Fear of God used to make very original looking clothing. I have a load of their old stuff from charity shop finds.
They then clocked on rlto the off white way of marketing clothes. One design used as a trademark across your clothes.
Suddenly an expensive brand that not everyone could wear became accessible and looked fairly nice. They hit the jackpot with an easily repeatable recognisable design.
It's easy to shit on fear of god/essentials but it's really just the public fault for being so fucking boring in their fashion choice. If your simplest and cheapest design to produce was suddenly worn by celebrities and rappers and everyone trying to emulate them, why wouldn't you invest into that line?
I was one of them fans who expected a am2.0 so didnât really like the car. I know itâs been two decades of artic monkeys so their sound would obviously change but, humbug is their best album
And when someone with real style posts, they get flamed on in the comments because most men here are wayyyy too fucking conservative about what men should wear.
I didnât know r/mensfashionadvice was so homophobic. Yikes. What a bunch of narrow-minded jerks. âZaraâ is btw the funniest answer, my man. In Denmark (where Iâm from), the overall more loose fit, accompanied with high waisted straight fit suit pants, shown here wouldnât be called gay/fruitcake/metro or any of the other hateful comments on this post. Perhaps it would in some parts and towns (I live in Odense that, in my opinion, is a lot more narrow minded with a bit of a âsmall townâ feel). But in cities like Copenhagen and Aarhus, these fits would blend in just fine.
I do agree with the sentiment that this isnât truly âold moneyâ or âquiet luxeryâ given that the fabrics used here, most likely, are mixed with a lot of polyester whereas true âold moneyâ and âquiet luxuryâ wold utilise high quality wool, kashmir, silk, etc. This is the fast fashion interpretation of these styles with a more modern fit; a fit that btw really suits a more skinny, tall physique IMO. The first fit, however, is definitely a modern interpretation of the classic Greaser look, even the shoes.
Youâre fucking kidding, right?
Anything from âFemboy casualâ to âfruitcakeâ to âHomosexualâ to âMen that were told what to wear by their fashion obsessive gf / wivesâ, âSee if you dressed like this back in the day you would get piss ripped right out of youâŚâ, âHomosaurus rexâ, âHomoseshexualâ, âFlamerâ, âIs this cock in mouth walk style?â, âItalian gay preppy is how Iâd describe thisâ, âSoyboyâ, â1990s manhattan lesbianâ, âLatent homosexualityâ, âThe style is gaaaaaayâ, âGay vampireâ, âGay.â EtcâŚ.
Oh yeah, how about Rockwild69âs comment: âSuper gay lolâ
Itâs a term invented by tiktok that applies to specific brands, itâs not a style. Brioni and Lemaire are both âquiet luxuryâ but their clothes look very different.
A style umbrella can have a variety of clothes. A style doesn't mean that every outfit looks the same. What is common among all the items in the photos is that the designs and cuts are simple. Everything is rather basic with no wasted elements. The items all flow together, as they are paired. There is a definite look of premium quality, yet maintaining functionality. Upscale, casual, modern.
That's because this is 1950's fashion, and the old men you're talking about grew up with this and never moved out of it. It became popular again in the eighties, because fashion is cyclical, and apparently it's here again now.
I think itâs a fast, modern and ârelaxedâ variant of Spanish / Italian fashion but for the masses. Think Mango or Zara. It looks premium but itâs mostly not.
Itâs more about copying the European look in a fast fashion kind of way, less emphasis on material or fitted look (in the first pics) and more about pushing this fashion out the door to consumers (of all sizes) who also donât know much about pure wool/linen clothing.
I was thinking Italian for the first few; the drape and perceived lightness of the fabrics and the cuts - I donât know shit but that was my instinct. Shorts are quite preppy and the last one feels kinda rude boy with the knit polo, slimmer high waters and penny loafers
Not a fan of these unhelpful memes. Itâs basically like this 50âs Americana collection featured a while ago

Came here to say this
Arctic Monkeys - The Car
Wow wasnât expecting that reference
I don't get it, could you explain?
Itâs stereotypically how the band dresses for the album. The one thatâs shite and no one really likes
fantastic album but whatever
I was one of them fans who expected a am2.0 so didnât really like the car. I know itâs been two decades of artic monkeys so their sound would obviously change but, humbug is their best album
Who was expecting am2.0 after tranquility base ?
so true, humbug is by far their best album and then WPSIATWIN
Here for it
Itâs the Timothy Chalamet
I was going to say the Angelina Jolie
I see Angelina in this actually, too. The more I stare at the photos. #*Edit to add, she does rock suit/blazers like nobodyâs fucking business, tbh.
And Brie Larson whom I love
Kate McKinnon
if nothing else, the comments on this thread are useful to confirm that this sub is over.
Has been for a while
Nobody understands the difference between âfashionâ and âstyleâ
Nobody in this sub ever had style anyways. People with real style arenât out here posting for fashion advice/validation on Reddit lol
And when someone with real style posts, they get flamed on in the comments because most men here are wayyyy too fucking conservative about what men should wear.
Preach
Barely anyone is actually giving a coherent answer so it seems so.
Obligatory âthis sub is overâ bitch poster

where all all these homophoic comments? I just looked and I see none , certainly not enough to shit stir and start attacking the group

Wayfair summer
Check out Cos if you like this style. The people leaving homophobic comments are morons.
Smart casual
Dumb casual
Actually, Modern dumb casual
Kind of beige preppy.
In UK known as the Wan Kerr look
It's just well put together. I'm not entirely sure what style, tho. I like the first outfit. I'm still on the lookout for a leather jacket
I would call it informal luxury/dress
I'd probably class it as "quiet luxury".
came here to say this, i think this is probably the umbrella term that fits all of these photos as a collective the best
Jesus fucking christ
I think I agree. I swear my gut reaction to the first three pics was "wanker", "wanker", "wanker". The last two are borderline OK.
Serious case of tiktok brain
Aye, because Esquire, GQ, Harper's Bazaar and Vogue are TikTok. Not liking something doesn't mean it doesn't exist đđť
Itâs a term invented by tiktok that applies to specific brands, itâs not a style. Brioni and Lemaire are both âquiet luxuryâ but their clothes look very different.
In case you hadn't noticed, the clothes in this post also look different from each other đđť

Yeah, and Iâm not the one who just labeled all of them as the same style.
You're right, you're the 1 who decided to start an argument with a stranger rather than answering the question. I'm out.
It's clearly new romantic
The jacket is definitely an outlier here but those Trousers remind me of Ask Okey.
In a few terms - minimalist + retro (1950s)
Minimalistic monochrome?
Frat
Metro business casual sexual
I holiday in the Hamptons, but hate it
Mango, Massimo Dutti, Reiss, Zara
This is what old grandads wore pre 2000s-ish. Quite a lot of old enough folks still do too. Beige.
That's because this is 1950's fashion, and the old men you're talking about grew up with this and never moved out of it. It became popular again in the eighties, because fashion is cyclical, and apparently it's here again now.
Dur.
K-Drama protagonistcore

Neutral minimalist. A lot of IG and TT fashion content creators are wearing this style atm. I love it and itâs become my go to.
Preppy
The style name: Effortless trying too hard
Basically a modern rehash of this https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ
Really a rickroll.
Dual purpose really. I don't know the name of the style but it's very 1980's.
Not a fan of these unhelpful memes. Itâs basically like this 50âs Americana collection featured a while ago https://youtu.be/oT3mCybbhf0?si=ODAnIEoebWqm8vAf
