Menswear guy has never shown how he actually dresses and his "critiques" are just political statements. For any political figure, it's left-leaning views == goo

  You are being downvoted but you are exactly right. Whatever redeeming value Derek's fashion statements have has been completely overtaken by his insufferable political avatar.

    Is it insufferable because you disagree or because you think this shouldn't be a space he has a right to discuss? I don't know mate, if you cannot ignore it, which I find it pretty easy to personally, then maybe this isn't a Derek Guy issue.

      No, funnily enough, I do agree with some of that. It is still insufferable because he is using his authority and social media clout in one sphere (fashion, which I used to respect him for, and which he had earned) as a cover to air his political opinions (where he is no different from the next person). > I don't know mate, if you cannot ignore it, which I find it pretty easy to personally, then maybe this isn't a Derek Guy issue. These swipes aren't necessary. This trick of trying to make me look like the bad guy isn't going to work. As for ignoring him, yes, I did. I unfollowed him because it was clear he was no longer a reliable authority on fashion for me.

  His advice is good; I've found multiple outfits based on his recommendations. Given that he specifies how to select clothes based on form, function, and taste, and not by pimping brands, this is absolute gold. Who gives a damn how he dresses; I hope he takes his own advice because it'd be pretty weird not to, but he could walk around nude for all I care.
