For me, it wasn't the colour that's the issue, in fact some white would be nice in that region. Maybe even some of Ann's thick pinstriping to break it up, if that's not too bold. It's more the texture of the pants- too stiff and conservative, you know? Outfit still looks nice though, don't get me wrong.

The pants are Number (N)ine, they're darted but they needed to be sagged a bit I guess. The thing is they have the same texture and sort of matte / faded look as the jacket which is more of a charcoal /faded black than flat black (as are the Yohji's), whereas the hat is a saturated, true black, which is what I figured was throwing it off.In a perfect world you could fuck people without ever giving them a piece of your heart.
And every glittering kiss and every touch of flesh is another shard of heart you'll never see again.

beau hit the nail on the head. i think the casual khaki's trivialize the outfit. they should be paired with not such a bold looking headpiece. the more i look at the fabrics paired with the khakis the more it throws me off. i'm not saying it has to be black but try a pant with a little something "more" than a khaki slack.

i just wear all my usual stuff and sweat like a fucking pig
carol would be proud to see me suffer.....
its funny - my wife and i had the very same conversation last night. Being australian, she sees summer as the gateway to a wonderful array of beautifully pastel, lightweight, flowing and frilly clothes, and the chance to wear all 74 variations of sandals/flats thats she owns
I just see it as hell...really surprised so many of you find cropped and 3/4 length pants easy to carry off.....i kinda feel like a 'try-hard' twat whenever i've tried them on, and its the one thing that my wife just laughs at and says 'get real' when shes see's me in them......
The dilemma has resulted in me forcing the family to stay in the UK rather than move sunny bloody australia ....you can't polish a turd, but you can roll it in glitter...

I too suffer in the summer. I have accepted it. Take it like a man!
But in New York in the summer, it really doesn't fucking matter what you wear - you are fucked either way.
I do have a pair of 12 year old Dirk Schonberger black leather sandals to which I have yet to find an equal, but that is for serious emergencies.
I do wear my only pair of shorts (Damir) and going to get a 3/4 Devoa pant. I also have the cut off light sweats from N(N) - those are great.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

like which shorts, which pants, which sneakers, which sandals, etc.
just curious
The thing is to avoid any slim trousers, like the DRKSHDW poplins, they're less comfortable on a hot day.
I am very self-conscious about my legs- only if I go cycling do I wear shorts, or when I go to the beach (once a year)
Oh, and then, I was in India in December and January. It did get very hot there, but I never wore shorts and no one else did. The idea that you need to go about your business half naked when the temperature rises is nonsense.sicut lilium inter spinas
