How I Got Dressed: One Pair of Jeans, Two Ways
📒Guide❔Other
I really liked how my last fits in #waywt turned out, especially since they were both wearing a pair of new-to-me Lemaire Twisted Belted Pants and similar components otherwise. Inspired by @TheVirt and @Elvander making similar posts I figured it was worth going through the process, if only for my own reference.
It's worth noting I had a broad idea of what to wear as a way to help decide whether or not to buy the jeans in the first place. Through time and effort and gathering #inspiration, I have a fairly strong idea of what styles I like - 90s inspired traditional menswear with exaggerated shapes and/or bold color, ex. Spring Inspo 2025 - Topic of the day 3/13/25 Summer 2025 Inspiration - Topic of the day 5/24/25 Fall 2025 Inspiration - Topic of the day 8/25/25 or stuff from Popeye and Fudge Magazines. Looking within that, I saw several examples of wide legged, dark pants that fit the bill (such as this, this, and this ). I feel thinking about what inspires you and what you already own, especially before buying, makes the outfit building process easier and often faster. It's not always needed, but in this case it helped me. (cont)
