  1. I think a personal style should be at least in some way, an expression of yourself. I'm not saying build a whole intertextual persona from the ground up (E.G. I'm a classy man who appreciates the finer things in life, so I'm only going to listen to jazz, wear classic suiting and drink the finest wines), but at least make the way in which you dress a manifestations of how you want the world to perceive you!  I think it should also be cohesive, or at least look like they're cohesive. An eclectic wardrobe (in terms of brand mix-up) can definitely work as long as it's backed by this kind of personal style - a poster like Fuuma might make something like Engineered Garments blend almost seamlessly with an outfit of Borelli or Brioni (sorry I don't know that much about classic menswear  :P ), because he's styled it in a way that's very much his own and it kind of loses the baggage of its original context. I've seen Seenmy do this in some fits, but in quite a few it seems quite haphazard - like a CCP vest slapped on top of a Soloist jacket almost needlessly, looks quite out of place in my opinion. You have to sort of consolidate their work with your own, rather than simply looking to consolidate their work/ideas with each other, or even more simply, just putting them on together. Also in terms of cohesiveness I think a more singular aesthetic makes sense in having a cohesive personal style more than having the fashion equivalent of dissociative identity disorder, where it's full Carol Christian Poell one day, full Soloist the next, and then full Visvim the day after.

     

    it's like you're ignoring the fact that he's a stylist, a job where you're tasked to put various clothes together. i think you can draw the connection between that and wanting to own and wear different types of clothing. you think good chefs don't go out and try different types of cuisine or attempt to cook it?

     

    it also sounds like you have some obsession with people wearing clothes that connect with their lifestyle. consider that some people just like the product. who's more authentic, the kid who spent countless hours researching for his first pair of visvims online and can recite hiroki interviews by heart, or the guy who walked into FIL and bought a pair cause he liked them? 

     

    and tbh ccp vest over soloist jacket is a pretty weak argument. did u need him to wear the soloist vest instead?
