Yes it is.

What people don't fucking understand is that you don't need to dress like a flaming faggot attention whore snowflake, garbage flavor of the month hypebeast shit, to stand out and to be considered well dressed.

What's important is how the piece of clothing fits. That's it. Full stop.

when dressing plain it is more about materials, fitting, details, ..

normcore is plain but stylish. have you read k-hole's 4th issue?

its basically what i do in all honesty. imo personality in how you dress is pretty dumb. it should be how you want to be perceived by the world. if youre looking into move into this type of cloathing, i would advise buying button ups from old navy, pants from dickies, and brown leather shoes or boots

Even though it's totally plain, this was one of James Bond's most iconic looks.

Success is rooted in understanding that a good fit, some high-quality fabric, and top notch shoes will do you well. For daily wear, my personal favorite is a tailored white Oxford, a nice pair of jeans or shorts, and my Ferragamo loafers. Simple? Sure, but it's timeless, neither flamboyant nor ostentatious, it makes good impressions and it's versatile. Appropriate in San Tropez or San Juan Capistrano, Saville Row or Skid Row.

Mm. OP. Big boy. Gotta add an addendum to my post.

Accessories are a plus. Nay, a necessity. If you wanna continue with the "plain" style, just get something classy and it'll elevate your whole outfit. If you want to go all /fa/ on us, if you want to take the concept of a coffee table book and apply it to your style, go get some far-out shades or a groovy timepiece. Robert Downey Jr does it. As long as it's high quality, it should pop against the rest of your outfit.

Either way. Go online and buy yourself something nice from the Dezeen watch store.

that polo is midnight blue. It's still in the sunspel collection.

>>11843520
yes.
Find some good fitting pants a simple yet good fitting shirt, a nice yet not gaudy outer layer if it's cold, and then a pair of shoes that compliments your wardrobe. It's not hard. A good fitting pair of jeans, a Tshirt that looks good on you and a nice pair of shoes will do you a lot of good.
