Egggghhhh
Solovair makes the original docs. They’re the original company. Wood splint in them and all. There’s other choices for good boots though - Redbacks, redwings, bluntstones, etc etc. Just gotta buy industrial wear.
Yeah, theatre kids do fuck, but if you’re not one of them you don’t wanna be involved. I did a theatre related degree at university. I’m a very strange person, and I would not say they’re not the right type of strange. I really cannot stand to be around them. These mfers know Hamilton off by heart.
If you want a fit that is tried and tested, simple, hard to go wrong - thrift a pair of Levi’s that aren’t skinny, but also aren’t baggy. Sort of boxy. The denim must not be stretch denim.
Then get a black or white t shirt. Possibly graphic. Nothing recognisably branded. None of this Vans shite, or whatever. Go to a thrift store and find a t shirt that fits you nicely. Dont buy one that’s merch for some boring dad-ass rock band, or The Rolling Stones or whatever.
Shoes are pretty easy. Find the right line between sneaker and smart. I recommend looking at the stock of Clarks. Or Adidas sambas, these days. Please, for the love of god don’t buy Vans. They instantly mark you out as a dorky millennial. Doc Martens are just about fine, but honestly, with the wrong fit you’ll look like a theatre kid. If you want boots, ideally look elsewhere. Docs don’t have the quality that they used to.
I recommend a nice dark brown belt with it. If you’ve got an athletically shaped body I think tucking your shirt in is generally good and accommodates that. Even if you aren’t, test the tuck out. Wearing a baggy t shirt over jeans makes you look like you have a weird long torso.
There you go. Simple. I just sorted your fashion life out. Experiment from there. The main thing is stick away from mainstream brands. They’re all overproduced crap and look tacky. Their appeal is not quality fit or anything, it’s brand recognition so consumers feel part of something.
This is over complicated and will make you look like a Christian.

Yeah, the new terms and conditions about reproduction of your content is nuts. It’s literally that new (shit) black mirror episode Joan is Awful.
However, it’s hard not to have social media if you’re a creative. I’m going to have to bite the bullet at some point.
Hmmm. So you mean like muscle mass, BMI, wearing glasses and so on?
I think in general we look different because now people from lots of different places are getting it on and starting families. Even when it’s just a white person from Germany and a white person from England there’s still some degree of your offspring looking ‘new’. I moved from a more rural area to the countries capital and you can really see that the kids of people who live rural look like they always did, going back to Ye Olden Days, whereas city folk’s kids who’ve interbred with people from outside of their home town just look more modern in the face. Not in a bad way, they just simply look different.
Look at the Hollywood starlets through time - it’s not just shifting beauty standards but also just that people who look like that don’t really exist in the same numbers anymore. Same goes for models and actors these days - they have a more alien look about them (again, not in the pejorative sense) - just in the sense that now especially with the globalisation of beauty standards, the hottest people from one country are now able to fuck the hottest people from the other country, and both of those people might be operating on whatever beauty standard the American beauty industry has set. It means certain features are super pronounced like cheekbones and stuff.
Idk, maybe this is all bullshit. Just a hunching.
