Why does this look like a costume rather than an outfit true to his character?
>>
>>18579623
is that die workwear??
>>
>>18579623
the coat doesn't fit properly
>>
Because of the briefcase. Briefcases are obsolete now that we have laptops and tablets. And also because of the glasses, those frames do not match the period of the rest of the cosplay.
>>
>>18579623
because its like trying to become the next Jimmy Hendrix in 2025 by playing outdated rock music. No, dipshit the 1960s are over, that moment had its peak 60 years ago and had now passed. You wont be able to recreate it without it looking out of place and pastiche at best. To be relevant you need to come with something ingenious within the current given context, and rock music is not that anymore. So in other words: you can't be walking around dressing like Bogart in a era of Pete Davidsons.

There is no reason to wear a had unless its super windy outside or you hair straight up sucks
>>
>>18579623
because he's asian dressed like an Englishman from 70 years ago
he might as well be dressed like dracula
>>
Anachronistic is the word.
>>
>>18579623
Because everyone else dresses like absolute shit and you have to as well because you should just shut up and follow the lemmings off the cliff because society or some other bullshit.

>>18579632
>too baggy
>too tight
>doesn't fit
What do you bitches want?
>>
>>18579623
HUEG buttons you'd see on a women's or children's coat, enormous peaked lapel that protrudes outwards instead of draping correctly
Anachronistic and mismatched briefcase that is completely obsolete from a design standpoint and material used
>50', 40's, 60's
Chigga, that's a whole generation and completely different fashion trends, pick a lane.

the hat makes the whole fit look dated
the fucking briefcase is just cringe
the same thing worn without the hat/with a white/red baseball hat would look better (even more so if he'd lose the chud glasses and got himself some bold designer frames)
>>18579906
>for the casual ass place he is at
the street? the sidewalk?
>>18580539
lmaooooo

Because it is October, Vivziepop

>>18580650
>the street? the sidewalk?
look at the environment the vid is being taken at
shitty graffiti, cholo ass shit place that at most has some hispter retards. This dude is overdressed for such a casual enviroment also 99% of graffiti looks like dogshit. He should have went casual but with clothing that fits well. And wearing something that aint the reddit glasses.

his thumb placement is wrong, men who hold suitcases cross their thumb over to their fingers to better perform the vertical suitcase lift, men who do not typically use suitcases have a forward thumb grip in order to do an angled suitcase lift (a tilt). this usually is because they are climbing up and down stairs as opposed to taking elevators and lifting the suitcase to an elevated position (car boot, plane luggage compartment, train overhead tray).

his jacket is tailored too aggressively in at the waist, giving him ridiculous proportions, overmasculine, these long trenchcoats are supposed to create a boxy tall shape not a v-taped broad-narrow-broad shape which makes him look shorter and more feminine, since his hips flare out at the pockets, so the silhouette is wrong.

the way he grabs and shows his hat is the way he has seen people on youtube do it, clearly he has watched a lot of tutorials and is experienced with the movement. unfortunately people on youtube showing the technique (called a french pinch) are demonstrating it in reverse (so you can follow along) so he is doing it exactly like them instead of in a mirror, so he would know how to put on and take off someone else's hat but for himself it is completely wrong so visually it looks wrong when he shows the flourish. it is the same as teaching someone a magic trick vs performing it to an audience, he is showing you the wrong view because he learned to perform the action by rote instead of in a mirror so that the move appears normal to an observer. his shoes are period incorrect and too polished (mirror polish on black is ridiculous) and too pointed. overall there is a mismash of problems.

gloves inside the handkerchief pocket? insane, gloves are always on the outside pocket. light brown leather suitcase without brown leather shoes and with light grey calf leather? insane not matching the leather tones. tie without tie pins? purple with pink accents without matching cufflinks-

it looks off because he's wearing a hybrid 1930s 1960s 1990s outfit with weird choices. if he was tall, thin and had angular features the outfit would be fine (if he folded over his pants to expose some sock and wore more reasonable shoes and had his gloves on.

it's like a time traveller walking in public wearing skinny jeans, a faux fur full length jacket, a pool duck around his waist red pump high heels and night vision goggles. yes those are all broadly late 20th century early 21st century items, but not worn together like that they aren't.

if this guy went back in time people would assume because he's asian he doesn't know wtf he is wearing and just humor him. the boxy overcoat suit look worked well when men where very thin 6'2 and 150-170lbs, because their hollow sunken in features matched well with the oversized frame and silhouette, the same way girls today do the oversized fit to complement their elfin childlike qualities. tall thin men look like coathangers so the fashion matched the style. men got fatter and fashions changed. going back is hard unless you fit the perfect greek ideal, which our OP does not.

>its like a time traveler
bruh he is a time traveler

It doesn't look bad because he mixes things from slightly different time periods or because he's holding his briefcase wrong or the fit is off, that's pseud bullshit trying to contextualize why you instinctively hate it. The real reason is what you clothes say about you, just like a guy dressed in crisp and clean workwear immediately tells you what kind of person he is, so does a guy dressed in 1950s businessman cosplay say a lot about him and none of it is good. It's like those brazilians doing Peaky Blinders cosplay, it's cringe, but not because the clothes aren't perfectly tailored, it's cringe because why the fuck are you dressed like that and acting like that in the year two thousand twenty something.

>>18580715
he could stand outside of the white house and still look out of place

I agree the shoes look cheap, but the mirror polish was literally the base standard for shoes for the entirety of the 19th and 20th century.
Polishing ones shoes was something everyone took pride in, it was as important as a clean shaven face or a well cut green lawn.
