audreyk Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 It's been awhile since I've participated. So here is an outfit you will likely find me wearing in London. My style has become slightly more androgynous since I began this thread, but I still maintain a distinction between man/woman in person. Marc by Marc Jacobs Georgette Silk Twill Top layered over victorian vintage shirt Inc. skinny pants Stuart Weitzman pumps Please pardon the temporary appearance of my apartment while it's undergoing renovations. I like the top, but it's very high style and fashion forward, so it only works if you're going to a high style fashion forward place. It'll definitely attract attention like a lot of designer clothing. I don't know that it matches the pumps that well though....

Marc by Marc Jacobs Georgette Silk Twill Top layered over victorian vintage shirt Inc. skinny pants Stuart Weitzman pumps Please pardon the temporary appearance of my apartment while it's undergoing renovations. I like it. Have you considered trying this outfit with boots? It might work better with the top. Still the pumps work OK. BTW, your appartment looks better than mine at the moment! I've got some new pictures. Recently made, I'm sure. I leave the judgment to you guys Of course I like to make more, but that depends on my spare time. I am overrun by work Wow, Zero! That outfit really suits you and it works really well. You'll have no problems wearing that in public I bet! Kudos! Heel-D - Freestyling since 2005
Thighbootguy Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 Zero; That is a great look. I started a thread on Boots At Work. I have been wearing 2" block heeled boots under my slacks for a couple of months. All the details are on the BAW thread. I dream of a world where chickens can cross roads without having their motives questioned.
Elegant Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 Holy Crap! Zero, I haven't seen you for a LONG time... And you look more androgynous than before. More power to you! What is good for a goose, can be good for any gender!
canadianbeaver17 Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 Zero, a perfect outfit! Looks very natural on you! And I also like the nail polish myself.
kneehighs Posted November 9, 2007 Author Posted November 9, 2007 .....snip....I don't know that it matches the pumps that well though.... I like it. Have you considered trying this outfit with boots? It might work better with the top. Still the pumps work OK. BTW, your appartment looks better than mine at the moment!... Ideally, I would wear this outfit with some variation of a lace up oxford heel, but at the moment I don't own a pair yet. A compromise with the pumps fits perfectly with my personal preference though. Feminine Style . Masculine Soul. Skin In The Game.
Elegant Posted November 10, 2007 Posted November 10, 2007 BTW, I went to a Closterkeller concert on Thursday. The band plays gothic metal and is popular in the Polish scene. It's also controversial, especially among batcavers [old-school goths - they didn't necessarily have to go to the Batcave club], because many people say that it's a goth band, but their music doesn't have too much in common with classic gothic rock like The Sisters of Mercy, Bauhaus or Siouxie and the Banshees. I wanted to see them and make my opinion. After all, I agreed with the "batcaver point of view". Anyway, I wore rather loose-fitting leather pants, my new leather vest [it's high-cut, and it's rather hard to get a simmilar garment...], long leather blazer, white tuxedo shirt without pleats on the front [but still with a stand-up collar and French cuffs] and a white silk necktie. Of course, I also wore a leather bag and mid-calf leather coat. I decided to don my oxfords, because they're quite comfortable, and I planned to dance a bit. As the time was running out [the concert was supposed to begin at 7pm instead of 8pm as I thought earlier], I didn't have an opportunity to go to radio station I work at and do my makeup. My mother is still conservative and she didn't even want to hear about me wanting to dye my hair black or dark red, and she doesn't like my "men in makeup" idea. So, at the venue, I painted my nails black and applied red lipstick. It was too dark to do eye makeup, and I couldn't find a light switch for the bathroom [where a nice mirror is]. So, I stayed without eyeliner and mascara, but the rest was OK. No negative reactions apart from one guy calling me a paedophile behind my back- oh, the tolerance . Two girls actually wanted to have photos taken with me. I was the only guy to wear leather, let alone heels or makeup, so I stood out a bit. It didn't disturb me at all. Some girls wore nice dresses, but most guys wore all black, combat boots, chain and so on, and so on. Not too much originality there. After the concert, I decided to go with two girls and two guys- in some situations I dislike wandering lonely at night. One of the guys was Greek, so we talked in English without any difficulty. What is good for a goose, can be good for any gender!
