I know there’s a time and place but should Black men go back to dressing like this?

It only makes sense if you’re self sufficient. Can’t be working a 9-5 then step outside acting like someone else doesn’t control your livelihood. That’s what is called being fake. Contrived mannerisms.

That picture will instill fear in the hearts others though. Be a boss (not appointed) of your own successful company thennnn you can floss.
no such thing as self sufficient unless you live off grid in the middle of nature somewhere. surviving off the planet

You either have one boss in your 9-5 or you own your own business like the dude who does my electrical work and then i get to tell you what to do just as if i was your boss, as well as everybody else you provide services for.
I tell entrepreneurs what to do all the time. Just told a lawn maintenance company owner i hired to cut down a tree i ain't paying him shyt until he gathers up all the twigs and debris he left on my property. Don't act like those people who don't have a boss have it any better than 9 to 5ers.
In the ATL business owners might be able to treat their clients like shyt, but in the rest of the world its the other way around.

I recently saw these clips of Mos Def and others dressed like chic vagrants. I prefer this style, but haute homeless is cool if you like.

Being able to switch up styles is the best way imo. Fashion is an expression and extension of you, so your wardrobe or lack thereof exposes a lot about you.

I will say this, being able to dress up for multiple occasions shows you have a few things going for you in life.

Well dressed Men receive the biggest props from other Men and Women. It's one thing to get complimented on a pair sneakers that no one might have, but the compliments you receive for wearing a proper fitting Suit? You will feel like Atlas is holding you above the World.

Nah. They over dressed to hell.

But you can still dress nice while going about your business.

Speaking of which, what type of coat is this? :ohhh:




I searched “double breasted peak lapel camel car coat” and this the first to come up

nope, just don't buy into narrative of people trying think they are better off than some coca cola executive making millions because he answers to a ceo and has to be a work at 9am everyday. Simply because they own their own food truck and get to start working for 30k a year on their own schedule. while getting cursed out every time he gets an order wrong.
