i made a tumblr web weaving type post abt this ages ago, but I was re-reminded of this topic when i saw this rec by @CHICKENONASTICK abt how we are the universe experiencing itself. since you cannot re-rec a post with an image i wanted to bring attention to this brennan lee mulligan quote that i feel is applicable:

I think all of the rings of power I’ve been watching and a recent visit to the Met cloisters has seeped deeply into my brain

it’s the perfect length for me to watch after work , i can start a movie at 11 or even 12 & get to bed at the (mostly) reasonable hour of 1:30 at the latest . sometimes i will extend this to 100 or 110 min if i‘m feeling indulgent or ambitious .
i could watch an hour of tv but this gives me a whole story in only a little bit more time .

while he’s become known as the menswear guy on twitter Derek Guy’s blog dieworkwear is full of long form dives into whatever he’s into at the moment . his writing for put this on is great as well , though the site’s largely dead now , the archive is still informative & interesting (i’d recommend looking through the knowledge base & advice tabs) .
i always look forward to his excited to wear seasonal series , it’s a joy to read his work & see what’s moving him in the upcoming season . he’s obviously got a strong base of knowledge in menswear , both casual & formal , but he emphasizes style that’s personal to a specific life , the delights of wearing clothes , & what they mean in the world . what’s great about his blog as well is that he always includes a wide variety of photos that illustrate the various pieces & styles he’s highlighting , both throughout his articles as well as a string of them at the bottom . they’re perfect for seeing how many different (often real) people are wearing these pieces and how you could work them into your own life .
all that said nothing beats trying a lot of stuff on , seeing what feels good for you & what sticks . it’s about the physical & emotional feeling of your clothes as they stand between you & the world .
a side rec for checking out more curated stores , whether that’s smaller boutique menswear shops or higher end vintage/consignment places . even if you don’t buy anything there it’s useful just to see what’s good & what you can look for at other places , without having to do so much sorting & searching through a thrift store or mall (which i find exhausting & often frustrating)
