Opinions on bowties/suspenders?

>>10815152
bowties are trash, suspenders can work but usually don't

>>10815152
I wear bow ties maybe once a week and suspenders quite often.

Suspenders with a plain white shirt and some dickies for that working class 1920s look

I wear bow ties with my suspenders but always try to make it more casual by only doing it with jeans and some converse or boots so it doesn't look too try hard

Sometimes will wear bow ties with a sweater or sweater vest

>make sure you work out, are well groomed, and it's obvious you're going for geek chic or the traditional geeky look other wise you'll probably just come off as a try hard

lurk more, that shit is reddit tier

This is the guy version of visible bra straps; in the right context it could be a clever look. My suggestion would be to wear it under a jacket the first time you go out; if you like it, then let your freak flag fly.

Bowties are for fratbro's, tux events, professors, and genuinely eccentric older people. Suspenders are a hit or miss depending on the fit.

I get a lot of smiles and compliments, I enjoy the geek chic thing a lot

Honestly when I was a prep boy and wore bowties all the time vapid normie girls loved that shit unironically. But no one worth talking to was ever the slightest bit entertained. Depends on the crowd you want I guess.

As for wearing them - 100% do not ever buy the clip-on versions of either. People can spot a fake bow tie from a mile away. Get button on suspenders, and get pants without belt loops. Otherwise you look like you're going to a costume party.

*entertaining

Oops.

If they care about bow ties theyre usually not worth talking to, is what I'm trying to say. It's like girls who run Doctor Who fandom tumblrs and shit.

>>10815152
don't. you could end up looking like that guy

Oh wow I just actually looked at the picture. Comically oversized leather braces holding up low rise pin-stripe pants and a shirt with a fucking 5" placket of exposed selvedge.


You've gone too fucking far, bearded etsy guys who only ever talk about craftsmanship and heritage and IPAs.

>>10815615
where's the exposed selvedge? I thought it was just chambray

pinstripes look dope imo

Suspenders under a jacket are fantastic and I'm a big fan of bow-ties, they give off a more fun vibe to a 'professional' look, I guess.
My big advice for suspenders/bow-ties is to not exclusively wear them, make sure you enjoy your solid-colour ties, make sure you appropriately wear flavoured ties (if that's your thing) and definitely do NOT wear these every day of the week.

exclusively for tryhard le quirky faggots or tryhard "classy" faggots

>>10815152
Can work for certain events.

semi-related anyone have that pic of the dweeby dude from some 20s fashion board who made his own "ties"

>>10815776

>suspenders

Make sure you have a dumb fucking pompadour and beard combo and an accompanying artomanliness article to go with them

I feel like the fashion scene has been trying to bring back suspenders and overalls for years, but it's just not what the people who are going to actually buy and wear their products want; in most places, your 50/50 is a 60/40 with most influential bloggers being in the opposing 60%. Modernism and geometry are much more in vogue. They've seen the retro hipster opening and attempted to cram suspenders, bowties and leather goods in it, causing a general aversion from the people who don't like this movement. So in the end, this style is not exactly effay but rather very thin ice. Do not attempt if you're a 5/10 5'10"

don't lump leather in with this novelty horseshit
