It’s not this monetized / paid sponsorship app. People are here because they want to be a part of something with nothing to gain besides friendship. Seeing the URL -> IRL meetups warms my heart so much (waiting for an NYC or Brooklyn meetup).
Thanks for your participation on this niche little app. I smile reading all the recs and all the comments and all the asks. Hope we’ll all be here for a long time.

I think a life rule for me is to surround myself with people who know more / are smarter / are cooler than me and just absorb their aura by listening / observing them. It’s made me the incredibly smart / cool person you all know and love.
I just never thought I’d feel the same way about URL friends. I’m constantly listening to the songs I see posted here, reading the articles, subbing to newsletters, and googling topics that get tossed onto the feed.
It’s nice to know you can become a more rounded person by just absorbing what your mutuals post on here. I’m going to sit on my couch, have a cocktail and digest my lovely feed. Happy Sunday!