Zero Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 Amazing!! I see the tail of pages making a count of 2!!! Thanks guys! Oh well, on too the subject. Last friday I just gathered all I needed to force myself into public view with of course the boots you can all see in my last posted pictures. I could choose between flats and heels. And when I placed them before me, you can picture the situation already. Temptation and salvation. I picked that second word because flats are a salvation in some cases. But I found them too boring for me to present myself again with yesterday's outfit so I just took a gamble of go for it. Well, the point is that all my expectations were formed by an uncertaintity within emotions. I just didn't know if it would be a failure of a day, or just one to applaude myself for. But I didn't get much replies except for some one who's childish enough (at work) to mock me once in a while but the guy just doesn't know any better. His behaviour is already unwanted by others, but appearantly I'm the only one laughing about it. However, I went to work last friday and proudly walked on high heels. Some women caught a glimpse of it but as I said in the topic about Kneehigh's adventures, no one really has the nerve to talk to you about it. Strangers are just afraid to start a conversation. Well, the only way to change that is when I take initiative. It might work if the very first thing that I care to say does not necessarily build up my way to cover the subject about footwear, although it does work with women. Somehow it are the women we want to present us too. Since they understand the footwear better than most men, why not make some remarks about their footwear? Well, gladly I found a way of doing that. It would be odd just saying something nice about HER shoes without any asuming reason. It might create confusion and is oftenly noticable in their facial expression. But my excuse was the change of weather. It suddenly turned soooo cold here in Holland that when I spot a lady wearing pumps or anything shoes that uncover a part of bare feet, I can instantly find the one reason to ask her the next: "Isn't it cold when you walk on those shoes outside?" Instead of just hoping for conversation you really want, it is to accept that the obvious answers are always the same: NO, I wear panty-hose. Do'h!! Of course they do! But that isn't my aim. Most of them look down and lift up one of their elegant legs that uncovers the rest of the shoe. It may seem like a fetishfull moment, but the true aim is that they look at my shoes too. Well that is my game here. The same thing goes for nailpolish too. Well that one is far away in history much more accepted than high heels for men. Most compliments are just made when they see the works of profession in nailart. They never talk about your choice of color, and they never ask you more unless they never had a lesson in alternative lifestyle. But the point is that I have worn high heels at work and without problems. I'll just keep mixing styles and to answer some of the people's questions here: I work for a cable company at the Technical Support helpdesk. It's office work so you can guess where I want to go with my fashion... hehehe If all is lost as it may seem, in a cruel endless game, I'd rather live to redeem, than to die in shame!
Danielinheels Posted November 16, 2007 Posted November 16, 2007 As promised, a new adventure, albeit a short one since it was a Sunday and I had to get back to the house to watch my Eagles in action against the Jets. Anyhoo, I went on an outing downtown, sporting my black leather jacket over a blue turtleneck, navy dress pants, suntan pantyhose and the navy RSVP pumps. Just like at the mall on Saturday, I didn't garner anything in the way of attention in the almost two hours I was out, including a leisurably stroll through a major chain bookstore and a mall area for lunch. At the risk of sounding full of myself, I thought I looked pretty damn good! All in all, this outing was even more enjoyable than Saturday's because I was wearing pumps, my favorite women's shoe style, and I always feel great when I'm in them. And now, the pics. Enjoy! http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r96/JeffCB2006/navyoutfit-1.jpg?t=1192387298 http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r96/JeffCB2006/navyoutfit-3.jpg?t=1192387346 Nice pictures, but BOOOOOOOOO Eagles! (I like Westbrook though.) I hope the numbers 27 and 24 don't make you too upset Be yourself; everyone else is already taken. - Oscar Wilde
altf Posted November 16, 2007 Posted November 16, 2007 I've got some new pictures. Recently made, I'm sure. I leave the judgment to you guys Of course I like to make more, but that depends on my spare time. I am overrun by work Wahoo ! great style, I love it.
