Nepenthes

[Vicarious]

I've got a few EG and Workaday oxfords with the curved hem, and to be honest I find them hard to integrate with the rest of my wardrobe. It's like they only play nice when you go all in on the Nepenthes (read: loose) aesthetic, and they tend to make the top block look unbalanced otherwise, 'cause I'm not a small dude. Anyone else? I love them, just not on me.

I'm the same way. The unbuttoned part of the scallop takes up half my torso so it looks bad in any semi regular fit. I also have to wear an undershirt with all of them or if I get hit by wind it practically shows my stomach... One shirt was enough

Glad I'm not alone. Yeah, the hem comes up so high on the side too... I've been told that it's to compensate for really high-rise pants, but I'm not about to devote a section of my wardrobe to clothes like that, which only work well with each other. Bummer.

^nice to see they're finally coming out with those in matched pairs! last i saw online they were mismatched eyelet type deals; one with that ghillie lacing and the other with standard eyelets? 

[haruki_murakami]

check the toe though 

but different eyelets? that sounds way sicker than these

^yeah i noticed it just a minute ago x_x i dunno! i might be confused; possibly was always just the toe to begin with????
i may have also confused with these
