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.

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!!!

 

 

 

[ploesj]

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

[terriblecanyons]

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?!

[ploesj]

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.

[Kegmama]

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...

[ploesj]

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

[ploesj]

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...

[terriblecanyons]

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

[ploesj]

steal some or learn how to sew

 

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:

 

[gmku]

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.
