    His jacket looks like right before he gave someone a hug which raised the upper back portion or waved with a high shoulder action. That action lifted the bottom and pulled at the chest due to it being buttoned. My suits often do this as well. His fit around the arms specifically and the mid section shows that it’s much more appropriately sized and tailored to him. Not just something oversized and slapped on.

    Yeah, so good suits don’t ride up and look like shit the second you start moving in them. I’d say he could use a better tailor, but I’m guessing his stylist got the jacket from Armani like two days before and they didn’t feel like rushing any tailoring and just thought it was good enough.

    We had a few good ideas from the 90s. However baggy jeans and chunky shoes literally never looked good. It goes back to the 70s and the bell bottoms and how bad those looked too. The skinny jean fit was bad because it was skin tight which made people look like they were walking on stilts. However a proper fitting Jean or pant looks significantly better than this current trend. I’ve just seen people trying to bring back the denim on denim look of the 90s as well… which is never a good sign.

    I’m still not clear on why you think Will’s pants look good. The golden era was full of wide legs, the only times slim legs were normal before 2008 were fabric rationing (affected production in the 40s, mostly seen in style in the 50s) and SLP (a 70s alternative to flared legs). Will’s pants taper hard to the ankle with zero room—if they were any longer, they wouldn’t be able to break right, because they’re just way too narrow at the leg opening.

    People love to talk shit about anything that’s not super slim as though they understand how tailoring works. Like, “oh my God, the pants don’t bunch up at all, this is 90s style JNCO bullshit!” Naw, Jeremy Allen White’s pants here are probably the most classic cut.