JeffB Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 Nice pictures, but BOOOOOOOOO Eagles! (I like Westbrook though.) I hope the numbers 27 and 24 don't make you too upset Glad you liked the pics. By the by, did you also like the beatdown your Saints suffered to winless St. Louis? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
Danielinheels Posted November 18, 2007 Posted November 18, 2007 Glad you liked the pics. By the by, did you also like the beatdown your Saints suffered to winless St. Louis? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! I've been attending Saints games sporadically since 1990 (they started me early), that's the first time I've ever left early and I've sat through some BAD games. Be yourself; everyone else is already taken. - Oscar Wilde
kneehighs Posted November 18, 2007 Author Posted November 18, 2007 My new pants: Great pants! This is just my humble opinion, but if you took that shirt to a tailor and had the waist brought in to make it tighter and more form fitting, you would create a tasteful silhouette and a cohesively slim and positive image of a man in pointy pumps.

Pumps Posted November 18, 2007 Posted November 18, 2007 Or I could maybe just buy a womens shirt ? I just found a women's jacket I never worn. Whatcha think ?
johnieheel Posted November 18, 2007 Posted November 18, 2007 Looks great but needs a smile. Really, looks good. real men wear heels
kneehighs Posted November 18, 2007 Author Posted November 18, 2007 Or I could maybe just buy a womens shirt ? I just found a women's jacket I never worn. Whatcha think ? I think you look great in the coat. It slims you and the sleeves on your shirt stylishly protrude out from under the sleeves on your coat. Add a unisex necklace to match the ornamentations on your shoes and in my opinion, it would be complete. Your plain black boots would look great with that outfit too. Feminine Style . Masculine Soul.

ShockQueen Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 Very nice outfit in this latest pic, Pumps! :-) I like the way the whole package flows, and you would have no problems wearing this ensemble out. SQ.....still busting societal molds with a smile...and a 50-ton sledge!
Pumps Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 Thank I must say so far the outfit is a hit. No weird reactions from people. Now, if I ever get up the courage to go out to clubs (which I probable wont), this is my outfit.
Elegant Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 You'd better gather the courage, because it's a really good outfit! What is good for a goose, can be good for any gender!
Pumps Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 You'd better gather the courage, because it's a really good outfit! Thanks The problem is that this city is really not safe at the weekends, even for people who dress regularly.
sendra45 Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 Crikey guys, you are upto 1000 repies here! congratulations to you all for keeping it alive. The angels have the phonebox.
HeelD Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 I guess I can be post 1000 then! Here's what I wore to the British Museum Monday last week: I'm not copying kneehighs by the way, we just both like the same jacket. Heel-D - Freestyling since 2005
kneehighs Posted November 27, 2007 Author Posted November 27, 2007 I'll trade you that Zara jacket for a Marc Jacobs t-shirt! How about that for a good deal? Feminine Style . Masculine Soul. Skin In The Game.
kneehighs Posted December 2, 2007 Author Posted December 2, 2007 New Outfit: I can't believe I actually had enough spare time to put together a few pictures. Pardon the floor as major renovations on my condo are scheduled for this Spring. As well, I had a hard time perfecting my pose before the 10 second timer shot the pictures, making my legs appear blurry. Nonetheless... 4" Nine West Stiletto Pointy Toe Pumps Inc. skinny pants, with twisted stitching along hem line Yohji Yamamoto shirt with asymmetrical buttons along chest line Lizzie Parker Upside Down Tunic, 95% bamboo Feminine Style .

JNR Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 The outfit is attractive. It should serve you well as you circulate throughout the Meatpacking district. One thing, though. Is it just me or does the shirt and jacket make you look heavy in the chest?
