BGOL SARTORIALISTS: A thread

Re: GQing yourself

My Gold and Wood Frames are glasses with a slight tint not that damn dark. They tint when the sun is bright. I don't like all that sun in my eyes. Cheezy never they might be to expensive for your taste. My glasses are not meant to be retro. Seemed as if I touched a nerve.I bought my frames when I was in Paris. While walking around I didn't see lil wayne or jeezy walking around THANK U.


Other than the nutty buddy feelings You had I some of what posted. Boro I'm making a trip to London and need some info.

$600 for shades! think thats too much but if a brother got deep pockets why not buy what you love? my bad didint mean to be picky

What do you wanna know about London and when are you jetting in?

I am leaving the country next week but if need any info i wouldn't mind giving you a tip or two
 
Re: GQing yourself

where can you find some affordable GQ worthy clothes?

Anywhere. It's not about GQ. It's about YOU. It's about style and attitude. YOU make the suit, the suit doesn't make YOU. I personally go for the "timeless" look. example: cap toe or wing tip shoes NEVER play out. But, square toe shoes will. If you're worried about "trend", I would opt for "trendy" accessories rather than "trendy" clothes. Back in the day, Ali was always voted one of the 10 best dressed men in America. His style was always understated. (but then again, he's Ali) he doesn't have to be overstated.

My point is, you make your own look. Everything don't look good on everybody. Find out what works for YOU. I, get an idea in my head and then I go and look for it. It doesn't matter where you buy it. always buy quality though. it doesn't have to be from Armani though.

Finally, it's all about how you "carry" it. You can have on a $5,000 Armani and not look worth a dam if you ain't "wearin' it well. Ya feel me?

Re: GQing yourself

I Never Thought About it too deeply, but it seems fucked up that the wide majority of Brothas make a conscious choice to dress down on some lowest common denominator type shit.

I mean, they take the path of least resistance and just wear what ever they see other N!&&@$ in their hood wear.

Then even dudes in the suburbs who have the means to step their gear up STILL make the choice to rock the same bullshit they see on every other n!&&@,.. Tees, wife-beaters, baseball caps, baggy jeans, Timbs, AF-1's or whatever athletic footwear is popular in their area.

Not just young dumb follower muffugas either,..
 
Re: GQing yourself

Hope you all stocked up during the summer for the fall/winter season when prices were cheapest. I'm going to come back later and post some fall/winter styles. It will be from a northeasterner's point of view, so you guys that live in year round temperate climates in the south should contribute some stuff too.

This brotha's use of layers exemplifies the post-jazz age. The hoodie is a nod to American Hip Hop culture. The "po-boy" cap celebrates the spirit of industry. The blue blazer, class, bearing, presence. And to cap it off, a dazzling blue Hermes' scarf, a nod to the aristocracy.

The rings, the fist, the gorgeous visage make me want to know this brotha. Is he a professor? An artist? A musician? A revolutionary?

Well Narrated Boro
Respect My Brother
 
Re: GQing yourself

Re: GQing yourself


Clean, simple and monochromatic. he only lacked those Ray-Bans and the pocket square are also a nice touch. It brings a level of elegance to a casual look, especially with the collar buttons undone. I like it.
 
Re: GQing yourself

winter is here and it can be bloody miserable here in UK for the next 8 months so this would do for Autumn

Re: GQing yourself

the brother need to upgrade to something more presentable

The way I see it, those who are going in a certain direction will make themselves a part of that by dressing accordingly.

Also, part of it comes down to: location, location, location.

If your in your hood/place, I think its ok to be laid back... but at work or school, you should step up your game.
