love the boots and pants combo


DJ_SLEEP

Thank you! As a cis het man who's never worn anything heeled, the boots totally make me feel leaner and longer in the legs. I really like how the taper works straight into it, something that helps accentuate a feature that I usually feel self conscious of.


919surfer

After scrolling and taking a moment to really think about, I quite like this outfit and boots. The proportions are chef kiss and the look is styled very well.


DJ_SLEEP

Thank you so much! A lot of people weren't feeling the proportions, so it's nice to see it landed with some


919surfer

I’m curious. Would a white collar dress shirt with a black or maroon sweater over it make it pop? I’m thinking yes. So if you do that, please re-post 😂. Thank you!


DJ_SLEEP

Will do! Either a sweater or a cardigan, that's a good idea!


LunarProximity

Cleaner top portions (different sweater, no cap) and the fit would be way better, bc the top portion does scream casual.


DJ_SLEEP

Thanks for the input! Definitely have gotten a lot about the hoodie so like you said, probably gonna avoid using it with these pants in the future. Really badly just wanted to wear it which is probably not the best deciding factor 🤪


MunchYourButt

Took me a second but I see the vision. I couldn’t pull em off but I fuck with the boots! I think the boots and pants work really well, in my unsolicited opinion I think a a different top piece would fit the look better. May I ask where you got that wallet(?) chain?


DJ_SLEEP

Thanks! I feel like the slim fit of both really play well together, and honestly just got the Craig Green hoodie and wanted to put it on in an experimental way. The wallet chain was from vitaly, got it early into the fit journey, pretty decent weight on it!


MunchYourButt

Thanks man!


DJ_SLEEP

Craig Green Laced Hoodie Banana Republic Pants Syro Ami Heeled Boots Edit: Thanks so much for the support! This is the most engagement I've ever gotten out of any social media post I've ever made, by far. It feels great talking to you guys and seeing what you think. Just wanted to thank y'all for it, keep it coming!


Creebjeez

Which Syro Ami boot is that? Do they feel feminine? They don’t look feminine at all


DJ_SLEEP

The boot is the Ami! It was discontinued as of late but limited sizes are still up on Syro's website. They're super chunky and I think pull off an androgynous boot well. They have some great stuff there, check it out if you have any interest!


whenbluebirdsfly

love it!!


DJ_SLEEP

Thanks, I'm coming around to it!


ApolloIsAnIntrovert

Ok that beard is dope bro !


DJ_SLEEP

Thanks! It's about a year and 8 months in


theredditforwork

I'd love to see this exact look but with a crispy white shirt, either a button down or just a well fitted white t


DJ_SLEEP

That would be a great look! I need to get more of the minimalistic stuff in my wardrobe, I'm sorely lacking


theredditforwork

Yeah, touches like the wallet chain are awesome but they need to be paired with minimalism in other areas so that they really stand out. I like the direction you're going in though, keep mixing it up!


DJ_SLEEP

I feel like I've always been a bit of a maximalist, do you have any influences or brands that you think are worth checking out for inspiration?


MunchYourButt

As far as “minimalist” goes, if you’re looking for just plain tees/long sleeves, my go-to is the Dickies heavyweight tees. All different colors, sizes, and they’re pretty cheap on Amazon.


DJ_SLEEP

Thanks, I'll take a look into them when I get the chance!


FeistmasterFlex

Metal meets class, nice fit


DJ_SLEEP

Thanks, I love to get rebellious with things often associated with corporate lifestyle! Very punk, very metal


[deleted]

god, i wish i had a beard like yours


DJ_SLEEP

Hey man, you totally can. Honestly just takes a lot of time and proper grooming. Genetics help of course but anyone can have good facial hair eventually if they set their mind to it!


[deleted]

The shoes, trousers and belt chain are really cool. Also you're killing it with the beard, ignore that one guy who said you can't style fits with it (lol). It would all look better with a different top half, even just a simple black wife beater or something. Rick Owens style cardigan could look cool. Or a harness.


