I like it, but the pocket watch is at the border of too much. I’m reminded of the advice “get fully dressed, and then take one accessory off”.

If you are going to an event that justifies it though (occult, horology, etc.), then it works.

Haha I chain it to my smartphone 🤓

Not gonna lie, that makes it a little worse. The best part about being eccentric is having it suit your life. I’m calling it now, nobody needs a cellphone chain.

I don't know. It's saved my phone from falling several times. I guess it's not for everyone tho.

Maybe I’m just charging at windmills, but this is what I see:

  1. The weight of a phone will risk ripping the hole or removing the button when it falls.

  2. The length of chain makes it impossible to hold your phone out for a selfie.

  3. You can’t hand your phone off to anyone else to look at something.

  4. You create a WTF moment every time you pull your phone out.

Most importantly, there is a cheap, ubiquitous, and reliable solution that fixes all of these problems—the trusty cellphone case.

Watch chains used with a watch will protect the fragile watch without risking your vest, allows the watch to be held at the correct distance for use, and visibly suggest that you have the time.

At the end of the day, you do you, but choosing quirky accessories that are worse tools for the purpose you are choosing to use them for is the number one reason that people get called out for trying too hard in fashion.

I will be your giant:

  1. Hasn't been an issue (yet)
  2. Just tried it and while I can take a selfie, it does limit how much of the background I can capture, so sometimes I'll have to unhook it.
  3. Yeah, I have to unhook it, that's fair. Not hard to do, but an extra step.
  4. These have only been positive so far.

I have a phone case, but I'm also paranoid.

Honestly, it's born out of a philosophical idea that smartphones are the modern day equivalent of pocket watches: a device we carry with us to stay in sync with the rest of the world. (Worth noting I don't own a smart watch.) So your points are mostly valid, but it's my special kind of crazy.

You're a good giant

Honestly can't really tell from the picture that your shirts pink. Is it really pastel and just doesn't show up well in the picture or am I slightly colorblind

[-] Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca 7 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Wait, the shirts pink? I thought it was pinkish highlights in the handkerchief

[-] Jilanico@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

White and gold or blue and black?

[-] Jilanico@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

Yeah it's light pink. I tried to adjust the pic to make it come through, but it didn't work 😓

My first thought....

[-] Nastybutler@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

Strong hipster vibes. I'm imagining you have a curled handlebar mustache

You should get one of them lint removers, like ESLint

[-] Jilanico@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

You're right, but I'll use a lint roller. ESLint would be over engineering it 😅

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 days ago

I'm afraid that is purple. Looks smooth

[-] Hello_there@fedia.io 2 points 5 days ago

I like it, except for the cock ring.

[-] verity_kindle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 days ago

I like it! The pink is muted enough to really compliment the tie. Love the pattern. I don't love the pocket square,though. Perhaps a solid color, the paisley clashes a bit with the tie pattern.

[-] Jilanico@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

I ended up ditching the pocket square 👍

[-] Jilanico@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

I appreciate the energy 😂
