The sudden switch from Republicans-vs-Democrats to Nelly *within the same tweet* is so random and bizarre that it would be hilarious no matter what the content.
CHH and the Menswear Guy, doing the Lord's work on Twitter. Thank heavens that hasn't changed. Really, you two are the only things I miss from that hellsite.
Is bad date guy the new Donald Trump? Someone who is obviously horrid but who comes up with these - god forgive me - catchy phrases? I am saving "never ever feel alone deadass" as an exit line for something. It's etched into my brain forever.
Re the shoes: the shade is called Cognac. It is gorgeous but hard agree with menswear guy here. Also, it looks good on brogues imo, but less on wholecut oxfords - bit too pimpy.
In any case, there's a bit of a taboo in the well dressed anglosphere on brown shoes: "never brown when in town" is a litteral saying. Which is not a thing in, emg: France or Italy (the reverse is true for white socks). So the connotation of cognac shoes is going to be "flamboyant southern European" in many cases.
Nothing could advance national healing more than a campaign of chic older gay guys telling us we look good in the grocery store. Like getting a Paul Hollywood handshake 🥰

You missed the entire Russini/Vrabel drama? I guess sports is an entirely different ecosystem. Do they even talk about sports on twitter anymore, or is it all just a bunch of nerds and theater kids?
Also, I don’t think I have that precise shade of brown shoes (I have lighter and darker) but I realize I have precisely zero sense of why those shoes go with the one outfit and not the other. I guess that’s why I don’t even try to be fashionable.
Re sneaker soles getting “played out lightning fast”:
Maybe I’m exaggerating, but I feel like I’ve been wearing these shoes with business casual for more than TEN YEARS and have been self-consciously waiting for them to go out of style for more than five years! But I keep seeing my peers wear them. Obviously, none of that means that either I or any of the men I work with have any fashion sense…
Both of these responses were illuminating. I was thinking that maybe somehow I had missed the fact that these shoes were “out of style”, but it turns out they are very much “in style” - it’s just that “serious fashion people” don’t like them. Got it :)
You don't need to wait for your peers to stop wearing them. You just need to realize that in every single instance, you'd look better wearing regular dress shoes or regular sneakers rather than sneaker/ dress-shoe hybrids.

I also think those shoes are extremely dated. The walnut brogues with a skinny fit suit was every wedding in the 2010s. (I’m

Oh d-d-dear

Were they ever "in style" though? People wear them, but I've heard serious fashion folks complain about sneaker soles for the past 20 years.
