I'm definitely interested in learning more about fashion but your copy rubs me the wrong way.
Also, linking to blogs like http://www.theurbangent.com/ http://www.theurbangent.com/ is like linking a "first programming tutorial" to a CPU instruction set reference.
Things like http://www.theurbangent.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/pattern-print-mens-trend-urban-gentleman.jpg http://www.theurbangent.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/patte... are baffling and incomprehensible to people who are not "into" fashion and are likely to make them reject the whole thing as a game for weird androgynous alien children.
As a nerd, what I would love to see is:
How to identify quality clothes - how are they made, what makes them awesome? Designer/brand name hacks - what's a huge bargain for the quality and when am I just buying a brand name?
Color/pattern theory - still not sure what colors go together and how to mix patterns.
Some sort of system for building a wardrobe where I can easily select stuff that works together when my mind is busy thinking of building stuff and not what to wear.
How things are supposed to fit. How to care for stuff so it doesn't shrink or fall apart.
Hope this helps...
- jordynclee 14y agoThank you so much for your great advice. You are the epitome of the guy that I want to help, because I understand you're busy building amazing products and don't have time to think about clothes. I will definitely take your advice and write posts regarding each one, so keep a look out! And for the record, I think those guys on The Urban Gentleman look awful. Please don't leave the house in that. ;)