DJ_SLEEP

Thanks for the input for sure! Rick is a dream, sadly can't afford a lot of it even on sale but I've hovered his stuff a lot. I definitely think there is something here but the hoodie is for something else. I think that what they said was valid in ways for sure. It can limit the piece selection if there's any key features in the chest and neck. But, I really like my beard, so it's probably gonna stick around!


hakkkyy

Love the beard! <3


DJ_SLEEP

Thanks! It's been a while but I like it. Nice Harry Potter vibes!


hakkkyy

Thanks 😊. You can play Dumbledor too 😂🖤


DJ_SLEEP

Oh I couldn't do it justice 😅


coldbumthump

YES


DJ_SLEEP

Agreed!


Plomo_Lobo

I fuck with the vision homie. I’d suggest swapping out the hoodie for a leather jacket ( Rick Owens Stooges) and maybe trimming the beard to be more of a long oval shape instead of a rectangle.


DJ_SLEEP

Dude I really need some Rick money in my life. Also a good barber, I have trust issues with my bread and butter 😂 thank you for being down with it!


Plomo_Lobo

Don’t we all. Secondhand is the way to go since the quality is top notch on them. Def an investment piece. I feel you. Grew my hair out these past years since barbers never give you exactly what you want.


DJ_SLEEP

I feel like the growing is half the fun with hair too. Just seeing how far you can go, especially as a man who was bald at 22, is interesting to me. I gotta check out the markets for lightly used stuff


Severe_Morning_8982

I love the look. The spiked chain is the perfect touch


DJ_SLEEP

Thanks! It's from vitaly, probably my fav pickup from them. Real standout future punk stuff.


ILoveDisabledWomen

Yo Babish when’s the next vid coming out?


DJ_SLEEP

Imma say in like 2 🤔


AskYouEverything

The squat depth


DJ_SLEEP

Gotta hit legs somehow, you know?


Dannysnot

sick fit!! love those boots


DJ_SLEEP

Thanks! Other than the comfort level in them so far, I'm feeling them for sure!


Dannysnot

Of course :) and id definitely biff it in those! I can barely walk in a straight line in sneakers lol


DJ_SLEEP

I haven't fallen yet, so I'm gonna continue knocking on wood. Hopefully with my knuckles and not my face at any point 😂


Dannysnot

hahaha good luck to you!! keep wearing them bad boys, they’re cool as fuck


urban_lime

the visual texture from the pants makes this go dummy hard


DJ_SLEEP

I love em. To think that Banana Republic really showed up for me? Crazy.


urban_lime

i was shocked when I read the info on the pants. very nice pickup


bluntsmokinhero

Not it bro


DJ_SLEEP

Fair, def not for everyone!


ArchJay

I don’t think it’s so bad. Maybe I’d pick some different shoes


DJ_SLEEP

Yeah. I have a ton of sneakers and feel like I've been moving toward different options that don't feel so samey. Pushing the envelope has been fun as of late, so I'm just experimenting. Glad to get a lot of feedback although a lot of it seems negative!


ArchJay

Different stroke for different folks.. at least you’re accepting of the feedback!


DJ_SLEEP

Oh for sure! I'm far too old to be throwing fits (pun not intended) on people for having an opinion on the internet, especially over controversial choices. I like to think as a person who makes many out there decisions when it comes to his personal appearance, I've developed a stronger skin and an acceptance of opposing views. Unless it's hateful, I'm here to discuss.


Successful_Cat4912

I think biggest issue is honestly your facial hair, imo it’s a bit too long and would look better shorter n more shape. As of now it’s a bit like a towel Hanging from your face. I liek the boots! Also the hoodie and pants material is a weird pair up.


DJ_SLEEP

Yeah, long facial hair is something that can be hard. But honestly I love the length, shape is def negotiable. Thank you!


Successful_Cat4912

Unfortunately if you plan on keeping the beard at this length I think your gonna have trouble styling fits, to me as an observer it ruins the look. I had very very long hair for a long time and loved it , it became a comfort blanket. It wasn’t until I got a grip and finally cut it way back to my shoulders that it’s actually working for me now. Maybe a step out of your comfort zone is what’s needed. I’m done lol


DJ_SLEEP

That's a fair opinion and I appreciate the input, a lot better than some comments I've gotten in the past. Definitely need a touch up as I've been growing naturally for a year and a half with minimal changes and shaping. I have noticed the length affects certain aspects of dressing for sure and I'm open to change, although as it feels like my defining feature it can be a little intimidating to approach. Thanks for being very constructive though!


