eggtart fit doctor

Objective

• Maybe not necessarily a fit doctor but I want to use this thread to gather thoughts I have about my fits, inspirations, motivations for future reference. Seeing if anyone has any thoughts would be a nice bonus. Whether it's a fit critique, things I may not have considered, or helping me find the words to capture what I'm interested in -

*Motive

• I graduated last year, and frankly I would like to leave most of the past behind because I've changed so much since then. I want to dress to be more authentic to myself and showcase my personality as a nonbinary guy with feminine tastes/preferences.

Motifs

• asymmetric details, mesh, crops, knits, sweats, pastel/soft colors

I see my style (or at least my aspirational one) in 3 archetypes and have sorted them accordingly from my inspo channel dumps. As for my actual fits, I don't think I have as much (or have experimented) I want, but I think it's a okay representation of what I'm trying to achieve rn - 2, 3, 5, 7 and 9 being particularly fits I like.

I expect my wardrobe to change a lot over the year so maybe this thread isn't necessarily but it's good to get my thoughts down anyways.

Tangents**

• I really like the city boy look but idk if it's something I necessarily feel strongly about as much as I see it as a comfortable default
• The idea of "fitting" my outfits is something I have trouble with especially w/ camp collars as much as I like them for being able to play with colors, patterns and embroidery. I think fashion is ultimately aspirational/performative and I'm not sure how to make of it that camp collars can feel a bit foreign at times. It might be that something that goes away as I get used to wearing camp collars (bc I never had)
• I would pick out 7 as my quintessential fit. Flower motif (graphic tee), drapery pants, silly bandana with a bigass smiley face and great color coordination
• I think fits w/ skirts tend to be my favorite ones. That means they're harder to replicate but I think the "male equivalent" of that is hoodies/sweats and shorts which is lowkey already my comfort pick anyways.
• bandanas are cool as fuck and the fact I can tie them to my pants or my tote bags is a GREAT way to accessorize
• speaking of which I like using pins and plushies along w/ tote bags and backpacks as accessories, which is something I feel like I don't hear about much. I rly like cute stuff and I think having plushies somewhere is a big deal to me bc it exemplifies my personality directly
• I honestly see myself as lacking a lot of "staples". Graphic tees, sweats/hoodies, I think there's pieces I could do with having more of (or at all) but I haven't gotten around to it yet so I'm making do for what I do have for now

  1) jeans, cool as fuck.
  3) asymmetric + interplay between grungy (?) tee and skirts.
  4) favorite needles fit
  5) i'm a jorts hater but this is literally so cool
  6) i don't rly like leather jackets but i like how it's being styled here and would like to replicate it
  7) my absolutely favorite fit. leg warmers are cool. also warmed me up to wearing zipped hoodies again, i mean how fucking cool is everything here. 8) a vibe
  9) chill, tonal, i should get a crossbody bag
