[FORUM] Where did you and do you get your sense of style?
Calling this a vanity post would be correct in multiple senses. First, though, let's do the appropriate thing and start with here's David Bowie's 1980 single "Fashion".



As life continues, I've becoming increasingly interested in developing a personal sense of style: clothing particularly, appearance more generally. There's the example of my friends here in Toronto, which is always valuable and appreciated. I also quite enjoy Russell Smith's 2005 Men's Style, and not only because he's a fellow Queen's University alumnus. But I'm also a very big fan of the principle of parallax. Also, I quite like textual records.

So. How did you do it? How do you do it?

That presupposes that I have a sense of style.

There are senses of style that I *admire* (most recently the TV series Mad Men), but I rarely have the time or the inkling to go wardrobe shopping.

I was going to post a comment, but it got out of hand, so I made my own post instead.

Very roughly mod/suedehead/two tone, but in practice this tends just to mean a lot of Fred Perry shirts. (Actually, I've just retrieved an old four button tonic jacket from the back of the wardrobe, and thinking, you know I stopped wearing this because I got fat, now the problem is the fit around the chest, but this could just about return to the fleet...)