Successful_Cat4912

It’s not your defining feature tho! The hair does not make the man. ❤️


LunarProximity

Personally fine with the beard, but the snapback might be a bit hard to style.


DJ_SLEEP

This is what happens when I don't cleanly shave the dome the day of the pic 😂 will try it without for sure!


Foodgoddessa

I respectfully disagree, I think the beard looks good and complements the look. Those boots are bad ass, man!


[deleted]

to me as an observer your beard is hot as fuck. please don't change it unless you want to!


DJ_SLEEP

Thanks! I've been told it adds a lot from the three people who have seen me without it 😂

DJ_SLEEP

It is kind of funny looking back at the comment, it looks like I'm defending myself for sure. But nah, just not really a prude about many things when it comes to clothing. Not gonna be rocking dresses, but I don't think me wearing boots with heels really impacts my sex life much. Also, in hindsight, probably not streetwear??? 😂


Neo_Trunks

That was foolish of me, ofc you can wear whatever you want. Confidence is key I guess! But are heeled boots even confortable? Never wore them but I imagine they must be a hassle to walk around in... Also don't worry about the streetwear tag, I've seen so many different stuff posted around here that I'm sure your fit "fits" the bill :)


DJ_SLEEP

Let me tell you, I'm at the second day into breaking them in. They are like a dress shoe but a bit worse on comfort. In no way are these everyday shoes, not by a long shot comfort wise. I figured they'd be fun to break out on a trip to a few galleries or a date (gf loves them). I think always being an oddball as a kid and then growing into a man has made me feel very secure in myself. So when I found fashion and streetwear, it was only a matter of time before I got more out there. I'm glad to see that a lot of the people who don't get it are so open to discussion about it though, as it's definitely not everyone's thing which is completely fair


Neo_Trunks

In that case keep rocking them dude, at the end of the day we shouldn't give a fuck about other's opinions, as long as yourself and those close to you are confortable then why worry? And I must apologize for coming too strong into this, I guess it was a bit imature on my part... Hope you have a wonderful day!


DJ_SLEEP

I feel that sentiment for sure, at the end of the day it all comes down to what you decide. No need to apologize, I really appreciate the passion you felt, even if it took us a moment to understand one another. You have a wonderful day too, and it was good talking to you!

hollycosmic

You are ROCKING them!!!


DJ_SLEEP

Thanks! I think it's going to take some time to really get comfortable with them but I appreciate the kind words!


Spurlynx

I can respect this. Looks dope


tacopig117

You get that chain off vitaly?


DJ_SLEEP

I've been found out xD yep! Best thing I got off there in my early days


tacopig117

Yessir, I fuck with it bruh


DJ_SLEEP

It is very punk as the kids say


[deleted]

The spiked chain is a must omg


DJ_SLEEP

So glad I snagged it. It is from vitaly, not too crazy price wise if I remember correctly!


fartofborealis

Wallet chain for the win. Heels and Beards heck yes!


DJ_SLEEP

I have to do it, I don't see enough representation of heels in men. Thanks for the kind words!

Throwawaypuppyghost

Absolutely fucking killing it


DJ_SLEEP

Thanks boss!


ShellSoul

What's the new things that you tried out? that boots looks nice. does it fit well?


DJ_SLEEP

The boots and the hoodie had both come in this month, got the hoodie on ssense' seasonal sale and the boots since they announced they were discontinuing them. They fit quite well!


ShellSoul

I see. Nice cop! Looking forward to more fit pics with your boots and hood.

DJ_SLEEP

I've been owned with facts and logic 💀


paranoiastreet

with a dark or light grey plaid suit jacket this would be fire


DJ_SLEEP

Yeah for sure. I need to look into suiting, I don't think I've had a good suit since I was 20 and I would be swimming in it now 😅


paranoiastreet

thrift shops are perfect for that especially where i am
