And as for tights, I am a fan of the crochet variety

I used to wear socks with my boots in the winter, but it was so hard getting the boots on, so I just let my toes freeze to death.

@ploesj: fuck no. People that wear leggings as pants are fucking stupid.

@cantank: when I used to wear tights (2-3 years ago) those were the only kind I ever wore. Now I can never find them cause I live in Florida :(

It's becuz you lil' people have to take more steps to cover more ground, so your calve muscles get more worked, hence making them bigger. :rolleyes:

crochet tights look great, but not an option for me since i have two cats who like to claw my legs and a dog who often places his paws on them.

edit: i'm short and my calves are pretty big too, but that's mainly because i've been riding a bike to school for six years, an hour a day. and some genetics.

Fall is time for not only boots, but knitwear!!!

yesss!!! i love how that looks. and i can wear it, as long as none of the wool parts actually touches my skin!

I'm a sucker for knitted sweaters and scarves.
My aunt always makes me scarves with wild colors in them... I have a bright green one and a purple and blue one.

i dont know but round calves > tube calves

tube calves were pamela anderson's weak spot imho

Knitwear is great, so comfy. I want to go shopping in NYC. LA is lame when it comes to fall/winter clothes. Seriously. Lame. I'm assuming Florida is the same way?!

i never really feel like buying winter clothes, mostly because its so much wool... and mostly grey or black... so i just wear all my clothes together during the winter.

winter means it's time for SNOW BOOTS




and I do not give a shit what anyone says, I love moon boots.

See, I only have ugg boots for the snow. Similar to these:

We don't get snow here, but I live close enough to be able to drive about 20 mins to the mountains and play in the snow if/when I want...

it has only snowed here for maybe ten minutes this year. i guess buying snow boots isn't exactly necessary.

what is the nicest thing you see in this season's clothes? i like the masculine elements still being there, with a female twist... jackets, shirts with bows or ruffles, vests...

I love this season's jackets. I wish I had money.

steal some or learn how to sew :D



i just bought this one today, good for the inbetween weather we have here so often.

the cardigan has made a comeback in men's fashion. I now own two, the slimmer thinner kind in cotton/cashmere blend. One's a little looser, from BR, and a little more casual. The other is slighter trimmer and dressier looking, from J. Crew, one I could conceivably wear under a suit jacket, fer instance. Both are navy.

The thing about either is that you can dress them up or down. Go with a dress shirt and pants, or tee shirt and jeans. They're neat.

I now find myself lusting after a navy shawl-collar cardigan.

I love vintage coats. I get all mine from thrift stores, you don't ever need to spend A LOT of $ on a classic coat.







Also, navy style pea coats are great if done right:

Damn, the only coats I've ever found at thrift stores in my size are moth-eaten rags about two decades or more out of style.

cardigans are great indeed, i own a few (mostly just basic ones) and wear them as jackets when its not that cold, or to a concert (you can easily stuff them in a handbag)

i have them in grey, blue, brownand black but will probably buy a red one soon.
